    Switched at Birth's Inaccuracies?

    Do you guys think that her faking a "deaf accent" is offensive? I would be offended if an asian actor had to fake an "asian accent". Then again, there is enough "asian accent" stereotype going around that people are familiar with it, unlike deaf speech which is not as well known. Still, it...

    Oh My!....what's that smell?

    ... ok, about farting in the bathroom: Don't you feel super self-conscious letting it rip in a bathroom stall? Also, the air flow in most public bathrooms doesn't seem so great.. Wouldn't the fart be better if it is let it out somewhere with better airflow and bigger space?

    Oh My!....what's that smell?

    This is why crop dusting is fantastic. No evidence, no shame!

    New Graphics Card Solution?

    ...ok... even more bizarre.. I plugged my monitor into a different computer using DVI: Display Since my desktop was already on right next to where I was, I tried plugging in the DVI cable into my computer: Display! So... now there is no problem... I wish I could know what I was doing wrong...

    New Graphics Card Solution?

    Ah dear.. Unfortunately, it looks like there's more to this problem than a faulty graphics card. I hooked up my computer to a different monitor, and it was able to display with no problems... let me just list everything I did to troubleshoot this issue: 1. connecting my computer to my monitor...

    What is it about the MSI card that makes you choose that one over the other one?

    New Graphics Card Solution?

    Yes, this is what this machine was intended for initially. My budget was about $1200. But I built this machine in 2008, so of course.. it's not really that amazing anymore 8) but it still does what I need from it. (photoshop, light video editing, starcraft 2) But the problem is not that...

    New Graphics Card Solution?

    I don't think power will be an issue. I replaced the power supply only a couple years ago with the assumption that I was building a gaming rig. I was thinking SLI because the card seems to be working... it will output to HDMI, but it won't display anything from VGA or DVI. My initial thought...

    New Graphics Card Solution?

    It looks like my graphics card went kaput, but I don't know what card I should buy to replace it. This is my old card: http://i.imgur.com/8glkhl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wL5Eql.jpg This is its listing from Newegg Newegg.com - ASUS EN9500GT/DI/1GD2/V2/A GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI...

    Watch for Hurrricane Sandy on East Coast

    Well, blizzards don't cause a high tide surge and move houses by their foundations. They just knock down trees and time to time collapse older buildings.

    What Sandy did to New Jersey

    There was some discussion about making it law that all gas stations come with a backup generator like they have it in Florida, Buono calls for gas stations to be equipped with generators | Politicker NJ but the estimated cost is quite high. Insight: After Sandy, Big Oil's pumps fail motorists...

    What Sandy did to New Jersey

    It's because Hoboken is only 15-20 minutes away from Manhattan, but costs far less than there to have property. There are a lot of young couples with babies in Hoboken where one or both parents work in NYC.

    Implants for deaf people are miraculous

    I still hope he will learn some sign language, in case he is ever stuck in a power out for more than the battery life of his aids. Her usage of he word "miracle" kind of irks me but I don't think it was her intention.

    What Sandy did to New Jersey

    I went to Hoboken yesterday. It looked like much of the effects of Sandy were cleared. Many basements flooded and as for the belongings inside the basements... Much of it is ruined and put out on the side of the curb for garbage pickup. A police car sits under a tree with a broken...

    Should we move Thanksgiving (US) to January!

    But after your family has that big thanksgiving dinner, they could all go out into the fields and help you around the fields. Free manpower for a free dinner!

    Could you please translate these sentences ?

    You should try to write it down yourself first, and then ask for corrections. Show some self-effort!

    Watch for Hurrricane Sandy on East Coast

    I guess I may have no class in Hoboken for the rest of this week. I'll use this time to clean my disorganized room...!

    Poor parenting!!!

    I would've jumped in after him if I was the parent, but I don't think that would've made a spit of difference in the kid's doom.

    Should we move Thanksgiving (US) to January!

    it's hopeless trying to move thanksgiving just because stores market Christmas stuff very early on. I know around me, the supermarket were already selling wreaths and tinsel right next to the Halloween candy in September. The bigger problem here is the habits of the consumer. Stop buying...
