    Nikon vs Canon

    You do want a good body and not a old piece of junk. I was just trying to point out that the lenses and the selection of lenses are more important.

    Nikon vs Canon

    From everything that I have read about DSLR, its the lenses that make the difference, not the body. the hardest problem with picking nikon over canon or canon over nikon is that if you have several lenses, the cost to switch to the other brand is increases with each lens. Lenses are a long term investment as they will far outlast the camera body. I have a Nikon D300 with 18-200 lens. I have a 70-200 f2.8 VRII on order and will be getting the 24-70 f2.8 as well.
  5. when I first got my dakota, I put 2" blocks in the back and cut the front springs with a grinder (don't use a torch as excessive heat can ruin the spring) It didn't ride any worse. mine resulted in about 1" lower in the front. worst case, you can replace the bump stops with shorter ones or cut the stock ones. I have hotchkis suspension now and rub badly on large bumps.
  6. if it has coil springs, you can cut 1/4 to 1/2 a coil off with a grinder and it should lower it enough.
  7. I bought an item on ebay on Monday, selected "Credit card" as the source of funding. Paypal processed a credit card transaction however it was to my checking account and not my credit card. Just glad I caught it so I didn't overdraft my checking account.
  8. Tried GPSed and it wouldn't connect either. also tried another app and it said no GPS. Did some searching and its either the CHIP, or the GPS has to auth. to verison before initializing so 3rd party apps won't work. even if you pay for their nav service.
  9. ok, blackberry maps hooked up in 10 seconds to 9 satellites. Amaze kept saying it couldn't connect. I'll see if I can find another free one to try.
  10. ok I'm looking it up now. will test and let you know.
  11. ok, installed 4.5.0.138 (downloaded from verizonwireless.com) The GPS option is now available in Blackberry maps. I'll test it on my way home to verify that it works. (option wasn't listed before upgrade of OS)
  12. I have an 8330 curve with 4.3 and its not available. I'm downloading 4.5 now and will report back if the GPS gets unlocked.
  13. You pay the interest on the subsidized loans when you exit school. its is only subsidized when you are in school.
  14. As the population increases, the taxes collected increases as well. Also, if Columbus keeps having to get an increase due to "the general cost of everthing" going up, you might as well just sign over your whole paycheck.
  15. I have both sub and unsub right now. I'm not paying anything. however, interest is accruing on the unsub and being added to the balance. When I graduate, the sub loan will be exactly the amount i borrowed. the unsub loan will be bigger. Both of my sub and unsub have the same interest rate.
  16. if i remember correctly, subsidized loans, the govt pays the interest on until 6 months after you exit school (graduate, quit, or less than x credits in a quarter) The do not have a lower interest rate.
  17. my point is if they are not excluded, someone is paying the taxes. The owner of the complex would likely raise the rent to cover the taxes anyway.
  18. Wouldn't the owner of the apt complex have higher taxes or are they excluded?
  19. I'm on SE side and have a pretty tight schedule. looks like Rob can help out better than I can.
  20. How bad is it stripped? 6 sides right? what side of town? I have SAE and Metric sockets + wrenches from Mac Tools that are supposed to work on up to 70% rounded bolts. I haven't tried 70%, but they worked where craftsman wrenches slipped.
  21. All my student loans are through the federal government. my graduate loans are fixed at 6.8%. I also have received an extra 1-3K over tuition each quarter for expenses like books, etc.
  22. Did anyone see this article about the cameras? "Jamie Holland received eight speeding tickets in the mail on Friday." hahaha. http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2009/07/27/heath.html?sid=102
  23. http://www.wheresmycellphone.com/ I'm sure that someone out there has written a script that exploits this website.
