  1. The graveyard one: was that multiple exposures blended or did you manage to use ambient light? If all of those are ambient light photos, your camera has some incredible dynamic range. What are you shooting with?
  2. No way? That's exactly what we're looking for. Was your buddy at Hatfield or Byers?
  3. Looked at an 09 Impreza for my mom. Other dealerships were taking thousands off the price of new cars. Byers Subaru told us that we would pay approx MSRP but they could offer low finance rates. Of course, which car did mom like?
  4. Paypal can (and sometimes will) hold onto your funds for up to 30 days. Sucks, but they've got to do it to protect the buyer and themselves.
  5. I sold a $100 gift card on ebay for $95. If you can stand to lose some money, ebay works well. Edit: realized this doesn't help you since you didn't want to sell. Don't know if this will help either, but I've got some gift cards that I would be willing to trade. Do you like Starbucks and Borders/Barnes and Noble?
  6. People who get violent when they drink should not drink.
  7. Update us on how things turn out. I've worked out 3 times a week for the past year (about 45 min sessions) and haven't noticed any major changes. Recently, I've been thinking about trying protein powder since all of my ripped friends are on it. I'm just concerned about side effects of whey protein and my health > building huge muscle.
  8. Times that you need a video camera: Vol 1.
  9. Personally, I'm not a big fan of Canons. Both cameras I've owned from them (one film, one D-SLR) proved unreliable for me. That aside, check your camera dial for a P or an M mode. In the M mode, you can set shutter speed (longer = better for night) and aperture (lower numbers = bigger = better for night). If you don't have an M mode, try the P mode where you can fool with iso settings (bigger = better but more grainy) and turn up the overall brightness. Not to be a dick, but you know to turn the flash off when taking distance photo's at night, right?
  10. Learned it from the hobos that use white bread to filter rubbing alcohol. A tenth the price of Everclear and just as delicious. True story http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=511506
  11. After Friday, even if you use it for copyright infringement, there isn't a problem! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122966038836021137.html rejoice.
  12. I like to thin my motor oil with water to save money. Those quarts of oil get expensive real quick. Also noticed that 3 slices of white bread work great to filter used oil. Strain it through the bread twice, and you're good for another 5k...

    fireworks

    Ten bucks says you won't have any left by the weekend. If it was my friends, they would ALL be gone in about an hour...
  14. I've got an HP on vista, and every day I wish that I had purchased a macbook...
  15. here is my social security number: 765-49-3402
  16. The new hybrid: Half fox half gas
  17. That's what I'm thinking. I do about half highway, half city. There was the one auto-x event before I got race slicks... Surely those 5 laps couldn't have taken 48,000 miles off.
  18. Didn't purchase them at his NTB and he shouldn't have to make up for it. This seems like more of an issue to take up with BFG... I think?
  19. Do tire manufacturers stand behind the warranties that they place on tires? I've got a set of BFG Traction TA's that only lasted 12,000 of their warranted 60,000 miles. Purchased the tires at NTB if that makes any difference... I was reading through the fine print on BFG's website, and it looks like they have plenty of ways to escape the warranty. They might get me because of uneven treadwear (the outsides are worn significantly more than the insides, even though my car had a fresh alignment and plenty of tire pressure).
  20. Sounds unlikely... link? I'm all for legalizing. Just wish that there was a "weed breathalyzer" to keep dui's in check.
  21. flagged for best of. great ad
  22. mmm roll up a fat barack
  23. looked like that driver's legs got shortened.... I don't care how many stars they get. Physics says that a smart car loses against a GMC Suburban. Even if the car manages to keep from getting crushed, the G forces experienced by the "smart" driver are way larger than the forces on the other driver.
  24. No way that car can be safe.... If i bought a car like that, I would not be looking for power numbers. I'd want to know what kind of fuel economy they are expecting?
