    Led Zeppelin Fans - 10 disc Box Set $64.99 Free Shipping.

    wow, i hope you are kidding me. don't be so closed minded as to give bands an expiration date, quality music transcends the generation in which it was created. led zeppelin were great when they came out, are great now, and will be great a hundred years from now.

    i'd appreciate some help with FreeBSD before i burn my office building down

    long story short. the tech guy for my company had a nervous breakdown (seriously) and is playing the role of mosquito king somewhere on a deserted island. the problem is that one of the things that drove him over the edge was a server crash, which wasn't backed up. anyhow, the guy just...

    man, streaming video can't happen soon enough...

    News yes, however, given the nature of P&N, this should be over in OT Senior Anantech Moderator Common Courtesy seriously though, what is taking these companies so long? i thought this would be commonplace by now. i guess they had to wait for there to be enough broadband...

    40F too cold to camp out?

    only if you have a car i think. if you're hiking through on the AT it's free. i didn't end up camping anyhow because they said i had to give three days notice for reservations...very lame. not too upset though, as it has rained all night and i get to sleep in a comfy bed (i drove the whole...

    40F too cold to camp out?

    it's actually just in a random hilly, wooded area, no park or anything -- my first, and still favorite course (by far). not affiliated with the school either, so it would be open. i just don't want to deal with anderson cooper and the media blitz that has descended on the place.

    40F too cold to camp out?

    by the way, i was actually planning of swinging by my old disc golf course for a round (haven't played at all in a year). unfortunately, that course happens to be in blacksburg (i.e. virginia tech), so i'll have to skip it this time around.

    40F too cold to camp out?

    i have a tent, it'll probably add about 10 degrees to the outside temp and block the wind, so it shouldn't be so bad.

    40F too cold to camp out?

    hmmm, that's actually a really good point. i was still in hiking mode, trying to think light. but, since i'll have my car, i can just bring another blanket.

    i have a 9 hour drive ahead of me (PA to NC) and i don't really feel like doing it in one day. the Shenandoah National Forest is smack dab in the middle of my trip. trying to decide whether i should camp out or not. it's going to be 40F tomorrow night. i have a 45F rated sleeping bag, so i...

    My review of the new Instant on From Netflix

    well, the documentaries are good, which is what i like. and as i mentioned, they have signed a deal with Lionsgate and CHUM Limited (who apparently is big for TV stuff in Canada), i wish they'd get that damn stuff up before my subscription runs out! :P supposedly they also have deals with the...

    Need help on an SLR to buy

    a small size isn't necessarily good for dslrs. i never handled an xti over a long period of time, but some people complain that it is too small to grip comfortably. remember, these cameras have some weight to them, especially when you have a big lens hooked up.

    My review of the new Instant on From Netflix

    i don't want to spam, but a company i'm writing for (see my sig) is in the streaming video market. they are still really small and don't have anywhere near netflix's content, but the quality of their video is excellent (they claim dvd-quality). they use a p2p setup. i dunno if they'll...

    Need help on an SLR to buy

    well, the 50mm f/1.8 would be a pretty good choice for the band pictures, because it works pretty well in low light. but if you want to do landscape you need something with a wider angle -- the Tokina 19-35mm is a pretty nice lens which can be had for about $150 used i believe. the canon...

    Need help on an SLR to buy

    50mm f/1.8 is a great lens (it was my first), but if he wants to do landscape right off the bat, that may not be a good choice.

    Need help on an SLR to buy

    definitely need your budget. but, if you are looking to save a little money, i would recommended buying a used Canon 10D body. that is what i have and i've been very happy with it. you have to be a little careful with the number of shutter actuations the camera has had, but as long as the...

    4th Annual Tax Thread - 2006

    i ran a home business last year, for which i need to drop stuff off at the local FedEx using my car. anyhow, i just realized since the car isn't officially in my name, i can't use the standard mileage deduction for the vehicle. so, that means i'm stuck using actual expense. i have a repair...
