You're going to wait until your death bed then jtr, lets see those 200lm/w LED's that are *not* rated @100ma. Got take alook at the tri-die Luxeon at a monumental 700lumens (basically low output 60w incandescent bulb). It's only ~70lm/w to output that 700 lumens. At any rate I see no one...

1D series are absolute monsters, way, way too big and heavy. Fine if all you do is shoot with a tripod, but then you could put a 7in Questar on a tripod and have the ultimate birder lens. I went into a camera store and briefly (10 minutes before closing, will go back over the weekend) and tried...

Everyone who has found this site knows that it is called 'Storage Forum'...duh. So the usage of Storage Forum as part of the forum title is not only redundant, it may also (apparently?) cause some n00bs to think it's the computer orientated technical support *chat room*. How else can you...

Why do n00bs continually post tech support questions in the Pub & Brewery forum?

Ah the standard, typical, American simplistic, narrowminded 'mind think'...applies to virtually all political discussions here on SF and other forums where people just don't have the time or the inclination to attempt to fully understand the dynamics of the issues (which plays into the hands of...

LOL, I love all the SF peeps, who can't comprehend the future, just like those posts on how American auto manufacturers are behind the times (well they are behind the times, but not in all areas...but they still suck when it comes to styling and ergonomics)...

From the PR: Well Samsung has propensity (just like Cree :D) for hyping up new technology that may or may not be just all that , along with taking much longer than expected to bring it to market. The CTF they annouced last year based on 40nm process, where is it? They were supposed to have up to...

Is that home in an area of trees or prone to fires? Burning up around these parts today & tomorrow with 90mph winds, no bubble burst on the housing market down here. Since you are used to appt living, and such, consider you could rent out a room in the house (you did not mention how many rooms...

1st Review Samsung LED backlit 52in LCD Hits and misses of a new technology. I particularly do not like lack of shadow details, makes a huge difference to me. http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/Samsung-LE52F96BD/ Say tannin, what's wrong with those uk reviewers quoting screen sizes in inches, don't...

Ummm, I think Lost is confused...again :). That's methane gas coming from your rear....end. It too, is a serious greenhouse gas and also quite flammable I might add...'jackass the movie' comes to mind (even if like Brokeback Mtn, I will never see this movie either, lol). :D. tannin, how silly...

Hmmm, those #'s look funny, is that the full address you enter for domains to search for in your network setup window? ...continuing with my temporary warped sense of humor/macbre from the Erotic Ghost Story movie, the movie thread (Lost62000 will be lost to connect the dots, and Merc will have...

So would you like to explain what you mean by "idioms" in relation to Asian entertainment, your useage eludes my comphrension? (oh, I get it, you're not a fan of J-pr0n :D )? Have you seen the movie drama/comedy "Shower"...old-fashioned, traditional concepts of honor and family, Western...

LOL, Apple hasn't used a floppy drive since the 1990's...can't see any reason why anyone would use M$, and if you did need it you'd just boot up with Bootcamp and run Windoze on the Mac :D (well you asked ;) ).

Intel has a history of proposing craptastic innovations, lol. Hybrid drives are nearly stillborn (USB3.0 blows, as much superior FW1600/3200 could have been on the market right now if there was enough marketing pull from Sony/Apple), even if Samsung just released one for Vista laptops. Pure 64GB...

SR: House hunters find "buyer's paradise" in Detroit http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071007/us_nm/detroit_housing_dc_2;_ylt=AmtpuZ5H6Akb2Nykry_GP08E1vAI So I was looking at a flyer a local real estate broker was leaving at the doorsteps in my...

LOL, Gilbo After that still born wine thread on SR, I thought we'd never see you post again...welcome back :D. Talk about pimpage, Olympus wrote the book on tiny, sexy little lenses....24mm Shit PC lens is supposed to be the best of the bunch for PC. Oh if only Oly would make a full-frame, all...

Ken Rockwell loves http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/dxo/optics-pro.htm DxO Optics Pro V4.2 review Keith Coooper uses it too, and reviewed it here: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/reviews/dxo_optics_pro4.html Version 5 is out and adds more features/speed, anyone have any opinions about this...

