Today I was visited by a young man who claimed his brother was killed in Afghanistan. He claimed his brother was a Rifleman and gave the 0311 MOS. I don't recall the unit he claimed his brother was with.Something about his story just raised a red flag.The claim was he was raising money to send care packages to troops. I thanked him, told him I was sorry about his brother, but that I wanted to check the website first.The site on his "receipts" stated the charity's site was www.thepatriotproject.com (which I found didn't exist), but the man said it was...

Folks, several weeks to a couple of months ago, someone here on FR posted a link (within a thread) to a short video of North Korean defector Shin Dong-Hyuk. Mr. Shin grew up in a North Korean concentration camp - his parents were prisoners and he was born into the camp.I'm trying to locate that link to the video, but cannot seem to find the thread it was on. All of the other videos I can find of him on-line are too long to use for what I need (presentation). Any help on finding that thread and link is greatly...

Just got off the phone with wife. Mentioned the daughter of a lady she's working with in NH called the lady. Lady said daughter is in Tennessee (not sure where), but that news in TN is saying Obama is not a citizen because Obama was born outside US and mother didn't have required number of years in US for Obama to be citizen. Said there was actual proof.Can anyone in TN confirm and link? Said it was actual news source (TV, I'm guessing).

I have a late 2002 Dell Inspiron 2650 with two USB 1.1 ports. I am wanting to upgrade to be able to use USB 2.0. I know that doing so internally will require massive work not worth the effort. Is there a PC Card (I have one open slot) that will allow me to do this? I know my original ports will work with USB 2.0 periferals but will operate at 1.1 speeds.

I am moving to NH in the near future. Manchester, to be exact. I know there is no sales/income tax there. I also know there are higher property taxes to make up for the former. What can I expect as far as quality of life and the like? Fuel prices, food prices, entertainment, good vehicle to have, vehicles not recommended, leisure activities? I'm from the desert northwest (SW Idaho) and have rural sensibilities. My wife and I are anticipating the move and are looking forward to going.

Question: My pop bought an Olympus 4.0 megapixel digital camera. He likes to view the pictures from the camera on his 50+ inch HDTV. We plug the camera directly into the VCR and can view beautifully detailed and crisp pictures that fill the entire screen. However, it's cheaper to store them on CD than buy new chips.His DVD player can play CDs with JPEGs. So, I downloaded the files from the chip in the camera to a CD-ROM. We play the CD in the DVD player and the pictures are fuzzy.No change in the file, just a copy and paste....
