  • Sound is never on when I turn on my TV?

    Whenever I turn on my TV, an Emerson if it matters, the sound and often the cable itself, is turned off. To get the sound back on, I have to turn the source to a different setting(i.e. HDMI 2 or video) and then switch it back. Obviously, this isn't a major problem, but it's kind of annoying. I've checked all the wires and whether they are loose and they are not. I've also tried hooking the cable into different ports and it works the same in all of them. When I change the tv to video output for videogames, the sound is fine, so I don't think it's the TV.

  • Problem with new AC Adapter?

    I have an Acer Aspire with a fairly new replacement battery and a brand new AC Adapter. I plugged in the new adapter and it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every second or so. My screen brightness is adjusted so that it is brighter when it is plugged in, so my screen is basically flashing at me. I've tried unplugging it a few times at all 3 points(the wall socket, the power brick, and the computer itself. Nothing works. It seems to keep the computer at the same power level, which is 4%. What should I do?

  • Poll: The next Generation consoles. What will you do?

    The Wii U may not be considered a "next gen" console, but it is coming around the same time as the others so I count it.

    Both the next xbox and sony consoles are considering banning used games and will almost certainly not have backwards play-ability. Knowing they are planning to screw us all in their attempt to hurt gamestop and the used games market, will you buy either one?

    I've never even played a Wii, but I'm considering going in that direction if this stuff proves to be true. How about you?

  • Lets get back to the same old argument: Abortion. What do you think about this statement?

    "Conservatives believe that abortion ends the life of an innocent child and since we believe that infanticide is wrong, we oppose abortion. Most liberals, despite what they'll tell you, believe that abortion ends the life of an innocent child, but they prefer killing the baby to inconveniencing the mother."

    Now that just makes abortion sound bad, doesn't it? Damn those evil CONS for their demands that a child is worth more than the mother's wanting to be selfish! Damn them!!!

  • Why is south park allowed to rip on jews, christians, scientologists, or any religion, except Islam?

    Because they threaten violence? Because those wacky ol' jews and christians deserve it?

    This is proof that we, in fact, do negotiate with terrorists. This is also proof that violence does solve just about anything. And best of all, this proves that Geert Wilders is right. At least in America, we can say what we want, just not without receiving the other sides opinion. In Europe, that isn't the case. And in the middle east, don't even think about it. So about that whole thing about muslims being peaceful?

  • How to connect a dvr directly to an analog tv?

    I have an older tv (a GE) and a DVR. Currently I have to use a vcr as a middle man basically. everything connected to the tv is actually connected to the vcr and runs through that. I wanted to know if I can cut out the middle man and connect the tv straight to the DVR cable box. There is only one wire that is a metal twist on. Also if anyone knows, how can you connect an xbox 360 to a DVR and make it work.

  • Is pornography something you should hide in a relationship or... (women's perspective more appreciated)?

    Is pornography/masturbation something you should hide in a relationship or is it something your partner should know about?

    I have always looked at masturbation as stress release or just something I enjoy. Would it be worse if you outright told your partner about it or wait until they catch you? (because you know it will happen eventually)

    I don't consider it cheating but some people do. It has nothing to do with my girlfriend, or whether we have enough sex. It's just something I do, and I would say most people do.

  • Okay, the NFL labor union disbanded, right? then why are they telling the rookies what to do?

    if a union disbands, why are they allowed to do anything? they don't legally exist anymore, wtf?

    Also i think its a real low move to ask rookies like mark ingram and the like that they won't be able to have their big day. This is going to be the biggest day in their lives and the nflpa wants to take it away from them. That is cheap and shouldn't be put on the rookies.

  • Remember the black discs from the playstation?

    Why did we stop using these pretty much indestructible discs when the silver ones that we've used for the ps3, Sega Dreamcast, and Xboxes mess up with only a couple scratches? Is it memory or something? The other day I played my ps2 for the first time in god knows how long, and I played two ps1 games: Ridge Racer from 1995 and Two Xtreme from 1996. They worked as well as they ever did and they're scratched to hell and back. Must be scotch-guarded or something. Why change?

    this is a sexual thing. not that i'm complaining, but it seems out of the ordinary. she has asked me about me doung it and i don't know if I;m really comfortable doing it. Also, The main reason it seems odd is because she is so young, im not telling her age but wouldn't someone need to develop into liking something like this?
