  1. If the door shuts nice it doesn't matter. Since you did so much to your home already, you also must know how to trim a door. If it shuts nice, but the door opening is off square, then use trim to hide the gaps. Btw, doors from lowes, menards, and others are not high quality doors. They'll only last about 10 to 15 years. If you want to get a door that will last the lifetime of the house, you'll have to pay that extra cost. The way I know this is because my father is a carpenter and he gets most of his business from new homes with retail bought doors that started rotting and leaking. And don't count on them standing up to a good kick. The default deadbolt space on the door will only withstand a couple hundred pounds. So if a big guy wants to get in, he will. I've seen the aftermath. The deadbolt bent the door open, but did nothing to the wall, allowing the door to open. Kind of like this
  2. Just make sure you know how to properly water-proof the door. Water can get underneath the footstep and rot the wood if you don't do it right. And make sure you have an extra pair of hands, its hard to get the level right when you're hammering shims without anybody holding the door up.

    If anybody can figure out this I'll be amazed. Using De Morgan's theorem simplify this Boolean Algebraic equation. ______ _____ ____ ___ __ _ ABCDEF De Morgan's theorem = __ _ _ AB=A+B Which translates into ______ ABCDEF _____ ABCDEF ____ ABCDEF ___ ABCDEF __ ABCDEF _ ABCDEF
  5. I can get my 3G connection on my phone to tether with the wifi, turning my Android G1 phone into an internet hot spot. What I want to do is get internet connection where ever I go. But I cant do that without the ad hoc enabled because it would be a computer-to-computer connection. What I cant figure out is why they disabled it, what kind of threat does an ad hoc network give? The only thing I can think of is most of them are unsecured.
  6. What's funny is that I'm a computer networking major, and they disabled a LOT of networking options. I think its time to talk to my IT department.....
  7. There is a setting in windows where you can switch between the two. I was able to do so on discom's laptop. But this school laptop will not let me change it to ad hoc only. Is there any way around this? Like a registry value? Executable?
  8. I just got a school computer to use for 4 months but I think the system admin put a block against an ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network. When I try to tell my wireless card to connect to both ad hoc and open wifi, the setting will not connect. Is there another way to do it? It may be a registry setting, it may not. I tried using applications that use it but they wont use the feature unless the feature is enabled. Any ideas on how to enable it?
  9. i'm looking for a sound card for music and gaming. the only thing thats going to be plugged into it will be my headphones.
  10. I guess a good sound card could would be the best for me. Do you have any reccomendations for a good sound card under $100?
  11. The amp is really a stereo. the 200 watts go to two subs and two speakers. so the amp wont blow my eardrums out. the reason i think i'll need an amp is because i looked at sound comparisons of audio coming from the speaker with both amped and non-amped streams. the audio quality is better because of the high 50 ohm resistance. i wont be using the sound card or amp for volume. i just want the best setup for sound quality. which everywhere i look it says the quality is better with an amp.
  12. I'm looking to buy a good pair of headphones. I'm 90% sure I'll be getting the sennheiser HD595 headphones. Everybody said that they have a good range of sound. But they also said that I could get better sound if you get an amplifier. My question to you guys is, what's a good sound card to get that also acts like an amplifier? I do have a stereo with a 200 watt amp powering 2 speakers, but its over 15 years old and its tired.
  13. Don't fight it, just accept it.
  14. 325.5 bhp (330 PS) @ 5400 rpm 346.6 lb-ft. @ 3400 rpm Are you serious? haha good thing you have all wheel drive.
  15. Its going to my supervisor's superior. She is the one who doesn't know what she's doing. And yes, I think not much will change. I just want to tell her what she is doing wrong as many ways I can before I put in my two weeks.
  16. I know somebody has one in their garage that they don't use anymore. I have a 9 or 10 foot hammock.
  17. More awesome ideas! Unclean thanks for mentioning that thing about the call back. Whats funny is that in the twin cities market, the internet and phone tech support cannot make outbound calls unless our LOQ (Line Of Questioning) program tells us to. Which is the PERFECT thing to put in my recommendation. I have had people do the same thing to me. But I couldn't call them back, and we lost a customer. And the documentation thing, that is also a BIG problem. I could totally screw your situation up, but if I make a sale, I'll get praised. Another good recommendation. Keep them coming.
  18. So they automaticaly think you don't know anything about technology? Or were they just rude?.
