  1. Oh yah ... the same story over and over ... guy the evil, girl the all so holy and the "victim". When will girls take off their "victim" shoes and stop blaming everyone else? Whether he didn't like you, wasn't ready for a relationship, had someone else in mind, is gay, has career plans, etc etc etc ... what difference does it make? It just wasn't going to work out. Plenty more fish in the see and life goes on. Stop thinking of yourself as the victim. If you do, then you become one.

  3. Half Naked? I wanna seee If your cam has a manual mode (not automatic), go in options, set the exposure levels to max (+2 for me). Play around with ISO speeds. Mine has a night mode ... gotta use a tripod for these ... Mine also has this delayed flash mode where it opens the shutter, then after a bit fires the flash. This way it can get the dark background and then pick up the foreground. The other feature I use is the focus lock. I point the camera at the object I want to take a picture of. Then lock the focus (special button sequence), then I move the camera so that I get the scene I want. This way, you get the scene you want but the focus is on the object you are interested in. As you can see in the pic above, I had the shutter open too much and the moon and the other lights got saturated.
  4. http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/Sip/misc/sip_moon.jpg Me messing around with the camera a few minutes ago outside my house. After looking at the pics on the PC, I realized I did not set the settings the way I should have but still the outcome was not too bad. Too bad it's a bit too cold for me to go out and play some more ... (9F right now)

    Your Favourite Opera

    Careful now ... someone searching for Jackson's boob might end up here some day I have to admit ... I skipped over this thread as I didn't think I would have anything relevant to say. Also, keep in mind that there are often a lot of lurkers that read but don't necessarily participate (or even register in the forum)... and hyeforum threads are known to have shown up on google searches too! So you never know who might be reading what you say.

    Your Favourite Opera

    Ok let me put it this way ... Between Opera and any of Janet Jackson's body parts or even "performances", I would pick Opera on any given day of the week and twice on Sunday. So now why I don't like, or more precisely, don't listen to, Opera ... it's because it requires too much patience and time. Plus it's somewhat hard for me to jam to opera while driving ... it doesn't have a repetitive mindless rhythm or easy to follow or easy to sing to melodies. I tried to sing along with Mozart's magic flute once in the car and I lost my voice for 3 days. I mostly listen to music in the car while driving. I like it loud, I like it to pound, and I like to feel it all the way into my spine when the BASS hits. That would explain the roughly 1000 Watts of RMS power I have pumping into my speakers ... Opera just doesn't do it for me. I hope that answered your question and showed the level of my short attention span and shallownees when it comes to music. P.S: I learned of this thread from the impressions of the day thread so that was a clever move to advertise it over there. <--- smilie just for you Anoushik
  7. I agree with you Steve ... though I also know that wanting and knowing the importance of acknowledging the scholarly voice won't make it any match for the power of the popular belief. God knows how many times I have cringed hearing people say how materials with darker colors absorb more heat ... or how year 2000 was the beginning of the 21st century ... after a while one just gives up trying to swim up stream Edit: I don't know about the Hitler quote so my comments in this thread are not regarding the existence or fabrication of the original quote.
  8. Connecting the Armenian genocide to the Jewish hollocaust is not a bad idea I don't think. People who have never heard of Armenians will be much more sympathetic to hear what happened as the Jewish event is sooooooo well publicized in the world. Hitler and his comment (alleged or not) simply provides that link. Who cares what the scholars think? Most often popular opinion is what shapes political landscapes and this is one means through which the popular opinion (of the masses at large) can be shaped.

    Ok one step at a time Clear cover is under my desk somewhere .... probably never to be used. No need for second fan as the case is at 80 degrees and hasn't heated up above that No second DVD burner as I haven't even used this one yet! Yes I got the front panel to work! Firewire, 2 USBs AND audio ... mic and headphones PLUS ... my motherboard talks when I boot up!!! Of course it was the first feature I disabled as it was very annoying. But still, this is the first motherboard I have ever had that could talk

    Very nice Eve ... but fair is fair so here's mine. http://s93725736.onlinehome.us/Sip/misc/pc.jpg Here are the specs: AMD XP3200+ CPU (200Mhz external clock with x11 multiplier ~2.2Ghz) Asus A7N8X-E motherboard 400Mhz FSB Corsair XMS 6-2-3-2 DDR RAM running at FULL speed (synced with CPU FSB with actual CA2 timing!) ... with heat sink. Asus 9600XT (Radon-based) Video card with AGP 8X and 128MB onboard SRAM running at 499 MHz internally and 594 Mhz DDR memory speed 200 GB Western Digital 7200RPM SATA drive (main) 80GB Maxor 7200RPM Drive 300 GB external Firewire Maxtor drive (for backups) Plextor DVD Rom +/-RW CDR/RW Audio: Onboard Nvidia nForce with 6 channel digital encoding Speakers: Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 5.1 (with digital decoder) All speakers independently signaled through digital connection (dolby) I have run it through 30 hours of Microsoft HCL stress tests as well as FutureMark continuous 3DMark and SysMark tests and since I ditched the crappy Kingston RAM for the Corsair XMS, the system has been ROCK solid!!! The video card has a video in and is dual head (DVI and analog) so it is also serving as my television at the moment.
