google is your friend LM :D. As I've stated before, otherworldcomputing seems to get them within the 1st week of shipping availability to 3rd part vendors, check with them if you're in a big hurry. Re: Seagate Momentus 7200.4 Next Quarter...

Truly 'end of the world' :D. The stock market is still trending downwards, so I might as well make the rest of your day by this 'reality bites' disclosure :p Now all of you SF's who voted for Obamaman, specially Merc; you all would like to recend your votes now? I'm thinking most of the SF's...

Ericsson: cellphones to record 1080p by 2012 http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/11/07/ericsson.on.cellphone.cams/ Ah heck, might as well skip the dSLR and just replace my aging 8yr old cell phone with one of these^^^ 20MP too, whoo hoo, just like the 5DmkII...except pixel size of course...

Yeah, those same people polled, also favored Sadaam's plans for the Middle-East, long as they got their fuel oil in the EU or else where we can look the other way...until disaster strikes the idle rich, eh Tannin? Not very interesting, IMHO. Just like Joe the Plumber, the majority of US voters...

Sure, sure, you don't live in any of the counties that will foot the bill for California's new deep pockets SF-LA high-speed rail project...voters in those counties don't feel they "won". The most expensive election outside of the US Presidency, a staggering $74mil was spent on advertising for...

If you insist^^^...UR a chimp then? Tannin apologize to Tea. GWB is a silly name for a chimp, btw. :D

Presidential race went along expected state lines. Mostly conservative middle American Republican states went for McCain. The Democratic party leaning West Coast and New England/East coast (most populated big cities) went for Obama. No real surprise. Dem's have even more control, so all...

Crichton loses battle with cancer @66 http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-crichton6-2008nov06,0,1192481.story "Disclosure" was his best novel/movie IMHO (for obvious reasons ;) ). AS was really good too, in it's day.

Heat is the enemy of most electronic devices Dells are notorious for cooking laptop drives, they just are not cooled adequately, hence many failed drives. Not sure why a replacement would last indefinitely, only you may be putting in a newer drive that has a slightly lower dissipation owing to...

Well now, Obama and the Dem's have control over both Congress and the presidency. So right, all USA's ills will now be solved, correct :p ? I'll let jtr stay up all night to read the nail bitter results on the high-speed rail initiative (looks like the No's are in the lead, but it's too close...

Hmm, did a search on jtr & "high-speed"...holy s**t! Hate to tell you this jtr, you're as naive as anyone I've ever seen when it comes to government spending, and corruption/cost over-runs. Costs a billion per mile of freeway. No way you'd get even close to that, even budget class, lol. You...

A faster internet connection renders all of these browser speeds tests moot, differences are minimal. Kind of like comparing 7.2k laptop drives...replace with fast SSD if you want to see a significant improvement (though again, what you feel is 'significant' is in the eye of the beholder)...

Umm, that would be *your* interpretation, what you're reading into the article. I'm sure Tannin will come along and provide a counterpoint :). Did you read the long list of "pro" for the 50D, by chance? Were you solely focused on only the "con" list? From the "cons" list, the only 'negatives'...

They're all gross testosterone manifestations of homoerotic phallic symbols, ugglifying the natural view...those damned blasphemous corruptors of the Koran :p. World would be a better place (from esthetic point of skylines/view) without this man-made blight. Pyramids and other ancient wonders of...

Oh but in these days of economic distress you want something that will last a long time, and be stylish, from a company that is still gaining while the rest of the market retracts. Enter the all new MacBook with those great Nvidia integrated GPU chipsets, and it won't even fry Merc's...

Still don't understand, freezer at home or work (haven't read up on your appliances purchase for home thread, so don't know which you are referring to...home or work), MW, home or work? No toaster oven @work? Maybe you'd like to get one then. I use both TO & MW at home, not so much the...

Was at CostCo (actually across the street at local supmkt pharmacy to get flu & pneumonia shots...outch, delayed reaction, couldn't even sleep much last night because of the soreness) on Sunday. CostCo is about 7-8mi away. But I was shocked by the price of regular grade fuel. $2.75/gal, when...

Sorry, from the vending machine? How would we know if you don't tell us what the selection is? NEI (not enough info) :p You mean generally? that you heat in MW or oven at home? How fast do you need it? Cause frozen stuff like lasagna-small, medium, family size, CostCo jumbo size; if not MW'd a...

Damn the typical American voter is dumber than a door nob. 'Change we can believe in' >>> same 'ol, same 'ol ...that tradition of $$$ can buy you an election, pretty sad how TV spots shape an election. Shows the limited attention span of the average American so brilliantly :)...

Why didn't you say so in your OP? if you only need 2mb(its)/s (or do you even need that?) symmetrical (do you *need*, or just want symmetrical) what is the requirement for MW? Assume you mean MW by 'broadcast tower'? There are no other options available? Cable/DSL if you're close enough, have...

Are you better off now that you were 8 yrs ago? Well if you go by Obama's rhetorical parroting of Ronald Regan, you answer would be, "if not, then don't vote for Obama", as you'll get more of the Clinton economics that put us all into this fiasco in the 1st place. Huh, but I though Obama says...

