    Starting Grad School Today...ahhhhh!

    Having just graduated from grad school yesterday I can tell you that the course load was rough. It's not that it was overly complicated, but rather the volume of stuff to read and do is so great. I, however, didn't graduate with a degree in accountancy (I did a general MBA, and an MS in...

    Need movie recommendations for a school project

    Hi, I'm doing a project at school about leadership in an international context (using Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions as a basis) and I would like to show a few scenes from movies that depict good and bad examples of international leadership/interactions (preferably some funny ones, hence my...

    HTF like site for photography?

    This is a forum that I frequently check out. Canon Digital Photography Forums As the name implies it is somewhat Canon specific, but there are areas for people to share galleries, critique pictures, etc. Best regards, Eggert O.

    Canon S400's replacement or similar? (digital cameras)

    Have you heard about this camera: Sony Cybershot - DSC-T1 It only has 3x optical zoom though (you mentioned 4x as a minimum), but I thought it had so many other good qualities (not too mention its small size) that I should at least mention it. Best regards, Eggert

    Star Trek 5, Rockman Footage...

    There were a number of reasons. Nr. 1 the suit proved to be very expensive so the number of rockmen to be used was reduced. Eventually they only had one suit to work with. That suit worked fine during practice but broke down on the set if I remember correctly, and they couldn't (or perhaps just...

    Got any tips for lending DVDs?

    You are reading way too much into those statements. I never said it was ok for anyone to damage anyone's DVDs. The thrust of my argument is that when it comes to my family and friends I will let them have most of my DVDs since they are easily replacable IF something happens (that does not...

    Got any tips for lending DVDs?

    By saying "tight" I didn't mean "cheap". If it came out that way I apologize. But, I think we will just have to disagree on this. I do not see a problem in lending out DVDs to friends and family (and yes, many of them have their own collections and would understand if I said no). I have never...

    Got any tips for lending DVDs?

    Wow, tough people here. Don't get me wrong, if you have had many bad experiences then I can see where you are coming from. I have about 450 DVDs and I like being able to share them with my family and friends. Up until now, I have only had one DVD returned in less than good condition and that...

    Star Trek Newbie...

    Hang in there, TNG takes a while to really get going (although season 1 is no slouch). Just wait until you get to episodes in later seasons like Inner Light, Yesterday's Enterprise, Best of Both Worlds Part I and II, Who Watches the Watchers, and many others, and you will not regret having...

    Star Trek Newbie...

    No problem. Just get ready for a very pleasant addiction. I have been hooked on Star Trek for almost my entire life (my father introduced me to Star Trek The Motion Picture when I was about 4 or 5). TNG is an excellent starting point. Just keep in mind the series didn't really take of until...

    Star Trek Newbie...

    Are you talking about getting into collecting the DVDs or getting into Star Trek itself (as in not having seen much of it before)?? I took it you meant the latter, but I might be wrong there. Not a dumb question at all. As you might know, Star Trek includes the following series: The...

    Need new speakers all around

    Thanks for your responses guys! I apparantly need to find a Paradigm dealer here in Boston. But even this (4 Titans for a total of $438 and the center for $199, giving me a total of $637) is getting a bit to expensive (ah, the joys of being a poor student again :) ). Sticking with 2 Titans...

    Need new speakers all around

    Hello, I am attending grad school in the US (I am from Europe) and after two months without my hometheater system I am simply going crazy :) . So I have decided to ship my receiver over here (Denon AVC-A10SE, equivalent to the Denon AVR-4800), but instead of shipping my speakers over here...

    Need a new VCR (please do not hurt me :-) )

    Hi, Thanks for your recommendations. I have checked out the 7800 model and it seems to be what I am looking for. It seems however that Crutchfield doesn't accept foreign credit cards (you have to select a US state in the billing information) so I will have to wait to order it until I get...

    Need a new VCR (please do not hurt me :-) )

    I am moving to the US next week and intend to purchase a S-VHS VCR. It has been many years since I looked into VCRs with any real interest, and I have never owned or researched S-VHS VCRs before, so I wanted to pose this question here on the forum. What not-to-expensive (anything over 400 USD...

    Non downloadable movie trailers

    Why is it that I can't download movie trailers to my computer? Why do studios force me to stream the trailers over the internet every time I want to check out a trailer? I often want to show trailers to family and friends, however, not being able to download the trailers (and thus just play...
