    I wonder how long this insanity will last....

    This x100 Some sanity in the thread. Otherwise, this thread makes it sound like every home owner in Toronto is a money grubbing, short sighted, penny pinching house poor loser way in over their head. Another pro tip = MAKE MORE MONEY so your combined income is more than 100K.

    I wonder how long this insanity will last....

    I actually feel awesome about my purchase, thank you very much. No where did I say that I was hoping to cash in on my home, or using as an investment vehicle or anything of the sort. It's a place to live, in a city I enjoy, with all the perks of owning a home. I just find it really funny...

    I wonder how long this insanity will last....

    I just bought a house, Kingston and Warden (yea Scarbarah!) Awesome area, right by the water, crazy appreciation year over year (just East of Beaches). $435K, detached two storey, 3 car driveway, garage, shed. 2.45% mortgage rate, and 20% down. The people crying and whining in this thread -...

    HDMI out to 50" TV

    To close this one off, it was a scaling issue. There is an option in the vid card that scales the screen size, regardless of the resolution you ant output (in my case 1920x1080). Accessing it is a ***** with the ATI interface.

    HDMI out to 50" TV

    I have a 1080p 50" Samsung plasma I got a few years ago (going on 5). Yesterday plugged in a laptop to it for the first time (no more cable tv for me) via an HDMI cable. And I had the following issues: 1. Full screen on the TV was not filled (black frame around) 2. There is lag when...

    Verizon possibly coming to CAN and the three stoogers are scared ********!!

    That's the funny thing - the CRTC and the Harper government are trying to brand themselves as 'consumer advocates' more than ever. Bell, TELUS and Rogers surely won't take a hit on profitability just because they are not allowed to offer 3 year contracts. Those 3 year contracts were how your...

    Step one - don't ask for dating/life advice on a motorcycle forum. Seriously.

    New rider frustration

    It takes up to 10,000 repetitions for proper muscle memory to truly settle in (some kind of sport fact). Keep that in mind.

    Trying to find a new job - My story so far...

    It is blind leading the blind. You need to have 10 of these monkeys working for you. And by working for you, they think you have something to offer that they need - otherwise they won't lift a finger. Then you can be firm with your availability (hey, I got 9 other guys batting for me..), and...

    Trying to find a new job - My story so far...

    Agency people are the worst. They'll be your best friend when they have a role they think you are a relative fit for, and then bail when they're done with you. I say relative, because they have quotas to fill as well, so they'll spin your resume to the employer if they think they can, so they...

    Trying to find a new job - My story so far...

    TL: DR - NETWORK, use LinkedIn 'friend' radio button, have coffees/meetings with as many people as you can. Workolopolis/Monster SUCK. I'm in a different industry than you, however went through a downsizing last year and was in the market for a job in January. The only advice I can give you...

    Suspect # 2 Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

    Think what you want - tinfoil hat on one end, I believe EVERYTHING I hear and read from news sources on the other. Don't ever accept everything as fact until proven otherwise. Great discussion on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/1cq7wo/boston_bombing_suspects_did_not_rob_7eleven_it/
