    Buying a car?

    There are other sites like this, but here's one listing them as per Jan 2014. Dealer Holdback | New Car Holdback Rates | How to Figure Holdback | AutoCheatSheet.com Keep in mind, dealers have to pay interest on the car sitting on their lot, so a portion of that is to cover that cost as well...

    Best Anti-Virus options?

    Um, from Microsoft themselves... http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/security...virus-rankings The top 2 that are highly recommended are Avast and ESET. I use both Avast (Desktop) and ESET (Laptop) and both are lightweight and not annoying. I haven't used Kaspersky in several years, but when I did it...

    Need advice for creating Usenet indexer site

    These are just some examples, but for movies you'd be querying imdb.com and for TV shows thetvdb.com. You can get all the meta data for movies and tv shows from there. There are other sites as well, but these are the top 2. You'll be dealing with usenet headers, so you'll need to become familiar...

    Atlanta

    Yeah I know. I said SOME places don't have a no-smoking area, so no kids allows (he has a kid), but yea the correct description is no one under 21, his kid is 1.5, don't think the under 21 makes much of a difference for him...and Vortex specifically, which someone recommended is one of those...

    Atlanta

    Careful, in Georgia, smoking is still allowed in restaurants, so some places will not have a non-smoking area which means, no kids allowed. Vortex, which someone mentioned, being one of those. But don't worry, plenty of other better burger joints around. For breakfast, I...

    Coffee thread

    Actually it is about getting good coffee...good relative to other convenient coffees. It's sure as hell a lot better than McD or DD. BTW, so I'm a SB drinker, even at home. My preference is Dark Espresso. Anyone have any none-SB recommendations that you think I would like?

    Yup, that will be the closest decent theater to where you are staying. It's a nice area, lots of stores/restaurants around the area.

    Help identifying bug

    Either I'm unlucky, or they aren't that rare here in Georgia. I killed 2 in a home I was in about 2 years ago and then ran into another one that was hiding under the handle of a campground water spigot.

    Awesome kids toys that you play with

    Um, yeah they still exist. Maybe not at your local Toys R Us, but they still make them. I would say, hobby shops would most likely have things like that. http://www.scientificsonline.com/sci...stry-kits.html

    NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

    It's not just Heat fans...it's all sports fan down there in general. Even football has been rocky. When I lived down there I had season tickets for many years. I would say it's heartbreaking to see the people leaving before it was over, but then I lived in Miami long enough to expect this...

    C++ code/compile help

    You need to implement the constructors that you defined in you header files. Until you do that, the compiler won't even be able to create the obj to link, so you'll get errors for every symbol that it can't resolve. So, in classroom.cpp, you'll need to implement the two constructors, in...

    Wellness/Fitness Gadgets (and apps)

    For my running I use RunKeeper which lets you select the activity type and then it tracks it and uses GPS to show your route on a map. It also has social networking integration, but I've never used it. Take a look at it, might be what you are looking for. As for wireless scales, the one I use...

    Honeymoon Ideas?

    If your up for some adventure, Costa Rica is a great choice. White water rafting, canopy tours, fishing, diving, visit volcanoes, and tons of other things. Definitely a place worthy of a honeymoon. You should be able to do it within that budget. If you like diving, Ambergris Caye. All the...

    Grills

    I used to buy cheap grills...until my friend convinced me otherwise. So while I'm typically cautious when it comes to what seem like overpriced products, I can say without a doubt, FUCK YES, Webers are worth it.

    Investment Property - sell or keep?

    After paying everything, I have about $150 left over. Part of this is also my fault. I was caught up with purchasing a new house during the renewal so didn't raise their rent which is about $50-100 lower than it should be. The first year I didn't keep anything because I had to replace the AC...

    Investment Property - sell or keep?

    The first renters had to leave the country after like 2 months, so I kept their security deposit. The 2nd renter has been great. They renewed, so are on their 2nd year. They want to stay there long term, even offered to buy the place.

    Investment Property - sell or keep?

    So a house I bought about 12 years ago new and lived in is currently a rental property. I lived in it for 2 out of the last 5 years, so if I sell it I won't have to pay capital gains. I'm trying to decide whether I should keep renting it or sell it while I can avoid the capital gains. I would...

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    And so what? that means absolutely nothing. It all depends on how much each provider has a thread/connection capped at. If one is capped at 1Mb per thread and the other is 2Mb per thread, what you can do on one with 5 threads is the same as 10 threads on the other. Completely irrelevant. All...

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    Well, there ya go. If you want a faster connection you need the faster account type. They aren't slow, you just have to pay for the account/speed that you want.
