Can I use a different receiver for a pre-set speaker setup?
I'm interested in buying a Bose Acoustimass 5 Series II, but just the speakers themselves without the subwoofer and receiver. I already have my own subwoofer and receiver setup. I was wondering if they speakers would work hooked up to a different receiver. My receiver is a Harmon Kardon brand.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!
3 AnswersHome Theater8 years agoNo growth spurt.. at all. Same height for the past 5-6 years.?
I'm 18 years old now. 5'4" and 160lbs. A couple of years ago I was at 140lbs but I started working out even more with my friends. Eventually, I gave that up and got fat. Went from like 145lb fit to 160lb with some fat due to high school's open campus. So basically had fast food 5 days a week but I'm not like obese big.. my upperbody is quite normal. I can wear a size small shirt to be like a perfect fit but my man boobs sorta show. Medium would be loose fit for me. My thighs are huge. I wear size 32x30 pants. My mom is about 5' and my father is 5'6" about.
On to the growth spurt, I've been 5'4" since I was 13. My friend is only 14 at the moment and he spurt from like 5'3" to 5'9" and he went from being the fat chubby kid to a tall slim person.. I'm so jealous. Could losing weight be a factor in getting a growth spurt? I don't really exercise. I'm a waiter at a restaurant and the past few weeks I've been going on 1mile runs/jogs with no weight loss. I feel sleep might be a factor as well because I don't really get 8 hours EVERY night. Maybe like 1-2 nights a week I would. Sometimes I'll sleep at 2-3 and wake up at 8AM for school.
4 AnswersMen's Health9 years agoXBOX 360 Family Setting Block?
So I just reset my 360 by doing the System Settings>Console Settings>System Info, and entered in the codes. I turned off the Family Settings, I went to my Hulu Plus blade, loaded it up, and it still says "This content is blocked by Family Settings." I recently got hacked on my Parent account and the password was changed. I can't get the password back because I made the email years ago so I don't remember any of the information required to acquire a password reset.
How can I reset the Family account's email or password? Or just redo it and make it so I don't need a parent's account. Thanks in advance.
2 AnswersXbox10 years agoCan this person sue me for something that was out of my reach?
Notes: I own a restaurant. We get plenty of orders of soup for togo and have never had a problem, if a customer accidentally spilled their soup then sure we'll replace it free of charge. Also I feel this isn't my problem because it isn't in the restaurant, but just curious to be ready or not.
Story:
A normal customer orders a soup for togo, and of course the soup is very hot as it was just cooked.. it's in a plastic bag along with the soup contents. They took it out of the restaurant, out of the plaza, and out to the road on their own. The customer comes back and says "my daughter was holding your soup on her lap and it spilled all over her and now she's in the hospital." then took our business card and left.
Can they sue me? Thanks in advance.
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics10 years agoCan I take Level 2 (II) Traffic School online?
I was issued to attend "TS II - 12 hr. Traffic school ordered as an enhancement, no dismissal".
The court never mentioned anything about doing it online nor in-class, all they said was to take L2 traffic school. I would call and ask them buy they're only open Monday - Friday. Today is Saturday, and if anyone that works with law or court or something similar can verify so. I can get started as soon as possible to clear my record. Thanks in advance.
More information: I'm in the San Diego County of California in the Kearny Mesa Branch.
1 AnswerLaw Enforcement & Police10 years agoWireless Internet Question?
Okay so I hooked up my wireless router thing(LinkSys Wireless-G) to my internet modem (DSL), I have a wireless USB flash drive along with the router, so I plug the USB into another computer that has no internet connection (no ethernet no phone line), and look for my connection. Once I find it, I have excellent signal strength, but once I connect even though it's still at excellent signal strength, it tells me Limited or No Connectivity. So I try to reset my router, modem, the program, and my computers. None of which helped.. I've tried to select the repair option, but it tells me it can't repair something but still doesn't work.
How could I fix the "Limited or No Connectivity" status to get it working to "Excellent" signal strength? Thanks In Advance.
2 AnswersOther - Internet1 decade agoNeed help deciding my 16th birthday!?
I'm turning 16, male, budget around $250, and just a few friends.
So the choices are
1. Ice Skating Rink($9 per person) + Mall + Food Court(Buy your own food) (10 Friends)
- I think this is good but mall=spend money... plus there's not even an arcade but it's cheap for ice skating.
2. Stone (Beer Company)'s Restaurant + Really nice landscaping and views (5 Friends)
-Sounds good but the fun only lasts for 2-3 hours and less friends=less gifts.
3. Boomers (Has an arcade, foot court, and unlimited rides/games for everyone) (10 Friends)
-I think this is best, we pay one price for all the rides, a few bucks on coins for arcade, buy food on everyone's own, and more rides!
4. At home + Karaoke + Food + Home made games
-Lasts more than 10 hours, everyone is invited, not much money is spent(home made food), I get more gifts, and everyone usually has a blast.
Give me a 1st pick and a 2nd, please (: Thanks guys!

3 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoHow do I install a network driver?
Someone told me I had to go to some website? But how do I go to a website if I don't have the internet driver. So I just reformatted my laptop, and I looked some stuff up and it said go to Device Manager, and right click on Network Adapters > Properties > Driver Tab.

So I just reformatted my laptop, it's a HP Pavilion dv2000.
Everything is good, except that it's missing the wireless icon in the bottom right corner near the clock.

I went into the Device Manager, and under Network Adapters it only shows a "1394 Net Adapter".
How do I get the wireless back? Thanks in advance.
4 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoReformatting Windows XP problem while formatting. Help!?
I got passed the part where you select the partition drive, and I deleted everything from the 2 partitions. So I got up to about 56% and it says it can't copy a certain file, and it gives me the option to Skip(ESC) , Retry(ENTER), or Quit Setup(F3). I've tried skipping, it skips but later on it tells me the same thing to many many more files such as .dll .sys .inf etc.. I've tried Retry, and it asks the same thing. Quiting the setup just restarts the whole process.
So my question is, what's wrong? Is it my Windows XP CD or is it the computer? and does anyone know what to do to fix it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1 AnswerMusic & Music Players1 decade agoOpinion on shoes for grip. Parkour.?
I'm thinking about buying some shoes that have good grip, and look good.
I saw a little booklet from SFC(Shoes for crews), it's made for restaurant kitchen workers so they don't slip on water or oil. I'm thinking about buying the SFC Nitro for $46.
I also checked out the Stealth rubber thing for Parkour, and the brand five-ten. I would get shoes from them but they're a bit more expensive, $90.
Has anyone ever bought any shoes from either of these companies? If so let me know what you think about them. If not, how about a penny for your thoughts? Thanks.
