    Is drinking to excess most weekends (Sat, maybe Fri also) every weekend make you a....

    So like every weekend the better half and I drink to the point of being wasted almost every Saturday and many Friday nights after the kids go to bed. We are 28 (me) & 23 (her) with two kids (5 & 2). So I guess my question is if this makes us: 1. Young(ish) and having fun 2. Bad parents 3...

    People who use Gmail....

    Or is the spam finding ways to get around it now? I get a lot of spam but up until about a week ago the spam filter would flag about 99% of it. Now I get 10 to 20 pieces of blantant spam a day in my inbox. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Free multiplayer poker program for a website?

    I am just looking to put a Hold'Em game on our website (a site that a small group of friends hang out on between drinking together). We love to play poker but thought it would be cool to have it on our site to play. No money involved or anything. I thought it would be easy to find someone...

    Needed: Good MP3 player for organizing / playing complete albums

    Anyone have any suggestions? I have used various WinAmp plugins but in general they are not free and the trial ones I have used tend to be very buggy. AlbumPlayer is great but has one critical flaw... for mixed discs (soundtracks, etc) it will only show the name of the song in the playlist, so...

    Anyone know anything about Newsgroups?

    May be the wrong area but ATOT is where I do all my neffing, so here we go... Hope this is easy. I tried the usenetserver service a while back but found the speed lacking (about 300 KB on my 3 MB down DSL). So I let the three day thing expire. Well today I decided for the hell of it to try...

    Help me find a Digital Camera Please

    Thanks for looking. I am trying to decide on a digital camera. My wife (and our current financial situation) puts the limit at $200 tops and cheaper is better. I am looking for ones that will take a SD card so we can use our existing 256MB card. I don't want to buy crap again. Last...

    Another... Help with my case fan layout

    OK, so I have THIS CASE and like it a lot. But I used the fans from my last computer and my temps are all too high, the fans are loud, etc. Running 52 idle / 63 under load on a stock AMD 3000+ not overclocked. So I have ordered a Volcano 12 for the CPU and five Panaflo Low RPM fans...

    Easy question: Program to pipe sound from the microphone to the speakers

    Sounds easy but I have looked all over. Just something to pipe the mic to the speakers with a volume control. A boost option would be nice also. Really appreciate the help folks!

    What was your first PC or Computer

    I am a sucker for nostalgic computer equipment. I have a basement full of it. This past weekend I picked up a P2 300MHz system for free. But I remember paying $1,800 for a 150MHz Packard Bell when I was younger. And my first PC was a 386 running at a blistering 16MHz with a full megabyte of...

    To Dual Channel or Not to Dual Channel

    Basically I just bought a CPU/mobo/RAM/video combo off someone in the FS/T forum here and I am loving it (much much faster than my old setup). But something is bugging me, no dual channel. I am wondering if the speed boost is enough to warrant the trouble of getting a new motherboard and RAM...

    Need to lock down Windows

    OK, here is the deal. My three year old son has a computer of his own. He uses it for his games, movies, PBS website, etc. Hey, it keeps him off my computer :) Now he can navigate around it pretty well, but let me tell ya, over the course of a few weeks he has caused total chaos in some ways...
