    razor blade or electric shaver?

    I've used the latest greatest from Gillette pretty much all my life, but the discussions here have piqued my interest in a quality DE. Nothing would make my wife happier than me switching away from the pricey Fusion cartridges. Looks like even the highest rated DE blades are way cheaper. Is...

    Fancy new 1080HD LCD monitors, really?

    24" widescreen 1080p monitors are the perfect size. Granted I wear my reading glasses, but that's pretty much par for the course for everything these days. I've never been a fan of adjusting the DPI in Windows. If the fonts are too small, it's better to just get a bigger monitor. Increasing the...

    Shot (epidural) in the Back

    I had a compressed disk a few years ago that led to shooting pain down my right leg and eventually numbness in my foot. It seemed like I could only walk shorter and shorter distances without getting the pain and numbness. The first doctor I went to sent me to an anesthesiologist for a series of...

    Any Windows XP users?

    If all else fails, you can remove the hard drive from her computer and install it as a secondary drive on another computer running 2000/XP/Vista/Windows7. The first thing you should do at that point is backup any critical data.

    New to picking knives

    Focusing just on your price point and reading between the lines about what you're looking for in a knife, you might want to look at Spyderco Tenacious/Persistence.

    any gamers ?

    The PC version of Dragon Age Origins is a fantastic game. It has the best voice acting and character development I've ever experienced. Borderlands (PS3) is my current obsession.

    Need a torch with a floody beam

    I second the Malkoff M60WLF. It's incredibly useful for indoor/close-up.

    17670 won't fit in my new Quark 123^2

    When I first tried to push an AW 17670 into my 123^2 tube, I didn't think it fit either. Then I pushed a little harder and in it went.

    Headlight bulb burned out, change both?

    Except in cases of obvious premature failure, I always change the corresponding bulb in left/right pairs when one burns out for the reason Scheinwerfermann pointed out.

    How many of you actually NEED your fog lights?

    On my Q5, there are separate push button switches for the front and rear fog lights.

    How many of you actually NEED your fog lights?

    I just traded in a five year old Subaru and I never used the foglights once. My new Audi has both front and rear foglights. If I ever find myself in really heavy fog, I'll probably turn on the rear foglights, but the front ones probably won't see any more action than the Subaru's did.

    To serrate or to not serrate?

    Plain edge only because I've never mastered the art of sharpening serrations.

    Voltage |VS| mah

    What are you referring to when you say higher capacity batteries have lower voltage? AFAIK, an AW 16340 puts out the same voltage as an AW 18650. WRT lights getting brighter with higher battery voltage, it depends on the driver. For example, the Quark mini's aren't current regulated, so they...
