I want to sell my old 35mm equipment on eBay. It is a fully manual Vivitar V335, which uses a Pentax K-mount. I bought two lenses, both Albinar, one wide angle, one telephoto zoom (80mm to 200mm) for it, a manual trigger cable, and a flash unit for it. Its a good starter for someone to learn...

I took some amazing timed exposure digital pictures in Carlsbad Caverns, and want to print at least one to poster size. I've been looking online, and one of the best deals I found was Costco, who will print 20x30 posters for $8. I don't need breathtaking quality, and the camera is only 6...

Going to do a big garage sale, and I need some advice on pricing. I have stuff that hear sells well, like men's clothes. But I have not seen much more online other than hearsay advice on general pricing. Does anyone have a site to reccommend that might help?

I'm looking for reccomendations on digital photo organizing software. I have a mess on my hard drive. Generally, at best, I have a folder that is labelled to tell me what is in it, and nothing beyond there. The folders are scattered across several hard drives. Ideally, I would like something...

I have a large collection, around 21,000 songs. I would like to create sort of a "culled" version of the full collection for carrying with me that would include only hits, released singles, fan favorites, band favorites, and personal favorites. As for the last category, it would require personal...

I am puzzled. I have had hay fever over the years, nothing too terrible. And though I had not changed anything in my environment, I woke up this past Sunday with my eyes red, kind of looking like I had a rough night of sleep. By late morning, my conjunctivas were swelling, and by afternoon, I...

It's hard to believe I have been on my Vulcan Nomad for almost three years and 45,000 miles. I had no plans to upgrade, until I found this: It's the 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager. Iy's totally new, and intended to directly compete with the Harley Davidson Ultra Classis, but at $8k...

Kate Pierson isn't much younger than my mom, but damn if they haven't put out a really good album. It's like a fresh, updated "Wild Planet", produced by Steve Osborne, who produced New order's "Get Ready". Not a whole lot for the "Cosmic Thing" fans, but it is really great, fun stuff.

I have an ASUS A7N8X mobo with an Athlon xp 2400+, one or two gigs of ram, and 750GB hard drive space. The video card is nothing special, but does have DVI out. I am thinking that it would be worth the money to buy one or two of the tuner cards I have seen that can get analog cable + OTA HDTV...

I'm setting up my system with RAID, and I followed the instructions (correctly I thought). Unfortunately, when I boot to my Win XP Pro 64 disk to install the OS, I get a message that Windows cannot find any hard drives, and my only option is to press F3 to exit. My motherboard is an Asus...

My son is using my old P-3. He mostly plays older games like Age of Empires, and stores his mp3s on it. Age of Mythology won't play, and the video card is an old nVidia 32MB AGP card. The card is 4x. The machine is using Win98. I'd like to upgrade the video card for him and get him a flat...

I'd been wearing a burr/butch for a while, and went more with a conservative/business cut lately, allowing my hair to grow out a bit on the top. I'm trying to decide what I want to do, now. I don't really have any restrictions, and have joked about letting it grow long and having dreads...

Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair with nForce 590 SLI AMD chipset, and SATA Drives: 2 Hitachi Deskstar 500GB with data on both (one is the boot drive), 2 1TB Hitachi Deskstars with data on neither. I want data redundancy. What is the best configuration with my number of drives, two RAID 1...

I bought a Jabra JX-10, but everyone hates to converse with me on it, because it picks up so much background noise. I can't find a headset with a long mouth boom that is also bluetooth, and I really hate the wire. Looking at reviews, it seems that the two that keep coming up for good sound...

I've been running Premiere 6.5 after upgrading from 6.0, which came bundled with a Pinnacle DV500+. Since XP SP2, the Pinnacle hardware hasn't worked, and the performance of 6.5 on my new system has been less than stellar. I don't know if it is a difference in hardware, or if the newer codecs...

I know there was a thread about one of the HTF server drives dying. I didn't see a resolution in there. Anyway, I'm hoping to salvage some data. I've been doing research and not being hasty. So far, I have investigated jumpers, bios, and cabling, put the drive into a different computer, and...

I'm looking for ease of use in better security. Some sites, particularly financial sites, are requiring passwords containing upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. I have accounts I can't remember passwords for. I used to have a Norton program that would remember them for me...

Didn't see anything about this here, so I thought I'd throw it in. Are you a fan of 80's Maiden? :D World Tour 2008 From ironmaiden.com: "...this tour, aptly entitled 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME', will revisit the band's history by focusing almost entirely on the 80's in both choice of...

I put together a DVD of a weekend long motorcycle ride some friends and I took. I included a "DVD-ROM" folder that contains all the pictures that everyone took at full resolution. I highly doubt that I will pour back over the original recordings, DV tapes, etc. I have the DVD files on the...

When I go on group motorcycle rides, at the end of the ride, I collect everyone's pictures via my Zen's CF adapter. I put them all together and burn them to a disc and give them to everyone. This may seem a bit AR, but I really want to have the pictures in chronologial order. Yes, I can use...

If I need to compress a video to a specific completed file size, what is the best way to do it? So far, I have tried various WMV formats with results that are acceptable, but just a little bit too big, or way below the limit and really crappy. There's nto a lot of flexibility in the standard...

Just building my new system. Here's the basic components: 1Gx2|CRUCIAL BALLISTIX PC-800 ASUS CROSSHAIR AM2 nForce 590 (2) EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR 8600GT 256M AMD|A64 FX-62 2.8G AM2 WINDSOR DUAL CORE (2) HD 500G|HITACHI DESKSTAR 7K 16M SATA2 I bought monitors this weekend, three Samsung...

My property value is way up, and I found some cheap land close by. I was thinking of selling this place, taking my proceeds, and building something I could have for cash. Steel probably isn't the most attractive, but they look much cheaper than the standard alternatives. Anyone go this route...

I bought a Steren 201-758 5x8 Multiswitch to create eight outputs from my DirecTV HD dish, and to piggyback an OTA antenna signal. I'm looking at this multiswitch, and I'm not sure which satellite inputs to connect where. I have four connections, labelled: 13V/0kHz Sat A, 17V/0kHz Sat A, 13V...

Got it done yesterday. Not the worst pain i've ever felt in my life, more of an uncomfortable feeling. Dave martinez does great work. I got these both with the camera phone, so quality/subject framing isn't the best. I am putting an ointment they sold me on the tattoo at regular...

Bikers, we're talking luggage gear. My Nomad has limited tank space for a bag. I found this thing on eBay: Marsee Motorcycle Tank Bag 1.5 Liter Quick Release. Anyone use one of these? It seems just right to hold my Zen, which is a tad large to put in a pocket.

The new system, when I get around to building it, is going to be based on the AMD Windsor dual-core processor. I want to get the most out of it. Obviously, Vista is a good choice for that. However, some of my hardware is not going to work on Vista, at least for a while. My M-Audio Delta-1010...

I think that I finally came up with a design that I want to wear permanently. It's a sunrise in space, based ont he Brights logo, and represents the Age of Enlightenment. I don't particularly feel any more enlightened today at 39 than I did yesterday at 38, but I think I'm getting there...

My trusty Pinnacle DV500+, Adobe Premiere, and Impression Pro served me well, but the installation was a nightmare, and it took a while (and many software patches) to get everything running together when I fist set it all up. Now, after a major system problem and setting it all up new again...

In the throes of a total system collapse, I found an unassuming 'accessories' directory on my c drive. Under that were two more directories, 'common', and 'WC'. Also in the 'common' directory were a lot of files with a .rna extension, and several text logs detailing text chats, online time...
