    Yeah, scott - $97 sounds like they actually went through your insurance in one way or another

    is the bluray hddvd war over?

    kongfuchicken, I have to giggle a little bit at your comment because with all of your DRM sentiment, you think that the most heavily locked down format (online digital media) will end up winning the war. Google a bit for the customers of NFL.com's video on demand service who paid to buy...

    is the bluray hddvd war over?

    Blockbusters nationwide that carry any high definition format are solely blu-ray, only their online rental has the hd-dvds, that decision was made a few months ago. Owning both players, my problem with hd-dvd is that there's no movies coming out at all that I want to see take a look at...

    is the bluray hddvd war over?

    or Maybe they didnt get a pile of money and did it because, on the SAME movies, completely apples-apples playing field, blu-ray was outselling their hd-dvd counterparts? =) oddly enough a lot of hd-dvds and blu-rays are not region coded - seems to be different by studio and movie, i'll see...

    Next-generation optical storage: what's the lowdown?

    I think next-gen optical is completely feasible at this point - still a little pricey but you're on the cutting edge, and the part that will really be getting cheaper is the media - so what if the drive drops $100 in the next 2 years, as long as the media gets to $2/50gb sooner than later A...

    is the bluray hddvd war over?

    I think that having Warner go with bluray exclusively (after having supported both formats equally up to this point) says a lot - it means for them, their movies were moving off the shelves faster in the blue case than in the red case. The HD-DVD method of giving away the player and charging...

    Do many people here use LinkedIn?

    And would anyone be interested in starting a CandlePowerForums LinkedIn group? It's a great "grown-up" professional social networking site - I know I'd much rather be working with someone with a flashlight addiction like myself than joe-maglite-user =)

    JetBeam Jet-II MK3

    so after having some more time to play with it - specifically in the dark - this stupid little light is growing on me. the throw is incredible comparing it to the flashlights i have of similar size (jetbeam mk1/mk2/mk2x), or even mag LEDs I still wish it was cooler looking though =)

    JetBeam Jet-II MK3

    got mine just now, after searching high and low for a CR123 (i'm out! what the hell), tried it for a few minutes is it nice? yeah. Am I impressed? No. I don't think the light is worth $80 ($78 shipped from bugoutgear). It's definately not as cool looking as the original pix that we got of...

    Most annoying part about your job.

    I'm on my 2nd job after college, and the things I like about this job are: much smaller company, manager is awesome, coworkers are great (one is actually one of my best friends from college, which is how I got the job), and we really are a team. Annoying: Friday I found out I needed to be in...

    Recommend Good Bluetooth Earpiece

    jawbone hands down if you ever need to take a call from home, an airport, or while driving their noise cancellation (for outside noises, eg road noise/radio in car/airport noises) is second to none
