They've got the lowest price on a laptop I'm looking to buy, but I've never heard of them and can't seem to find any information on the site from people who've actually used it. It looks mostly legit, I'm just a little skeptical. This is ringing all kinds of bells for me. The fact that they have iPads on discount is enough for me.
It's even better when you dive into the About Us page
Now, they may be legit, some small mall store store trying to sell some overstock or whatever but I would stay far far away from them. FCKGW fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Jan 26, 2012 |

I've heard it works and I really want to help my sister out so she can stop ordering all this proactive poo poo Check out the skincare thread and maybe? the makeup thread in W&W as they might have some answers. You'll probably be recommended the oil cleansing method or a change in products used. yoohoo posted:Anybody know a quick and clean way to get rid of an elastic band in the sleeves of one of my jackets, bar simply cutting it with some scissors? Probably making a snip near the hem, pulling out what you can and cutting the elastic out? Question: what was the conclusion to The Goonboot Project back in 2008? Did we get it made or what?

Cut a small slit in the fabric over the elastic band, pull the elastic out, cut it, and then pull it out through the slit. Sew up the slit you made. (It'll be on the inside of the sleeve, so you don't have to make it pretty.)

Can anyone recommend a good free online reminder system that 2 people can use together? I only need fairly basic functionality. I'm working on a personal project with a friend who is in a different time zone and we'd like to be able to see and add to each other's goals, get reminders via email and SMS and track completion. Google gives me a bunch of them but I'd love to get recommendations. Thanks!

How do I find a jeweler to re-size a band that is trustworthy? I don't know how much of this is scary old wives tales about jewelers swapping out diamonds for cubic zirconia, but I'm going to be buying a diamond ring from a friend of mine and I want to make sure I take it to someone with a good reputation, but I don't even know how to look into something like that. Usually I use Yelp with a grain of salt, but this is a nice ring so I want to put a bit more care into what kind of jeweler I let spend any amount of time alone with it. Am I just being paranoid or is this a real thing to be concerned about? No one in my family, or any of my friends, really has any nice jewelry so I can't go off personal recommendations.

They aren't listed on http://www.nic.cz/whois/registrars/list/1/ so I would probably go to one of the URLs on that page. Edit: Never mind, they're Active 24, and if you go to their site through the link on that page (and they're the #1 link), and click English, it takes you right to domains.cz. So they would appear to be completely reputable. As for the rest of your questions, I don't know.

You might have a penalty if you owed taxes from last year's tax return but you could still end up with some refund back. You aren't going to be thrown in jail or anything though. They won't go away if you don't file, though. You're still responsible for filing no matter how late it is. A couple of my friends didn't do their taxes for several years and it was a big headache to get them done all at once, but it has to be done.

Is theft of diamonds really such a big problem? Everything I've ever read says that thanks to De Beers' total control of the industry there is virtually no secondhand market for the things and it's impossible to use them as a long-term investment for the same reason.

Excel help alert! So at work, we're going to be sending out postcards to our customers who have not ordered past June 2011. I have a list of the customer(column a), when they ordered(column b), and what they ordered(column c). Is there some way I can make excel highlight or delete the information I don't need? Here is what I'm thinking: Let's say I split the data into orders AFTER and BEFORE June 2011. I then some how make Excel check both the customer name and what they ordered from the BEFORE list against the AFTER list and highlight the 'duplicate' data in the AFTER list. So basically, if This and This matches That and That, highlight This information.

You can use conditional formatting to accomplish this. Not sure it's quite the best method, but say that your list of BEFORE names is in A, and your list of AFTER names is in C, and that you've got 100 BEFORE names. In C1, go to conditional formatting (on the Home tab), go to Highlight Cell Rules, and select More Rules. Choose "use a formula..." and type in =OR($A$1:$A$100=C1) Click on the "Format..." and select a background color. Once you've applied that to the first AFTER name, copy it, highlight the entire AFTER column, right click, "Paste Special..." and pick "Formatting". To explain that formula: The $ symbol locks the row/column as constant, even when you copy and paste it. (So we want the range of cells to be constant, but the cell it's searching for to be the current one.) The OR statement is true if the current cell is equal to any of the cells in the range A1:A100.

