The bank is screwing with me

I am with a credit union. I have a credit card with them that does the same , but I also have my savings account as an overdraft before they charge my credit card. If I have the funds available in savings , they charge a 2$ fee to transfer the money to cover the charges and no worries. If the...

Yes , I get the vaccine every year through work and will do both if offered. I have been getting it as a part of my employment for a number of years and haven't had the flu since I started. Edit: I hadn't read your links prior to response. I will do my homework before taking the H1N1 vaccine...

Hot LCD monitors

Lowering the refresh rate will not only fail to lower your heat , it will also give you one hell of a headache from looking at it.

Recommend a good UPS?

APC rules. If it has the capacity you need and the number of outputs for the actual number of things you must keep active (tower ,modem, router, one monitor, phone modem , phone, etc) you're exactly where you need to be with. I run two on my desk to keep my VOIP active as well as giving me...

How to test for bad processor?

I always find a similar processor and put it in the machine in place of the questionable one. If no issues , put the questionable one in a similar board. It helps to have friends with machines , or a local Mom and Pop computer store , they usually help in hopes of getting your business later.

So some kid asked my son what his favorite animal was. . .

Maybe a little search will do you good. They aren't the same thing necessarily. Google is your friend.

Car accident

It is illegal in most US states to change lanes within 100 feet of an intersection for this very reason. If he was in the left lane and changed to the right in the intersection , He'd be at fault in Missouri for sure. I had a similar accident in a government vehicle and the cab I hit was cited...

Searching for a "brush strip" - kind of like weather stripping, but a bristled strip instead of foam.

Walmart has them.

Cleaning thermal adhesive

Acetone. No doubt , its fast and furious. Don't use much or get on anything you don't want eaten. Be sure to wear gloves though , it permeates the skin and is in the blood nearly instantly. No follow up needed either , it leaves no residue and evaporates really quickly.

Windows licensing question

If it is a test system and you don't mind the hassle , set it up on virtual and remove /reinstall before it times out. That doesn't legally violate the the TOS and protects the primary install from any issues. Most of the magazine editors do this very thing to test new programs and...
