    Don't know where the fuel is stored but I'll answer this one. Thermonuclear reaction engines basically provide power, as in electricity. That electricity is used to heat your propellent. In atmosphere, that propellent would be air, like any real-life modern jet engine. In space, there is no air. So they need something to propel themselves with. That would be some kind of chemical propellent (think rocket).

    Apparently Amazon has slipped the Blu-ray/DVD release date. Amazon Germany is reporting September 13. Other sources are citing September 25. We'll get 3 versions: DVD, 2-disc Bluray combo, and 4-disc Bluray/DVD special edition. source: ‘The Avengers’ Blu-Ray & DVD Release Date; Box Art Revealed (ScreenRant.com) Marvel's The Avengers - September 25, 2012 (Blu-ray.com Forums)

    Stick to the topic folks: Avengers.

    Try it on low-light shots.

    Weren't the toys on display at toy conventions all year? I'm sure the toys were ready. 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Director Jon M. Chu on Not Shooting in 3D, Addressing Studio Notes (Hollywood Reporter) So he's blaming the studio for short-changing him on funding and now he has to go back and edit it back into 3D. Yeah, I would call BS on this whole debacle, if I had any plans on watching this flick.

    To paraphrase what someone on another forum said... Unfortunately it will be sometime next year to see it play out with Unicorn v. Banshee in animated goodness. Or maybe a another year...thanks a lot Episode 7.

    To any Canon DSLR shooter Official Discontinued List Since they announced the Speedlite 600EX-RT, the death of the 580EX II was kinda expected. If you can find a markdown 580EX II, I would consider grabbing it.

    Besides the scene from the previews (i.e., your avatar), no.

    Feels a bit too much off the top. Or crop the sides.

    I'd probably go with the 24-105mm as well. You're probably gonna get about the same focal range from both so it will probably come down to other factors, as mentioned, like build quality or accessories. I have the previous generation EF 28-135mm and yes, it's not the best lens. It's decent but eventually, you'll want something better.

    You referring to the Tamron lens right? Or are you referring to original EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM? Cuz the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM isn't out till July(?). That's one of the selling points to me with either the Tamron or upcoming Canon 24-70mm lens. Shooting a lot indoors and at night no less has me wishing for a f/2.8 lens. My other option is the EF-S 17-55mm IS USM but I've heard of problems with cleaning.

    I'll just leave this here: Has Spidey's Origin Been Drastically Altered In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN?

    Most (read nearly all) DSLRs have 30-sec cap on the shutter speed. You can adjust for that by opening the aperture as far as you can go or bumping the ISO up really high. Now for my question... Any shooters have any thoughts on the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A007)? The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is (as far as I've seen) priced out of my price range for what I want to spend.

    Not really. Their fate has been kinda left untouched. And for the most part, Peter was fine without them. The defining point in Peter's life was the death of Uncle Ben so I'm not sure why they are playing up the parent issues for this movie. I never read the Ultimate-version of the character so I don't know if it was played up there.

    Unfortunately, it looks like Episode 6 has been pushed to Spring 2013 (i.e., probably means a extra month or 2) compared to every 8 months which would have put it at the edge of Feb/March 2013.

    An iPhone 4S perhaps? A Nikon S3300 or a S2600...Maybe even a S100? A Canon A2300? ELPH 110 HS? A Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH-6? DMC-S2? BTW, if this gonna be "Everything Photography" at least geek it up and list the camera model you use to take the pic. And if you're using a DSLR, you should be listing at least the model and lens you used to take the pic.

    You can try a test with Memtest but I think I don't think it's the RAM. It could be that your CPU or even GPU is a lemon. So reapplying the thermal paste probably won't work since it could be a manufacturing issue (it's rare but it does happen).

    Just because someone else posts the same entry zip code doesn't mean you can't enter to win tickets yourself. Any user (following the rules above) can enter. So if you want to enter the drawing, go ahead. You may beat out the other person in the same zip code area. We're drawing entries based on the user, not the zip code (the zip code is just how we are, geographically, limiting the contest).