Go read the reviews, the D300/D3 in addition to having much sharper LCD sceens via 3 times the pixels---which in addtion to digital zooming fuction, should help with focusing accuracy, have better Live View LCD capability than Canon; though I'm thinking that Live View will only get better with...

You know, I just read about Sagan's daughter, and how she said he was a big time pot smoker....Hmmm? But DD is mainly a consultant in a independent contractor type of employment scenario, where this is much easier to be had. Those who are on steady jobs, or do not have the ease of finding more...

I'm still confused, I hate macro shoots because they have infintesimally narrow DOF. Maybe I just don't understand what macro does to a lens that has it, and one that doesn't have it? On portrait lenses for dSLR's, fixed focal lenght as opposed to zooms, they have a macro setting, which allows a...

Oops, I got the short version of the 2nd VW "low ego emission" ads by mistake. the full version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kePNaRLTIvs this one in the series is good too: The Honk :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNsdRDrZwBM "Open your window stupid"...just like a woman to be...

dd/honold style posting ;), let's see how long we can keep going How so?

Because my pecker is only yea big, because I earn more $$$... So LA, so superficial/artificial/self-absorbed/shallow...I love these Vdub ads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Bpy4EvivI hilarious parody of disclaimer note : "Closed course. Do not throw megaphones or metaphores out your window"...

Hi Hemanth, You do not seem to get the idea that only one post to the approriate forum is necessary, that this duplicate thread post, of the one you have posted to the Tech Support forum, is like spamming/shouting for attention...bad form/etiquette. Keep these types of help-question threads...

You play the odds, eventually you will scratch the front element of a wide-angle $1k lens, and kick yourself in the arse for not using an inexpensive polarizing filter over the front. Filter keeps dust off the front of the lens, much easier to clean...and if you accidentally scratch/damage the...

1. What is this spyware stuff, I use a Mac to get stuff done, no learn "primary tools" like that, lol. 2. "Floopy...? what's the 'other' thing? Aren't floopies like incandescent bulbs are to LED's, so why is jtr thinking M$ is better, and not using a Mac...sometimes I don't understand his lack...

Eh, I just worry about living in this and the next decade...2030 is too far away to dream about future tech...only thing you can count on is that government will move slower than expected, have massive corruption/cost over-runs, and you'll not have enough money to get by unless you (are already...

Bump, this thead wouldn't have any relationship to your new thread would it? http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6748 Just curious, cause you can wait a few months more and get either a Toshiba or Samsung 320GB 5.4k rpm drive in the 2.5in SATA form/interfance. Alienware has a...

Well I never! ;) Yes, but flashing bright blue LED's are all the bling-bling rage...unless you get it gold plated, lol...or both.

Yeah, pretty gross, but it's what you don't see...don't go there :), pierced nipples both male/female, pierced genitalia...ewwww! Bad enough they tatoo those areas. Hmm. I mean ummm, Ms Aqua GUI had that pierced tongue, stunning beauty, the only other part of her body pierced was typical lower...

If time will do a search on Arnold the Govenator & Gore the tree hugger, he'll find a wealth of info, including their recent appearance at the United Nations (not sure time even knows what I'm talking about...sarcastic retort, :p). Hmm, I'm sure jtr could write few books, but like Gore's books...

1. Noise Ninja for that 'trick' ISO3200 'boost' setting: http://www.picturecode.com/ 2. Can get a 50mm F1.0 Canon lens new for only $3,750 :D ...but then you could sell your 20D, add $1,250 to that equation for the Canon 50 F1.0 and get an awesome ISO6400 full-frame monster like the new Nikon...

So I was looking for CFL to work with a motion/occupancy sensor over the kitchen sink. Apparently CFL's don't work so well with certain types of circuits, and can cause fires to the unknowing ignorant public! That and the side issue of poor manufacturing standards, falsification of test...

Well I guess I expected a little too much then :). How /bout I just post the link, you (mis)interpret as you like, comment about the link as you like, ask me quick questions about why I posted the link...and about a dozen or so short-mindless posts later, I'll just re-post my original post...

