    Help a noob.

    If you want to zoom in closer to an object using a camera phone and retain semi decent image quality, get up and walk closer to it. (and no, I'm not trying to be a smartass... :) ) Digital zoom just works on extrapolation of each pixel so you're going to lose image quality if you use digital...

    looking for a reliable source for LiIon batteries

    A lot of the folks on the photography forums seem to like Sterlingtek. (they have an eBay store as well as their own website). I've personally only used them once and wasn't real happy with the battery but maybe it's a one off) I usually use Lenmar branded batteries. Somewhat better than...

    Question about wheel locks bought from dealer

    I believe the Honda stock ones are made by McGard (at least for my Acura TSX they were). They were able to send me a key just based on a picture of the locking nut. Cost around $16 or so for the key if I remember correctly. You might want to give that a try if the dealership route doesn't...

    Airline question: Connecting flights

    If you're concerned about it being on one ticket, why not book it as a "multi-city" ticket. (I know United offers this) In any case, if you're checked through at your original departure point (i.e. at City B, they give you a boarding pass for City B, A and C, then they'd rebook you. My guess...

    Is AT&T BS-ing me? Can GSM connect to tower 30mi away?

    I'm not sure about the iPhone since I've never owned one, but on my Blackberry, there's the option to use network time vs keeping time on the handset. Maybe check to see if there's a similar feature to that on the iPhone? You could probably use that too to see if the network time is actually...

    One thing about working at NCIX, you see a lot of people who are loaded.

    I was just there last week. I think all the NCIX's are all filled with nerdy Asian guys (workers and shoppers). Wasn't there a white guy working at the Kingsway branch a while back as well?

    What VOIP service do you use?

    Thanks! I did try X-lite a while back but for some reason it wouldn't connect to the voip.ms servers. I gave up after about 5 minutes though. I'll have to revisit it and try it again.

    Relative being ass holes or us being stingy?

    I think most family members would find a way to make it work when it comes down to family. I know I would. I don't think anyone is being stingy - it sounds more like the less wealthy family members are trying do take the more financially responsible path. $500 a month on top of a mortgage...

    Eneloop AA's have the oomph to power my digicam?

    If I'm not mistaken, the Duracells are actually rebranded Eneloops - they're made in Japan, the casing is exactly the same as the Eneloops - the only thing being a different sticker on the outside. I know a lot of folks on Candlepower Forums have looked into it and can confirm. Thomas...

    Woman using oxygen therapy died following a power shutdown

    I don't know if it's the same in the US as it is in Canada, but I remember my grandfather was on one of those oxygen machines as well. (I'm assuming it's the same kind). In addition to the oxygen machine which operated off electricity, he was provided with a portable unit (which is basically a...

    What VOIP service do you use?

    Same here. On the same topic, what's a good SIP client for Windows? So far I'm just using it on my iPod Touch when I'm travelling in a roaming area using Acrobits but haven't really seen any decent Windows clients.

    I am addicted to "She's out of my League"

    Haha, yeah...it kinda reminded me of that scene in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle where Kumar in standing in the bathroom trimming his pubes with Harold's nose trimmer. The movie I like watching over and over again? Van Wilder. (the first one, not the sequels)

    Polarized vs. Non-Polarized sunglasses

    I love my Maui Jim's too. What's the issue with the weight? My Maui Jim's are VERY light (although mine are the plastic frame, polycarbonate lens so that might be the reason). I third/fourth the issue with viewing LCD's with polarized glasses. It's a bit annoying, especially when you're...

    Anyone here do PC repairs on the side? How much do you charge?

    I only fix computers for immediate family and friends for free. They gotta bring their PC to me otherwise I ain't fixing it. (unless of course I happen to be at their place) I really only have one person who takes advantage of this - they're actually just a friend of a friend - they only...

    Santa Clara/San Jose AT'ers - travel question for you

    Well, right now it seems to be the cheapest option. $18 and change return trip, and $2 each way for transit from Santa Clara to San Jose. I'll check out the Cal-Train. I think what he was looking for was something with perhaps a little more flexible hours. With all the transit options...

    Santa Clara/San Jose AT'ers - travel question for you

    Well, that's the thing - he doesn't have a drivers license so renting a car is out of the question. The 2 hours is taking transit - not driving. It's looking more like he's going to have to take a train out there. Greyhound also seems to be a pretty cheap option as well. (Greyhound from...

