I have a quick question for Windows Reddit, can you help me out? | I am getting into the IT business (see my other submission here and have a question.
If I need to do a complete re-install of XP, Vista or 7 on someones computer but they do not have the original install disc, would I be able to use my own retail XP, Vista or 7 install disc as long as I used the Windows Key that came ... |
My 4 year old just finished 1st in mario kart for his first time. :') | He's got the game for almost 3 weeks now and wasn't grasping the concept of racing instead of exploring, he's now getting better positions and now I cant avoid feeling awesome, I must admit I felt a little frustrated a week ago but now I realized that I probably wasn't better than him at that age, if you have kids be p... |
Is anyone HAPPY to be with their SO on V-Day? Because I am. | I spent V-Day a day early with my wonderful girlfriend (since we live far apart and I need Sunday as a travel day). We went record shopping, had delicious Japanese food, watched Ong Bak 2, had delicious flatbread pizza, and split a bottle of wine. It was perfect. Anyone else actually happy to be with the one they lo... |
Will Valve ever change the scores in the server browser from kills to actual points? | I see people in a server that have been there for an hour with only 1 or 2 points listed on the server browser, because the points listed are simply kills gained (a medic might not have any and still be on top of the scoreboard.)
Is there a way to change this myself, or is just this just a relic scoring system Valve... |
Need a link to the video of the 2010 Olympics opening ceremony, can anyone provide? | My wife is teaching a group of kids about the Olympics. She would like to show the opening ceremony to the families to help create interest. (She will probably not use the piece in its entirety but conform to public domain laws.)
We were going to tape it off of TV, but missed the ceremony. Anyone know where we can ... |
DAE come up with clever passwords for their online accounts, then get frustrated that they can't tell anyone? | It's usually to do with the account/product, coupled with a pop culture reference. For example, my online banking password used to be "Let's Get Fiscal". I lasted a week before changing that to something more secure/less brag worthy. |
Hey Cincinnati/ Northern KY redditors, want to meet TOMOMORROW? (Feb 14) | Anyone want to meet up for that event at Findlay Market tomorrow? Its half Mardi Gras, half Valentines Day, so I would become depressed going alone. |
Why does the current in a coil of copper wire not travel between the wires and short the circuit? | I have not been able to find a simple answer to this question. The only thing I could find is from Wikipedia:
> As self induction is larger for larger coil diameter the current in a thick wire tries to flow on the inside. The ideal use of copper is achieved by foils. Sometimes this means that a spiral is a better ... |
I'm looking for a good deductive-reasoning game. Are there any out there that I should know about? | I like to do puzzles a lot. However, as much as I like to do things like Sudoku or similar games, I've always preferred something that uses more deductive reasoning and insight. A bit like a mystery book, but the evidence is all laid out in front of me from the beginning. Any recommendations? |
TIL Sundown Towns apparently existed all over the nation | My roommate's friend just mentioned this to me, so I started digging. He said about 10 years ago he saw a billboard that say something along the lines of "keep out nigger" or something and mentioned the term sundown town.

Artists and the like: I need to order sheets or a roll of acetate. Do you have any suggestions? | I need to be able to make durable patterns for window treatments and soft furnishings. Acetate aids in this tremendously, since I can do a one-off of a pattern and hang it for future use. Have any of you ever ordered this or needed to get it somewhere? I don't need a gross of anything - hoping to find a source for a... |

The Winter Olympics website needs an option to disable the Facebook chat sidebar so we can skip past the rampant racism and ignorance. | Vancouver 2010 Olympic Website
Even if I log out of my Facebook account I'm still forced to watch idiots try to "serve" each other like ten year-olds (which I'm sure some are). Nothing like a big dose of the anti-Olympic spirit right on the official Olympic website. I understand the idea, that they want an interacti... |

So what the hell should I do with it? |
HAE, for no particular reason, not yet gotten around to purchasing a cell phone? | I'm absolutely not a Luddite, I assure you. I'm a 2-year Redditor, after all! But, being 41, I grew up without feeling the need (or having the option) to be in constant contact with family and friends, am single with no kids, and don't need one for my job, so I just kind of haven't gotten around to getting one yet, and... |
I did the math for what each denomination coin was worth in 1950. - Do you really think we should continue using coins below a quarter? | To me, a *quarter* should be the base coin denomination, at this point. - Everybody has their nostalgia toward dimes, nickels, and pennies, but there was never a unit of currency previously that is as worthless as our penny.
In 1950, a 25-cent piece was worth the equivalent of $2.21 today. - One dime was the equivalen... |
What is your story on why your gift hasn't arrived yet? | I personally believe that the plane carrying my gift crashed in the Atlantic two months ago, bringing down the whole crew. Tom Hanks survived the impact and befriended an inanimate object. My gift was meant to be the ice skate that he used to knock out his tooth. What about you? |

