Re: Any Replacements fans here? New documentary out Nov. 20, 2012 - 9 years ago
Quoterz Quotethe_poochies This list is fairly accurate, although I would have ranked Let It Be #1: Agree the list is pretty good, but I would put Tim at #1. And I'm glad that All Shook Down wasn't at the bottom, where I figured it would be. I really like it, but almost every review I've ever seen has really panned it. Nope, Let it Be should've been #1 but we're niggling about 3 classicby MEG - Tips and Deals
Re: Good/inexpensive hotels in DC area? - 9 years ago
Quotecbelt3 According to my sister who lives in Springfield, VA. and works at the U Md (when she's not at CERN), avoid the entire area inside the Beltway. Funny, those of us inside the Beltway try to avoid Springfield Typically, the terms "good" and "inexpensive" are mutually exclusive around here. The hotels are going to be cheaper in the outlying suburbs (Springfielby MEG - Tips and Deals

Re: 2nd Gen Drobo? - 9 years ago
I've got 2 Drobo FW800 boxes (and a QX2). The Drobos are used for bulk storage (music files, movies, software images) and backups, the QX2 is my primary storage. Is it stable? Yes. It's been plug-in and forget for me. The first one's been connected to my iMac since the September 2008 and the various OS's since then. How much power does it use? Can't say for certain but I've populated oneby MEG - Tips and Deals

Re: Best place to get iPhone 5 this weekend? - 9 years ago
When the iPhone 4S was release last year I walked into the nearby AT&T store after going out to dinner and picked one up - no line waiting, no pre-order, no hassle. They only had the black 32 & 64 GB versions left at that point, but I was looking for the black 64GB. Of course, ymmv. Can't hurt to call around and ask before you head over to one.by MEG - Tips and Deals
Re: 10.8 mail problem - 9 years ago
Size appears in the status line where you can select the image size (e.g., small, medium, large, actual size) right below the To/From/Subject headings. Don't think I did anything special to get that.by MEG - Tips and Deals
Re: Canon rolls out the 6D Full frame 20mp for $2099 - 9 years ago
QuoteAllGold P.S.: The 50mm/2.5 Macro and 15/2.8 Fisheye were introed in 1987 and they're still on the service list but my 1996 17-35/2.8L is not. It's about the production dates, not when the lens was introduced - the 50mm/2.5 Macro even though it's design is 25 years old, is still a current lens. The 15mm/2.8 Fisheye was in production until last year. That's why those are still on the serviby MEG - Tips and Deals
Re: Canon rolls out the 6D Full frame 20mp for $2099 - 9 years ago
QuoteAllGold Have an $8000 600mm/f4 that doesn't have IS? Canon won't even clean it, let alone do an actual repair. That's a little disingenuous - the 600mm f/4L non-is hasn't been in production since before the turn of the century (the replacement came out in 1999). Sort of like complaining that your $8000 G3 Desktop can't be serviced at the Apple Store ;)by MEG - Tips and Deals

It's *because* the guy didn't use the same password for any of the sites we're talking about it.

Re: AT&T Rolls Out Shared Data Plan - 9 years ago
If we go to the 4GB shared plan we'd save $5/month for our 2 phones, the 6GB shared plan would cost $5/month more. We both have unlimited data (grandfathered) but neither of us has ever gone over 1GB in a month. Wouldn't mind dropping down to a lower data plan but would hope it would save more than $5...by MEG - Tips and Deals

Re: What's the Best Burger you Ever Ate? - 10 years ago
Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, VA (DC). It's a burger joint/hole in the wall in a strip mall - small, order at the counter and sit at an open table to eat. Parking's horrendous and the line can be out the door at peak hours but the burgers...they make me want to be a better person. Ray also has a steakhouse in the area (Ray's the Steaks) and uses the same steaks to grind his own ground beef.by MEG - Tips and Deals

Gas is our largest export. We already import more crude than we can use for gas, why drill for more - so the gas companies can export more and make more $$ ;)by MEG - Tips and Deals
