    Basic speaker reccomendation to pair with gifted receiver (Yamaha HTR-5630)

    Thanks very much - really appreciate you spending the time to steer me in that direction! (It's sorta hard to search for when you don't know much about the topic.) Looks like some good reviews at Newegg and on the previous Anandtech posts. Now I just have to decide about waiting to save the...

    Basic speaker reccomendation to pair with gifted receiver (Yamaha HTR-5630)

    Hi all, I was given a Yamaha HTR-5630 receiver and was wondering if anyone had some basic suggestions as to what speakers I should pair with it. It's capable of 5.1 surround, but right now I'm just looking for 2 main speakers. I'm *not* an audiophile by any means, and this will basically...

    32" TV for Bedroom... Insight or Sony (or something else)?

    Thanks for the rec. Unfortunately, all area stores are sold out and the deal is apparently over. It still looks like a good deal, but I'm a little wary about shipping it to my house (issues with our delivery drivers in the past....)

    Upgrading Macbook RAM and HD. Question about RAM

    I've found PNY to be just as good as Kingston in my limited experience (~10 PC's/laptops). I'm not sure that I would go with "Memory Master," but that may be just a personal thing--I've never heard of them. As far as I know, there is no need to go with special Apple-branded/approved RAM. I've...

    32" TV for Bedroom... Insight or Sony (or something else)?

    Hi all, I'm looking for a 32" TV for a bedroom, which will be watched from about 12' away (the size is dictated by furniture and wall space). The inputs will ONLY be a Roku Box, and a Standard Definition DVD player, and perhaps 3 times a year over-the-air TV (no cable, game console, etc.)...

    Post-dating of checks

    Pretty much what everyone else has said. No one at a bank of any size checks to make sure that a.) the date has passed and b.) (especially if you're have a commercial account) that the bank is made out to the entity that holds the bank account. Automatons, all.

    File Server Software?

    Hi all, I'm trying to keep a lot of MP3's (all ripped legally, I'm happy to say) on a Linux server and access it using OS X (10.6.4). Right now I'm accessing it through a SAMBA server, and it's very slow. If I SSH into the machine, I can "ls" large directories almost instantly; in SAMBA a...

    Converting from PC to MacBook... Questions

    Yeup, I'm not a fan of the Windows 7 libraries. And I have to agree with you on the way applications are installed -- especially since there are a mix of "traditional" (i.e. Windows-based) installers, the Mac-way of dragging applications (which are all one file....) to the Application folder...

    Converting from PC to MacBook... Questions

    I agree with the others who say that Mac's are easy to get used to, but I have to say that with all of the craziness Windows has done to it's file system lately, I think Apple's approach to file system layout is much easier to grasp. Just my experience.

    Anyone here tried Chase's check deposit using an iphone?

    Tried it last night on a new iPhone 4 (yay me). Had a check from a woman with impeccable handwriting for $90.00. The Chase app said that it couldn't verify the amount and said that the check was written for $0.00. Got a call when I was trying to take a second photo, and haven't tried it...

    Any AT'ers take the GMAT?

    I had a liberal arts background (English/Econ) before I took the GMAT.... and I definitely support the whole MBA over an MS in Marketing -- the MBA is more generalizable, but you can still concentrate on marketing if you want. Good luck with the job market....

    Why is breakfast traditionally devoid of veggies?

    Off topic, but as others have said, that's a fairly US-centric view (although, there are reasons for it historically). I think that the interesting thing is that breakfast tends to be the most culturally static meal of the day. For instance, while I wouldn't think twice about having sushi for...

    Any AT'ers take the GMAT?

    I took it while I was in the middle of grad school (getting a much less useful degree). In general, it was much easier than the GRE as well (although the math portion of the GRE is a joke, the vocab section is pretty difficult). Having said that, while I don't think that "academic" grad...

    Any AT'ers take the GMAT?

