    OT Ad Busters, Popup Stopper Etc...Recommendations Plez!

    glad popupstopper helped :) search and destroy just cleans out the registry and erases spyware and adware that contribute to the popups. It doesnt run like a service so you have to execute it like a program. i usually run it once a week, you'd be surprised the crap it finds and who's tracking...

    Well I got back from Aruba about 2 am this morning. All I can say is what an awesome vacation. Did some amazing snorkeling and SNUBA! Best $30 I ever spent. SNUBA'd a german shipwreck from WW2 called the Antilla. Once my pics are developed i'll try and get them up on here. Saw some sweet fish...

    OT: Leaving from Aruba on Friday!

    I asked back in March about Scuba Diving there, unfortunately I didnt have the time or the money to spend on that. I'm planning on doing a lot of snorkeling though and was wondering where people went for that, which companies were good and how much to expect to pay? also looking for some good...

    Hose clamp question

    I had some stainless steel ones near my sump that corroded just from the salt evaporation. DIdnt have any problems with the water quality, however you might want to get some plastic zip ties. depending on how tight you need the seal, that might be all you need.

    OT: DSL vs Cable Modem??

    Thanks for all the opinions guys! I believe I am going to try DSL (you get 30 days to decide), if all goes well i'll probably stick with it. If I had originally gotten comcast cable tv i'd go with the cable modem no questions, but i have to have my NFL sunday ticket and ESPN college basketball...

    OT: DSL vs Cable Modem??

    hhands : I'm a computer guy so I know the technology. Believe me comcast help desk hates getting a call from me. They seem to think that losing your IP address every 5 minutes is acceptable. Just dont wanna repeat the same mess with Verizon. thanks for all the input so far

    OT: DSL vs Cable Modem??

    Ahh what a hard choice! I would get cable no matter what but I have DirecTv and that uses the cable lines in my house. Comcast would have to run another line into my house and at $65/month for non-current users i'm not sure thats cost effective. :eek: I even looked into DirecWay through the...

    OT: DSL vs Cable Modem??

    I figure i can get a lot of different experiences here on the board. I need a little advice before I decide which service to get at my house. My parents currently have a comcast cable modem. Its great when it works, but so far in the 6 months they've had it i've been on the phone with tech...

    OT: The National Champions will be ...

    Its pretty glum in UK circles right now. As you know Kentucky fans expect perfection and now there are rumors Tubby Smith is headed to the NBA becuase he didnt get enough support from the fans and alums. I hope he doesnt leave, he took some getting used to but I like him a lot now, dont want...

    Well I'm still in denial that Kentucky lost, but I'd have to root for their victors, so go Marquette. There's no joy in Big Blue Nation right now :(

    OT any home theater buffs? I need help

    yeah definitely dont mix and match speakers, especially ones with different Ohm ratings. it can do damage to the receiver, and if you have really good ears, the sound quality probably wont match. an mtx sub under your couch would be cool though :eek:
