    Digital Camcorders

    I read the old thread on CD-Rs

    :grnbounce Hey reyneman:beer: I just bought some black discs to try. I heard/read from several places that they're (in theory, anyway) supposed to be less susceptible to degradation due to light exposure.:headscrat Prior to this, I've been using Maxell 80 minute music CD-R's with very...

    Looking for internet radio sites.

    :grnbounce Hey VH:beer: Ditto on the Winamp, they have some excellent stations in just about any genre.:zoom: As to DL speeds. You can only download as fast as the other end sends, but you should get much better, smoother streams with your DSL. Here's a site (Cnet) where you can test...

    What's your Beef?

    OK, here are a couple of mine. 1. An hour and a half movie turned into a three hour ordeal on certain commercial TV stations.:bash: 2. People who think that "Merge" means "Stop at the end of the entrance ramp".:whip: 3. People who put "quotation marks" as indication of...

    Who turned the heat up

    :grnbounce Hey Larry:beer: I grew up in Minnesota, where the summers are hot and humid, and the winters are C-O-L-D. Sometimes in the summer during hot spells, the coils on the A/C will frost over to the point where you have to shut it off for an houir or so. That's why we Minnesotans...

    Something hard to admit....

    One of my best friends was a retired Air Force mechanic who died at 53. When the honor guard played "Taps", I lost it. The buglers played it beautifully and even the memory can still make me misty. Since then, I've been to several military funerals and that song does it to me every time...

    help needed! large electrolytic caps for Yamaha

    :grnbounce Hey Burro:beer: Leakage would be clearly visible and if the caps were leaking, their performance would suffer, probably enough to be audible. Altho all caps do deteriorate over time, those filter caps are often over-designed and would likely have to be way out of tolerance before...

    help needed! large electrolytic caps for Yamaha

    :grnbounce Hey glenburro:beer: First off, if they're not leaking and you're not getting any untraceable 60 cycle hum (it would br pretty loud, too), those filter caps are probably fine.:thmbsp: Second, the tolerances for those things are usually pretty big, often over 100% +/-. This...

    What's your opinion?

    Great "off-topic" thread, Thor, I agree with Grumpy in that it's the PARENTS responsibility to teach children to accept the differences between people. Children are taught intolerance, they don't learn it on their own. When my oldest son was around two years of age,my family had a big...
