Wasn't there a whole list of Mertonisms? As much as I really hated that guy, kinda felt sorry for him in some twisted way. Everything he said though would work in this thread.. Wait.. found it: http://nameless.ca/stash/mertonisms.txt Quote: Originally Posted by Merton put...

Wow.. IQ is probably one of those things that people have the highest opinion of themselves about. Probably the top three.. among morality and social skills. I'm also sure that the more IQ tests you take, the better you will score each time.

I'll have this to say: Americans who think America is "colour-blind" have never been to Canada. As for Asians (I rarely use this term anymore, I always use the term "mongloid" half as a joke instead), there seems to be a concentration of us in the city I live in, Richmond, which is in BC...

I was just wondering if there were any forums or websites that are like a "Head-Fi" for photograph/turntable items. My dad is quite the vinyl freak (he has a lot of vinyl records and stuff), and he also has a large collection of vintage turntables. He often asks me to look for the value of...

Got offers from several people, but I forgot to mention that I already got one form elsewhere.. Sorry, and thanks ! You can take me off the list ! Kelvie

Wow, with all this support for TA, I am seriously thinking about buying this game. Anyways, is it still available anywhere? I live in Canada. I was thinking if it were cheap, I'd purchase four copies, and we'd play LAN. A few more questions. How does the online multiplayer work...

I, for one, really love Mondays. There are many services that just can not be found on weekends. Such as couriers, the post office, customer service for many companies. Weekdays are the days when things can actually get done. I, for one, loathe weekends. I don't mind relaxing though...

A hell of a lot of zerglings would do the trick against any side :P

I'm personally waiting to see Switzerland vs USA again in tennis..

Wow.. you guys and your neat rooms... Not even going to bother trying to clean up before snapping a pic.

Okay.. ongoing problem with firefox. I click on an extension to install.. and sometimes it would ask me to open it or save to a file instead of just popping up the installer. I have 0.9.0+. What do I do? Also.. what extensions are recommended? [now it says that plugins can't be...

Thanks for all the help...... but as university is nearing.. I think I may have to spring for an Acer Ferrari 3200 laptop instead (athlon64!). Quite pricy...

Yeah, I've heard about the hack (as I mentioned in my earlier post), but to the best of my knowledge, are not ALL the custom menu features working? And the problem with the lens thing is, I really don't have enough money to buy another lens in the next 2 years or so, but I still would like a...

Wow.. now I've narrowed it down to the D70 or the 300D... any new cameras coming out in this price range I should wait for? The price for the D70 is indeed pretty steep.. I'd have to save a bit longer to get it (or perhaps to wait for the price to drop). I'm going into university in about...

Oh, and also, the Pro1 isn't a SLR, I believe; what are the main advantages to having an SLR camera over one that is not? (Also, I'm asking here instead of a digital camera forum because on those forums they have probably heard every single one of these questions and grow tired of answering...

Interesting.. will the Pro1 take pictures right away (like for sports and stuff), or will it lag a little as have been the case with previous digital cameras I've tried before? Also.. the rebel also.

I know this isn't the right forum, but the layout of the dpreview.com forums are just terrible. I was just thinking of buying a digital camera. I want to take really good pictures, and also have a lot of features, as I plan to make digital photography one of my hobbies in the future...

KSC-35s of course... everyone had those when I joined.. back when mrtibbs from headwize was selling them in bulk for 20 bucks each. (Nice guy, mrtibbs was)

Well.. alright. I got some 30 gauge magnet wire from the RatShack. A few problems remain.. I don't know where to get an iron rod. I was thinking to get a 4cm diameter 30cm length iron rod (preferably the 49 Iron-Nickel Alloy composite), bent into a U shape; but I do not know of any...

Hmm... they dumbed down the voltage to 6V, with an unknown current. Would it be a good idea to go out and spend on a few lith. polymer batteries to get it up to 6V.. then create a circuit that would put it in parallel with the supplied 6V charge? Or would that fry the batteries? And I...
