Our daughter is home for a few weeks and she noticed the leak in the backyard faucet that I've been ignoring for at least 2 years. I just put a bucket under the faucet and watered some plants in the garden when the bucket got close to full. She decided to tackle the problem and asked if I wanted to ...
My son's 2010 Mazda3 had a broken taillight - caused by an idiot hit and run driver in San Francisco. We didn't want to call the insurance company because of the high deductible ("per incident"!) so we looked on Ebay and bought a complete unit for approx $42. I've been teaching him to do s...
Replaced the condenser fan motor on our 20 year old Jenn-Air refrigerator yesterday! the fan stopped working some weeks ago - perhaps even longer. the way we discovered this was the frame around the door (aka the mullion) getting very hot and the condensate tray filling up very quickly. after readin...
My son and I repaired our dishwasher (a ~2005 Kenmore Elite) in December 2015 when the control board burned out. cost us about $75 on Ebay and we learned how to open the touch control panel and reach beneath the plastic cover to remove and replace the control board. As always, YouTube proved to be v...
we'll also be "pi-minute" and "pi-second, pi-milli-second, pi-nano-second" accurate in the PM, won't we? so technically, we won't have to wait until the year 2115 for this event to "re-occur", just 12 hours

I checked these "new" prices (unconfirmed by AMD of course) against some previously published price data (from other web sources) in Q2 and Q3-2012. Now, one might argue that the older price data was irrelevant anyway because it was all speculation. But, as others have pointed out, AMD app...
You may also want to look into NDS Surgical's Dome series of displays. Here's the link: http://ndssi.com/ex-grayscale.html The Dome E3 and Dome E2 are likely the most 'affordable' of the bunch. Also, I have previously purchased a used medical imaging (DICOM certified) display on Ebay - it worked per...
Nancy Wilson (guitarist from Heart) - Kathy's Song I've probably mentioned it previously, but Heart's "Jupiter's Darling" album (released 2004) really is an overlooked gem. IMO better than any of their studio releases from the 1980s-1990s, they ditched the slick over-produced arena rock s...
Did you try removing the dedicated card and use the integrated graphics on the CPU? vargis14's idea is exactly right. If you try that approach, you should hopefully be able to get to the 'CMOS' screens (hit Del or F2) and switch your preferred Init Display to "on board graphics" rather th...
Several scenes in the made-for-HBO film (biopic) 'Temple Grandin'. Claire Danes as Dr. Grandin delivers such a knockout performance that you'll cry at least a couple times, I guarantee it. Especially if you know a child who's autistic.
If you haven't already seen this NYTimes article about breakfast tacos and all the other wonderful restaurants in Austin, TX, you will enjoy this. Hope you can see the content at this link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/10/dining/10united.html
this is a sad sad day, not only for Mets fans but for all of baseball. Mr. Carter exemplified the very best in professional sports. 57 is far too young an age for someone so vibrant and full of good cheer to be snatched from his family's midst. Condolences to all who knew and loved him.
Thanks for running the contest, y'all! I know my son and I will burn away a few hours (much to Mom's chagrin during the holidays if we win -- but we promise to do all the grocery shopping & load/unload the dishwasher even if we win
Larry Magid. He writes for the San Jose Mercury News. Complete drivel, for the most part. The most insipid , uninspiring and inane writing I have ever seen in print anywhere. Even worse than Walter Mossberg of the WSJ.
