    Guests visiting a home with new dog?

    Think I'm going to need that luck. We've been together two and a half years. Didn't see this coming... Anyways, thanks all. Appreciate the input.

    Guests visiting a home with new dog?

    Not that I'm trying to make excuses. I just don't want to assume anything; we all know what can happen if someone does that.

    Guests visiting a home with new dog?

    To mnewsham's point, the underlying cause may be that we had plans and I'm changing them without talking to her about it. Not necessarily the "my house, my parents, my dog" bit.

    Time to start working on my apology and come up with a strategy to accommodate both parties. Fun fun...

    mnewsham, good point. I didn't ask her; didn't even think about it.

    Guests visiting a home with new dog?

    The new dog is 8 months. The foster home indicated the dog was in foster care due to neglect. No physical abuse.

    Guests visiting a home with new dog?

    My girlfriend and I have plans to go adopt a dog next Friday. My parents called some time after the plans were made, they will be in the area and asked if they could crash at my place that same weekend; I said yes. My girlfriend does not live with me. We do already have a dog; 5 months...

    Itemized contracts from vendors?

    Well one leads to the other, right? If I know what it costs from vendor A, then (in this case anyways) I can use vendor B's promo to get it for less. Yea, I think I'm going to have to push some more buttons for this one...

    Itemized contracts from vendors?

    The company isn't 'large'. There is a multi-year goal to cut IT spending; real shocker, right? I'm not trying to be a 'golden child'. I have to support/maintain the software in question and it's a pain in the ass. It's too "bulky"; too many individual pieces. My main goal is to get a...

    Itemized contracts from vendors?

    Thanks skimple. I don't care how much they are making, I'm interested on what we are actually paying. Since the software is bundled, it is making it that much more difficult to price compare to competitors. We are probably not paying list price, but that is the only real number I have...

    Itemized contracts from vendors?

    I am part of the mainframe support team for an insurance company in Massachussetts. Is anyone aware of a law (state or federal) with regards to requiring vendors to identify exactly what you are paying for an how much? Since I'm not involved in contracts, I've asked a number of individuals...

    Subwoofer seems too soft...

    Well, I feel like an idiot. There were little "scroll down" arrows on some of the setup pages that I didn't notice. Under the Equalizer settings, the subwoofer was set to minimum (-15db). I bumped it up to -6db and scenes sound much better. So, lesson of the day: Pay attention to what's on...

    Subwoofer seems too soft...

    I set the fronts to 80Hz. The sub is turned up to 120Hz. I played the tower assault scene from the Matrix and it felt/sounded like that was a gap. The subwoofer was working, but it wasn't very pronounced. Even the explosion was weak. Maybe the sub isn't picking up the full range? Even...

    Subwoofer seems too soft...

    Lol, I'll try that first. My cables are a rat's nest; I wasn't looking forward to reconnecting the fronts to the sub.

    Subwoofer seems too soft...

    I'll try running the mains through the sub; see what happens.

    Subwoofer seems too soft...

    Under speaker configuration, it is set to 'full band' instead of 'large'. Yes there is cone movement. I can hear bass coming from the subwoofer, but I can't feel it. I know the A2-250 is a relatively small subwoofer, but it used to rattle the glass inserts in my coffee table in some scenes.

    Subwoofer seems too soft...

    Hi all, Long story short, I reassembled my home theater setup after being idle for 8 months. I found that my receiver, an Onkyo SR605, was no longer in working order. The warranty has long since expired and I wasn't able to figure out what was wrong with it, so I purchased an Onkyo SR608 to...

    WWII Battleship gun info

    Thanks for the info guys. Love the pictures. I'm still going to try to find that show though. Maybe I just heard the narrator wrong or misinterpreted what he said... either way, it's going to bug me until I find it. ;)

    WWII Battleship gun info

    I don't remember how we got on this topic, but at work today we got on the subject of WWII battleships. I made the comment of how the battleships needed to alternate firing guns on the same side of the ship because the ship couldn't handle too many (all?) firing at the same time. I don't...

    Is there an organization that...

