I'm currently RMA-ing my 4th motherboard for my current computer. The first 2 boards were ASUS A8N Deluxe models and the second 2 were ASUS A8N Premium.

Memory: CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200)
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 2.2GHz Socket 939 Processor
Video Card: eVGA 256-P2-N376-AX GeForce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
Case: APEVIA X-Dreamer II ATXB4KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower

I'm pretty sure at least 2 of the problems were from static electric shocks. That's obviously my fault (and I laughed at my mother for using those silly wrist straps). But I'm not entirely sure the other 2 failures were the same. This computer seems particularly prone to shorting out the motherboard, I don't think I've shorted a motherboard out before and I've built 3 computers. Is there anything that can cause a computer to be prone to shorting out?

I've included the specs just in case :)

Thanks in advance.

I carelessly tossed my beloved knitted sweater into the dryer. Now it's a bit too short. Is there any thing I can do to lengthen it again?

I am from New York and I know that overall we have the best pizza. Where is there decent pizza elsewhere? I love Pepe's in New Haven, Ct. That is probably the best ever.

I was just listening to the radio and heard a song that threw me straight back to the early 80s and my highschool days. I remember when MTV was brand new! (1981 for those who don't know.) I always loved that little astronaut that planted the MTV flag on the moon! lol So I got to thinking about all my favorite music videos. I had two in particular: Aha's "Take on Me," and Michael "Before I Went Wacko" Jackson's "Thriller."

"Take on Me" was the coolest! Totally cutting edge for the time. Isn't that funny? And "Thriller..." Well, c'mon..be honest. Who of you DIDN'T get up in the middle of your living room floor and dance with all the zombies? lol

So...what about YOU? tell me some of your favorite MTV music video moments from the 80's!

Softening my tap water for Angel fish seems to be insurmountable. My tap waters measures extremely hard, about 12.0 to 13.0 it's terrible...leaves spots on dishes...can see mineral deposits in ice cubes and so on. I have tried to soften the water in the tank (55g) with a product called Amazon Rain which came highly recommended by the local fish place here in Arizona. It was expensive and I don't want to have to be dependent on buying an expensive product so what's the best way to get this super hard water down to a respective range for Angel fish? I have heard about filtering with peat but that sounds messy and not practical in an apartment (no garage or other area since it smells) Ideas anyone? Their experiences? Thanks much.

I have a multiple-client hosting solution and I was wondering if I could access a single php file with my various client sites.

I have root access to my server. It is a linux box.

Also, will these files be secure? I presume so, I just need reassurance. ;)

I just graduated in December and am confused with how to gather the proper work experiences that will increase my earning potential. Most districts will only pay about two thousand more for a masters degree in education. I love teaching but I don't want to work into my eighties before I can retire.

My husband told me to buy 200 shares of Ciena Corp a few years ago. We did at around $9 per share. So that cost about $2 grand. Then the stock went down to a dollar for years! Since then, my husband died unexpectedly at age 36 - and I could use the money back. They did a reverse split - is this even fair? And suddenly we only own 27 shares! It is worth $30 each right now (so I'd be doing well if I had my original 200 shares) - which is only $810 - about half of what I started with. Should I cash out now, or hold on to some miracle hope that it will continue to climb to 60 or 70 bucks per share so I could come closer to getting my money back? This seems so wrong!