Very unlikely. More likely the pooo-pooo'd iPhone by SF members, that has already sold more than a million in 74days ("introducing the iPod pico, it holds a billion, a bill-ion songs and videos" :), sorry still thinking about the SNL parody of Steve Jobs), thats a million 8GB Nand chips, is a...

Couldn't agree with your more Tea, lol ;) Let me know when you win an Academy Award for Editing. Walter Murch, he's even written an editing book- the ignoramous! After using a Windblows/Avid Editing system that cost much less than was the normal for the Academy Award winning "The English...

That lens is supposed to be super crap, all plastic, no DOF (IIRC) indicator on the lens ring. Find the metal used, version I, on e-bay or someplace. Let me find the link: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-24726.html http://photo.net/equipment/canon/ef50/ There is a...

HD Photo, comments, explaination for the dense like me? Next gen format in the JPEG standards, so when will digicams be adding this recording option? High Dynamic Range Editing http://blogs.msdn.com/billcrow/archive/2007/07/12/high-dynamic-range-editing.aspx Pixel Formats (Part 2: Fixed...

Hmm, if it gets automatically scaled, then it won't be in the pixel dimensions you specifically cropped your image for, correct? Which means "largest" is a misnomer??? How large? Photobucket (free version, which also allows quicker FTP uploading now) has an option to specify size of file, rather...

^^^ Should be in the SR thread, but looks like (after having gotten over my hangover :drinka:, if I'm doing the math correctly ;) ) dd's post above is the milestone 100k'th on SF...w00t! What? No fireworks gif smilies :(:tgif::beer: Damn, I'm sorry, I don't have any long rambling thing to say...

LA Harvest Moon Festival Sept 23, 2008 Well I stopped by at the end of the day for this event last year (some pics in a post somewhere her on SF from last year), but I don't know about this year. Even lousier (is that possible) musical performers, and they lost Volvo as a sponsor, now have...

I hate stereotypical human behavior LOL, 4 very young Asian chicks talkin bout, how Asian guys need to be a turn on with self-confidence. Right then, let me pull out my big d**k and show you my confidence, real turn on right? So typical of backwards thinking women (there are forward thinking...

I am bad ;) Alright, it's 1:12AM, day after the what's the # of yrs? of the date of the 9/11/2001 Terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers (unlike jtr, I lost no person I knew when only 3,000 people died that day....while an estimated 700,000+ die every year in China from pollution). But be...

Damn, e_dawg, dd (tannin's in Oz so he don't count ;) )...don't you guys ever sleep...wait it's 1AM same time as DD, and I'm awake too, but somewhat buzzed on a bottle of wine (where's Clocker? Coug? ;) ). DD, if you're still around in 10yrs or so, (along with jtr, Merc, me and a host of others...

Thank you all for your replies (paugie ;) ). Well I was way too tired when I wrote the OP. I meant to say short form that going beyond F8 (actually F11 toward F16 you'll start to get into mild diffraction issues e_dawg mentions (at least on lesser performing lenses such as a PnS, correct?). My...

It's here (October :) ). For a trifle MSRP of $8k, the new IIIs ... Hmm, that would be the HDR technique e_dawg mentioned on the PnS thread, yes :0 ?. Who really needs 21MP sensors? I'd rather have the DR range of the Fuji S5...so you don't have to do abstract art with HDR PS technique of...

Alright, which photo forums would you think I should ask this question. I want to photograph my mothers flowers in her greenhouse and some outdoor cymbidium orchids. Thing is that most of them have multiple flowers on either one or more flower stalks. I want to get razor sharp images of the...

Recent PR material from GM at the LA Auto show about fuel source diversity. Unfortunately for jtr, he just doesn't comprehend that people want cars, that luxury status symbol of freedom. Riding on trains & subways/other transit systems does not afford that freedom of timely mobility, and...

Typical of dd and almost all posters, who do their usual short one or two line posts, they never give enough info to make an informed reply---same with his 'hypothetical' low-light camera desires...for some reason the actual intent of using the camera was too embarassing or private to mention...
