If a woman wants to offer to pay, that's her prerogative. That said, when the check arrives, I pick it up with the full intention of paying. If someone else offers to pay part of it, or all of it, we can have that discussion then. But I will always reflexively pick up the check on anything even remotely resembling a…

Female here. First date with someone, if he asks for the date he pays and vice versa. If there are any subsequent dates then second and maybe third date 50/50 by prior agreement but if he puts up a strong argument that he pays then I let him and I take care of the tip. Once it gets regular then we alternate no matter…

That's probably really smart advice. I've caught myself several times (and I'm certainly an amateur, I'd never deign to call myself a professional) spending so much time thinking about whether I should switch lenses from my backpack when I should really just spend more time shooting and getting familiar with my…

Professional photographers carry multiple bodies when they need multiple lenses.

I use handbrake but installed freemake after all the votes it got here. Wow that's a lot of crap ware it installs

And lots of other 'video converters' are actually front-ends for ffmpeg and a couple of other tools :D

It's actually safer for the motorcyclist to ride in between lanes like that. They have more places they can be in order to avoid and accident; however there are bad cyclists out there who just use it to speed and they make the rest of us look bad.

Most computers come with a traditional HDD, so if/when you upgrade to a SSD keep the old HDD for extra storage/applications! I basically keep my Windows install on my SSD plus applications I use a lot and then have all my games, music, movies, and other apps on the HDD. This way you can use a smaller SSD. You…

I've been doing this for many years now.

I think the biggest advantage of DSLRs is also the one that is unfortunately used the least: the ability to change lenses. If you aren't planning on changing lenses, don't bother with a DSLR; get a decent point-and-shoot. It doesn't cost a lot to get Canon's "Plastic Fantastic" 50/1.8 (around $120 new), and I…

Honestly, there is great software on both sides.

BAH GAWD KING. SOMEONE STOP HIM. HE HAS A FAMILY!

Gilettes blades dont hold up well to humidity in island countries....
I nominate the schick brand as most of their blades are
1)made in germany
2)have DLC coating tech which makes them extremely sharp for a very long time and much more rust reisitant than gilette

I am a Texan and am APPALLED by this video. This is the dark ages coming back, folks, no doubt about it. She did nothing legally wrong. She broke no protocol. But we are so ass backwards here that if you say something the government doesn't like, you get not-so-politely hauled away. It's scary and offensive and WRONG.

Schooled in Texas? No wonder the Texas GOP opposes the teaching of critical thinking in schools (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-s…). Just look what happens when you teach people to think.

I think most pros would likely opt for a graduated ND filter before they'd go the HDR route, unless they're specifically into the HDR thing.

Delicious with liver and a nice Chianti

Yeah I am a jack of all trades kind of guy but, I seem to generally be most proficient in related fields. Electronics, computers, guitars, woodworking, etc. they all kind of tie in and complement eachother.

The brand name drug actually DOES work better for some people due to the placebo effect. Go figure...

Definitely generic if you ask me. I buy the crappy little off brand Sudafed and antihistamines and they work perfectly fine for me and MUCH cheaper. My wife SWEARS that the brand named Advil works much better for her than say Western Family or other cheaper and/or generic brand. I don't take much and the generic works…
