I would love to be able to afford such a $2,500 Fuji sensor/D200 (w/28-200 VR Nikkor lens). But I'll wait, as I could put stock on it that you'll see similar performance, with lots of improvements like articulating OLED's etc (assuming Fuji is still around) in 2-5 years at under $1k, which is...

Umm, for smooth video playback, I think you need to do further reading :).... http://www.ocworkbench.com/2007/gigabyte/GA-G33M-DS2R/b8.htm From the same site <1/2 the cost of the GB G33, ASRock 4Core1333-FullHD ATi RS600/SB600 seems the better integrated video option by that measure with...

Lighten up guys, chill ^^^ Hello guys, get a clue. sechs was just making a relatively harmless insult, tongue and cheeky *in response to e_dawg's* comment about FB...lighten up already. I don't suppose any of you remember responding to, and not putting Prof. Wiz on 'ignore'...do you...

Nice dSLR, expensive...I'll wait for the Oly semi-pro model with articulating live LCD. So will HDR tech work for even greater than 12EV on this cam? Back to the OP theme of PnS. for dd's dilema, I'm wondering about all the marketing hype 'improvements' for the F31 replacement, called f50fd...

Something wrong there, non sequitor I believe :D Reese's Puffs cereal, Geez jtr, that's worse for your body than any cola, you've got to kick the habit, try Post raisin brand or something healthier. Milk prices are manipulated just like other commodities jtr, oil/fuel/electricity. Doesn't always...

Yep, that's why I posted the link to the same vid, in Clocker's prior thread, did ya mis that one Clocker? :p They stopped running that ad on the west coast just after I posted the link to it on UTube. Maybe cause too many Audi/(stupid) boyracers tried to emulate it (legal dept worried about...

I'm on dial-up, it's very slow, but maybe it's the updated software, or the new server, bogging down for some reason? I posted, the post showed up fulled loaded on the page, in about 30sec. I noticed I left out a word in a sentence, immediately hit edit button, got the edit window, entered the...

Umm, there was another thread about these or two recently? I haven't seen the LED RPTV (yeah, they call them DLP, but a rose by any other name is still a spade ;) ), but I'm hoping they have *much* better of axis performance than the large 65+in UHP bulbed screen I was looking at in the...

Merc's in his usual depression, but he'll be back with a flurry of posts when he's good and ready. As for the rest of the world mubs...open you're friggin eyes! 6.6 billion and by the time you die, probably nearly double that, people are friggin everywhere. By 2050 California is expected to...

Sheesh, why didn't you say so in teh 1st place....arggh! The real scenario you are contemplating, while still difficult, is no where near as demanding as the 'fanatasy' analogy. A little motion blur @1/60th sec. shutter speed?, might produce nice shots that convey that emotion/energy of the...

Taking a wild guess, Tannin's lust of choice pro Canon, might be able to do what you want. You'd want the 10fps rapid-fire capability, the extra bit depth for greater tonal/color gradation, slightly better dynamic range (though with a candlelit only situation you're at the very extremes of...

I'll agree with Sol on those points (even if Sol's a Nazi soup ranter ;)...Seinfeld joke ). All of the things that could and should be done, must of course be done on a global level, Kyoto accord is meaningless in that regard if the two largest 3rd world economies, India & China (who will...

Umm, let me try again, the boldface above suggests a purchased camera that has been returned for refund, does it not? So I'll ask again, what kind of store (other than CostCo which claims to have a 100% satisfaction guarantee where you can return any product for any reason, forever, for a full...

Lol, jtr; my friend after a year of procrastinating, and dicking around not sure what he'd do, gave up on trying to get the city of Santa Monica (they rejected his initial request/demand they pay for it) to pay, once he got bids, to replace the pipes on his hillside home, where the...

http://www.storageforum.net/forum/announcement.php?f=10 " Site downtime We're moving servers on July 5th and the forum will be offline during this time for several hours. " Can you give us any additional info about this server change? You mean you're...

CR shows only 1mpg advantage over the 'mid-size' (not really) Corolla, and I wanted a Corolla cause the a Honda repair shop guy was at the Hertz rental desk getting a one day rental on an Accord, so I asked him (Miller Honda & Toyota) which of these econoboxes would he take. He said the Corolla...

What kind of store lets you 'test drive' all these cameras, basically turn them into demo models they'd have to sell for a loss, and allow you to use them for free? I'd love to be able to do that. $200 more? The D200 has even better sensor (heh, according to Rockwell), much better accuracy...

