  • Technical Discussion Ideas

    Ok guys (and gals?). Time to pick everyone's brains so that we can really pick everyone's brains. Give me some suggestions for in-depth technical discussions you would like to have. Once I get a few, I will start a new thread once a week (may change, we'll see how it works out) for everyone to start discussing this specific topic. Lets get down and dirty with the discussions, get in there are rack everyone's brains on some topics.
