I can imagine, because I briefly considered adding all the ROMs I've downloaded . . .

No, it's definitely cheque, except in the US. (hence the American English comment).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheque

In the rest of the world it's cheque, or some other localized name for a similar-but-not-exactly-a-cheque monetary device (like in Japan, there's a Kogitte which is basically a cheque but if it bounces your account is suspended for two years - and if you're a corporation and it bounces your stock is suspended from trading. SRS BSNS)

Every time an american writes check my brain displays someone taking one of these into the bank

I just bought ARMA II & Arrowhead, so that shouldn't be a problem

I was playing EYE with -KarL- but a thunderstorm decided to move in and I lost internet for probably 30-60 minutes. By then, of course, he went to bed. My internet sucks.

Now that I have it back, time to play Anno 2070.

What games should I buy to play with errahbody on GN? L4D2 is fun but there needs to be other games in there. I get bored of things pretty quick with mah ADHD and what'nat.

Yar. Be careful, though. If you use too much of your credit, your credit score will tank.

I rarely play online games.

-KarL- and I are playing EYE: Divine Cybermancy for the near future.


As for check/cheque--USA doesn't like using more letters than necessary to get the point across. The same goes for color/colour:

There's very, very few words US English spell longer than British English.

Search your steam library. It should show which of your steam buddies have the same games as you.
For more games, search the games list of everyone.

Just woke up and I got a reply about my problem with the Infinity speaker in my car having shit in the voice coil:

Hi [redacted],

Thank you for your email. I am sorry to hear about the issue in your speakers.

The truth is that your dealer is responsible for ALL warranty coverage on your speakers. This is a special deal we have with our dealers specifically so that you can simply return to the dealer and get a replacement quick and easy. Please contact your dealer and they will replace your speaker for you.

On the other hand, if your speakers are no longer under warranty, please forward a scanned copy of the purchase receipt and I will see if there is anything I can do to assist you.


Regards,
[redacted]
Technical Support
Harman International
Lifestyle Division

So, basically, there is no manufacturer's warranty? Dafuq? We'll see if I buy Infinity or any other Harman brand again . . . The whole reason I contacted them instead of the seller is because the seller will make me return both speakers and all the accessories and that's a fucking pain in the ass. *sigh*

What do you mean? If I spend close to limit it will hurt my score even if I pay it off in full right away before it even hits the statement?

eeyup. No alcohol allowed in the pool area. Actually, no food/drinks allowed at all in the pool area. There's a clubhouse right next to the pool for food/drinks.

Really, to be even more efficient, it should just be "chek".

[m1dg3t]

bon de jour....

heyzeus: have you tried speaking with the seller about swapping just the 1 driver? Mayhapz if talkie nicey nicey maybe he doee doee? I'm taking it they are not local?

[theJesus]

Oh, btw, I just ordered my TV, BD player, streaming device, 2x3ft HDMI cables (for connecting devices to receiver), 1x10ft HDMI cable (for connecting TV to receiver), and 1 right-angle HDMI adapter since the TV has side-facing ports and I want the connector facing down.

TV = 55" Panasonic GT50 (weee plasma!)
BD player = Panasonic DMP-BDT220 (which just so happened to be free with the TV lol go figure)
Streaming device = Western Digital WD TV Live (I know both the TV and the BD player can stream netflix and shit just fine, but I want to stream files from my PC/server and this supports pretty much any type of file you can throw at it right now)
3ft HDMI cables = Mediabridge Ultra Series
10ft HDMI cable = Mediabridge Ultra Series
little adapter thing = Cable Matters little adapter thingy

I'll get a wall-bracket later if I don't think it's at a good height on my TV stand or if it seems to be too heavy for it (it's just some cheapo walmart thing I've had for ages).

I'll see about it, but I doubt they'll do it. I purchased from a seller on Amazon (with fulfillment by Amazon for prime shipping). It was 3 Kings Audio.

I don't think they'll do it because then they'll have to take a speaker out of a brand new set and be left with a set that's missing a speaker and they can't sell that.

