    Relay lenses like that are for special purposes not high IQ. In recent years fiber optics are more popular for getting into small spaces, but presumably this is better.

    iPhone syndrome

    How much does a jack cost compared to the $700 phone? I'd not be throwing out hundreds or thousands of dollars in perfectly good and probably better headphones. There is the hassle factor of more products to charge - 3 instead of one. Then of course after three years the batter is dead and not...

    The dates are in some pale grey color and not linked to anything. I'm using Win 7 if that makes any difference.

    SAMSUNG SV843 2.5" enterprise 960GB SATA III V1 MLC VNAND $169.99

    Does the enclosure work with normal hard drives, say 2TB? I've had a lot of problems with SSDs on USB.

    I'm trying to seek medical assistance, but they are not interested in me unless there is an emergency. They don't want to do MRI. I equaled my personal best speed from 2014 and lungs are OK. I'm down to 6x200 mg per day. The f*cking IRS scammers are leaving like 5 calls a day now. Then...

    WTF are they doing by remaking 7 Samuraita again? 1960 version was decent enough, but a shadow of the Kurosawa masterpiece.

    The distortion is rather high for a prime and look at the MTF astigmatism. It should be good lens for the price.

    It's the other way around. Large print jobs are best outsourced. Small quantities or one-offs are good to print at home so that the final output can be reviewed and adjusted if desired. For 10+ years now the 8-10 color pigment-based inkjets have been producing excellent output.

    I've had about 8 Sigma lenses and all but two had some sort of quality or compatibility issue. I hear they are better lately but will always buy OEM if that is a viable option.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I have five 1TB class SSDs, but they are too small for practical storage purposes and too slow for desktop OS compared to M.2. I use a couple of them externally without enclosures sometimes, but splitting data is such a pain. :( The larger drives should be less per GB.

    There are full D cells as well as D cells that contain sub-C cells and probably other sizes. The Ah rating will be your clue. Full D are up to 8 or 10 Ah. Here is one example of D LSD at random search.

    The most important part is that it is easy enough to administer and secure. One thing I see missing on some mobile versions of forums is the button to go to the end of the thread.

    LED flashlights

    What do you do with all these big lights, not international travel? Based on the specs, the max brightness is not very much since it has a very wide beam.
