    linpus linux????

    Yeah, wubi = bad idea. Either go with Windows, Ubuntu (Really the only linux I think is fit for everyday home users), or both. But if you do decide to dual boot you should do it yourself (install Windows first on one partition, then Linux second.) btw, some of the guys said you can dual boot...

    Canon rebel t3 or t1i?

    I'm not a big fan of the Rebel series, but If I had to choose between the two I'd probably go with the T3, if only because it's newer. Also remember that more megapixels isn't necessarily better, especially in budget cameras. High megapixel budget cameras tend to be noisy on high ISO settings...

    .deb vs rpm

    deb and rpm are just two different methods of doing basically the same thing. different distros use different methods because... well because they're different distros. I like deb better. Ubuntu is more or less the easiest linux out there.. my mom used it no problem before she bought a mac...

    linpus linux????

    unless you're just getting it for basic web browsing, maybe some word processing and stuff I doubt if you'll be happy with it. it's a preference thing really, but if you're a first time user you can probably plan on some headache. mind, what the guy above said IS true, but I would at least...

    Can't decide between cameras

    Fuji cameras are pretty good, I used to own one (an S700) and really liked it for what it was. All of those brands are great though.

    What all does iTunes backup?

    I'm getting ready for the iOS4 update on my iPod, and the computer I'm using to do the upgrade isn't the one I originally synced my iPod with, the original computer is all screwed up, so the copy of iTunes I'm using doesn't have all the music that's on my iPod in it's library. My question is, if...

    *Official* Post Your Pictures Thread

    This place is literally within walking distance of my house. There's turtles, snakes, and armadillos all over the place, along with tons of palm trees (I haven't processed the pictures of that yet, but there's places in the reserve where they're literally everywhere) and cacti. I heard some...

    No, the D3000 doesn't have live view.

    Canon EOS 1000d or Nikon D3000

    imho the guide mode really isn't that great on the D3000, but then again I had already had experience with full manual mode when I got my D3000. Even so, I prefer the D3000 over the 1000D. As far as live view is concerned You probably won't find yourself using it very much (if at all), so you...

    Cigarette lighter for laptop power

    oh... well, I'm sure my brother will be happy to hear that. :P But will it be safe to run both laptops on it? If they require too much power what'll happen?

    Cigarette lighter for laptop power

    Well I decided to go with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AI0OF/ref=ox_ya_oh_product One of my brothers wanted to run his laptop on the same inverter as I'd be using (the car only has one cigarette lighter) so me, my brother, and another of my brothers are splitting the cost three...

    Cigarette lighter for laptop power

    Yeah, but it's possible I missed it. I can always check again, Walmart is right at the end of my neighbourhood. And yeah, I found out about the C2D rig, it's 90W, so it won't work. I'll have to check Radio Shack though, I never thought about that. Thanks for the help. :)

    Cigarette lighter for laptop power

    Well, I couldn't find one at Walmart, but Advance Auto Parts did have two. They had a 70W and a 200W. The 70W was $25, and the 200W was $55. I really don't want to pay $55 for one (and I probably won't if it comes to that.) So I know the 70W inverter will power my netbook, but I don't have a...

    Cigarette lighter for laptop power

    Well, it's a netbook, so it's super-low power. The maximum power draw (everything maxed) on my particular netbook model is 32W. Anyway, I'll have to run up to Walmart tomorrow and see what they've got.

    Cigarette lighter for laptop power

    Okay, should something like this do the trick then? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834997433&cm_re=power_inverter_car-_-34-997-433-_-Product I just want to make sure I don't fry my netbook or the adaptor. :P

    Cigarette lighter for laptop power

    Hey, I'm going to be driving down to Florida in a week or so (I'm moving down there) so I'll be in a car for about 24 hours with nothing to do (snore), so I was wondering, is there any way that I can safely plug my netbook into the cigarette lighter of the car. What'd be the best adaptor to use...
