    What's your favorite BBQ sauce?

    This is pure awesome http://www.thesmokering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1359 I'll also doctor up some kc masterpiece or sbr's with 2 parts sauce - 2 parts apple juice - 1 part apple cider vinegar to make a nice glaze on stuff when I'm wanting a sweet sauce.

    Do you feel that broadband is a legal right?

    Is that "all"? So the telco spends a ton of money to provide broadband to the 3 people that live 20 miles from town and the rest of the customers subsidize their reasonably priced connection? Sorry but I believe in the free market. If you live in a place where it isn't financially feasible...

    Help with Cocktails

    Vodka is a must have, its neutral taste will let you mix it with cranberry juice, oj, punch, 7up, tonic, whatever your guests like. Buy some dry vermouth and you could make vodka martinis (the half bottle is like $5 and should be all you need). Add roses sweetened lime juice and you have a...

    Do you feel that broadband is a legal right?

    This. It seems like such a simple question it shouldn't have to be asked. No one is forcing you to live in a particular location. If you want it, pay for it. If you can't pay for it, tough.

    360 and sd card

    Thanks for the advice guys, I went to walmart and picked up a targus sd only reader for $8 and popped in my adata 16gb card, just installed dead rising to it! Man its nice to not have the drive running when playing a game.

    360 and sd card

    I was wondering about how picky it was with the reader and media. From what I've seen of reviews, it seems like a crapshoot if thumb drives will pass its data loss test or not and I've noticed the xbox won't read cards off my multi reader. I might try a single slot reader and hope for the best.

    360 and sd card

    I have an arcade and I hear there's an update that will let it put save games and games on usb devices. Does it work as well with a dedicated reader and a class 6 sd card as thumb drives? I have a spare 16gb class 6 sd that I'm not using but I'm hesitant to apply the update since it will take...

    What type of booze is good but cheap?

    Honestly when making mixed drinks I have few complaints about bottom self liquor. I like a manhattan made with the cheap house brand bourbon and martini or gallo red. You could also mix it with coke if you like. Cheap gin or vodka and tonic. cheap vodka makes a fine cape cod and can be...

    Recommend me booze! I don't drink. Hate alcohol taste.

    It seems like a disingenuous argument about semantics to say that a tasty drink that derives flavors from having alcohol isn't tasty because of alcohol. But even assuming that you're just trying to say that alcohol itself is tasteless, it still really doesn't hold up. Take a sniff and a swig...

    What temperature is too cold to keep beer outside?

    Its complicated but 5% beer will probably freeze at 28, although it will take a while to get there. Just set it inside for now and put it outside a few hours before you need it cold.

    Recommend me booze! I don't drink. Hate alcohol taste.

    Ummm what? You're aware that a great deal off food products are fermented and it has nothing to do with poison right? We're talking about things like bread, yogurt, cheeses, sauerkraut, pickles, vinegar and about a million other foods.

    I'll leave the "poison" part to someone who will do it more eloquently than I would. http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/1119724191.html To be honest alcoholic drinks can be incredibly delicious too. Does it take a while for your palate to adapt and appreciate them? Probably...

    backup util for usb flash drive

    So I've been a bad geek and somewhat neglected my backup duties. A great deal of my files were backed up only on a usb hard drive that was rarely turned on. The burned dvd archive is pretty dated and my automated backup to my nas is limited in scope due to space available. Long story short, I...

    Anyone do independent software development consulting?

    What's a fair rural hourly rate for a couple month's project doing some php/mysql? I think I'm underpricing myself out of fear of giving the giving the customer sticker shock and not adding enough in to make up for the difference in them hiring me as a contractor and not an employee. Also...

    Organic food is no healthier, study finds

    Its amazing that with all the work done on making and studying safe pesticides today all you have to do is say "chemicals" and people run screaming for a product that promises it has none of those nasty things that they don't even know. Sort of like nuclear or radiation. Personally I like...

    Good starting rifles/pistols

    How much do you want to spend? .22 is cheap and fun but so are larger calibers. Maybe get a .22 rifle (10/22 if you want to mod it, marlin 60 for just cheap and accurate out of the box, cz452 for a bolt action, marlin 39a for a sweet lever action) and then get something like a 9mm handgun.

    Gun question

    http://www.summitgunbroker.com/S_W_5906_SH.html is a cheap rock solid 9mm gun that would fit your budget and leave you some money for training and ammo. For defense though a 12ga or 20ga shotgun with a youth stock and 00 buck would be great as would an ar15 with good defensive ammo.

    Does anyone work a 40 hour week anymore? especially in IT?

    I believe that is about the road I'm going down. I'm eager to get back to work and start earning again but I feel like I've got a pretty diverse skills set and a good amount of experience. I think I'm going to hold off for an employer that can hire the appropriate number of employees to get...

    Does anyone work a 40 hour week anymore? especially in IT?

    It seems like every job interview I go on they spring a big work week on me. Talking to most of my friends, it seems like the norm. Is the idea of working "only" 40 hours a week dead for most professioanls, especially in IT? The last interview I was at they asked me what I'd think of 45-50...

    Job interviews - when do you drop your level of dress?

    At some point I would presume that I'm going to be expected to show that I'll fit in well with the company. So far I know its an agriculture oriented business in a very rural area, during my 1st interview I've seen that I was dressed significantly better than the employees, and there is no such...

    Job interviews - when do you drop your level of dress?

    Wool slack, dress shirt, and sport coat would have been my first choice but to my disappointment my sport coats seem to have shrunk since I last used them ;) The only sport coat option is a corduroy jacket which seems inappropriate for the weather now.

    Job interviews - when do you drop your level of dress?

    I'm a big believer in the theory of always wearing a suit to a job interview. At worst you'll look like you care about the position. How about follow up interviews? I've got a lunch interview coming up with a compay where my interview board was all dressed in anything from button down shirts...

    Electronics help, need to drop 13.2v dc to closer to 12

    It does, they all spin just fine on a normal power supply. Something about the power from the enclosure doesn't seem to be doing it for the drives.

    Electronics help, need to drop 13.2v dc to closer to 12

    No I haven't bothered to test for draw yet. I also assumed that the amperage listed on the drive was the peak draw, but don't know if thats how they're labeled or not. There is a little power supply unit in the enclosure itself. I'm guessing the oem power supply puts out a regulated 12v and...

    Electronics help, need to drop 13.2v dc to closer to 12

    I was actually looking at that out of curiosity thinking maybe I really underestimated draw. The 160gb western digital lists at .75A for 5v and .9A for 12v. One of the other older drives I've tried though is a 13gb deskstar that lists .3A for 5V and .4A for 12v so I'd think it should at least...

    Electronics help, need to drop 13.2v dc to closer to 12

    Yeah polarity is correct. From a little googling it looks like the max power varation atx allows is 5% which would be 12.6. Could the load of a hard drive not be enough on a 1.5A wall wart to reduce it enough? Would most hard drives have a voltage cut off where they won't power on above it...

    Electronics help, need to drop 13.2v dc to closer to 12
