Just install WindowBlinds, right? Right guys? I'm sure the full-release icons will be different, this is a preview version. I hope.

Long time lurker, I just shoot for hobby/fun but had to share this. Fairly proud of myself, if I say so. Sunset over Charlotte, 7-11-13 after DAYS of rain. Canon 10D (yes, the old one), Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 Macro

Well, that certainly makes it easy. And here I was ready to pull out the soldering equipment haha. Thanks! Yes, I expected some noise to be introduced. I'll try a few different grounding points to help eliminate this. There is always some way to figure that out.

Here's the deal. I have two auxiliary inputs on my car radio. The signal is very weak, so I bought two cheap headphone amplifiers (Fiio E3) to boost the input signal (XM radio and cell phone/mp3 player). The headphone amps work great, and makes the input sound great and full; already tested with...

I have the printer hooked up to the USB port on the router (Asus RT-N56U), and in the router GUI, it recognizes the printer but when I set the printer up on my computers, they seem to not want to connect, or if they do it won't print anything for a few minutes after clicking "print." Does...

Sub'd. I like where this is going.

Got her the Incase one. Fits perfectly and she loves it. Thanks for the reply! I had been checking those out and wasn't sure what else was out there, but they seem to be very well made and just the right fit.

My girlfriend uses her 13" Macbook for school; It's a late 2009 plastic one (computer, not girlfriend), and I'm looking for some kind of a case or sleeve to keep it protected for her between classes/transport. Any recommendations? I was considering a neoprene style one for the newer Macbook Pros...

Oh. Well damn. Thanks guys!

As in a bunch of programs that I can load onto peoples' computers (mainly friends and family) whenever they ask me to "check them out, because it's going slow." Usually I run into a computer that is running very slowly, won't load websites despite being connected to the internet, takes forever...

I found this wallpaper a couple years ago I guess, and I've been using it on my laptop (1280x800). I'm trying to track down the same one in 1080 for my desktop. I thought I found it on Interfacelift, but I haven't been able to find it again. On my laptop it's named "Reaching Out," but I haven't...

Thanks guy! Sorry for taking so long to respond. That Foscam looks interesting. I'll have to research both of those, plus some other options. Thanks again for the input!

I want to put a spare computer in my garage to use for music, car information when working on them out there, etc. I'd also like to put a webcam on it to monitor whatever is happening. Any decent software I can use that would let me see the camera from any other computer on the network? I really...

I'm in need of a USB expansion card. Or, come to think of it, a USB hub. I've used all of my ports. I have looked around on Newegg and the like, and see prices ranging between 8 dollars, all the way up to 40+. What should I look for, what makes one better than another. Any recommendations? Needs...

Hate to bring this back to the top, but I'm pretty much set to the purchase of a Nikon. However, after a little more looking, I'm considering a D60. Is the difference between the D40 and the D60 that much better to justify the higher cost of the D60, or should I just jump on a D40. Obviously...

Looks great, can't wait to see how you finish it up!:)

Thanks for the advice guys. As far as spending more for better equipment, I think I'm not going to be getting that hardcore for another couple years or so, so that can wait. Again, this is mainly for hobby use. I'm going to look at both today, and see which feels better in my hands, and has a...

For the past two and a half years or so, I've been using a Canon S2-IS. I've been fairly happy with it, however believe it's time to jump to a DSLR. I'm a photographer by hobby only, by no means am I professional, however would like to start doing small photoshoots for others, primarily outdoor...

Good possibility. I think I've had the same power supply for a while, probably due for an upgrade. What about an external adapter? I have one for a PATA HDD, Western Digital. I'll have to try hooking the burner to that. Possible?

Heres the deal. I like having some sort of burner. My problem is that I've gone through about 4 burners in 3 or so years. They just go bad for no reason. All different brands. The most recent one to go was an ASUS DVD burner. I tried flashing the firmware, no dice. I've been through 2 DVD...

My car radio has an aux-input. It's a GM Delco unit, I hooked up an aux unit (tape player) to the radio, tapped into the audio lines, and hooked my XM receiver up to it. The problem now is that I need a preamp, because the XM receiver's output is low. I can adjust the output level, but even...

Of course. But this is the camera I have now, so I figured I could do what I can with it, and not worry about upgrading now. I realize I'd be better off, but I don't think it's completely necessary as of right now.:)

Thanks for the reply. I heard back from Canon, and they're going to take a look at it for me again. I want to eventually get different lenses for it; maybe something exists with a manual focus ring? Definitely a macro and telephoto lens at first.

I had this camera repaired in September '06 (purchased in December '05) due to the camera's overall difficulty in auto-focusing close range. It seemed that it was okay when focusing on subjects in the distance, however close-range (within 4 feet), even on macro and super-macro settings, the...

Yeah, I'll probably just end up making one. Shouldn't be very difficult at all.

Actually, a female stereo headphone jack. I can find tons of headphone jacks, but I need one with a ring-light, similar to the PowerBook's charging jack. Do these exist, or will I be limited to creating one?

I was going to say a drop ceiling, but the apartment people may frown on that. Maybe try some foam sound deadening? http://www.precisionfoam.com/

I found a few write-ups on modding them. Just picked them up this morning and am so far impressed for the price range. :cool:

Anybody have any other suggestions before I head to Best Buy tomorrow to pick up the Insignia's?

Thanks for the reply. I can place them a few more inches away, as my CRT will be on a higher shelf above my center chanel. So it would be more like 17-ish inches or so.

Just curious as to what would be better for electronic music (The Crystal Method, Prodigy, etc) as well as movies. Or, if there are any other recommendations, feel free. My budget is around 80, give or take, lower is better. These would be run through an Onkyo SR502. I also have an Alesis RA-100...

FANTASTIC! Thank you very much guys. It works perfectly! :D

Ugh, more information I forgot. *sigh* The wired router's ip is 192.168.2.1, the wireless 192.168.1.1. I'll try what you said though.

I tried that last night, and I lost internet on both the laptop and desktop. Is there a setting I'm supposed to change when I do that?

Sorry, I forgot to include that part. Port 4 on the first modem goes to the WAN on the wireless router. EDIT: Also forgot to include that all computers are MSHOME.

Heres the story. I have 3 computers on one router, all 3 can see eachother. On a second router (wireless), I have 2 computers. Both computers can see eachother. However neither router 1 nor router 2 can see eachother. My fileserver is on router 1, my desktop and laptop on router 2. The server...

Could not locate it on either. Thanks for the help though. Any other ideas?

I need a General Motors 9 pin radio connector, 2 female ends. I have to make an extension for a remote tape player and cannot for the life of Google locate a basic extension/connector. I need them with pins if possible. Thanks for any help!

If it's composite/s-video/VGA, I'll take one also.

I am very interested. If you could post pictures here or e-mail to [email protected] that would be great. My CRT just died last night, and I hate LCD.
