Does anybody here own (or rent) a combined washer/dryer? If so, any opinions on them? I'm moving to Chicago soon, and I'd really rather not have to go back to a community washer/dryer; having them in my apartment this year was just too nice. So I was thinking about the cost and benefits of...

About a week ago, I posted an ad on Craigslist to rent out the spare room in my apartment. I got an email yesterday about renting the room, and it seems innocent enough, yet I still get this weird feeling. I wanted to know what you guys thought about it. Here's the email. In addition, there was...

I'm nearly a year out of school, and I'm working a job in a startup that I really like.I'm a developer, so I don't write a lot, but I do enjoy it. To me, it's not only about communicating effectively, but it's about expressing ideas in a way that's impossible with other methods. So I've made it...

Everything has been shipped and feedback has been left. If you have any problems at all, feel free to yell at me via PM. And for those of you looking in the future, lesson to take away: lowballs take a lot of work! [/LIST] :psp: PSPOriginal PSP w/ 8GB Memory Stick, Sony Charger (comes with...

So I'm looking for a new turntable, but don't know how to look. :/ My old one I just grabbed from a garage sale (cheap one), but now I"m looking for something a bit better. I don't have many records, but I do really enjoy listening to the ones I have, and I want to start buying more. So, if...

It was announced that Comedy Central wouldn't be renewing Futurama after this summer's half-season. Officially the saddest day for TV ever. I personally think that Futurama is the funniest show ever on TV. The slapstick humor along with the intelligent nerd humor made for a show that was...

I'm looking for a really cheap Netflix device. (Actually, I need 3 of them.) I have a PS3, but I need some for other rooms of the house, and the Wii just looks like crap on a good TV. Are there any really cheap Netflix DVD/Blu-Ray players out there? I'd prefer a wired connection, but I would do...

I saw in guinaevere's thread about gifts that some CAG got her boyfriend a wallet for Valentine's day. That makes me wonder, what do you guys think of getting a wallet as a gift? My ex-girlfriend got one for me as a random gift, and was upset when I wasn't too thrilled about it. To be honest, I...

Hi guys, I'm having some electrical trouble. Long story short, there's been a squirrel leaving in the compressor compartment of my squirrel for what looks like a few weeks (the freezer is on my balcony). In that time, he fucked everything up. All of the main parts are still OK, no compressor or...

EDIT: I got somebody to handle it, so I think this thread is dead for now. Thanks anyway guys. :) Hey guys, I started my internship with my cousin last summer, and since then, I've been working on some software. Well, we're getting down to release time, but we kind of want a new icon for the...

Do you guys believe in ghosts or anything supernatural? I bring it up because my girlfriend is apparently terrified of ghosts. Last night, my computer woke itself up in the middle of the night (probably because of the wireless mouse) and I jokingly said that it was a ghost. Big mistake. She...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a little bit of information on the Shedd Aquarium, and I was hoping some of your fellow Chicago CAGs could help me out. I've lived in the northern suburbs my whole life, so I'm somewhat familiar with Chicago and driving around Chicago, but I could really use some tips...

So I just thought I'd ask, who uses security software on their computer? I have a Macbook that I dual-boot with 7 and Lion, and I just built a new work PC with 7 on it. The Macbook is going on 8+ months with no security software and the desktop is going on 3. I've gone through many Windows...

So for the last few weeks, I've had a lot of people over at my apartment. Well I pulled our Crash Bash for us all to play, and it was a huge success. :applause: We've been addicted. And I'm looking for another game that will provide a similar gameplay on the PS3. Basically, we play it for a few...

I bought my iPod touch 3g about a year and a half ago from a CAG, and it's been working great. But then, I upgrade to iOS 4.0 and the battery life SUCKS. It's so terrible I can't take it anymore. I am jailbroken and I came from 3.1.2, but for some reason, Cydia does not have my SHSH blobs saved...

Hey guys, looking for a new bike to ride during the summer and during the school year. I'm looking for a hybrid bike to ride mostly on the street, but a few gravel trails too. So I just need some suggestions on good deals and good brands. And would it be cheaper to buy online and ship, or just...

Hey guys, I was playing my PS3 today and i had to do an emergency shutoff (aka pull the plug), but now the PS3 file system is corrupted. It boots up and asks if I want to fix it. It then says it can't and asks me to format. The thing is, I have a 750GB hard drive almost full of content and I am...

Surprised no one has posted this yet. On April 1st, everybody with a PSN account will be asked to accept some new ToS, then have their account transferred to the new Sony division, Sony Network Entertainment America. Here's the new ToS if anybody wants to read them...

Hey guys, I was hoping I could get some music advice. This weekend, I'm hosting a small 'rave' in my apartment. It's really just like me and 20 friends getting together to wear glow sticks, drink and dance, but it should still be fun. Anyway, what I'm looking for is a good playlist. Nothing...

OK, here's my situation. I live in a 620sq ft apartment with 3 other people. It's the smallest apartment ever. My room is less than 15 ft from my entertainment system where my router is. Yet SOMEHOW, I manage to not get a connection above a few kb/s in my room. Same with my room mates. I have...