Must have been RAM allocation/bloating using my browser. Going much faster since restart (was down to ~180MB of free RAM <20%) on my laptop.

site is running at snails pace for me right now on dialup (much slower than usual). Can see individual gifs loading to the right an bottom of this reply window. couldn't even get 'the end of the world thread' to finish loading to post a reply...never got to the reply window? Maybe I need to...

interesting news: http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1224662427.html Eye of the beholder, but I would be surprised if you could get enough image detail from a -3EV shot, -2 would be nice though. Push a Rebel 450 or D50 2 stops. LOL, now if they could only make a dSLR that would auto white...

Sushi and dim sum (<dats Cantonese food for ya n00bs) are popular with Asians and white boyz alike in the land down under :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew ^^^couldn't resist the men @ work jab. Vegimite sandwich is uniquely Oz, and nasty as any Brit food. Spam, spam, spam...wonderful...

LOLz, Powell endorses Obama...(little late, better than never?) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081019/ap_on_el_pr/powell Powell is such a hypocrite. He turned down all offers for presidential aspirations. He supported both Bush Iraq planning/wars. Obama is against both Bush policy in ME or else...

http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/10/15/nvidia.gf.9400m.official/ Said to be superior to even Intel's latest integrated GPU, reason why Apple switched to Nvidia chipsets for their updated (most) notebook computers. Question remains, is the dual GPU (integrated & discrete) on the MacBook...

^^^what happens when you are aflicted with the dreaded internet ADD, short post, single sentence "blogger" syndrome. Ya 'run N gun' types don't even give a useful link. http://www.nypost.com/seven/10152008/news/politics/obama_fires_a_robin_hood_warning_shot_133685.htm Yeah I agree with...

One I mentioned above, but it's more than $200. For archive? What type of archive (locations)? Depending on what kind, if indoors, you'll probably want something that has a wider angle lens, than the 2 you've mentioned...that's a fairly substantial limitation, IMHO. And you should know that...

You're really old when you can remember when buying milk could mean that the milk was delivered to your residence by the 'milkman' driving a milk delivery truck, leaving glass one quart (or in some cases 1/2gal) bottles, that you left out for the milkman (did they ever have milk women???) to...

SNL skit was pretty good: http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/palin-hillary-open/656281/ Those Kawasaki glasses are expensive though, $400/per frame. MLIF, I dunno...bout that.

In his intelligent, eloquent, southern drawllll....pointing that infamous hand/finger jesture of authority (great liar of all US presidents)...""I said that I did not have a sexual relationship with that woman, and I stand by the truth of that statement," Clinton told reporters." (monica baby)...

Well, there you go again. Disparaging the mentally disabled with your stereotypes...ya bigot!...can I finish, can I finish, can I finish, thank you. I became a billionaire with big ears, cause I'm smart and invented EDS :p

Why would you want to get an X25 for $600+, if you can *double*.... why not just buy Samsung's 1st gen SSD, if all you want is slower performance :p (oops, I forgot, you already did that ;) ). let me point that out to again, *double* to *triple* the thoroughput of the X25, by waiting 3-6mo...

http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/39592/135/ Kind of have a feeling, SATA 6GB/s standard finalized and should be appearing next year on most MB's, will lead to NAND SSD's that approach that thoroughput. at similar price level, perhaps greater capacity. Not many people need that speed for that...

What's wrong with a 5.4k Hitachi 500GB, other than 3yr warranty...you can buy it now, and it's probably slightly faster than the Seagate drive? As before LM, look to macsales.com as a retailer who usually gets new drives fairly shortly after they begin to ship...

It's all over for OJ Simpson, jury just convicted him on all charges against him. He may spend the rest of his life in prison. Bet the Goldman's are elated (satisfied?). Man, OJ sure is dumb, what a loser.

Must be a cultural colloquial usage, I think Cough is confusing this with lipstick/lipgloss. Guess he'll never be the lead singer of an indie rock band either :D. When you have enough/too much testosterone, when you're lips are dry, you've been too long w/o pussy. Drink wine instead of beer and...

Are there still server probs? I see a number of double posts lately. I watched Hero's season 3 2hr opening epi...1st time I've seen the show, can't for the life of me figure out why it's a hit??? Heroes *is* kind of a character driven sci-fi series in it self...BSG has better babes though...

Freudian slip, or you could have an orgy :D Me too, but they do provide some utility...unlike some can't be fired, overpaid, to be annoying, nasty, indifferent, 'really big dicks' DMV managers, lol. ah crap, Merc beat me to the punch line...Maybe Palin might be interested.

So I was thinking...for more pussy, I could be a gigilo (oh, no SC already did that thread on SR ;) ) Well jtr put up on hella odd thread, so I might as well too :D. Thread title has little to do with the text of the OP you say? It sort of does though, but I don't want to make too long of a...

Hmm, could say the same thing about M$'s OS Merc :D. Can't understand why Merc, ubergeek, doesn't just 'get a Mac', he thinks just like a Mac person.... not an "I'm a PC" http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=568461 NSFW alert: If you click on the link to the above youtube vid...

See my post prior, explains well enough market that the vid portion addresses. Besides, you don't need super high quality vids of celebutants to make the headlines :D. As an aside, Canon's behind the ball again, same as their 'indy' prosumer camcorders. Panny did it right from the start, just...

Can I have a link Merc, for what you base your speculation on :D? Are you sure Lieberman, a registered independent, didn't say that :p. Always blame the 'other side', rule#1 in politics when you can't come up with an worth while rebuttal in a limited time frame, or are just lazy. Google is all...
