  1. close exit and fill, an alternative to suck start on Homebrew Air Conditioning for Under $25 · · Score: 1

    Back in college when we used to fill a kiddie pool in the yard with hot water from upstairs using this gravity feed method, rather than suck starting it, we would crimp the low end of the hose and pitcher water in at the high end to get it started.

    Regarding POTS handsets, how does full duplex on one circuit work?

  3. Requires Flash on Yahoo Turns 10; Free Ice Cream for America · · Score: 1

    After you submit your information (city, e-mail, age, and birthdate) the site seems to require Flash to give you the coupon. So I tabled my Firefox and loaded the site in my IE (for which I have Flash 7 installed), afterwhich I encountered two bugs in the presentation of the Flash coupon. (1) It flashed to the screen and immediately redirected back to the first page of the coupon process; navigating back with the browser reproduced the coupon flash and immediate redirect, but I was able to keep the coupon on the screen by disabling my ethernet before navigating back. (2) The send to local printer link within the Flash coupon brought up my print dialogues but then the job hung at my printer windows print queue; maybe I just needed to reset my printer, but I didn't test the Flash print again, and rather printed a screen grab of the Flash coupon after resetting the printer. Were these bugs due to peculiarities of my installations or be they slyly-crafted winks from Yahoo at the blight of Flash? Come on ice cream.

    For Windows users, Windows will easily bring up such an image on the desktop; it's under Display Properties, Background, Pattern, 50% Gray, (at least under Win2k).

  5. Re:I've been using mine for around 7 months on What's the Point of Building a Home Theater PC? · · Score: 1

    What does the modified driver for your Guillemot soundcard do? I have a Guillemot/Hercules Fortissimo III connected optically to my receiver, and I've been a bit frustrated by it's refusal to mix SPDIF from my DVD drive with Windows audio out the SPDIF (it's one or the other, exclusively, with reboots, on their latest driver).
