If course it sucks, but MS does not care about us old dinosaurs. Ultimately they want users to pay a monthly service fee to access whatever version of the OS and apps are current and keep the data on their outsourced servers in the cloud. If one does not pay every month (or some underpaid goof...

No. XP users are screwed as there is no direct upgrade from XP to 7 that retains the applications. :(

The sleeves are probably more than that. :)

Errr, 500W.

I would not get anything with less than 500GB now.

OMG! I hope it is not the pornmultipier type. They are just awful for compatibility and dropping drives.

It really depends on that fickle Android dude. Sometimes he corrects a few typos and other times he goes nuts. ;) Since you have the 17-55 IS, the best normal zoom choice for your 7D, the 24-70 II would be of limited value.

I receive IT solicitations every day, mostly be e-mail. Much of the time I have no idea what they are all about. Today I made the mistake of answering my offset phone and some guy started blathering on about something system. I kept asking if it was a solicitation or sales pitch, but could...

DD, There have been some serious compromises made for the impressive, corner-to-corner performance of the 24-70/2.8 II at large apertures. The main flaw is distortion, which ranges from high and semi-moustachy barrel at 24 to unacceptable pincushion at 70. Another thing I don't like is the...

Unfortunately they will probably come down in price a but and sell quite well.

What does the D600 reach? The D800e only does 4FPS. I'd Rather pay 2X+ that to have 8FPS. At 4FPS the legs are too often out of whack.

Well, I'm Linda screwEd because the two classes of camera bodies I need are falling by the wayside, namely the D3X+D300 or 1Ds III+7D. Cheap FX bodies are of no interest to me now. Unfortunately the 6D/D600 class is killing off the market for the 7D/D300 type of performance crop bodies needed...

Arrr, indeed. Dirty Jenny got a bit wild last night and there are damages today...

I finally received the 24-70/2.8 II on Tuesday. :)

An SSD will probably save you money in the long run with fast system restores and better reliability/longevity.

If the old form factor is working, why not stick with it? Of course they should have SSDs if it is in the budget.

Is that the four port? I should be able to use the OS from my Aten two port.

I don't know how the VM thingie works, but I heard some Mac users will like it because the Moku 5 VM runs on them too. Apparently there is some other brand of the VM they are also considering. I hope the project does not occur as I would need to buy a laptop for that. In no way would I want...

The internet is not "where all the filth in the world comes from." Someone created it and then placed it there. Most of the filth is related to Adobe Flash anyway.

I don't understand. :(

Well all they will support is the Moku 5 VM, which I assume has some security. The computer, OS, etc. would be the user's problem if what I understand is correct.

I assume we will receive an amount that is less than the cost of a good laptop.

There is a rumor that next year all our company laptops will be taken away and then we will be doing everything with Muko 5 on our own "personal device." This sounds just awful. :( Any experiences?

I have thirty-something GB in the desktop system includin SSDs g two 240/256, so space is not the issue. The laptop I'm considering has only one drive. However, I'm not keen on paying two grand for an OCZ/Indilink drive.

Do these designers care what the users want or continue to force feed the consumers?

Is there any chance we will see a 1TB SSD this year?

What are magnets used for in your job?

Which card with that controller is reliable?

What do you think about the new Kindle Fire tablets?

A coma-shaped object. ;)

Gee, 46% of users rate it one droplet out of five. :(

What a weird looking tool that is. (:)

Where does one find a titanium USB spork? Crazy.

Sorry to hear that. :cry: In my first 40 years, we had six dogs that died at the vet or had to be put down. It is just awful. I've not had any pets since the 90s due to my personal situation.

We saw the Avegers (not sure if it was part II) and it was not really what I expected. The first half hour was awful and the remainder was just bad. :( The disparity between the unnatural powers of the deviants was bizarre. For example there was nothing special about the Scarlet Johansen...

A little better today. Where is everyone? Buchner, Buchner...

There is not much choice at the guinessbuness dinners. No Coke and Snickers anyway.

The 3TB RED is now $260. I think I'm done with the NAS idea.

I have been experiencing sudden weight loss every two hours. :( I have no idea of what half of the food is.

We should all go visit Merc and do a hard drive intervention. :D

No, it's somewhat abandoned here in plus eight or is it nine? My back and balla are sore for unknown reason. ThiS is not a good time.

I suppose. Memrory is not the best after 45 years.

I had coffee in small can today. Then later three kinds of alcohol, four of which I cannot indemnify. I have no twitter twatter, and tweeteless, it is as if it never happened.

Is the NO afflicted this year? Did they ever have the plumbing system or water fixed since the last Toronada?

Bats are nice although some can carry disease. How much influence did the Bruce Wayne have? Wasn't he just a butler or manservant?

Apparently such cables are not so easy to find. The vast majority are DVD-D, not -I. The only 3-ft cable at the egg is a Ro Swill. Monoprice has a six footer, but that increases the total cable length to twelve feet.

Not really, but they can fine you. It does not seem like a smart idea.

I think I see the problem. According to the pinouts, I have a dual-link DVI-D cable from the KVM to the monitor, whereas I need a DVD-I (either single or dual). Both of the VGA cables I use have the DVD-I connector at the other end, so that is why they work when connected directly. At least I...

The KVM is like this. It supports analog according to the decription. One of the cables has VGA on one end and DVI with all of the pins on the other. I also have a VGA to VGA cable with a DVI adapater that has 1/3 of the pins missing. Neither way works. I thought all pin connections all...

Lowering the resolution does not help. :(
