Suxx, 1st time in probabaly a year or two I got a kernal panick why surfin the net, got the command line interface, saying something about trying to connect via ethernet MAC addy...so I hit power button to shut it down. Then tried to reboot, no go, wouldn't even start :(. Hit reset button which...

GPOS (great piece of s**t!)....I think I need a Babble translation of Lost's post here please ;).

TY for the info. So there is no way to do it without JS, either BB code or standard html coding? I hate JS.

<a href="fullSizeImage.jpg"> <img src="thumbnailImage.jpg" border="0" /></a> what is the backslash for? Are border & target necessary, or can you leave them out? How would I code with BB, and also html the 'mouse over' homer simpson images on this link, and could you do the same with...

umm, jtr, except for you and a few other 'enthusiasts' (read: tech zealots ;) ), what about the gazillion other inhabitants on the planet who don't care about all the technical details, they just want an exact replacement for an incandescent bulb, in terms of ease of use with existing...

Power LED, meaning they output enough light to be useful (:D sarcasm)? Currently, doesn't Luxeon have a 3 emitter die that outputs 1000lm, or to put into perspective, a weak 60w incandescent bulb equivalent...without any of the nice uniform, soft light sans harsh shadows you get from LED, CFL...

These people like the new (2003) Zeiss 85mm the best, weighs less than a Questar, 35mm/dSLR adapter costs $400 though :( http://www.birdwatching.com/optics/scopes2003.html Zeiss comes with a user friendly option (not that tannin would find it acceptable given the PnS sized sensor) of built in...

As Tea would say, have you used a Questar tannin? Until you have, I'm not impressed with life your 'game' in getting closer to the subject with your supposed best spotting scope, or 500/F4 Canon (although, this is always more desireable from a photographic quality standpoint...getting the close...

OK, LM...you have us all anxious and worried (well most of us anyway). Is this a Merc, jtr, udaman kind of thing? Or is it somekind of health diagnosis, like cancer? Or have you been sued by a contingency fee attorney? (I was, was and I felt much the same at the time). Word on health crisis...

Service tech checked again, I'm 15,000ft from the CO. He told me where he lives it's the same problem with poor quality cooper lines (just 1/2 mile away, the 'competitor' Verizon has fiber optic lines under the major streets :( ), so he went with more expensive cable broadband. For a time I...

http://www.questarcorporation.com/birder.htm http://www.questarcorporation.com/questar.htm Questar 1300mm is the serious birder's lens @20ft-2000ft (6.1m-610m ;) ). Costs ~1/2 of those above, weighs half (<1.81kg) the weight of the 500 F4 Canon. who wants to lug around all those massive...

CA? I only see very slight purple fringing at the lower right boarder btw light and dark line of the office building/windows? portion. Pretty minimal from what I can see in that image. You have contrast set at -1 and you think the image is low contrast because of the lens :p...not what Ken...

Why spend $650 at the low-end for a new lenses if you are not sure what reach you will be wanting? Not sure if there are any full line rental shops in PA, but you could spend the weekend searching around: http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=25506 They usually cost about...

http://www.ryanblock.com/2007/11/the-first-macbook-pro-with-a-64gb-ssd/ Older 'new' Samsung 64GB SSD (only just available at retail for $2k :p) in a Macbook Pro. http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/10/samsungs-64gb-ssd-better-faster-stronger/ Anecdotal review of performance (again older model...

Less populated rural areas/western states have 70-75mph limits on similar roads. But I think dd will only be driving at those slightly higher than posted limits for passing, when he's in his 60's or 70's...assuming he doesn't die 1st. Until then, the added 'safety' capability of acceleration...

Plug-in w/next gen Lithium tech would seem to be the best way to improve gas/petro hybrids, until a pure electric car powered either by fuel cells or plug-in electricity becomes available...no matter how much jtr loves inefficient, excessive time consuming, PITA public transportion systems which...

I gave you all plenty of time (Howell, you clicked on the link and went immediately into a coma, yes :) ), the link to the study about how bad excess body fat is, and I expect you, like me (lol), read the entire 390pg report, yes? There will be a test! Don't make me post the entire report here...

