And the answer is...yes, and then some. -4, -2, 0, +2, +4 all included additional information. Holy Crap.

We have a rather hefty copier/printer that does 35ppm, and I have done 8k pages/day for a week before. As is usually the case when not enough information is provided, it is because the person asking doesn't know what they don't know. In these situations, multiple rounds of...

The striping in some (most :( ) of my panos is the result of some pretty bad vignetting on my 10-22 and my 35/2. What is the best lens in this range (at a sane price) to avoid this specific issue? I don't think my 50/1.8 is as bad, does it happen more with WA lenses?

A client asked me to help print a document that might be large. Here is my response.

I should give that a shot, but is there really enough info in a RAW to make 3 16-bit TIFFs? Would simply moving the "exposure" slider in the RAW conversion be the best way to do this?

I would, except there is no way to hold all those people still for three shots. That is the one reason I would want a 50D (frame rate). But I would have done some local adaptation to change the energy back to the kids. Something like this. Edit: I do like most of these pictures, but this one is...

That is a cool screen, is it part of Vista? I just installed 7 RC onto my R2Hv, I'll look for something similar.

Well, I'm about to make a fairly big file...I'll leave in all the adjustment layers and do some saving.

I can put together some large files and test them? Most of my biggest are .psb (13GB) and .tif (2.2GB).

Yup, I've since corrected for that in the "advanced" mode.

I have quite a few cheaper MLC SSDs, they really only annoyed me during software installs/updates and when doing more complex stuff.

The AQUOS was only off in the shadows (funny that) ;)

I had this vision of Obama going around my office, machine to machine, installing IE8...

Boots are the one thing I really care about in netbooks and small machines. Any of these do fine with Firefox once they are up. Worst case, I do some tricks with a RAMDisk to speed that part up.

I think the bunny can do same-day service. Jesus was the tortoise in the relationship.

It's a dead Easter bunny, risen from the grave ;) Kinda fitting, actually...

But it's a critical update! The world will end unless everyone has it, like, now! How else can we count on Microsoft to guarantee our safety?

MLC, and likely have the small write performance issue, but that will still beat a 4200RPM drive during boot (95% read) and light use.

Neither of my small toys take 2.5" drives. One takes a mini (like the one I linked) and the other is a 1.8" ZIF. I hope more vendors adopt smaller form factors (something the width of the SATA data/power connector would be nice).

That is why I get the OEM copies and put the little stickers on the chassis. And why I tend to re-use chassis ;)

I know! I'll take a picture of my screen and post that! Ha!

I bought RamDisk Plus 9.x, mainly because it supported using RAM beyond 4GB on 32-bit OS's (when using 64-bit capable hardware) and that it supported RAMDisks larger than 4GB.

Got some of these coming for the netbooks in the office. Boot time just isn't acceptable with a 4200RPM drive.

Where is the smiley that is flipping the bird? :nono: Close enough.

The last VLK that I had ended up on the "Not Genuine" list.

Installing IE8 via Windows Update caused me to have to re-activate my windows install on reboot. Weird.

Oh, apparently I did. And it isn't just out of stock, it is completely deactivated. I must have bought the last of the old product. Crap.

I find that when my posts get eaten, my second draft is more to the point. It may lack information that may be of use (and if the post loss has caused that to happen, sorry), but it is always shorter.

I have a Toshiba D-VR660KU. I've only used it twice, but it worked fine both times. The dubbing is at real-time speed, and finalizing the disk afterward took forever, but I was then able to rip the video using AutoGK and play it with MPC without issue. Keep in mind, I haven't tried anything...

Hiding, no doubt ;)

I'll have to find my Q9550. What tests would you like to see run?

I knew that this was an issue, but I didn't know how serious. I also knew that when I took care of it, I would want to do it right. Unfortunately, things have changed and I just don't have the cash to splash around at the moment. From what I understand, exact accuracy isn't as important as...

Probably. Come by and check it out on my screen, they look great ;)

Stock settings on the display and driver. No adjustments whatsoever. I know, I know. :smack:

Ouch! I thought the days of paying $1k+ for a monitor were over! Even the 21" SV is over $1k. Over $500 would be tough for me at the moment.

e_dawg, great, because I already ordered it ;) Re: Monitor accuracy My left screen (Viewsonic 2130b) is really stating to lose it's backlight. If I were to replace it with something in the 24" range with an eye towards color accuracy, where is the sweet spot? My right monitor is a Dell...

Autohide doesn't seem to work with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix UI, but Image Zoom is great.

Only if the question is who can bend you over further.

Meh, I don't have to order until noon and it will still ship today. ;)

Indeed, but that will only get you so far as well. IIRC, the best anyone has done with Liquid He is 7Ghz.

The problem is not getting a demand high enough that it will saturate all your cores. The problem is getting that demand to use all your cores. The more cores you have, the less likely it is that whatever load you have will use it. You probably see that already; one core sitting at 100% while...

At medium spec, 8-core Mac Pros cost $7k. So I would call them idiots, not pros, Uda.

An excellent point e_dawg. This is the one you use? It is in my shopping cart now.

Intel i7, Intel X58, and Intel SSD is a very happy place to be.

If you can get them to take down slashdot as well, It will be the most productive day of my career. ;)

Copying to the clipboard first doesn't work for you? FWIW I have never had this issue (I use the quick reply unless quoting someone).

Mine don't. I have a 150GB VR, a 740GD, and a 1TB 7200.10 stacked on my desk right now.

Neat.

Think you used enough font there, Butch?

For the record, the MTRON MSD-PATA3018-ZIF2 is working great in my ASUS R2Hv, and is a massive improvement over the Toshiba MK8009GAH (4200RPM) that was in there. 100MB/s and 0.1ms without any lag issues with small file writes. I suspect the interface in the Acer isn't standards-compliant in...
