    New Cyclones.com Look

    I am impressed that they took the website from "difficult to use on iPhone" to "impossible to use on iPhone". Also, for some reason, the first time I went to it Firefox (3.0.11) completely butchered the page. The page seems a little slow, but hopefully that will be better when Ubuntu gives me...

    Google Chrome OS

    It might be nice for some people, but when it says that the web will be a big part of using the system, I just know that it's not something that I can use anytime soon. There are a lot of people (like me) who can't get decent high-speed internet. Until Qwest brings DSL to my area (which they've...

    Wild Blue Internet Provider

    I have WildBlue... On a scale of 1-10 with 1 the lowest and 10 the highest, I would rank it about -5... In my opinion, it is that bad. If you run into the bandwidth limit, it will be very slow. It is also the first internet service that has made email be painfully slow. I pretty much do all my...

    Advice Needed: Birch Trees

    So I moved into my current house about a year ago, and really now just starting to get the lawn and trees in order. About a month ago we noticed that one of the 6 Birch trees in the front were pretty much dead (no leaves, branches snap off by bending them slightly), and so we cut it down. After...

    Why I hate Apple stores

    I won't go into any Apple vs PC debate, but a solution for you is: 1.) Go online to Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar 2.) Schedule an appointment 3.) Show up for appointment 4.) Get new iPod I have done the same thing as you and waited around, but after I learned you can schedule it online, it's...

    BREAKING NEWS...Story County Courthouse being evacuated (LINK)

    When they find who caused this (hoax or not) they need to send them a bill for the lost productivity of employees, and for the cost of searching/securing the building. We (the law-abiding public) should not have to pay for some idiot somewhere to do this.

    Garage Floor Epoxy

    So I've been thinking about this for my garage floor also. What I was wondering, is if there is a problem of the expansion joints between the concrete slabs. I have lower-garage (basement) directly underneath my garage. Because of this the floor consists of huge slabs with some sort of squishy...

    Things Your Spouse Does That Puzzles You

    I'm not married, but my girlfriend (who lives with me) does that to me too. She has no idea what she "put away" or where she put it. It's very annoying when it was something important... like the bills.

    R.I.P. Pontiac

    The Camaro doesn't really compete at the high-end, but it has a much lower price. Camaro also isn't supercharged. I suppose you might argue that the GT500 competes more with the Corvette. Camaro SS2 - 6.4L 426hp $35,000+ GT500 - 5.4L 540hp - $ ???

    Alumni Association survey

    Last time they called me I asked what the money went for, and the guy in the call center said he didn't know. :confused: When his supervisor got on the phone, I was told that the money for dues doesn't really pay for anything but a calendar and those tag things they send out. :no:

    Snuggie Evolved

    Saw this new spin on the Snuggie on Digg today: "a Snuggie for babies that makes you look like some sort of mutant with a baby growing out of your chest." :biglaugh: The Baby Snuggie? | KidGlue

    Kid to skip senior season in High School to play in Europe

    He'll only have the money if he doesn't spend it first... A lot of these people don't know how to handle that type of money and spend it all.

    Shrinking with age?

    I didn't like last years poster because it was too tall for my cube wall. Couldn't see the schedule or anything at the bottom. They need to make them like the basketball poster from last year. Fits perfectly on the wall.

    speed? upload / download

    Cable internet does not have a constant "guaranteed" speed. It depends on if your neighbors are using a lot of bandwidth or not. You could try it a different day or time and see much faster speeds. But.... it also works the other way, you could get much slower speeds during the prime hours.

    Are there any other options...

    You would only want to do this if you hate yourself. 1.) Expensive 2.) High-latency (no games or VOIP) 3.) Slow 4.) Bandwidth limits (this can cause #3) 5.) Sometimes dialup is better than this I know this because I live just outside of Ames where there is no mediacom and no DSL. Tried the...

    Dogs: Invisible Fence

    Does anybody here have an invisible fence for their dog? If so, how well does it work, and what brand is it. I bought a house that had an invisible fence system already installed, but I don't really know anything about it. Currently I put my dog out on a tie-out, but think he would like the...
