I was having trouble with my computer.
So I called Harold, the computer guy, to come over.
Harold clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.
He gave me a bill for a minimum service call.

As he was walking away, I called after him, “So, what was wrong?”
He replied, “It was an ID ten T error.”
I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, “An ID ten T Error? What’s that In case I need to fix it again?”

Harold grinned…. “Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?”

“No,” I replied.

“Write it down,” he said, “and I think you’ll figure it out.”

So I wrote it down.
I D 1 0 T

I used to like Harold..

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those
expensive double-pane energy-efficient kind.
Yesterday, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the windows had been installed a whole year ago and I hadn’t paid for them yet.
Now just because I’m blonde doesn’t mean that I,
am automatically stupid. So I told him just exactly what his fast-talking sales guy had told ME last year…namely, that in just ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!
‘Helllooooo’!!! (I told him). ‘It’s been a year’!
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.
He hasn’t called back, probably too embarrassed about forgetting the
guarantee they made me. Bet he won’t underestimate my intelligence again!!!

I want the best possible window that has the best insulation. Would you say vinyl or wood? I want the inside white. The outside is going to be white, I have white aluminum siding. This is going to be a large living room window. Any ideas of what the specs. of the window should be? Like double or triple pane? Again the insurance is paying for a good portion of it I just want the best out there. Thanks. I live in n/w Indiana and the window is on the south wall.

New warm air heat system being put in, so I’m adding central AC because the new ductwork will be going in anyway in the attic for the heat. I know all the so called “pros” are supposed to do some fancy calculations, but lets face it, in the real world, they don’t. So I was looking for some advanced knowledge so I can be armed when I talk to my installer. Can anyone give me any basic formula to go by? I think the smallest Central AC units are 1 1/2 Ton size, is that correct? So it would seem to make sense 1 1/2 Tons would be for about the smallest size house, around 700-800 square feet.
So, sorry if I repeat myself, but is there some basic freebie table where I can put in some figures and have it show the size needed so I can print it out?
Here is my situation: I’m in the northeast, Boston, Massachusetts area. Six room Ranch built on a slab/no basement, 1056 sq ft. Attic insulation R-30, ductwork insulated to R-6. Exterior walls R-6. Windows low-e glass argon gas-filled double pane. Any basic help out there? Thank ya’ much.
ethx: I should have put the words “fancy calculations” in quotation marks. I have read it is the right way to do it. What I meant was the “pros” I have spoken with, including the one doing my heat, brush it off as nothing to be bothered with, they “know” how to figure it.
So, I don’t think there is a basic answer to my basic question….is there a basic, easy formula for me to use to get a basic, rough idea of the size needed.

A blonde, a brunette and a redhead were walking along the beach. A seagull flies over and craps all over the blonde.
The brunette says in a disgusted voice, “Hang on the bathroom is just up the hill, I’ll go get some toilet paper.”
After she leaves the blonde begins to laugh.
The redhead says, “What’s so funny?”
The blonde says, “Well, blondes are supposed to be so dumb and look at her. By the time she gets back with that toilet paper that seagull will be miles away!”

Blonde adopts Russian Baby
Dustin and Jane (both blonde) were delighted when finally their long wait to adopt a baby had come to an end. The adoption center called and told them they had a wonderful Russian baby boy, and the couple took him without hesitation.
On the way home from the adoption center, they stopped by the local college so they each could enroll in night courses. After they filled out the form, the registration clerk inquired, “What ever possessed you to study Russian?”
The couple said proudly, “We just adopted a Russian baby and in a year or so he’ll start to talk. We just want to be able to understand him.”

ok i have a ads tech DVD Xpress DX2. its for video capturing from camcorders . well it does have drivers for vista and it says that it can work with vista 64bit systems but i have tried many times to get it to work . so i would like to just put xp on here and go with thatif you think that you may help me here is the directions it gives me for the drivers . thank you for your help . here my e-mail if you can help permanentink@live.com thank you again

***** Vista Driver Installation Instructions *****
**************************************************

We recommend installing Capwiz _before_ installing the unit.
This is because Capwiz 3.8.0.15 installs a necessary component
for this driver. Installing Capwiz after installing this
driver will require a second reboot to avoid errors.

