How to use a cell phone as a wireless modem?
kanasfarmer - yeah, wild blue is what I'm trying to avoid. I take it that the cell booster worked for you? And that wild blue is better? Thanks. -

How to use a cell phone as a wireless modem?
This is a pretty smart crew around here so I thought I'd let ya'll give this a go. I'm moving to the country - can't wait, but... no DSL and spotty/weak cell reception. I have a two-part question, actually. First, does anyone have any experience/knowledge as to how well external cell phone... -

Building a PC for internet portal
I appreciate the responses. First - The virus that that me did not come from a porn site, rather a church website - go figure. Second, I have/had Symantec AV running along with AdWare - didn't help. My issue with AV software is sorting thru what's good and what's no so good. I look at the... -

Building a PC for internet portal
I just had my second fairly expensive computer eaten by a virus. I'm not incredibly computer savvy, but I limp along and am going to try to restore that system w/o losing all the data on it. If I can do that, I'm unplugging it from the net and getting another system to be used strictly for... -

German Shepherd Dogs
Well, I'm just getting in to read these last few posts this evening. I kinda thought this thread had died. What a difference a day makes. We had decided to move forward with a young, male GSD when we found a Ridgeback/Chocolate Lab mix at another shelter. This puppy is only about six weeks old... -

German Shepherd Dogs
Thanks all. The wife located a local rescue GSD last night. I'm going to try to check him out this week. -

German Shepherd Dogs
My family has had two Great Danes in the past (both of who are now in doggie Heaven). We currently have to mixed breeds, one of which is a GSD mix - she is on the smallish side. We have been looking hard at getting another dog, partly for protection when I'm away (not very often). I was... -

Lifestyles of the Flashaholics...
Okay, here's a good litmus test for lifestyles. Do you do your own mechanic or carpenter work? I still do my own oil changes even though it would probably be cheaper to go down to the Quickie Lube. But I don't trust those folks. This weekend I had to replace the water pump on the '89 Blazer... -

Lifestyles of the Flashaholics...
SaVaGe's thread on "wealthy" CPF'ers got me wondering what sorts of lifestyles those here live. I'm curious. I'm betting we have everything from high school aged teens spending nearly every dime of income on lights and at the other end of the spectrum we have highly successful business owners... -

WEALTHY CPF MEMBERS
I feel the OP's pain... I just hit 40 this year. I have two young kids. Every time I buy a light or firearm (my two big weaknesses) I wonder if I should be putting those funds into a college fund.... While I am sometimes a bit envious of some of the lights folks around here have (Defabricata... -

Opinions on Handi-Rifle?
What Big Iron said. I'm two years in to my .243. Got it for $200 and it will put in one ragged hole at 100 yards. Trigger is heavy ~8 pounds. It's my go-to rig. Mainly I like the simplicity of the single shot. Will probably score a barrel in .308 this summer. -

I need help helping an overweight friend, please
My .02 is to try and make sure he understands that you are discussing this with him out of concern and not just to be critical. A soft approach is needed. He knows he is overweight so pointing that out will not be all that productive. Also, he's probably a smart guy who knows the formula for... -

The best workboots?!
I think you just answered your own question - Red Wings. I'm eyeballing the Compressors as I speak. -

Syncing Outlook contacts into cell phone
I just got into a new cell phone yesterday. It's a basic phone (Sanyo SCP-7050). I have 400+ contacts stored in Outlook. I've looked at various software that purports to be able to dump my contacts into my address book. The most attractive software I've located thus far is something called... -

Sold my car, bought a bike
I would be a bit concerned about the lower profile of a recumbent; both in terms of being seen by motorists and being able to see. I am very sympathetic to bikers in general and was tempted to do it myself when I lived 6 miles from work (I now live 35 miles away). But competing for space with... -

Fix for a flu that just won't go away?
Re: Fix for a flu that just won\'t go away? Go to your health food store and get some echinasia (sp?) extract. I start taking hits of this stuff any time I feel a cold coming on. I have two small children who are constantly trying to make me sick but this stuff augments the immune system and...