So in about 6 hrs, I'll be getting up early, and driving a rental Honda Civic (kind of sucky car in just the hour or so I drove it this evening) going from LA to SF, to attend the biggest Pinot Noir wine tasting in the country. And insane number of wines open for a 6hr stretch (1st hr. to...

I guess not all of life sucks then Merc? Any way, I'll be in SF Bay Area at the bukkake spit-a-thon Pinot Days wine tasting on Sunday @Fort Mason. So I'll miss your 10k post, not that it has all that much meaning :). Till Monday then.

JA at the MTV2005 movie awards...yummmmmmmy! NSFW link: http://www.albacentral.com/image.html?img=gallery/2005mtvmovie/2005mtvmovie031.jpg Man From Uncle, a bit corny, Johnny Quest & The Thunderbirds (when I was really young), Ms Peel...what was it called w/Patrick McNee---Avengers?, "I'm not...

(2009 : D) WR, the overfertilizing/flowering is in the Chewy thread, lol. Yeah, sechs, along with the 'ramping' up of production for the 64GB Samsung SSD's in late spring 2007 (according to Samsung's PR ;) ), which are "painfully slow" at @45MBs Write/61MBs Read's, & Sandisk's 512byte IOMeter...

I'm with Coug...again, oh no, how can this be...heh, maybe we can get Coug to put everyone on 'ignore' then, lol. Umm, Sorry for the pessimism, but this is the woman Chewy, what only how many months ago just started dating...and I think the TomKat analogy applies, falling in love so quickly...

Interesting note...Splash ;), now if only M$ would stop trying to impose their 'greatnest' of innovation, and using non-standard HTML compliant coding for IE, then maybe more webpages would display correctly under more browsers...stupid IE UI. I still like IE's printer engine (flawed as it is...

It also remains to be seen how agressive Intel will be in their upping the stakes with more powerful integrated GPU's rumored to be in the works, as competition for Nvidia &AMD/ATI. Lets not also forget with Penryn (45nm process mobile) the Monteviña chipset is rumored to support more energy...

Coug = Flagreen = Wavemaker = BBH??? lol ;) ^^^ as Merc would say of Prof. Wiz... pussy :beer:. Hmm, Chewy, so if this is a single topping that you're using left-over pork, honey/mustard glaze or ham...this is on top of a freshly cooked pizza of ultimate simplicity, dough, tomato sauce, maybe...

[*quote=Howell;97098]A reply to nested quotes doesn't work. At least I can't figure out how to make it work. The "multi-quote" button doesn't help. [*quote=ddrueding;97100]Confirmed, I get the same issue. The only thing the "+ (multi-quote) button does is copy each selected post and dump...

Umm, well I agree with Coug Merc is *evil* :D Merc will have some comment about the kind of 'artisinal' pizzas I like with really weird named ingredients. Italian 'burrata' is the rage in some trendy spots of LA, like Nancy Silverton/Mario Batali’s Pizzeria Mozza . Or you could use fresh bufala...

Yeah you're not big on travel and I see more phsycological barriers than any real physical barriers. You favor train travel therefore you will do it, you don't like the ideal of air/car travel therefore you're exceptionally overly reacting to the most minor inconviniences. Really, if car travel...

Cougtek = Flagreen = Wavemaker....Mon Dieu, que vos enfants sont laids, merdé! Or is wavemaker really SC? Well it would take me about 5 separate posts minimum to counter jtr's post points and how they are so distortedly wrong, due to his life long subway & train/bus usage in NYC. But suffice to...

Simmer down folks, it's just beta right now, but you are of course going to buy into the reality distortion field™ of Steve-O, are you not? don't forget to d/l the Windows plug-ins for Sarfari (link @bottom pg). D/L link: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/...

Yes, but you could add to the list that one could usually find and opposing dissenting opinion about just about any topic, just like the highlighted text above. I can 'cite' actual facts that I can claim to represent -kind of like the global warming debate? Or the one about the end of Ford...

Phoenix has risen from the dead, Zombie SR is alive! Guess I spoke to soon about the inscrutable, ephemeral Eugene. He always keeps a tight lip, never communicating with his own audience (freaky if you ask me). While everyone else was using other sites to get an ideal of which newer laptop...

Skip to end of my post for actual on topic relevant info. (trying to break ddrueding’s unofficial longest post on SF rating ;) ) Oh, yes, yes....yes! That's it, right there...more, more, harder, harder Examples please ;). Hmm, jessica alba on a 108in Samsung LCD...2k 1080p is just not...