    Yeup, took it (and went to B-school) -- the good news is that it's easier than the LSAT. I was a little odd, and only had about 2 weeks to study for it -- I just used the online service provided by the test company (you get access once you sign up). The hardest thing to get used to is doing math...

    Partitioning an AF (4K) Drive and Ubuntu Server 10.04

    JD50 -- THANK YOU! I've just spend the last two hours or so reading up on LVM's and relearning all of my partitioning information -- and I just got it set up before I read your post. I was a little confused at first by the whole idea of the LVM (rather than the simple old days partitioning...

    Partitioning an AF (4K) Drive and Ubuntu Server 10.04

    Hi guys. I had an earlier post (in General Hardware) about choosing an HD for a Linux Server. The good news is that a 1TB AF HD works in a Dell SC 420; the bad news is that I have to partition it... I know there are issues with the sector alignment. I tried using the guided partition tool...

    Home office computer with backup included

    I definitely agree with Mfenn on the points he made. Just a couple of other quick suggestions. There are services that do this -- they are fairly widespread in the States. I imagine that there are French companies that offer the same thing (if you can't get access to a US based backup...

    Need some old timers knowledge - new HDD in Dell SC420

    Thanks everyone. That was my gut feeling, but I really haven't been keeping up with hardware enough lately to have been certain on it. I noticed that when I looked at NewEgg, it seemed like a lot (if not all) of the highly ranked of the WD 1 TB drives were the new sector format (and a couple of...

    Need some old timers knowledge - new HDD in Dell SC420

    Thanks guys. We got SATA, so that shouldn't be a problem. It's just going to be a (mostly-offline) backup server -- e.g. turn on, copy files over to, and turn off, so hopefully the processor won't be too much of an issue. That being said, if I wanted to run Ubuntu on it, do you know of...

    Need some old timers knowledge - new HDD in Dell SC420

    I know that a while ago the Dell SC420 was the hot thing -- they offered those systems for a ridiculously low price. I've got an old one that I'm thinking about returning to its intended use (as a server) but wasn't sure how it would do with a new 1 TB HDD. (To give you some idea of the age...

    PayPal v. Google Checkout v. ???

    So, I'm going to be in charge of a small alumni association's finances (likely in the $100-$3000 / month range). A lot of the money that we'll be taking in will be over the Internet (e.g. tickets to a homecoming event, etc.). Obviously, making it easy on the donor/purchaser is important, as is...

    Best credit card to get for a student?

    This is good advice, but I'd go a step further and write it down somewhere. These days, a lot of college kids have iPhones/iPod Touches (and if you do, there's a great free app called "Balance" by a guy named Conner Wokamo (something like that, at least -- his name stood to me because a.)

    How to find a good medical malpractice lawyer? (Northern Virginia)

    The Martindale-Hubble reference above is legit. That means a lot. I would say that a legit attorney wouldn't take more than 33% of a final judgment amount. Anything more than that seems (in my experience, suspect). This is just my opinion -- and it may have nothing to do with reality -- if...

    first full time job + smart coworkers = me scared

    You say "it's refreshing" like you've actually experienced that bliss! I would give a LOT of money to work with people who knew what they were doing (of course, if they knew what they were doing, I would only have to work 2 hours a day...)

    So, how much cash....

    Yikes -- sounds like a crazy bank! Also, while I would like to know how much cash you have on hand, and where you live... unfortunately, I'm honest, and I don't want to steal from folks. As far as "just having this thread" -- I searched, but I couldn't find anything.... sorry :-(

    So, how much cash....

    How would you rank order state U's in WI?

    Certainly there may be better options for a young student, but as a possible employer, the only school that I would recognize on a resume is the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Of course, as long as the final degree says UW-M on it, who cares where he spent the first couple of years?

    Hit by a bat at a baseball game, does he have a case?

    Depends on what he's asking. If it's medical bills + anything he missed from work + $25 - $50K or so, I think I might be ok with it. If it's the typical "you owe me $200 million" for an accident... I have a problem with it.