Depends who you ask, but most give the following advice:

Spending that approaches your credit limit negatively affects your credit score. FICO uses a balance-to-available credit ratio in their credit scoring, and the higher this ratio becomes, the worse it is for your credit standing. It’s important to note that you need not exhaust your credit completely to incur credit score damage. In fact, it may occur simply as a result of using significant portions of your available credit. Therefore it’s best to use only about a third of the credit available to you. Such spending is viewed as responsible by lenders and credit scorers and will help your credit score rather than place it in jeopardy. However, creditors also care about the total dollar amount of your available credit, so don’t fret over 40%-50% utilization, for example, if you have a low credit limit. You are much better off concentrating your efforts on increasing your credit limit.

I've also read that it's not because you're spending over a certain amount, but because they report utilization before the bill is due so even if you pay it off in time, but not right away you get dinged. IANA-Banker so IDK for sure, especially in the states, but more or less - yeah.

Part of your score is determined by how much of your credit you use: the less you use, the higher your score. On a credit card, this is the size of your balance compared to your total credit line.
A higher total credit line can help your credit score, but only if your charges don’t rise to match it. Aim to keep your credit card balance at 50% or less of your available total credit line. For more information on how your credit score is calculated, read the article, How to understand your credit report and credit score.

Oh, here is that seller's profile http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie...A1WRTEG7T8P2CK

The other link was their storefront

Well, I usually pay it by the time it gets to ~$500 and usually before I even get a statement (statement balance is usually $0). Anytime I spend a significant amount at one time, I pay it off as soon it comes out of pending and applies to the balance (they won't let me pay in advance ).

edit: The fact that I got approved for an increase should mean I'm in good standing so far though, right? And that I got approved for my apartment without a co-signer even though I've never rented before?

[m1dg3t]

I love my Sanus vmsab 03 mount

http://www.sanus.com/ca/en/products/...ion-mount/VMSA

Makes my TV look like it's floating free air

Regarding speaks: I'm pretty sure if you talk nicely they will swap either the 1 driver or the pair. There is no reason they shouldn't, you have warranty. This isn't China lol

For a small fee i can/will mediate the resolution?

EDIT: heyzeus i use "Credit Alert Services" costs me something like $22/month and they monitor my accounts and provide quarterly credit reports. I can access my credit info within a few minutes and they notify me immediately upon any "unnatural" transactions. Would do it again if i had too

Really? I've had negative balances all the time. I don't even get a paper statement most of the time because I just throw money at the card; $50-$100 more than I think I've spent

The worst that would happen is to lose a dozen or so points. The rules are pretty murky and nobody ever seems to want to clarify anything seemingly out of fear of being the one at fault for you breaking a rule

Oh, I know they'll swap the pair, they have to. I just don't want to send the pair and all accessories and all that jazz because then I have to take everything apart. It would be easier if I could just leave the mounts in place and only send the speaker back.

edit: Nice-looking mount. I want a low-profile one though so it looks like it's just right on the wall. Through my employer I can get super deep discounts on some Ergotron products.

[m1dg3t]

I understand jesus but realistically it is impractical for both parties to do it this way, are you saying this is your only option because that is what they have listed as policy or? Most businesses are willing to accomodate their customers for warranties, especially highly rated sellers

[theJesus]

Right, I understand it's impractical for the seller to try and just replace the one speaker. That's why I tried going through the manufacturer. Most manufacturer's I've dealt with typically prefer that you only send the defective part and no accessories.

edit: Their listed return policy just says to refer to Amazon's return policy and Amazon's return policy is to send everything back in original packaging irrc.

[m1dg3t]

I would speak to the seller/Amazon directly. Generalized info/policy, is, well; generalized

I have had some issues with stuff from Amazon before and spoke to either Amazon/seller and problem/s was/were rectified within a matter of days

I think you may be surprised, hopefully it works out

[theJesus]

Well, I sent a message off to them and also included the correspondence with Infinity as an attachment. We'll see what happens.

[m1dg3t]

I would also contact Amazon about this, if you haven't already? 1 way or the other i'm pretty sure they'll sort you out