Oh my Merc, do you mean to say you'd think there is something wrong with PETA babe Alicia Silverstone? You'd not want to eat all of her veggy goodness ;). Not sure how much PS'in they did on this shot for the cover of Shape, but she's looking might fine/toned to me. Supposedly a good vegan diet...

Probably costs thousands-note target market is 'industrial', and uses 8Gb 50nm NAND tech of last year, but still, it's 256GB and relatively fast. PQI shifting towards industrial CF and SSD PQI ramps up 256GB solid-state notebook drive

Wha...LM, didn't you read what honold & Merc said in 2003 here Time for Heresey!? Didn't you read where Eugene says seeks & STR as reported as max/min reads are for the most part useless as an indicator of performance in his determination of what 'most' desktop users use their computers for...

Umm, well that's kind of an over simplification of the issues...which kind of how, most of these types of thread arguments end up...let's not go into the Iraq/WMD debate, please ;). Almost no dispute about global warming by any scientifically sound authority. However, there still exists debate...

Same old, same old SR :rotfl: You can forgive the old geezer, it's his 2nd review (and quite possibly the last) of the year, lol. He got a little excited about the date. Eugene is so excited, he's even online right now as we speak (a rarity, guess cause he wants to narcissitically admire...

Define 'worthwhile'....that's way too vague (is this a nerds form of a psychological test, like one of those stupid questions on an SAT exam, or grad school entrance exam?), I only use Mac's ;). For $200, I'd have to get a used Mac, that doesn't run OSX Tiger very fast, and Leopard (OSX 10.5)...

Impossiblé! Doesn't exist at any price, asking for inexpensive so limits your choices. Epson's don't clog anymore than Canon, which is to say, they both clog if now used regularly. HP's with their unified printhead/ink cartridge seem to be less prone to clogging, which is to say you are more...

This is soooo wrong ;) Indeed it is ;)... most especially if you emulate this very PIC Audi commercial I just saw today (LMAO "the luxury car for people that can park themselves")...it's...it's....just, soooo wrong :p. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgADI5xdi6g And referencing PIC, Merc...

To add to what LM said, do some quick research on both your state constitution, business & professions code. Employment law/code. There should be similar codification of Federal sexual harassment laws, and like LM mentioned there could be exceptions for companies/businesses with few employees...

One of the near deal breakers for me on the Fuji F31/F30 is the odd macro/normal close focus limitation barrier at ~2ft. As pointed out in this review, 2ft is table lenght, sitting across from opposing people at a resturant, where you're going to have to shift into macro just to get the shot...

You're getting hysterical (about one event of running) like this neurotic woman I know, who went ballistic on me out of seemingly no where, for no logical reason. You can run a marathon anytime...yawn. I'd rather be out in the country doing one of those extreme hikes you like to do, at least...

LOL, Merc, do you know what goes into those 'dogs'? That would make you throw up. In the pic (do a search on Insalata Caprese, classic southern Italian dish), you only have olive oil (what you think it's cat pee?) drizzled over slices of mozerella cheese, on top of slices of heirloom tomatoes. A...

Well I tend to hate to get into these 'political' idealistic (and over time, you tend to get bitter/jaded about such 'idealism', being just a pion in the grand scheme of things, unless you are a brillant scientist or world leader/influence), but while I would 'characterise' myself along the same...

We haven't seen how 'useable' that ISO 6400 is? full of noise and relatively no detail, then it is useless for long range birding use. We can almost never have enough sensor sensitivity or dynamic range(early morning or dawn is a quite common time to 'birding', exacly when extreme reach of lens...

SD800is is a far superior model, you don't need max megapixes, this just degrades low light with excessive heavy handed NR. The 800is has a wider angle 28mm comparative lens, which will prove to be very useful for the average consumer. You can't under estimate the usefulness of image...

I sort of wonder, how much thought any of you put into your response? Not be argumentative, but it seems like most online responses are more of the instantanious/knee-jerk reactions based on almost always a 1st and very quickly read (if that) purusal of the subject. Yes, the 1/2 ISO 1600...

Ok jtr, is this the part where I get banned for not being part of the pat everyone on the back, I'm too negative, don't buy into simplistic feel good analogies? I read the links, and maybe shouldn't comment seeing how I'm in a terrifically s****y mood, but I do better understress in trying to...
