Replacing the connector can breath new life into your NES. It doesn't require any soldering either. A replacement connector can be had for 5-10 bux.

I can assure you that it can. Isopropyl can dissolve some kinds of plastics and resins which are used in the manufacture of PCBs. As I said, the damage isn't severe and a single cleaning will not have any noticeable damage, but years down the line, the PCB will begin to separate due to the damage, causing the contacts

Rubbing alcohol does work, but has the unhappy consequence of damaging the PCB over time. It isn't bad, you could get years of service out of cartridges cleaned regularly with rubbing alcohol.

I'm going to disagree on the brass polish. That stuff is corrosive and will degrade the contacts over time. Pick up a can of spray contact cleaner (or electric motor cleaner) from your auto parts store (you'll find it nearby the brake cleaner) and just spray the contacts (no need to disassemble the cartridge). You

You don't have to buy a house, but you should seriously consider it. More often than not the savings of owning a house far outweigh the costs involved with maintaining a house. Also, gathering equity in a property is a much better angle than paying rent. It isn't an investment... but even if you get 1/4 of your money

For most notebooking, a wirebound steno book with graph paper gets the job done. I'm not that picky with regards to steno book. They are mostly for short term jotting.

Her complaint was legitimate. Her desire to be informed of the action performed on the perpetrator was not. It is disturbing that it took so long (and possibly wouldn't have happened had she not complained loud enough), but she isn't entitled to know what MS did to the offending player. She should have gotten an email

Ah, I usually did Reserve auctions.

I would wager that more people failed to get called for an interview due to lacking a degree than people who were turned down due to lacking a degree. The paperless folks are most often the first resumes cut from the stack.

My apartment had a bedbug infestation (Iowa). I despise them. It is infuriating that it doesn't matter how clean you are. We lost our boxspring to them (the mattress had a waterproof cover on it and they didn't get into it). From our understanding, the apartment across the hall had them and they must have made it into

There are strains of bedbugs in the Arkansas area that are resistant to DDT.

I haven't used ebay on a long time. This behavior is new to me. BIN used to exist for the duration of the auction. If the bid exceeded the BIN, then the BIN disappeared (but only an idiot would bid higher...)

It is sad that he no longer enjoys his work. I hope that doesn't come to me...

It would have likely have been just as inconvenient as going to store to purchase a new one, as the vending machine is sitting in a store who's primary business is the sale of undergarments.

This would make more sense if it wasn't sitting in a store where you could buy Bras...

I wonder if "Should I remove it" is listed in their database, and if the score is high.

Keep the feedback coming everyone. If everyone lets MS know exactly how they feel, they will get the console they want!

I do drink, and there are a great many alcoholic drinks that I don't like.

Yes, I agree completely.
