    Buying a cheap car in the US

    Thanks - I've slowly been figuring out that the dealers are no good for this kind of car. I've seen stuff like this: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/2989819412.html Ugly, unfasionable but should keep on running esp. with timing belt being done recently. My girlfriend has been here...

    Buying a cheap car in the US

    Seriously doubt it - haven't even started my new job yet. Going to have a chat with the bank today anyway though.

    Buying a cheap car in the US

    I've recently moved to the US and need a car quickly and I'm going to have to pay cash (no credit history). I'm looking at about $5k and most cars around that mark have done ~100k. I plan to get anything I'm considering buying checked out by a local garage but that costs about $100 so I don't...

    Anyone work in IT/Technical Support?

    My advice would be to find a small company at first. Even if you are at the bottom doing donkey work you will get so much more exposure to the more techincal stuff. It won't pay as good as a decent helpdesk job (oxymoron?) in a large company but you will get the experience to make a jump up. I...

    Taking a TV to the states...

    Could do, it's just that we have all of our packing paid for so why not take it?

    Taking a TV to the states...

    I'm struggling to find anything about whether my TV can do NTSC but I guess that doesn't really matter as I will most likely be using a STB through HDMI. Would there be any complications doing that? I figured it's the same everywhere. I already have a transformer so no need to worry about that.

    HDMI compliance standards question

    Thanks guys, - It's pretty idiot proof, it's just a box with input and output connectors and a red light. The only switch is for RGB/YPbPr. It's pretty much the Holly Hop drive. - I've tried every resolution (and refresh rate) I could think of, including HD ones. The TV works fine on...

    HDMI compliance standards question

    Ok, so we bought a VGA-HDMI converter (VGA port died and we need PC input), however it doesn't work. I tried every combination of resolutions and refresh rates but nothing. I managed to get a really low resolution (800x600 I think) on one other TV but nothing worth using. I wanted to return it...

    Etymotic Er-6i headphones dying

    One of the drivers is failing and their still under warranty so I'm consdering my options. I had a couple of pairs of Shure SE210s fail on me so I switched to these. Whilst I've been happy with the sound, which is wonderfully clear compared to the slightly muffled base heavy 210s, they weren't...

    Can an employer force me to work over the christmas holidays?

    Yep, check your contract and be really firm about saying you can't cancel it. They will probably ask everyone and then try and break the person that showed an ounce of possible flexibility.

    Am I overracting? Boots adverts

    I agree but that was my point. I know products are sold using half naked women, but there are half naked men selling aftershave too. Not as many but there are quite a few. However, there are no companies selling their entire brand on the basis that women are useless and disorganised.

    Am I overracting? Boots adverts

    This latest one really ***** me off. The constant man bashing, making men out to be pathetic and stupid. The latest one even says 'for when he's ill and you don't have time to be'. It seems to have enhanced the whole 'man-flu' thing which basically makes it socially unacceptable for men to be...

    Quad core a must for Home Theatre?

    How could it be a problem with the CPU then? I'd be interested to see the cause of this as I am planning to fit a blu-ray drive in my HTPC and I only have an HD3450 which I thought would be fine.

    You won't get charged that much, just do it in big chunks. Either that or travellers cheques?
