Forum: Almost Anything

I was just wondering if there is anyone on this board with home theater PC setup experience. I am setting one up and have run into a bit of a problem: I am new to HTPCs, but not new to PC. Recently I began to put together a simple HTPC setup and have run into some issues which I need a bit of...

Golf International Magazine is running a 5-part series entitled "The Lost Fundamentals of Hogan", by Luther Blacklock, Head Professional, Woburn Golf Club. It is tremendously interesting. I used the last of my Indigo-Chapters gift card balance to buy the October 2006 issue, which has part 3 of...

so how did my boy do? I'm thinking of investing in his next big tip, maybe 10 or 15 grand. How much have you guys been investing? what are the returns for the three stocks so far? Anyone going to buy him something nice if he doubles or triples your money for you in a short period of time? ;)

I have been noticing lately, maybe due to the increased popularity of the site, that we have been getting more viruses. Are you guys usually careful when opening links from anyone you don't know is usually on here? I just got a warning for a Trojan off one link and am just doing a scan that is...

Dan, I noticed that the member cound has gone down by over 10% Is this because you cleaned out all the 'imposters'?

Well, since Fundonny mentioned it, I thought I'd start the thread. I would guess that most of the members of this forum drink wine, at least occasionally. So, let's hear about your "picks and pans", keeping in mind of course that, as the old saying goes, "one man's trash is another man's...

FNI (First Nickel) on the TSX just reported a profitable quarter for the first time. It's a mining company in Northern Ontario and historically goes up over every winter. Buy now and sell in February. I can see a 100% return on this easily. Personally I'm putting in a large order on Monday morning....

So while I was using google earth to try and find out exactly which structure was Bank St Mazda (found it I'm OK), I came up with a great idea but I don't think I can make any money off of it. Roof top advertising! This is not advertising for cars going by but for the satellite pictures. ...

I'm just wondering if anyone could recommend a website for downloading some music , i was a member of 360 share pro , which recently crashed on me and apparently does this regularly to users :irked:(but yet they're reluctant to give you your money back !:scratchch). Anyway , if someone could...

Anyone know where I can get one? My son would like one but it seems pretty hard to get.:(

Just bought a new computer with windows xp media center. I have the option of watching TV directly on my 19" LCD monitor. The picture is not all that clear. Should I expect the same quality as my TV or better or is this sort of blurry image normal when viewing on a computer monitor. I have upgrated...

Golf is a game about staying calm and even keel. To get me in the mood while I drive to the course I listen to Andrea Bocelli. I saw his performacne on PBS earlier this year which prompted me to become a fan. Ive found he has helped with my game just cause he makes me calm. I listen to Under the...

please..

wow, I've been working out so hard and eating so much... didn't even realize how big I had gotten until I met up with a friend who used to be my size about 4 months ago. I thought maybe he got smaller but I tried to scratch my back yesterday and couldn't even reach it! I had to use a fork (I...

Who's in. We can pick a place, meet up for some drinks. Most of you won't see eachother until golf starts again right? So why not meet up for some drinks and shoot the s#$t? I was thinking Kanata but if that doesn't work we can do downtown, anyone know any good places? Indio, hacker, fundonny,...

Does anyone know of a site where I can find out the invoice prices for cars in Canada? Preferrably free site? Thanks

So as you know from my fork thread... I've been working out alot and am now actually thinking about doing lighter weights and more cardio to get more ripped and get some fast twitch and flexability back. Then a someting strange crossed my mind (like thats news). I thought what would happen if I...

Vacationing in a small southern Ontario town and went into local grocery store and the ONLY gruff words spoken by the middle aged cashier were "54.97." Went next door to buy gas and was greeted with a friendly "Hi," by a young girl with traditional religious attire covering her head, who had a...

For me it would would have to be my gold chain. My grandma gave it to me when she came to visit from india. It was worth something like $1500. I lost it at a house party, someone asked if they could see it and I said sure, they gave it back and I put it in my pocket, got drunk and never saw it...

What I have noticed this year... Toys Suck now! I have gone through countless toy sections trying to find a Nerf gun... for myself. Yes, I'm 23 years old, I work in an office, and I want a damn Nerf gun. Where are they? Has this country become so uptight that we can't allow children to fire off...

James Brown the Godfather of Soul passed away early Chrimstas Day. God Bless his soul and may he RIP. http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/2006/12/24/2986100-ap.html

I'm making two turkeys, one in the oven and one deep fried, for my side of the family's christmas dinner tonight. My step-mother-in-law is making a ham for the wife's side tomorrow. HAM???? I've never had a ham for christmas, I mean, it's HAM!

Okay, if you want the safe investment, invest in the TD Bank. If you want to take a small gamble, invest in Photochannel/PNI Digital Media (PNI on the TSX Venture). Just read about them and what they do. At .13 cents a share, I think it's a potential 6/49 stock!!! I have 25,000 shares. If you've...

:thumbsdow I was going to post this the other day and forgot. I was reminded of this today when I had to fill up with gas. Wasn't it nice of the Major Oil Companies in Canada to raise the price of gas up 15 cents a litre just in time for the Christmas travelling? I mean what a special gesture...

Sorry but I had to post this Ebay Rant. Check this auction out, it is ending soon. If people in the US do not want to deal with Canadians just say so. But check the shipping rate out for this shirt. That amount would pretty much discourage anyone from Canada putting in a bid on it. She must...

Any suggestions for good places for bringing in the New Year?

Battlestar Galactica Wow, Just Wow! I read a little bit about this show on another board that I frequent, and thought I'd give it a shot from the beginning. After watching the 4 part Mini-series, they had me. I heard about the original series, and have even seen old re-runs in syndication on...

So what was everyone's highlight of today? Did you get that driver or Scotty putter you were longing for? Perhaps that LCD or Plasma television. A trip to somewhere warmer, but really not needed so far this winter (if you can call it that :-) ). My highlight would have to be my bar fridge I...

Now we have all read that Tiger's wife is pregnant. Although we don't know if it is going to be a male or female, lets give Tiger and Ellen some names to pick from :) So, what should Tiger name his future child? (give us a male and female name or one for both) :thumbsup

I have played 100's of them but I'll give you my top 3 THis first one isn't really that good but because its one of my best friends... it was funny. As most of you know, Punjabi (the coolest kind of indians). Anyway, homosexuality is something that hasn't yet been accepted fully in our...

I was at golftown today and saw this little kid running around the putting green, hard not to notice his hair. He was skinny, had glasses and had an afro! He looked exactly like you would think jonf's 4 year old kid would look like or better yet, what he looked like at age 4! Jon, is there...