    Santa Clara/San Jose AT'ers - travel question for you

    My Google skills have failed to find me an answer so I'm turning to the wise folks of AT. My brother is heading down to Santa Clara (staying at the Hyatt in Santa Clara for a conference). We're trying to find a tour company that does day trips/tours out to San Francisco and would pick up...

    I'll pay somebody to get me something.

    You might want to be specific on what you want shipped up here... :D Like D1gger mentioned, it looks like they'll ship anywhere. I guess the big issue is cost. Are you in Vancouver? I go down to the US pretty often (about once a month or so) and if it's small and you're willing to cover the...

    lost reciepts from business trip?

    My guess is that a big chunk of that is probably hotel expense and car rental expense. Most hotels will fax you a copy of your receipts without any problems, and car rental you may be able to get an e-receipt from their website if you need one. (Avis e-mails me a receipt every time after I...

    My parents want to go on a cruise to Alaska in 2011

    Where you depart from will depend on the cruise company. I think almost all of them depart from Vancouver, with Carnival being the exception. (from Seattle) Most of the major cruise lines are pretty good. I guess Carnival would maybe be the only one to avoid, although to be honest, I've been...

    Are PT Cruisers big in the US?

    I seem to get one of these every time I rent from Avis in Denver. I must have really pissed someone off at the rental agency for them to rent this to me every single time. I'd have to guess that 99% of these cars are rentals. I don't see how anyone in their right mind would buy this car...

    Leaked recording at US/Canada border

    Just listen to the last minute of it. You'll hear him shit his pants as he realizes he's getting locked up. The clank of the cell door closing at the end just tops it all off.

    Leaked recording at US/Canada border

    Being a Canadian that crosses into the US and back on a regular basis, I've found that Canadian border agents are just as bad, if not worse than US agents. I wouldn't be so quick to assume that Canadian border agents are any nicer than a US agent.

    ebay definition of brand new

    Based on the manual, it's not just a set of AA's that you throw into the box. It's a proprietary battery. Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see where in the manual it says the battery is an option. Actually, they make it quite clear in the manual that the battery is in the box. I don't know how...

    Leaked recording at US/Canada border

    For those of you that think the US border agent was on a power trip - how do you propose the questioning should have went? Do you think your approach would have weeded out potential threats any better than how the agent questioned? I'm willing to bet these questions are prepared questions (as...

    Leaked recording at US/Canada border

    How is asking what city the outlet in a retarded question? Sounds like a reasonable question to me. Even then, sure think about it and answer it. He wasn't able to answer it. The wife did. Sure I've driven places where I don't know where I'm going but over the border isn't one of them...

    Leaked recording at US/Canada border

    If you listened carefully, you'll realize that he didn't even know the outlet was in Niagra Falls. His wife had to tell him. I'm not saying you have to know the address, but you should at least know the general area of where it is. Not knowing where you're going IS suspicious behaviour...

    Leaked recording at US/Canada border

    Crossing into another country is a privilege - not a right. This douchebag needs to realize that. The have every right to ask you what you're doing there down to the most intricate detail if it's to protect their country. He raised suspicion when he couldn't tell the border guard where the...

    Does anyone have their own set of dentist tools?

    I've got one of these (http://www.waterpik.com/oral-health/products/countertop-dental-water-flosser/WP-100/). My dentist recommended it because I had deep pockets in my gums. For $60 it isn't too expensive and does a pretty decent job.

    DIY Photo Booth help

    Good point. :D I wouldn't want to spend too much out of pocket for what equates to a favour either. The CHDK firmware works for a lot of the Canon P&S cameras if that's something you already have. I figure if you're going to go to the work of setting it up, it would be nice to get some nicer...

    DIY Photo Booth help

    How about an acutal digital camera for shots? I was at a wedding recently and they were using a Canon G10 with hacked firmware (CHDK) for PC operation. Might be a better option than using a webcam so you can get some higher quality pics. Maybe pair it up with an UWA lens so you can squeeze...

    Vancouver Canada members

    What area are you in? I'm going to assume downtown/convention centre area. If you've only got half a day, then I'd suggest taking a quick trip around Stanley Park. Take a walk jog/along the seawall and the Coal Harbour area. Hit up downtown afterwards to get a meal. Plenty of restaurants...

    Official American Idol Season 9 thread.

    Neither of them are sexy in my eyes...but then they're not nearly as successful as say Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson or Chris Daughtry. All 3 of those singers definitely are considered attractive and very marketable to AI's target market. I'm not saying Crystal's ugly or anything...yeah...
