  1. Hey, are you going from instructions for this, or are you just winging it? I wouldn't mind doing something similar.

    I don't think there's much magic to it, you just need to have real candle wick to make it work. Just soaking string in wax to impregnate it with fuel won't work very well. Otherwise it's just find a vessel, heat wax and pour around wick. My mom used to recycle candles.
  2. I think the D5000 is going to hit a whole new level of fotm status with markl selling his R10 for one >:D I can already see the ipodpj posts praising it as the best headphone :P

    Saw that thread this morning and had similar thoughts. Of course it should also be accompanied by a mass sell-off of D5000's in a few months which might not be so bad for those of us who might want to give them a spin.
  3. you still sound pissy. i believe you are pissy. in fact, you have been pissy elsewhere today too. the shit you are selling is pretty much straight bs... slapping a label on me, saying i called you gay (which I did not), saying whatever point someone make i always spew back, and most of all not backing it up. what a baby, i twist one sentence and you are having a little hissy. what you don't realize is what i repeated back is applicable to you, though, you obviously don't like to hear that. i assume you aren't an idiot and know what the word "ambiguously" means? by reacting as you did demonstrates your own insecurities. you sure seemed to care about it. keeping telling yourself that... anyone can have gay friends, but that doesn't etablish shit. i am not worry at all, in fact, this is all extremely amusing.

    There, you got the last word, twice.
  4. no you called me... (keep it straight now) as bad a messup as he (billy) is (or something near exact to that)... i didn't call you gay, but the horror if it did. :o it is funny, though, because you obviously are more pissy over something i didn't even say. in fact, you were the first to use the gay word in this thread. what do you have against gay people? you're not homophobic, are you? just keep repeating more of your own bs, beguiled by a pic that meant to imply a fantastic duo that isn't doing anything gaylike unless you think two guys shaking hands is gay. perhaps you took my "pic" the wrong way and a bit too seriously due to a previous sensitivity about an issue. double standards are so telling about ones credibility. you continue to sell shit without backing it or just make shit up. absolutely precious.

    I'm not pissy in the slightest and I'm not sure what "shit" it is that I'm selling. Otherwise I'm done, I'm not going to try and argue with you further since your entire tactic consists of taking whatever point someone is trying to make against you and then saying the exact same thing (see above quoted post). So there you go, have the last word if you'd like.

    For the record, the picture you posted is the "Ambiguously Gay Duo", but I don't really care about that. I'm secure enough in my manhood and have enough friends of all persuasions to not have to worry.

  5. your opinion about my opinions are off base <snip>

    I called you a messup, the horror of such a thing. You the proceeded to called me gay, unless you don't know who the folks are in the picture you used and also questioned my credibility in general. I'd say I was being a bit more jovial about the situation, wouldn't you? Perhaps you took my "messup" comment a bit too seriously due to a previous sensitivity about an issue.
  6. what else would you say ::)

    What else should I say? My opinion of you, based on observed behavior (that you clearly don't agree with) is that generally when you start an argument you have no point. So why would I continue to argue with you? You've already called me gay, so we're clearly past the point of reason, and consequently why would I think anything meaningful as far as debate is concerned would come about after that?
  7. Why there has to be this shouting match between us nate I don't get.

    I'm not shouting.

    If anyone is a hypocrite it is you. You are polite, respectful, hell even helpful when posting to my threads in the other world. If you friends were allowed to read what you say there vs here maybe you wouldn't be in the "cool" club!
    I do not discriminate who I will or will not help on the basis of whether or not I agree with how they conduct themselves. Help is to be given, not withheld. Nor do I conduct myself much differently at HF, the reality is that it is simply not acceptable to speak openly there so I choose not to stir up poop for the sake of stirring it up. When given the opportunity I will always respond honestly.

    Bashing RSA etc here to be in the "cool" club is sad. Were you picked on as a kid or something?

    Nope, I'm a normal well adjusted guy. And I don't really bash Ray, I'm pretty objectively critical of a lot of the manufacturers. I can understand that you haven't read much around here to know that but that's the truth of it.

  8. no not really it's pretty much the same, but you are full of unfounded assumptions... not an original thought, throws a label out, not related, but as others it's unsupported.

    Wake me when you stand behind an opinion, even one that isn't yours.

    That VU meter in your sig always reminded me of how I think you change your opinion back and forth, back and forth. It's a most appropriate graphical representation of you.

  9. Yeezh.

    It's one of the big reasons to avoid LCD HDTV's. Most manufacturers accept that there may be multiple bad pixels in a given display and will not warranty them as defective. At least my Sony, which uses three small LCDs simultaneously is more forgiving since if one color goes bad it'll be masked by the other two.
  10. Are you serious? That sucks. With the amount of money spent on those things, you'd think they'd be able to get it right. Isn't it just a memory location in the controller? Or is it the LCD itself?

    As far as I understand it the problem is the transistors. And the real problem is that they can't test for bad pixels until the display is complete and at that point the only option is to approve it for use or toss it completely. If they rejected every display that had a bad pixel (hot, dead, colored, whatever) prices would be significantly higher.
