As you may know, between medical disability, and desk job at a supply company for a while before that started, I have been " out of the loop" for field work for quite a while. Looking ahead to possibly needing to replace WH .... Is the Watts 210 temperature activated gas shut off still...

Don't know if you have been following the saga at San Onofre NGS. Both reactors have been shut down for a year. They replaced the steam generator tube assemblies, in the process re-designing them to increase power output capacity by 10% to 15%. Within a year of retubing, they started...

I had been having DSL internet connection outages, reaching more or less permanent yesterday. AT&T was not exactly jumping up and down to help. My daughter tweeted about her great grandfather ( my grandfather ) who with two brothers, served more than 100 YEARS with AT&T, running long...

My whole condo complex has GE AJ...series wall air conditioners. As our forced air heaters are dying with no repair/replacement seemingly available, some owners had put in AJ units with heat pump feature. Apparently they no longer are made like that, just straight cool. Anyone have...

Lets say I want to travel....with my laptop. If I am on the road for a few weeks, I would need to do things like make ( and pay for) hotels and rent-a-cars, do some on line banking , etc. Is there any way to do this stuff in a secure manner, when internet access will be from free...

Currently using a very old Dell Latitude D610, XP Professional. It is slow and battery life is just about 1 1/4 hours. My requirements are very modest : most important is to stay on the small side for ease of schlepping around with it. I use it in bed while on the 5fu pump, and take it...

Can someone bottom-line this?? I get the issue...ran out of IP addresses, so shifting to 128 bit vs 32 bit. ATT ( dsl ) sent me an email saying that at SOME point, I have to replace my dsl modem. Will this be a gradual thing?? This week? This year???

I believe that on this forum and elsewhere, the subject of odor in new ( HE ) washing machines has come up. Plumbers may even get a service call, with the homeowner thinking it is a drain problem. Notice that TIDE and others now sell a dedicated WASHING MACHINE CLEANER product...

I think I saw Ian stitting near queenie at the opening ceremony!

I won't belabor the point; over the last 2 1/2 weeks, undergoing a phalanx of testing, I have been given so much MJ juice that I have come to appreciate why he liked it so much! Mine of course was in hospital, hooked up every which way to wires and whatever, and an anesthesiologist in...

I hadn't shopped for a shower door for quite a long time, until now. We want a frameless door. I notice that a lot of them now, including some pricey Kohlers with 3/8" glass.... have a metal strip attached to the bottom of the glass as a glide. This seems to me like a spot where gunk and...

All the talk about kerdi this and blah blah blah give me a thirst for some REAL liquid gold!

I was looking on line at a small UPS battery backup. It is rated at 550 VA / 330 watts. Now watts is volts time amps, and I know that power factor may enter into the equation...but why is VA so much different than the watts on that guy??
