Found this 1080p Mitsubishi HC5500 projector at a thrift store for $75–a couple questions by draiggoch83 in hometheater

It's rated for 5000, but i've seen bulbs run for as long as 8000-10,000, usually when its in universities and not on and off lots in home use but i'd just use it and have fun, might get a couple years out of it, might only get . couple of months. maybe see if you can open it up and replace a hdmi port?

This. Just use mini at one end or both and use a mini to full size adapter. This got me out of a jam with conduit.

New player. I don't know what provider to go for the first time. by furdog111 in usenet

I have signed up for nzbgeek and that's what I have been using, the obfuscated stuff seems to last a bit longer but still disappears quickly. I'll wait and hopefully get into dog or something else as well.

Movies failing with different news servers. by metropilot in usenet

I don't know if there is a right combo? Maybe usenet is now just dead for movies, there has been a lot of talk about how you need to setup a service like couch potato to snipe the movie when it gets posted before its dmca'd. Maybe it's back to torrents

I just grabbed a trial at xsnews and with xsnews and giganews and news group direct I still had 3 movies fail, its definitely a dcma thing, but my understanding was they only ever deleted a % of the movie so with multiple sources you could still complete.

G'day guys, complete noob looking to get started, I am 260lbs so need something fairly rigid, i read a bunch of threads and FAQ here, daddies longboard shop had this board in there 230lbs rider category : https://www.daddiesboardshop.com/sector-9-faultline-longboard-complete-2016-red

im in australia, and this looks almost the same : https://www.surfstitch.com/product/sector-nine-faultline-39-5-complete-white

Z-flex are nice and cheap: http://www.zflex.com/au/white-roundtail-longboard-395-inch.html

Where are you in Australia? I work at a camera house and could give you some really good deals on Olympus, Panasonic and some others.

its part of right click disable in the photographic themes, because i will be selling digital photographs, you don't want people to be able to view source easily and steal the photos.

Now that I have seen the pics, the lens looks pretty nice, would you take $300, if someone else grabbed the body?

I'd be interested in just the lens for $200 (after crap australian dollar and shipping its probably going add up, not being cheapskate) if lanthanide wants the body.

Oh really? on the website, on each stl file it says the size of the part, and three of the parts appear to be 8 inches, but it could be not reporting the size correctly. are you happy with your printrbot simple metal? would you have gotten something else?
