As long as we agree they are in the bus, and one of the girls (or cats?) is driving, (or there is no driver), 10990 Rick Glazier - Original Message - From: Mike I got 1582.
[H] HTPC Remote?
Looking for a good universal remote for my HTPC and was wondering what the list uses. I have been playing with the Harmony 550 and I like it but it is IR only and AFAIK I need RF to work with the HTPC. Definitely would like something that can be programmed via the PC like the Harmony line by just telling it what components I have. Also an action menu with macros to do different things is really desirable --- Brian Weeden

[H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser
3 guys walk into a hotel and request a room. (Don't ask why 3 guys are getting a room) The bell boy at the service desk says its $30, so each guy pays $10. As the bell boy at the service desk is putting away the 3 $10 bills, the hotel manager returns, see's this and says The room is not $30, its $25, on sale this week. Go return $5. As the bell boy is going up the elevator, he's wondering how he is going to split $5 between 3 boys - so he reasons since I'm such a good guy, I'll give each guy $1 (3 x $1 = $3) and I'll keep $2 myself. Now, each guy renting the room has paid $9, and the bell boy keeps $2: $2 + (3 x $9) = $29 Where did the missing $1 go?
Re: [H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser
He can't do math. They gave him 30. He's holding 5. That means they kicked in 25 total, or 8. per each. Give each $1, and they all gave 9 and 1/3 basically. Which leaves $2 left. The end. :) Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: Rick Glazier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2008 00:07:45 To:The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser 3 guys walk into a hotel and request a room.

Re: [H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser
I'll buy that... Pretty fast. (Now go back and do the first one...) Answer: Where did the missing $1 go? === Before: $0 in cash register $0 in bellboy's pocket $10 in each man's pocket (x3) $30 total After: $25 in cash register $2 in bellboy's pocket $1 in each man's pocket (x3) $30 total Rick Glazier - Original Message - From: Chris Reeves He can't do math.

They started with $10 each and ended up with $1 each, how could they have paid $9.3? -Original Message- From: Chris Reeves He can't do math. They gave him 30. He's holding 5.

Re: [H] OT-2-New Brain Teaser
Also, in the original, the following is a mis-direct: Now, each guy renting the room has paid $9, and the bell boy keeps $2: $2 + (3 x $9) = $29 The $2 the bell boy keeps is part of the 3 x $9 paid by the 3 guys. The two amounts should NOT be added together. Jim -Original Message- From: James Maki Boy 1: -$10 + $1 = -$9 Boy 2: -$10 + $1 = -$9 Boy 3: -$10 + $1 = -$9 Bellhop: $5 - $3 = $2 Register: $30 - $5 = $25 - Cash Unaccounted for = $0 The 3 boys paid a total of $27 dollars ($9 each), $25 to the hotel, $2 to the bellboy. We get stuck on the $30 dollar figure which is no long relevant. Jim
