Pay off credit cards, or downpayment on a home?

I was kinda' thinking the same thing. Use what I would call the creditboards approach. You paid off one card already, so you can't truly pull a creditboards scheme. Pay the minimum on those remaining cards until you get your house. At that time, you might convince yourself that you don't need...

Post your computer cable wiring

If you don't mind cutting cable, maybe you could make your power supply modular in your own way. I can't stand that extra crap that you're talking about, so I'll open 'em up and cut it all out. This first pic has nothing to do with making a PSU modular; just something I got the urge to do...

Radio Shack has magnets.

Sad book

It won't make you cry, but a good book for you right now would be Beach Music by Pat Conroy. Don't let the fact that he also did The Lords of Discipline and The Great Santini scare you away.

Quake 4 just Freezes

I'd be curious as to how you are enabling and disabling your SMP support. When I first started using the 1.05 (beta) my system would freeze when I enabled SMP support through the console. Once I created my own AutoExec.cfg and entered the SMP commands there, the problem immediately and...

Tried to burn a DVD in Win XP...

There is no way around it. XP simply does not support DVD burning as a function of XP. I would have thought that your -712A would have shipped with PlexTools Professional. Freeware DVD burning? Don't know anything about that. Sorry.

Can I play Quake 4 without the DVD?

As an alternative to a no-cd patch, you could just download the v. 1.0.4 patch. Or even the v. 1.0.5 beta. They remove the need for a CD.

Q: What was the last CD you bought?

Are they searching for a Cord or a Chord? That's good stuff. I really like that Departure/Ride My See-Saw combo (tracks 1 + 2). Cranked it when my father had the LP and now on my CD. Last CD? Oddly enough Gordon Lightfoot: Complete Greatest Hits just last week.

DWI / DUI What is your experience?

I guess challenging a machine's calibration is where the 1800 or 2000 bucks for your lawyer comes in. When I was stationed over in Jacksonville NC I used to have to go to court with my guys whenever they got in trouble. Two of these guys got busted for DUI or DWI at different times. They each...

Karen Carpenter

Where was her brother? It's not often heard, but shortly before her death he did release a single as a tribute to her. I think it was titled "She Ain't Heavy, She's My Sister".

If you were forced to be a driver for a living...

If you get into conversation with someone who insists that cross country semi- driving is good money and you continue the conversation long enough, you will find that they count their money and their time a lot different than most of us do. There's obviously nothing to it. Hell, even an...

Banks cash checks in descending order?

I'm all about personal responsibility, but at the same time I have to say that it's a sorry bank that has a cutoff time for in-person cash deposits. At the very least, that deposit should have posted at midnight with debits posting immediately afterwards.

Banks cash checks in descending order?

The danger in typing slow is that there can be five posts between my start and stop. She brought in a check and deposited it in an effort to cover all debits and it missed the cutoff time? That makes a lot more sense than if she had brought in cash. The green kind of cash.

Banks cash checks in descending order?

I've never heard of this. Seems to me that doing it in one particular order is no more "fair" than doing it in the opposite order. Either there is money in an account to cover all checks written or there is not. I've never heard of a cutoff time for crediting an in-person cash deposit to...

Camera

Surely almost none of us actually need a 7 mp camera. There sure are a lot of us that want them, though. A camera from TigerDirect? Whoever heard of such a thing? In any case, you might look at that page and choose what looks good to you and then check it out at dpreview. Check out the...
