Interesting thread. I'm surprised how many don't seem to get it.
This is my thought process. Think about what a tool uses for a reference.

Anyone see 'Colbert Report' a couple of nights ago? He talks about the USPS. To paraphrase, 'So the USPS is controlled by Congress but receives no money from them. They should be like Halliburton,...
That was great. I really enjoyed it. My wife came in at the end and said, "Oh, it's like 'How It's Made'." Well, sort of...

There are advantages to using a good SLR vs. P&S.
Will you notice them? It's similar to the woodworkers arguments/discussions about finishes. BLO, shellac, poly - Oh, my!
SLR has:
better lenses...
Attempting to stay on the straight and narrow...
Every once and a while I stumble on a quote that boils down to, "My generation is/was great, the younger generation sucks." Seems like every...
America's Test Kitchen likes the Chef's Choice 130 for a powered sharpener and the Accusharp for a more manual approach. I've used both and they work well. About $145 difference in price!

Does the mouse system preference look like the attached?

Does the mouse look like the one pictured? White with little grey sphere for the button (here labeled 'Button 3')?
If the...
Something is not right here. What version of OS?
In 2005 Apple discontinued it's 'Pro' mouse (no scroll button) and introduced the 'Mighty Mouse'. MM has a scroll button (1/4" sphere) and has...
Sounds like you need to shop for gifts in the Lie-Nielsen catalog!
Right click works fine on my Mac too. So does the scroll wheel (both up/down and left/right).
Don't know what Darius's issues are.
There is no 'X' on a Mac window so no you cannot 'x' out. But it...
Blll C.
Well I really like your signature. I've already had the lightning flash!
I see to remember it was about $28K with tax rebates and credits of about $7-8K. So net of $21K, or so. If...
There used to be a Bob Gideon on the list. Haven't seen him around in a while.
We went solar November of '07. We don't pay any electric bill. Used to be ~$2500/year. Your installer should be able to calculate payback years based on cost of your current power, rebates and...
How thick is the pre-finished? Is it finished on both sides? I have some 1/4in. that is finished on one side so regular wood glue would work. If yours is finished on both, there is a glue made for...
I placed an order on 2/16. At the end of March I got a '30 day notice' basically saying they don't know when it will ship.
There's a glue made for the pre-finished ply. Roo glue! Woodcraft has it.
Video still not working as of 5AM on 1/29.
We have that! My wife bought it because it's lo cal. I'm thinking 'the ultimate backpacking pnut butter'! I did try some dry a month or so ago. Think some is still stuck to the roof (ceiling?) of my...
We just (last November) installed a 4.2 Kw array. In California you can 'sell' back power to PG&E. During the summer peak hours (noon-6pm) we get 3x normal rate for excess but pay 3x for what we use....
Calvin,
The new season starts NEXT week on KQED (more pledge this week!). They don't leave out any of the season, just start one week late.
If you happen to get KRCB (Rohnert Park, Cotati PBS...
Ken, I don't believe Studor vents are designed for capping a thru the roof vent. They are for sinks that have no wall to run a vent in like kitchen islands. Their use is code thing, so check with...
Have you considered a new hobby? :)
I've had really great results with Target Coatings, Ultimate Spray Lacquer thru a Wagner HVLP gun. It's very forgiving, easy to cleanup and dries fast. It's a...
To me the most shocking thing in that article is that Berkeley has a ban on public nudity! :) I'm shocked to find they ban anything. :o
Not a stupid question, at all. In fact you answered it too!
Joe,
The problem you have is the door is an inset and an overlay door at the same time. This restricts what kind of hinges work. When the door opens the hinge has to push the door away from the...