We also live in a heavily republican and conservative ... |

As a result I would like to put up security cameras to watch the front and backyard. Ideally it'd be wireless, night vision, and weather proof. I googled it but I have only found ... |
Can you process music normally? | Hi Reddit,
So when my boyfriend listens to music he doesn't understand the lyrics, he has no real concept of pitch, and he can't keep track of the rhythm. He also says he doesn't feel anything when he listens to emotional songs - no immediate cheer to "I'm walking on sunshine," no sadness to "Moonlight Sonata," and no... |
DAE subscribe to the politics subreddit because it's the only way they find out about important things, but dislike the bias/sensationalism that a lot of the top submissions have? | I hate when I'm on the front page and I see a submission bashing some other political view. I get really mad that this political garbage is on my front page, then realize that its in the politics subreddit, and my hands are tied.
I'm torn, reddit. I want to stay subscribed because there are often important submission... |
I have recently started a band to play in bars and pubs. What songs would you recommend we play? | As the title suggests I have recently started a band to play in bars and pubs. I was wondering the songs you like to hear bands play while you are out on the juice partaking in activities such as trying to pick up, talking crap or making a general ass of yourself (dancing) while drunk. |

Samichlaus: My new favorite beer ever | #Samichlaus
I had never heard of this beer before tonight. I went to a bar I had never been to, The Archer with my wife and a couple of friends. I went to the Austrian, Czech, and German section of the menu, because this is what I get into, and I picked the beer I'd never had before.
It was amazing. It was caramely, ... |
Advice for ammo for a brand-new Walther P22? | Hi /r/guns!
I just picked up a Walther P22 (navy blue with nickel slide) so I can try to ease the wife into our new life in the country. Thought this would be a decent plinker as well as a good way to get her acclimated to shooting before I work her up to something with more stopping power.

Cable payment system doesn't seem fair...? | I'm not talking dollar amounts... I hadn't watched TV for a while now, using Hulu instead. I recently visited my friends house, and we watched a little TV. I understood that Hulu was free (for now... :( ) possible only because of the ads. On computer and web applications/services, there are usually "shareware" and "ad-... |
Beginning of a sinus infection. | I feel like I am starting to get some sort of cold/sinus infection (that dry irritating feeling in your sinuses).

What would you do with a controller that is still synced to your *stolen* console and you are 90% sure the thieving bastard lives near you? | Also consider you probably don't know the person who stole it. This may be the only opportunity for some closer since the cops won't do shit for a guy who lost some video games.
Please note: I am not suggesting anything that falls into the realm of "taking the law into your own hands." |
I know how to solve America's obesity problem. | This weekend, after purchasing a tiny yogurt for the ridiculous price of $4, I became indignant. Why is a healthy, 80-calorie treat four times as expensive as fattening potato chips? Why should I be punished for making a good decision? And then it came to me:
*We should charge by the number of calories.*
Not a penny... |
Think of the possibilities: Joe Pesci as a Ferengi. | What do you guys think? Could he have played a good Ferengi? He's got the height and certainly his voice would've made for a good Ferengi accent. What are you thoughts. This was just something random I thought of today. |
Canada Reddit: I would really like to expose my 2 year old son to some PJ Katie's Farm. Does anyone know where I can find some vids? | PJ Katie's Farm was amazing!

A Treatise On Properly Written FUCK YEA Comics | I absolutely love FUCK YEA comics, but to me they're funny for a very specific reason and many of the comics I see don't quite grasp it.

How do I use a Bialetti Moka pot properly? | So a little while ago I found an ancient Moka Express pot in my attic. I tried to use it and I just made a pretty crappy, overly-strong espresso. How do I use the thing to make an actually good espresso? Thanks for the help!

DAE: After having an orgasm, when given additional sexual stimulation, pee? | So, I'm not sure if this is normal. It doesn't matter if I've masturbated or have sex.
