    WTF am I doing wrong with my HTML tags?

    I remember having the same problem last time I wanted to add html to an auction. It'd been a while I'd listed something so I wasn't aware of the change. Now when you go to the screen where you start entering information for selling an item you can choose "keep it simple" or "customize your...

    Nerds

    I fix whatever my wife breaks. I used to be more of a computer/technology geek but I've quit following it so closely now that I've got kids and a house. I have a manufacturing engineering degree, I think by default any engineer no matter what field ends up being a little bit of a geek.

    Extracting audio from .mpg

    At some point I was able to do this with some creative use of the sound recorder, volume control and windows media player. I can't remember what I did exactly but I remember I didn't use any cables. I used to have a really cool .wav editor that came with a soundblaster card like 15 years ago...

    USB turntables

    I think the preamp level of a phono is different than the preamp level of your line in... I'd run the phono out to the phono in on a receiver then from the line out on the receiver to the line in on the sound card. I'm not going to guarantee my method is better, but I think you may get a little...

    which camera of these two is better?

    Sony makes some nice stuff, generally the nice stuff falls in the low end consumer market and generally it costs a little more than the other low end consumer stuff. If you're looking for something besides low end consumer stuff you can in most cases do better. Do your own research and decide...

    Laggy wireless keyboard?

    Is there some kind of a channel a/b switch? Do you have a line of sight between your keyboard and the receiver? I'd try moving some things around and see if it get's better, RF interference is really weird, I worked at a company that specialized in RF equipement and they didn't even understand...

    Considering a new place to live.

    I moved from San Diego to Portland about 8 months ago and I'm pretty happy with the decision. The rain hasn't been as bad as everyone said it would be, but I've only seen the tail end of one winter season so far. Traffic in Portland is just like anywhere else, on Friday evenings it's worse...

    FTP help

    I've actually been pretty happy just using windows explorer (not internet explorer) just type ftp://yourwebsite.com into the address bar and fill in your user name and password in the popup then drag and drop just like you were moving files on a local drive. I've always had pretty...

    How can I make IE not display a given website?

    Content aside, I wouldn't let some homeless kid come into my home and have unlimited access to my computer. With thousands of family photos (backed up on an internal drive) information from tax returns for the last several years, personal emails and everything else the last thing I want is...

    Vista. How reliable?

    Holy cow that was fast shipping. Did you pay extra for overnight or do they have some kind of deal where they upgrade your shipping for orders over a certain dollar amount? New keyboards always make me feel all warm and fuzzy too, until I realize I like my old Microsoft natural better.

    Building up a New Computer fr my Kids to use

    Yeah, I put it in a system I built 4 years ago, even then it was spanking a lot of the low end Radeon and GeForce FX cards. Supposedly the 64mb card was faster than the 128mb I have and the real hardcore guys stepped up to the Ti 4600. I've kind of gotten out of the whole computer thing over...

    Building up a New Computer fr my Kids to use

    Do your kids already have a PS2 or Xbox? For what kids would do most I think a game system would be a lot more fun and a lot less hassle than an old computer like you're looking at. On the other hand if your kids already have a game console and you just want something they can use to learn...

    Headunits. 2V, 4V, 6V pre-amp RCA outs... why the difference? worth it?

    There's splitting hairs and there's a hair cut. I think you'd be able to hear the difference between a $160 speaker and a $60 speaker even in a car, I don't think you'd hear the difference between a $160 speaker and a $500 speaker though, even between a $120 speaker and a $160 speaker there...

    Flash player problem

    Do you have a firewall or antivirus software that is blocking the Flash player? Have you recently updated your security software, sometimes that can tweak the allowed programs list and you'll have to manually add programs back in.

    MBA builds a custom "DH Race" bike

    A few people actually prefer a 6" rotor on the rear, I guess some people feel like an 8" rotor locks up the wheel too easily and results in a loss of control. Personally I like not having to death grip the brakes to stop, but I'm not like everyone out there. 6" on the rear isn't uncommon, even...

    Wood Stuff / Man made.

    The wood in that picture serves no purpose unless that grass is an endangered species. The photgraph was post processed too much, the coloring looks artificial, not really my thing but hey, my definition of art can be very different than yours.

    Ultimate setup for bb7 lever feel / power

    run the fixed pad as close to the rotor as you can and if you use speed dial levers run the dial as far out as it will go (lowest leverage/most pull.) I've never experimented with different cables and housings, I like a soft feel anyway though, like the power assisted brakes on my car.

    Our desktop turned sideways!

    I had a viewsonic monitor that would rotate like that, all you had to do was grab one corner and push up on it and the monitor would rotate on the base. I'm assuming that's what happened to you but there must be some kind of latch on your monitor that keeps it in place, maybe look for an owners...

    So I have dirt on my sensor

    I used to work for a place that manufactured video cameras, we'd clean the image sensors with a plain ol' q-tip and isopropyl alcohol during assembly. I was pretty shocked when one of the other engineers licked a sensor then rubbed it on his shirt to clean it, he'd been working with the sensors...
