    Parents of teens -- HELP!

    Everybody keeps preaching the same thing here except a few. And Mike summed it up nicely here: "You do it because you can." I make no claims on parenting skills nor will I tell anyone how to raise their kids (especially if they ask ;) ). But time management is my big, big weakness. And...

    The greatest way to wake up.

    In all fairness, the whole orientation-in-the-sky thing plagued me for my first few flights as well. It comes with time. I think the overwhelming amount of visual data while experiencing the thrill of flying makes it difficult to process things until we get acclimatized a little...

    What are some of your other hobbies?

    Running from the law. Let's not tell them I'm here, okay? ;)

    What are some of your other hobbies?

    Photography and woodworking have been my big hobbies lately. Otherwise... flyfishing hiking (usually for photography reasons) dog training (although I'm not sure who is training whom here) shooting (a recently added expensive hobby) fitness School has been killing me lately. This...

    What are some of your other hobbies?

    I'm not sure about the "detecting body heat" thing. According to the Sony rep I talked to, it's more like a proximity detector. Come to think of it, it worked when I put the camera down next to something else, too. Don't bother using the autofocus "fast start" if you're hanging it on your...

    Windows Media Player downloading

    Typically this comes from loading a CD and playing it. The player goes out to a database site looking for the track titles, maybe the artwork, etc.. In the options, look for something like "Retrieve information from the Internet" (in 10 that's the setting under Library) and uncheck it...

    Apples iTunes and DRM

    So...while it's not an open standard, manufacturers have licensed the codec for their own systems and built digital music players that cost LESS than Apple's and, from a consumer's point of view, have the ability to move music amongst various players. From the consumer's point of view...who...

    Apples iTunes and DRM

    But you don't hold the COPYRIGHT nor the ownership of the artwork itself unless someone signs over ownership through a legal process. And, as Bill mentioned, it's pointless to copy said artwork since copies lose the same qualities that make the artwork unique (sharpness, colors, etc.)...

    Apples iTunes and DRM

    According to the way I understand copyrights for other content, such as photos and books, however, you'll NEVER own the content. Only the publisher owns the content. So why should music or video be different? As a photographer, if I sell you a copy of the photograph, I didn't give up my...

    Apples iTunes and DRM

    This is rather interesting. I've been following the debate for some time: http://news.com.com/Norwegian+watchdog+scrutinizes+iTunes+DRM/2100-1027_3-6101808.html?tag=nefd.top Basically, Apple's iTunes downloaded songs are incompatible with other players (although you can export them and...

    The language filter and abuse thereof, and moderator actions.

    Obviously, I'm speaking as a former MC member here... What everyone seems to forget is that, with community involvement, every post is moderated. You ALL have the ability to use the Bad Post button. And oddly enough, each of us has a different opinion on what is and is not a RoC violation...

    Job Interview Tomorrow!!

    Re: Two Words WIND CHILL!! Beats me. I don't pay attention to the news anymore. Life is full of chances. I'm not walking down the street in fear of getting shot any more than I'm flying an airplane waiting for it to drop out of the sky.

    Job Interview Tomorrow!!

    Re: Two Words WIND CHILL!! Dude, that's an Albuquerque thing. I swear every person I've met from there has complained about the same things. Phoenix has similar weather (hotter in the summer but less inclement weather) and a HUGE amount of tech work available. Send me a resume and I'll...
