    To those who change shower heads

    An unauthorized upgrade, at that. Showers are offered "as is" and are not subject to alteration. The price paid for a shower does not entitle you to change the parameters of the agreed upon terms of the service. If you change out the shower head because you don't like the industrial-strength...

    Where Have All The Controversial Posts Gone

    That's what they want you to think. Three of them are cyborgs, four are animatronic escapees from the Country Bear Jamboree at the Magic Kingdom, and I suspect more than one to be cleverly designed cardboard cutouts.

    Digital Camera Questions

    That's my thinking, too. The more lenses, the more better, especially if you're a lens freak and know exactly which lens you need for a given situation. But just how many lenses do you want to carry either while hunting deer or out in the boat? Same with me in the van, I want a dSLR, but lenses...

    Digital Camera Questions

    Well, for example, if you got the SX30 IS, you can get a Lensmate 58mm Thread Filter Adapter for $20, and then some excellent filters in the $25-$50 range. Pay close attention to the Moose filter. Awesome for wildlife photography, it's a combination of a warming and a polarizing filter. If...

    e-mail photos

    Easiest way (or at least a way) is to create an account at Photobucket, upload them there, and use the direct links to the pics in the posts here. Just keep them to no more than 640 pixels wide for direct links.

    Digital Camera Questions

    I've got a Canon PowerShot S2 IS, which is essentially an older version of the PowerShot SX30 IS (similar to the A650). These are not SLR cameras. Being able to have a decent zoom is important to me, for the same reason as you, for wildlife and that sort of thing. The S2 IS is only 5 MP, but the...

    Arizona shooting: Have Sarah Palin's election chances been damaged?

    I was thinking the same thing. "What happened was a crime, it was a crime against the citizens of Tuscon, not the country. IT ALL should be put into perspective of what actually happened." Just like we an have multiple national tragedies, crimes can have multiple victims. In this case the...

    lets get this palin thing over

    I would hazard to guess that if the opponent was a Democrat, and the office was that of the Presidency, then for many people this would be an absolute, and an easy one to answer.

    Arizona shooting: Have Sarah Palin's election chances been damaged?

    Well, "machine gun" and "assault rifle" aren't mutually exclusive. The term "machine gun" itself is merely a Term of Art, but is clearly defined under US law by the National Firearms Act of 1934 as, "any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot...

    Arizona shooting: Have Sarah Palin's election chances been damaged?

    Well, I though we were talking in the context of 50, 100, 200 years ago, especially with the mention of Booth. If you look at things within the context of the television era, on the surface there are certainly more voices, but it's not quite that simple. When the Big 3 were the only game in...

    Verizon & the Iphone

    Ah, OK. That phone must have some weird problems. A friend got that phone last week, and couldn't get much of a signal at her house. Weak, kept dropping calls, it was pretty bad. She took it back the other day and got a Droid X. Now she's got full bars all around.

    Arizona shooting: Have Sarah Palin's election chances been damaged?

    I think the very nature of the 24/7 news cycles is why the current political rhetoric is worse. Much of the rhetoric is the same now as it has always been, true enough, but in times past you had far more voices which affected far smaller groups of people, whereas today you have far fewer voices...

    Verizon & the Iphone

    Well, the iPhone is brain-dead easy to use. It's very intuitive and not complicated at all. Everyone from your three-year old to your grandmother can use it equally well. You will, however, be using it in the manner in which Steve Jobs wants you to use it, including the interface and the apps...

    Arizona shooting: Have Sarah Palin's election chances been damaged?

    Giffords' office was one of several members of Congress who had their office vandalized just hours after the Health Care vote. Giffords' Republican opponent in the 2010 midterm campaign was Jesse Kelly. She narrowly defeated him. During the race, he held a campaign event for which in an ad...

    Insider info?

    Good example of not knowing your audience. Here's a little inside information right back at ya: there are very few people here who would accept a load requiring extras, like liftgate service, hand load or unload, layover, detention, etc., without getting paid for it. If the carrier requests it...

    Hello, new to expeditors.

    It's kinda like the bat boy telling Roy Halladay that he's doing it all wrong. Sophomore - One who knows not, and knows not that he knows not.

    The Rights of Our Over-indulged Children

    Oh sure, I know all that, and posted it with all that in mind. Except for the "should not proceed with the reading of this post" part. I figure if you don't want it read, for whatever reason, you wouldn't have posted.
