  • Help me find Andromeda galaxy in the sky?

    Hello. I just got a pair of 70mm Astronomy Binoculars in the sky. I have been using google sky map on my phone to pinpoint a few objects that are familiar to me. So far tonight I have found the Orion nebula, Jupiter and 3 of its moons, Saturn, And a few stunning stars such as Sirius. But as always, The center of the Milkyway and Andromeda elude me. I am in Northern Virginia just about an hour West of Washington DC. It is currently 11 PM. Where in the sky would Andromeda and the center of the milky way be located? Light pollution is kind of bad here so If you can determine at what time it would be located about 20-25 degrees above the southern or western horizon, That would give me my best shot at seeing them. Also if you could guide me to any other visible sightings that can be seen with 25x70 Binoculars in poor light conditions that would be great!

    Thanks in advance!

  • Bad credit auto loans, down payment vs credit history?

    I have less than perfect credit, Thousands in medical bills and I had a repo almost 7 years ago. I am at the point now that I need to buy a new car. It has been my experience in the past that the lower your credit score and income, The higher the down payment required will be. I have been told in the past that because of my credit that i would be looking at having to put close to or maybe even more than 50% down on a used car purchase. That is just insane because if I had 50% to put down In all honesty I would just buy a car cash instead of having to deal with a bank altogether. But it had me thinking, I have shopped around off an on over the last year and I see a cycle occurring everytime I look into financing. It appears that banks and loan sharks are using some sort of formula to determine how much of a down payment and what your interest rates will be when you have bad credit. It is a form of discrimination but I can understand why as there is a risk involved when dealing with someone with less than perfect credit. My question here is, What is the formula? How are they taking my credit score and deciding that I need X amount down and having to pay X% interest rate more than the guy who walks in behind me? I am not convinced that all people in a credit bracket are equal in the eyes of loan sharks and banks, I just want to figure out ahead of time what to expect without having to give my personal finance and credit info out every time I see a car I like.

  • What are these small bumps on the corner of my mouth?

    Over the last 2 months a small cluster of bumps have popped up in the corner of my lip/mouth right in the middle of my shave line and petruding into the corner of my lip. The skin around the area is irritated and it makes it hard to shave. The tips of 2 of them have a small white cap to it. I searched the internet and it scared the crap out of me. I read about everything from acne related white spots to hpv and herpes. All images I saw do not look like these and they do not appear to be a form of warts altho I am not sure. I have developed a few warts on my hands over the years and I heard it is possible it could spread. Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

  • How do you kill an exposed nerve in a tooth?

    I am in severe pain. th tooth at the top just behind my k9 tooth split down the middle a few days ago and the nerve is exposed. It is sending constant sharp pains through my jaw and mouth and even causing nerves in other teeth that are fine to hurt as well. It has kept me up for 3 days and nights now with no relief. I went to the Hospital ER and they gave me Penicillin just incase it gets infected and also a generic 5mg narcotic/Tylenol pain medication that has not helped with the pain is the slightest. They told me I need to get to a Dentist and have a root canal or have the tooth pulled with the root. As much as I would love to do that, This is America and he without a job or insurance in America get swept under the rug. I checked into a free dental clinic and it is backed up atleast 2 months before I could get any help and I can not locate a Dentist that wants to help me. So I am left with 2 options, Suffer in pain that is driving me to the point of suicide or find a home remedy to kill the nerve in my tooth. After searching the internet I have found very little help on the matter. Go to a dentist everyone says. What is a poor common person to do when going to a Dentist is not a part of the free American dream? Please help the pain is overwhelming!

  • Why do Liberal Democrats Hate the USA so much?`?

    Did they get dropped on there heads as children are did they just do some many drugs in the 60s that they have no brains left? I am confused with all this political crap I see on TV from both sides. Why can't we just use the good thats in the system to correct our problems instead of imposing Liberal and socialist revolutionary views on people?

  • Has anyone tested early direct X 10 games on direct x9 cards? read for details?

    I just bought my X1950XTX crossfire cards a few months back and dont realy care to spend another 800 bucks on new cards when i go to vista. I have an X1950xtx 512mb and an X1950cf 512mb both in crossfire. I am thinking about going to vista for direct x 10. I am just wondering if anyone had seen if the direct x 9 cards will run the first generation of dx10 games fairly well. Thats alot of money to get new video cards when i havent even had mine half a year yet.

  • Tech question about pci express bus?

    Ok i am running an ATi X1950 crossfire edition and an ATi X1950XTX in forssfire. both running at PCIE X16 on my crossfire 3200 motherboard.

    I also have integrated gigabyte lan running at PCIE X1 built into the motherboard.

    heres the question.

    Is the lan adapter eating up bandwith from the video cards being that they are all on the pcie bus? I have integrated 10/100 pci built in as well that i can use if this is the case.

    Just trying to optimize performance.

    thanks

  • how to increase FPS on a 2ms 22" LCD monitor?

    I upgrade from my 21" sony trintron crt monitor to a samsung syncmaster 226bw 22" 2ms LCD Monitor.

    It seems i am getting a little bit of terring and even lower fps on most games than my crt monitor put out. I am using the DVI Connection. my system is plenty fast to run every game i have. I have had it about 4 months now and it has never had any fps problems in games until I switched monitors.

    my system config:

    AMD AM2 5200+ dual core oc 2.8ghz

    2x 1gig sticks DDR2 800 memory oc to 4-4-4-12 CL2

    (OCZ Crossfire cert memory with ATi coolers)

    MSI K9a Platinum socket AM2 crossfire 3200 MB

    Radeon X1950 crossfire edition 512mb DDR4

    Radeon X1950xtx 512mb DDR4 in crossfire

    2x 160gig sata 3.0 hard drives in Raid 0

    crap tones of cooling for the overclocking.

    all runs stable but im lossing fps with this LCD, maybe LCD is just a lost cause for now?

  • Slow system boot on my new gamming rig: read?

    Ok I built my new system, here is specs: MSI K9A Pltinum Crossfire 3200 AM2 motherboard, AMD Athlon64 X2 5200 2.6ghz AM2 CPU, 2x 1gig sticks of OCZ ATi Crossfire certified memory (DDR2 800 4-4-4-15 T2) Western Digital 160gig Sata2 hard drive, ATi Radeon X1950XTX + Radeon X1950CF

    ok system load is slow, after it gets into windows it takes about 20-30 seconds longer to be active than it did on my 939 system using same video cards but DDR memory and an Athlon64 FX55. All that i have on startup is my sound, video, mouse, and network driver loading. I am virus and spyware free and i have even tried downloading both the microsoft and AMD dual core patches for WinXP but they no help!. this is a fresh install with my WinXP Pro disk. After the amazing slow boot up, the system runs like a champ and blows games and multimedia away, but its sooo slow at startup. I have been running like this about 2 months now (thats when i actualy built the system) its getting annoying. Please advise
