    If you have some spare $$$ on Paypal or something

    Just thought I'd share this. Was on Reddit's front page earlier. I figured many people need help of some kind and what is lacking is someone or something to connect them to those who are willing to provide it. A chance to make a small difference. I have no relation to this besides thinking...

    The curious case of MS OneNote, Android edition

    A bit of background first. I was looking for a way to ditch my notebooks due to an injury causing quite a lot of pain whenver I write more than a paragraph. My Note 3 offered a solution - use the s-pen for everything math and the keyboard for all other text. Next, I needed a way to...

    Do you hunt\shoot with a scope? Come offer your insights!

    Howdy folks. I've been looking for info that seems to just not be there regarding a certain phenomenon. I shoot a compound bow (a Hoyt Contender) with a X6 scope and I've encountered a drift in the hit area based on the amount of light present and the position of the source (namley the...

    When society breaks down

    I've written in another thread somewhere about Syria having no "good sides". This article is an example of that. While the rest of the world talks about "bringing Assad down" or "helping the rebels" and such, I see this conflict of a perfect example of a lose-lose situation, where both...

    First DSLR, a bit confused due to price

    I'd like to buy my first DSLR and I have no clue what is best for me. The problem is price. Here are a few models I've looked at: A new Canon EOS400D kit costs $915. Non-IS 18-55 I think. Canon EOS450D kit (18-55 IS) $1260. Nikon D80 (really like this one) $1140 for new body only. Nikon...

    'Mech games

    I'm a big fan of everything BattleTech and sadly, I haven't seen anything from that universe since MW4: Mercs. The MW4 series is...nice...but does not have the right "scale", IMO, like MW2\3 did. The graphics are also a bit odd. Anyway, I watched Transformers for the first time a few days...

    Bats driving us crazy

    So...I live in a small town (or kibbutz) here in Israel and a large group of bats joined us a while ago. A few days ago they started squeaking loudly from sunset to sunrise with no end in sight. Unfortunately I don't have a spare M16 or even a BB gun around, any other suggestions?

    Career as a...pilot?

    Howdy. I was wondering if there are any commercial aircraft pilots around here, or if anyone knows them and can tell me about working as one. It is pretty costly compared to any random engineering degree (about 8 times the costs here in Israel, half as much if I do it in the US) but it is...

    Original Halo community?

    Hello :) I was wondering, do people still play Halo? I'm planning on reinstalling it and perhaps playing it online.

    Doom 3 demo - positively surprised

    Last week I thought about upgrading my system. After deciding to put the money on parts for my motorcycle instead, I downloaded the D3 demo to see how it goes anyway. My system is quite old - P4 2.67GHz, 512MB PC2700 RAM and a good old Radeon 9700. Wasn't expecting much...the game defaulted...

    Vid card upgrade - worth it?

    Good evening :) My current PC is a (now quite old) P4 2.4, OC'ed to 2.67GHz, 512MB RAM and a Radeon 9700 non-pro. Motherboard is an Asus P4S533. In HL2 I get stuttering at the higher detail settings and with AA it gets a bit slow. Due to prices being somewhat high ($200 for a 3200+...
