I was just reading an article in a Photo magazine talking about that area, seemed very cool. I think the best thing to come from me getting into photography is that I am more likely to go to beautiful places. I don't know why I didn't before, but it is a nice side-effect.

Very nice. Where is that?

Interesting Seconded.

It was harder way back when, but it was also harder in W2K than XP. I haven't done a W2K hardware swap in at least 4 years. The most difficulty I envision is doing a sysprep before or a repair installation after. Neither is exceptionally difficult.

There may be some issues, but they will be recoverable without too much trouble. Newegg still has an Intel 975X motherboard as an open box item, but I would try to move forward with the technology. Mercutio has more experience with this than I do, but installing the new drivers in an existing...

All the Intel boards I saw with eSATA onboard use DDR3.

Thanks for the clarification. Here you go.

Intel BOXDG31GL (G31 chipset) Unless you need different expansion options?

That is what it seems like to me. The page loads fast enough, if it loads at all.

Works for me. Thanks.

Wouldn't the easiest method be to not use apps that don't support color management? What does IrfanView offer that PS doesn't?

Did anyone else try to photograph fireworks and end up with fog?

Yup, it's dragging. I'm sure Doug will get us some place better when he can. It has only been unusable a couple times.

Different version of Photoshop, but that look fine to me.

In Photoshop, go to Edit->Color Settings Under "Color Management Policies", is it set to automatically convert your images color space?

Congrats to Lunar for 2k posts! Thanks man!

That is the movie I want to see right now. Unfortunately, the other 20-something geeks wanted to watch Iron Man. I'm not saying it is a bad movie, just that when the tech departs that far from reality I have a hard time suspending disbelief.

Found it. Thanks. Shame there aren't any settings for it, just on or off.

Well, my screen has a 0.5415mm Pixel Pitch, and I'm viewing in "actual pixels" for the resizing. And, for the record, my resizing technique for both was: 1. Open in Photoshop CS3 2. Image size... 3. Change size and resample with "Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction)" 4. Save Nothing else was done.

IMHO, you went a bit overboard on the contrast. I'm not saying it looks bad, it just looks significantly different than the original.

I think Stereodude did better with the diagonals, and I did better with the rocks. I think the diagonals are more important.

Here is my attempt, also at 11. Why did mine resize to 1600x1202? No idea, ask Photoshop.

;)

Shot with a hole. :(

Either buy a new belt, or stop killing people ;) Congrats on the fitness, always a good thing.

Right in the middle of an HDR pano, an exposure set output RAW files with resolution of 3485x2348 instead of the usual 4272x2856. The pano was a total of 33 shots (11x3) and only one set of three right in the middle was smaller. WTF? Any ideas?

I have Google Apps for my domain, and I can't find where I would share my contacts. Did you end up trying the Google Email Uploader?

Great link Merc. Overclocking ovens...neat ;)

I find GMail's spam filtering to be the best anywhere. The spam folder is visible from the main interface (even through IMAP!) and I get one spam a day, with one false-positive a month. I've migrated several clients to it (3-15 users) and they all love it. All we need now is an IMAP-like...

Well, technically I was only out for an hour. Then I went and won a sailboat race (the first in my new boat, woo!). I still haven't gotten the nerve to break out the camera while racing, but those would be awesome shots.

I just managed to go a little crazy in Photoshop's RAW converter. DPP doesn't have the options to bring up the dark enough.

1600x1200 is tricky to post in the forum, how about 640x480?

Possibly the only shot that came out today.

The download was <9MB? Is that what you meant?

I'll chew on it after I'm done messing with the pictures I took today. Shame I'm not a better photographer, it was beautiful where I was.

Seconded. Though with the lower resolution of stuff viewed over the web (Netflix, etc), I would suggest a projector instead; it is lower resolution, but it is still better than the online stuff.

Case or video card, I'm leaning towards case. It is the part that most first-time builders don't give enough significance to, and it will last the longest. It is also the only part where real aesthetic decisions can be made, allowing for a more personal gift.

Seconded. I haven't measured the power output, but it all becomes heat, and they run much cooler than 2.5" drives.

Seems fine to me, just passing on my experiences. I also have countless WRT54Gs in the field running dd-wrt with very few failures.

Very amusing. It brings up an interesting hypothetical. If the entire universe were instantly completely eliminated, everything all at once ceasing to exist, would it really matter? Would you really care? Does it count as murder? Pollution? Me? Don't care one way or another. If you put the...

I'm using a Linksys WRT350N with the dd-WRT firmware and am very happy with it. It does torrenting much better than the stock firmware, and has Gigabit and 802.11N.

That is a pretty bad error message. Can you provide more info?

That is an EF-S 10-22 @ 10mm f8. But it is actually 16 pictures. The only way to get the dynamic range was to HDR it, and I was also trying to get higher DOF, so I combined 4 different focal lengths (each with it's own HDR set). That makes some bits of it blurry, but I like that the leaves in...

Thanks for the ideas e_dawg. Getting some more perspectives helps me think about what I want. I still think I like mine more ;), but there is always room for improvement.

No kidding. How am I going to waste all the money I don't have unless the product actually exists?

I'm still a fan of Gigabyte, but I am currently running an XFX board (the only one made with the features I needed). I'm also told that Intel makes very stable (and not overclockable) boards. I'm not up to speed on motherboards, but this looks like a fine choice.