Your brother has his own home, get your mom to tell him to store his stuff at his own home, or it gets thrown into the trash (sold to auto recycling/parts/junk yard). That will free up space to move all of the 'hobby' items into the garage so it doesn't all get ruined in the next heavy rain...

Very scary :D Jenny Garth, post babies looking pretty good though. Geez, I kind of look like Brittany, actually my midsection looks worse...but you won't find me showing it off, lol. Downed at least 10g of Costco generic Naproxen sodium http://pain.emedtv.com/anaprox/anaprox-dosing.html...

Geez, e_dawg, I think your post is more appropriate for another thread, or general dSLR thread considering the wide breath of topics/issues you've very briefly opened Pandora’s box on :D. The OP would appear to want something that will not cost an arm and a leg for a Canon Rebel series dSLR...

14w equivalent to 60w incan, too weak for anyone with bad eyesight, or those of us aging (me on both accounts). 14w are fine when you have 3 or 4 of them together in a light fixture (excepting the fact they burn out way before rated lifespan in any enclosed, 3 or 4 of them increases your...

Canon, or Epson? HP wide-format, which is best? Rockwell says he doesn't use inkjets (and he hates pigment inks...what a whuss ;) ) anymore, now that he can get chemical based prints from expensive fast machines at CostCo and the like (guess all of his images are so uniformly conforming to...

Not true, RC style Ni-MH are just as robust. Meaning near by, as CostCo is all over Canada. Order from the source jtr listed then, decent enough price. Couldn't be true jtr, because then Maha's 11+amp/hr D-cells would never charge on their old chargers or others when those cells were...

The official Samsung PR on 50nm sampling, lol: http://www.samsung.com/eu/Products/Semiconductor/news/article.asp?gubun=Global%20News&seq=0000309156 http://sst.pennnet.com/Articles/Article_Display.cfm?Section=ONART&PUBLICATION_ID=5&ARTICLE_ID=286064&C=TECHN This from Samsung about the 64GB SSD...

I think jtr did not read into Merc's posts very well. Merc couldn't give a damn, it's the person who is soliciting his advice and presumably requiring him (hence hostility on Merc's part...issues :D ) to maintain printers he couldn't give a damn about, quality or not. To quote Spock...

Dream on dd, go look at the article I linked to about this in the news section of SF, these newer SSD's are only in sampling stages. $2k for the old 64GB 45MB/s SSD's as used in the Alienware I linked to before, that just came out in August...a full year after the annoucement by Samsung of this...

Link please tannin, to internal documents that prove this cost??? I'm calling BS, make them in the same numbers as a Rebel and the cost premium would be less than the difference between the original 'dumbed' down 300D and the 10D. BTW, as I've said it before, I guess none of you ever owned/used...

Mac OSX 10.5.x (aka Leopard)

LED's are old, obsolete technology :D Speak for yourself jtr, I am much older and more cynical than your idealist (unrealists) youthfully fixed mentality. At this point I'm quite satisfied with supporting development of me hooking up with damn cute, English fluent/semi-fluent Cantonese cuttie...

Samples currently, ramping up production means a couple of months so says this article (translation, you'll be lucky if this paper/vaporware intro becomes a retail reality in 2years, judging by Samsung's usual standards :D )...

All you need to do jtr, is marry (and stay married...oh the horror, oh the humanity of it all ;) ) Pam Anderson for as long as her other husbands :p, and you might just get enough out of the divorce settlment to pay for one of these (umm, maybe enough to also pay for the doctor bills/medical...

Any particular reason you are asking? Oh, now I see, you're implying with your deficient/vague post that *you* (as opposed to the G/F or someone you know, or just generally?) got a speeding ticket on your work related commute (as opposed to occasional flirting @100mph, or just your habitual...

Can I play 5 words or less word association game, blogger style replies, too? ;). And??? Huh? Meaning, why? Oh, that explains it all ;) why do you say that?

Actually I mis-stated, it's higher than that. Oh well, I figured with all the posts on this thread, there would have been the usual 'tangents'...Brittany jokes. I could never live like jtr does, it would be excurciating to not enjoy life as he does by limiting his options and mobility by being...

