Gas Mileage Issues

If you haven't done so, go to autozone or advanced auto parts and get them to do a free reading with their OBD reader. Even if the check engine light is off, there might still be a code in the memory. But yeah like someone already pointed out, the gas gauge might not be perfectly linear...

What's needed for widescreen/HD skype video calls?

@lifted - wow yeah that looks very cool but definitely a bit out of my intended price range. @rebel - it looks like Skype was trying to push their "HD" spec where the webcam has embedded encoding capability to offload from CPU. BUT I agree, it sounds like I already have everything I need, even...

Need help finding a custom firebird plate

Oh ok... I didn't see an exact match though, and plus as you can see, my original plate is banged up pretty bad. I could get a blank black plate, but it wouldn't be the same. It's hard to tell in those photos, but the original had the firebird cut out of the black plate, which is lined with...

How to batch import photos into Powerpoint?

Okay, so I have hundreds of photos that need to be imported into Powerpoint files, with one photo/slide and the file name as each slide's title or caption. I've googled and researched my butt off but there doesn't seem to be a solution. The closest thing is the "photo album" function under...

dolby prologic II for Promedia 4.1

btw do you know where I can longer speaker wires for my promedia? It uses the unorthodox 1/8 inch plug + regular speaker plug combo. Probably need 50ft for the rear channels

dolby prologic II for Promedia 4.1

I like stereo as is too, it's just more fun to have a little surround when people are over. And I actually think prologic II is half way decent - at least much, much better than prologic. It's especially good with hip-hop or R&B, with lots of surprisingly good rear channel result. I...

dolby prologic II for Promedia 4.1

I already have the Klipsch DD-5.1 preamp/decoder. Of course, Klipsch got cheap and left out Prologic II decoding. Just want to have decent surround for two-channel materials (CD, mp3s, even movies if no ac3/dts). any ideas?