So I have a problem with craigslist 'ghosting' my ads (It takes me through all the steps and even shows me the page listing, but when I look in craigslist the ad isn't there). I'm outside the US now, so I don't know if that might have something to do with it (when I was living US I never had this problem). Googling only takes me to sites with people saying "buy my book to learn all the secrets of craigslist". I've tried different emails and proxys and still nothing. Anyone got any ideas?

Did I just see Progress M-14M go by? I saw some kind of rocket fly overhead at about 12:50 AM PST, here in San Diego, CA. It appeared in the south part of the sky and went across the western sky for a while, then got fainter until the engine throttled back and cut off. We see launches now and then from Vandenberg, but they usually start off towards the northwest, and besides there's nothing scheduled. The only other thing I can think of is that it's the Progress doing a main engine burn. I can't find any orbital data on it but assuming it's roughly in the same orbital plane as the ISS, it could have been in that part of the sky at the time, unless I'm way off. Any space goons out there that can tell me if I have this right? Orbital maneuvers don't exactly make front page news.

I was searching for a thread somewhere on the forums where I could post this before I made a new one, and thought it was worth asking here first. I have several gmail accounts, A) one I made when I was a teenager(and my current primary e-mail), B) a more recent one that is fairly more professionally named than video games references, and C) my school e-mail(which uses the gmail system). Right now I have everything forward to A, where I keep everything nice and clean and labeled correctly so I can easily find everything. I currently have it set up so I log into A and can send(and receive) e-mail from B&C while logged into A, it's just that sometimes on the receiving end it's like "From: Professional@gmail.com <on behalf of megamanxxx1234@gmail.com">", which isn't how I want to present myself to colleagues. I want to know if there is a nice way to go through and switch my main account(the one I log into on a daily basis) to B, and somehow keep my organization from A with it or if I'm hosed and need to start from scratch and go through the thousands of e-mails in B to sort them out. I use the gmail web interface for everything instead of a program like Mail since I use multiple computers every day. I just want to get this poo poo straightened out and want to know if there exists an easier way of doing it than by hand.

Yarrbossa posted:gmail If both accounts are @gmail.com, "<on behalf of>" should not be showing up. Are all three accounts hosted @gmail.com, or do either of the alternatives have different domains? If they're all gmail and you're still getting that, try this: Gmail > Settings > Accounts & Import Under Send mail as:, click 'edit info' next to the two alternatives, and make sure "treat as an alias" is enabled. If it already is AND they're all @gmail.com AND you're still getting <on behalf of>, let me know and we can progress.

Travakian posted:If both accounts are @gmail.com, "<on behalf of>" should not be showing up. A and B are gmail.com, C is a school domain but uses the google apps interface. All of the mail accounts have "treat as an alias" checked. I found someone with a @yahoo account and sent an e-mail, and through his iPhone at least nothing appeared amiss. Perhaps it was something that just happened in the past and I'm just now getting around to looking into it, only it's something that's been fixed? Maybe I'm worrying about a problem that no longer exists? I guess despite it being fine, in the future I would like to switch things so I can login with B, just so that's more natural. Do you have any suggestions for switching things over, or just forward anything important and start fresh? EDIT: I completely forgot, I have all my photo's uploaded to google photo with paid storage on A, so the switch will not be only on e-mails. Should I just suck it up and switch everything over the hard way? Goddamn this is going to be difficult...

While there's Gmail chat going on, I might as well add a question. Is there any way to download all your saved emails and attachments in Gmail, or are you stuck doing each one manually?

Yarrbossa posted:More gmail! Ehh, just switch it over then. Use this guide; it'll automate it. Not sure about Google Photo, though you could get in touch with their customer support and see if you can move the subscription over. If you send an email from A@gmail.com or B@gmail.com AS C@school.com, I believe it will by default read "A@gmail.com on behalf of C@school.com;" edit the "Send mail as" info so that it sends from the school's servers (only, put in gmail's info there when it asks). when worlds collide posted:Backing up entire account / downloading attachments If you want to back up your entire account, you'll need a third-party tool; I've heard decent things about Gmail Backup.

All good. Slight change to my last post-- you don't need a third-party tool, it just simplifies things. If you're concerned about potentially giving access to your account to an outsider, download Thunderbird and bring all your email in via IMAP then find a plugin or tool that can make a backup/archive of everything from there.