NOTE ON TECH SUPPORT:
We do not provide over the phone walk through on this guide. The
procedure outlined here is complete. Technical support will refer
you to this document. Technical support can only help you with
specific issues, so if contacting tech support, please be prepared
to explain at exactly what stage you ran into a problem.

Customers who have already tried to install the WinXP driver
will find that it does not work and will have problems when
installing this new driver. Follow the steps below in order
to resolve these problems.

1)Start with the device plugged in.
2)Right-click “Computer” and select properties, then select
“Device Manager” in the left pane.
3)In Device Manager, locate “Sound Video and Game controllers”
and click the plus sign to expand the category.
4)Locate the listing for the DVD Xpress DX2 and right-click,
selecting to uninstall the device. Select to delete the
driver files as well.
5)Once uninstalled, disconnect the device from your USB.
5)Close Device Manager and then locate the file, remsvcs.reg
in the folder with these instructions. Double-click on the
file.
6)Confirm to make the changes and once they are complete, you
should reboot the system.
7)Once booted, reconnect the unit and continue with the
instructions in the second half of this document (including
the reboot at the end).

Installing for the first time

1)Click Start-> Control Panel-> System and Maintenance-> System->
Advanced System Settings-> Hardware-> Windows Update Driver
Settings. Select Ask Me Each Time I connect a new Device… and
press OK.
2)After extracting this archive, plug the DX2 into a USB port that
is directly connected to the motherboard. We strongly recommend
against using a USB hub. Note that the front ports on some PC’s
are also problematic.
3)When prompted, select to install software for the device.
4)If prompted, do not allow the system to connect to the internet
to find drivers. In some systems, this causes the drivers that
were published for Windows XP to be installed. This should not
occur and it will cause problems if it does.
5)Select to “Browse My Computer for Driver Software.”
6)Click “Let Me Pick from a list of Device Drivers.”
7)Click Have Disk and then Browse. Navigate to the folder that
contains these driver files.
8)Select dvdxpressdx2 (or any file), listed in the folder. Click
Open, then click OK, followed by Next. Once the installation
completes, restart your computer.

POST-INSTALL FOR VISTA x64 USERS

***Note that the driver cannot be installed on x64 without first
***first turning off driver signature enforcement (this must be done
***at EVERY boot if you want to use the DX2). This is a nonstandard
***configuration that is supported by neither ADS nor Microsoft and
***is therefore only recommended for expert users.

1)After installing this driver, it is necessary for Vista x64 users
to run the following command (Capwiz must already be installed in
order for this to be effective).
Open an elevated terminal by going to Start-> All Programs->
Accessories and right-clicking “command prompt” and selecting to
run as administrator.
2)Type in the following command:
WINDOWS\SysWOW64\regsvr32 /s WINDOWS\SysWOW64\musproxy.ax
This will correctly register the DirectShow filter component of
the driver in the system

jedi_of_the_white_rose asked:


I’m not even sure if ‘window latch’ is the exact object I’m looking for. I have double-hung windows. Y’know, the type where the bottom ‘pane’ can be pushed up, and the top one can be pulled down. Well, the latch that keeps the up one up is broken, and I’m trying to find another one. Keep in mind, my room is fairly high off the ground, so locking it isn’t too much of an issue. The problem is, I’m not sure what to look for when I go to the hardware store. A little help would be appreciated a lot.

KD asked:


I dread checking my e-mail now, because that handy-dandy little quick-read pane on the bottom of the inbox is now mysteriously gone. I have NO idea why, and it’s really, really bothersome. That way, I could just scroll through my messages and see what they had to say right away. Now, I have to manually double click on each and every message to read them, and it’s so not worth it. Especially when you get a ton of messages a day, like I do. I loathe it. Anyways, could anyone help me figure out how I can get that lovely window on the bottom of the inbox back? I miss it immensely, and I can’t find an option to turn it back on. D: Help!
