    Filson's Tin Cloth Owners, I have a Question

    Well, the Tin Cloth is called "oil finished", not "waxed" on their website. Maybe that should have been a clue. Really, if you are unhappy with it, and the tags are still on it, why not just return it instead of complaining about it? Filson's return policy is: "If you are not satisfied...

    Oh no....computer commits mutiny!

    The "video card" on a desktop computer that uses the computer's memory is generally just a chip on the motherboard. You can easily install a video card. You need to look at your documentation or go to HP's website and find out what kind of slot it has for a separate video card. Then you...

    Maybe it will be a musical! Or better yet, animated and in 3D! What a stupid idea. Tony

    Hurricane Sandy

    You know, being in California, I really prefer earthquakes. There is no notice, and then it's over. NOT like what we are seeing now on the east coast! I hope the Loungers at risk there come out all right. I'm worrying about you. Tony

    Pro and Cons of Mortgage Strategic Defaults.

    It is the so-called "bankers" who created this mess. And they were richly rewarded for doing so. As Vitanola pointed out, corporations violate contracts whenever it is advantageous. Why shouldn't individuals then not do the same? But, on the other hand, just what does this topic have to do...

    Pro and Cons of Mortgage Strategic Defaults.

    Maybe we should look to the Mortgage Bankers Association as an exemplar: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704829704575049111428912890.html Tony

    shouldn't use my fireplace? or get an insert?

    We bought a home and the chimney inspection showed a lot of cracks, so the fireplace was unsafe to use. We looked at the two alternatives: sealing the inside of the chimney with some kind of concrete; or putting in a natural gas insert. We did the latter, which was a little bit cheeper. It...

    The best of James Bond 007

    Well, Sean Connery was the first and set the tone for the rest. He is perhaps the best, but I rather like George Lazenby's presentation. lazenby was hard, but had a soft side, especially when Dianna Rigg got killed. If he wasn't such a jerk on the set, he could have done a few more 007 films...

    Hey Baron, Are you doing any kind of a thread about living in Hong Kong? I was there about 15 years ago (for 4 days) and loved it! Wondering how it is living there now. Thanks! Tony

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Thanks to this very long thread I heard about the Humphrey Bogart films Tokyo Joe and Sirocco. Never heard of them before. Found them both enjoyable - including the trench coats. Tony

    Classic 1950's Sci-Fi> Should we redo them today?

    Absolutely correct! There is no creativity in Hollywood anymore. It's all driven by ego's who think they know better than those who came before. The don't. Just throw in CGI and cut it real fast and add in some car chases and bullet hits. Very few remakes are any good. An exception was...

    Buzz Rickson MA-1 William Gibson Collection in Slender Review

    For a full appreciation of this jacket one must read "Pattern Recognition" by William Gibson. A rather haunting novel with very little going on - but with amazing atmosphere and a certain fixation with clothing. Tony
