    Want to share applications from a centralized location.

    I have a couple of applications that I'd like for two people to simultaneously (and independently) be able to use, if necessary. What is more likely, is that we will be using, say, out of the 5 programs, one at a time, each. User #1 uses Program #2 while User #2 uses Program #4, but if User #1...

    I * love UPS

    I do some freelance videography, usually for non-profits. I had a weekend (Sunday) shoot, so I scheduled my gear rental to arrive on Friday. UPS attempted delivery when I wasn't home, and being that it was a $700 lens they couldn't just leave it there, so I came home to an InfoNotice. Next...

    Trying to build a computer lab - help needed

    Hello all! Just a LITTLE bit of background here - I work part-time for a student based relief agency, and this summer we took on the responsibility of building a computer lab [10 PCs] for some Haitian schoolchildren. I thought a lot about how best to do it, since the higher-ups were...

    mrSHEiK124's SDHC Card Benchmarks

    I've been looking all over the web for some decent roundup of SDHC cards that didn't just revolve around SanDisk's different cards and how they stack up - so I figured I'd try and start my own. (can we get a sticky here?) I'm using CrystalDiskMark for my benchmarking, with a Sony MRW-EA7...

    Fixing an LCD TV power supply

    I have a no name LCD TV, and a college student's disposable income. My TV is acting like it has bad caps - actually I opened it, and it has bad caps. It turns in 1 in 20 times, and when it does it takes 15 minutes for the picture to come on (usually just turns off). Sometimes it'll stay on, and...

    Need a good, portable mic for my T2i

Quality is #2. Price is...for the most part a non-issue, I have some money to spend on this. Any ideas or...

I'm sick of seeing your latest and greatest released with 900/1700/2100 MHz 3G or even worse just straight 900/2100 MHz.
