    Settings for the car show

    I'm not trying to be a smartlec, but if you'd like to use a monopod, couldn't you just keep the legs folded together on your current tripod? Or is your tripod a big bulky beast? I ask because some race tracks specify monopods-only, so I picked up a tripod that is lightweight and pretty easy to...

    Your Very Best of 2005

    I had a tough time picking one. The first three came from a day of driving around and visiting a park across the river in Minnesota: These next two are from the local air show. We have a very small airport (2 gates, lol) but they always manage to bring in either the Blue...

    How Can I Buy a Sticky?

    Well, there IS a place for that already, though I don't think it gets many views: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=765952. If that link doesn't work, then you need to buy GenMay access. :D I'm guessing that you're looking for more exposure than what WLWC in GenMay can give? If...

    Secrets to a Laptop

    Lemme add one advantage that I remembered once I saw Nomad's pics of the Sager: You get a full numpad, just as on a desktop keyboard. This obviously wasn't a deal-breaker for me since I went ahead and got the i9300 (at the time, price kept me from getting the Sager), but it sure as heck would...

    Secrets to a Laptop

    Do both of those systems come with the same/similar warranty? I'll assume those were both priced with a 1 year parts/labor wty. While I do enjoy my 9300, that Sager sounds very nice. Back when I was pricing mine, I couldn't get a comparable Sager for the range I had to work with - budget...

    Toshiba laptop keys failing

    If you've had multiple keys start to fail all at the same time, and in different areas of the keyboard, I'd look for a loose connection before popping off keys. But first, get some canned air and blow that sucker down to get any gunk that got underneath the keys. After that, pop open your...

    laptop forums?

    Here is Dell's online forum: http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums Not as in-depth as notebookforums but you still may get some decent opinions.

    Secrets to a Laptop

    Sorry to come in late, but do you seriously mean to PURCHASE coupons? You can get these things for free quite easily - it's all in being persistent enough to search every day and being patient enough to wait for the best coupon. If I misunderstood, well, sorry about that. Here's where I...

    New Dell Inspirion 9300 - Need a Reformat???

    That hidden partition has some Dell troubleshooting tools installed on it. You access them by pressing F12 during boot-up (same time you would press F2 for BIOS setup). You can test just about every hardware system on there, though I'm not certain how in-depth that testing goes. Having...

    Treo 650 for $240 + $50/month plan w/ unlimited web+SMS

    Sprint service has been good for me so I certainly won't recommend against it. There have been a couple billing glitches but they were taken care of with a single phone call each time. The Treo 650, however... well, it's a nice PDA and a crappy phone. Too big for me to use comfortably (but...

    GeForce Go 6800 Ultra for under $1,650

    http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=603670 In the second quote of the first post, there are a ton of links for coupons and deals. Dell seems to have 35% off coupons coming around all the time so try to hold out for those. They also had a 40% off a couple months back.

    Gaming notebooks - Yay or Nay?

    That's a good question. It's pointless for the laptop manufacturers to advertise their machines as being capable of graphic system upgrades when those upgrade components never actually materialize or simply don't work properly in the machine.

    Gaming notebooks - Yay or Nay?

    Well, my situation will be quite a bit different than (I'm guessing since I don't know how you all use your lappys) than most folks. Consider that I like to game and that I travel 70+% of the year. My company recently allowed me to upgrade from my 4 year old Toshiba P3 1.11 GHz to a lappy...

    When at home, do you use your laptop or your desktop?

    Once my boss told me I'd be doing more stuff remotely from my house (phone support), I "suggested" that I get a new laptop. Previously, I was okay with my lappy for work travel and my desktop for my own stuff at home but the work lappy just wasn't going to cut it for both (it's getting old, not...

    BF2 stinger - why do i suck so bad

    Back to AA for a moment. I haven't played much online yet and haven't had a chance to fully explore those larger versions of the maps. In addition to the Stinger sites, are there any static AA gun emplacements besides the CIWS on the carrier? The few times I've tried to take out planes...