Being of a size much larger than entry level dSLR's the Canon 10/20/30/40D series is possitively huge incomparison, to a diminutive FF 35mm SLR like the Olympus OM1. Those Canon models are basically the size of the Canon 5D, and for me, if I had the extra cash laying around I'd get a 5D for the...

Why of course, the five essential food groups, and this is why tea & I share the same BMI, yes :D. cheese(eating pizza for breakfast right now), chocolate(yes, yes, oh yes...orgasm), bananas(phallic symbol), ice-cream(see chocolate), and gin(bottle of wine) Glass? We don't need no stinking...

Exercise = weight gaining, suffering, punishment, torture, nausea and other unpleasant side effects (will post 2nd of series to this one so How's and other 'blogger' posting types of limited attention spans can keep up, lol). My BMI is terrible, I'm overweight :D 26.2BMI :( I need to lose...

Samsung is shipping the 320GB for use in Alienware lappy's. Toshiba claims to be ramping up production for availability of their 320GB 5.4k, and 7200rpm 200GB MK2049GSY in November. Samsung was supposed to have a 200GB 2.5in 7.2k server drive in production last June, still not available in...

If you have an old MAC around, I suggest you get a new MAC address in a hurry:rotfl: But in the mean time, get yourself a new Mac computer to run with Leopard properly on this hallowed night...get rid of your Bozo PCee, that is the real scary thing :D.:drl:

http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/10/29/leopard.running.on.pcs/ *note* I was going to write a much longer post something like this: "I guess I was wrong" ...but somehow that seemed too long worded/winded for the ADD, 5min attention span of the average consumer like How's. So I...

Rich physicians drive Ferrari, Mercedes, Bentley, Porsche, BMW 7 series, etc; you can't impress them in anyway (well except if you have a Gulfstream like Tom Cruise). Poorer physicians drive frugal/eco conscious cars, go for a hybrid Lexux GS450h...not as big a heavy boat as a LS Lexus, but...

No prob How, only made threw 1/4 UR sig line, don't bother reading IIHS safety tests results I linked to in the Atom thread, way, way, way too long for the typical 5min attention span of average consumer (had a link to that also, would also take too long to hold your attention...oh well)...

My experiences testing T/S at the camera store...v. long :D Ok, so I went into this shop yesterday to look at the rental Canon 24mm T/S F3.5 L http://www.belaircamera.com/rental.php I asked to see a D30 rental with this lens, had to emphatically (lazy guys) state I needed to see both working...

One of the few times I'll agree with Ralph Nader, all vehicles and drivers are dangerous (including me, but I at least try to keep my mind on driving in a safer manner). Not a "big deal", in your narrow view I see? Or until some fool driving @90-100mph, hits me from behind while I haven't been...

route itinery Or you could spend more time doing it the other way [*url="link addy"]name for your link[*/url] (remove asterisks)...ah crap, I've noticed latest upgrade for vBul 'loses' some BBcoding on the 2nd time you preview it, lets see if I can get the original above working again...arrrgh...

Well either dd's rolling in dough now, or just youthfully fiscally irresponsible :D. BMW won't be selling a high performance diesel 1 series in the USA anytime soon, you're stuck with the gasoline version for the forseable future. It would weight well inexcess of 1 ton anyway, Mini Cooper S is...

Long and short, answer is no, get a Mac if you want to run a superior OS, lol. Speak for yourself, BIOS is not contemporary, it's legacy = old, obsolete. At any rate Leopard (OSX 10.5) runs on PPC Mac's also, PPC Macs are not EFI based. You'd also need a hack for the installer, or would need to...

Looks like 2010 at the earliest, assuming all agree on the specs tout sweet. http://blogs.intel.com/research/2007/10/usb_30_rocket_fast_file_transf.html At least according to Jeff Ravencraft who is a technology strategist in Intel’s Communication Technology Lab-Chairman and President of the...

Nanodot hard drives may be in our future http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/34476/113/ Well I was going to CnP the whole article...but you'll just have to make an effort ;).
