Some of you may remember me. Some may even recall me previously asking if anyone wanted to go backpacking in Oregon. Well, my knees won't last forever - I'm 46 and if I'm going to use them I best get on with it. So I had been thinking about the 'glory days' of my teens, when I went backpacking...

Wow. It's been a long time since I started a thread here. I just have video so far. This is the hexcopter I just finished. From motor to motor across the craft she measures 550mm (21.6"). There are a lot of lights but I can't seem to catch them on camera with the GoPro2. In the day they wash...

Anyone on here into RC airplanes? I want to learn to fly them, so I got a Night Vapor, which is a super ultralight, because it's slow and forgiving and can be flown in the house. Except I can't really yet. And outside it's a lot of fun, but due to it's ultra-light status the air has to be...

Long live the Hemperor. :(

So I saw Daughtry on America's Got Talent last night, and I enjoyed the song they played. I had not heard of them before last night (I don't follow American Idol or pop radio). Should I just go ahead and buy their album, or would that make me a tool? Keep in mind, I'm not 'hardcore' when it...

Woot! DEA to end medical marijuana raids - More health news- msnbc.com It truly is a relief, even though the odds of my being bothered by the DEA were already almost non-existent.

Anyone know of a walk through for a simple BIND setup under W2K? I'm looking to provide lookup for sites within my network to clients within my network and nothing more. Caching would be fine, but is not necessary. I have found this: Replacing ms dns with bind9 | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and...

My employer has locked down our building. Looks like a suspicious package. Outside we can see police, fire dept., hazmat, and news crews. 1500 people stuck in a building with no ventilation. Whee.

I knew it was coming because her boyfriend asked my permission/blessing first. Still, it's making me feel old. Where did the years go? :phone: That's about it. Chatter amongst yourselves

I need to keep two drives synced (ghetto raid, lol). I have done some looking, but I have not been impressed by what I have read. Has anyone had positive experience with file sync software? What do/did you use?

In the last couple days I saw someone post an image that showed 2 maps: one was titled something like "places that should cry for me" and the other (highlighting Argentina) "places that should not cry for me". Or something like that. I looked - I really did. Anyone have the image or remember...

Sorry, had to move the database. You guys weren't reading it anyway. It's not like I wouldn't just email a copy if you asked nice.

Which one of you just interviewed for a job at Symantec, over the phone? You said during the interview that you had experience scripting for T1. I have your real name, but I should not share it, nor can I say anything about the interview other than you did fine. You are killing me here.

I'm not asking for research here, just reassurance. I have been looking into going HDTV and, eventually, Blueray. The only serious concern I have is the whole aspect ratio issue. From what I gather, there are 4 basic ratios I might run into: 4:3, 16:9, 1.85:1, and 2.39:1. What I want is a...

I will actually be in Waltham, whatever, on business. What to do in the evenings, besides bar hopping?
