I might be making the plunge for my first Mac and was looking at the Macbook. How do you keep the white finish from getting all dirty and dingy? The black is nicer but not worth getting nailed for a couple hundred bucks. Has anyone here ever regretted getting a Macbook instead of a...

I'm trying to research a decent entry level DSLR but from what I've read the D50/70 don't have the ability to use a shutter release cable? Is this true? I find this kind of odd for a SLR camera. Otherwise I may have to get a digital Rebel. thanks, Jeff

I am just now getting into the whole photography thing for fun and want to get serious about taking pictures. Is it even worth buying a film SLR now or just say heck with it and buy a digital model? Thanks, Jeff

I may be taking a roadtrip to Philly soon and one of the things I want to try is a 'real' cheesesteak. I've done some research and it seems the 3 most popular are Geno's, Pat's, and Jim's. I've heard 2 good comments about Jim's being the best. Does anyone have any comments about either of...

I have the chance at work to apply for a security clearance but had a few questions about the process. How picky are they about various things on the application. I'm clean as far as drug use and criminal stuff. What I'm worried about is financial stuff like debt load and a few 30 day late...

I'm looking to buy a HD set top box but I'm a little confused about what they can really do. I do know they can receive all the Over the Air HD broadcasts via an antennea but many models also say they can get digital cable signals too via QAM. What is this QAM and does it also get the HD signals...

In the past there have been some good discussions about sleep apnea and CPAP. I've been using my CPAP machine for some time now and it has helped. I had to get the pressure bumped up from 4 to 6. I think these machines go up to 20. I can't imagine what that is like but it must be intense! For...

Has anyone read this book? If not then I highly suggest it. I read it in about 3 days. After reading it I had to take some 2nd looks at some of the paintings mentioned, especially the Last Supper. Any other thoughts on it? Jeff

Hi, I just got my HD cable box. It's a scientific atlanta 3250HD unit. The rep from Cox cable said I have to hook up both the component video cables plus also hook up the regular composite cables in order for it to work. That seems kinda odd. Does anyone know why they would say that I would...

I don't, in fact I have no problem telling coworkers or friends how much I make but I seen some people get all huffy and upset over it. Is it really a sensitive issue to most people? What I don't get is when someone bitches and moans that they don't make x amount per year but do nothing about...

My local college doesn't offer a Chemical Engineering program but after looking at the requirements for a BS in Chemistry they look pretty much the same. Same Math, Physics and Chem classes. Would a Chem degree be essentially the same thing? Someone once told me that another name for a physics...

I've noticed at several places in the area and lately 7-11 stores that they now accept Diner's Club cards. I didn't think anyone used those things anymore since American Express has become more popular. Is there any real benefit to owning one over anything else? Jeff

My townhouse has termites thanks to my next door neighbor. Orkin wants $1400 to extermite them with a variety of their methods. I'm having Terminix come out tomorrow for an estimate. Has anyone ever had termites before and what method of extermination was used, Baiting or Liquid. I've been...

I'm going to take the LSAT but I am trying to decide on the best prep course to take. Some people say Kaplan, some say Princeton Review and I also came across the Powerscore course. They are all the same price so it's kinda difficult to decide. Any suggestions and/or experiences with any of...

My wife just got one and it's a great car. Anyone else seen them or buy one yet? It appears that Acura is going after the Audi A4 and BMW 328 people with this car and it may win alot of them over. Jeff

Hi All, What's the big difference between these 2 types of mortgages? I'm currently in a FHA mortgage but am considering refinancing. Is there any real advantage to staying with FHA? I always had the impression that since FHA is from the government it's better. Thanks, Jeff