    Unfortunately, not from what I have read. Brokers just seem to do what they are told. I say buy, they buy. I say sell, they sell. I'd like to just say "Ok, here is a few thousand, I'll be back in 12 months, go make me some more money..." :D

    Is there an organization that...

    Savings accounts and bonds are too "slow". CDs didn't seem worth it either. $8k for 5 years at 3% only nets ~$1,300. That's approximately $260/year. It's better than savings, but it doesn't even cover an average monthly bill.

    Is there an organization that...

    Right; high return = high risk. I guess the 'positive' was a little too much wishful thinking. I'll edit the original post.

    Is there an organization that...

    ... I can give money to to invest and I can come back at the end of the year and hopefully have a positive return on investment? I am in the process of buying my first house and I'm deciding what to do with the $8k tax credit. One option is to invest, but after a weekend of reading about the...

    Nokia 5800 Nav Edition confusion

    I've been looking for a new phone and the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition caught my eye. After looking into it, I found some conflicting specs regarding the 3G bands. From Amazon: WCDMA 900/1900, Quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 From Newegg: UMTS 850/1900, Quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900...

    Distorted display at boot time

    Instead of installing XP, I just put a 4770 in my old machine. (Should have thought of this first, but oh well...) Same distortion on the old machine with the new card. I'm just going to RMA the 4770s. Thanks for the replies :)

    Distorted display at boot time

    I swapped out the HD4770's for a single HD3850. Post looked fine, but the distortion appeared at the Windows start up screen. It went away at the loggin screen. So, with a 24 inch display, the following configurations show distortion at post, Windows start up, and any resolution below 1680...

    Distorted display at boot time

    I tried a number of different resolutions, and yes, if the resolution is too low, the same effects occur. In this case, too low is anything under 1680x1050. I have had this display for a couple months and I didn't have a problem like this before. My old machine didn't exhibit any...

    Distorted display at boot time

    DVI - on both. Not at the same time. :) I have also tried both DVI ports on card 1. No effect. I have tried switching card 1 and card 2 (moving card 1 to slot 3 and card 2 to slot 1). No effect.

    Distorted display at boot time

    Hi folks, I recently built a new machine and during post, the screen is distorted. The distortion consists of lines going across the screen (similar to old CRT TVs that had rabbit ears) and the words/logos on the screen are 'echoed' horizontally. The effects persist through the Windows...

    "scary" movies for the kids?

    How about the old Abbott and Costello movies? Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstien and Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy. I haven't seen them recently, but I think they were a little scary. More funny than scary, but still....

    Bump for some numbers. and by numbers I mean a price guesstimate for what it would cost to clear some wooded land. :P

    Clearing a wooded lot

    Huh, I didn't even think of that. I'll definitely keep that in mind. The ad didn't explicitly say if there was road frontage, but from the part of town it is in, I would assume so. Something I would need to ask if I did call on it. Even so, the lot is only 15,000 sqft. It's not exactly...

    Clearing a wooded lot

    From the picture it looked fairly level. I would definitely go see it if I get serious about that lot. However I don't want to spend too much time on this route if the additional cost of clearing exceeds a predetermined percentage of an equivalent lot with an existing house. Just a side...

    Clearing a wooded lot

    I am currently on the market for a house. However I am still undecided if I want to buy an existing house or build on an empty lot. I have found some reasonably priced lots in my area, but they are wooded lots. I do plan on calling some local services, but I have no idea what to expect or...

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma

    Well that stinks. The game has a steep enough learning curve as it is.... Gratz on beating the game. :) I have only gotten as far as Chapter 3, but have restarted the game four times now. I keep getting so far, then realizing I have been doing something wrong or I could have been doing...

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma

    I recently bought a PS3 and I picked this game up with it. I was wondering if there is a way to reload from a save point while in the game without having to dying. Example: Several waves of ninja attack, I don't fight as well as I'd like and end up using too many elixers. At this...

    Apartments in Binghamton, NY area?

    Summit Chase seemed like a nice place. I never actually lived there. It was in a nice 'pocket' of Endicott too. But that 'pocket' wasn't too large. The area around it (north and east) was a bit run down. You'd be right next to the IBM plant at Glendale park. There is also a private airport...
