    A-Team was really crap for adults to sit through. I know the kids liked it at the time. I don't know what they used for lighting and film stock/transfer, but along with the bad acting and ridiculous plots, it always had that ugly ABC gray look, too. :hurl:

    It is a scripted TV series, not a reality show. Most of the actors look like they are in their mid-20s. In 20 years we will be lucky if most US public high school kids can express a coherent, grammatically correct sentence. :(

    I recall one erection set, but only used it for a couple of days. I don't know about Lincoln logs. I thought they were for farmer's kids or those in the rural areas. We did have lawn jarts, and it was painful if one hit you from a high angle.

    When I was a child the Legos were fairly new and there were not so many choices. Basically it was boring blocks. :zzz:

    HomoLED

    What is the reasonable lifetime of the Samsung HomoLED displays? I'm concerned about using the screensaver type of app like NoLED that moves some text and lights around the screen permanently when it is plugged in, as compared to the display being totally off after a few minutes. Is it safe to...

    How to deal with wind chill?

    I wear thermals in Antarctica and also at high altitude where it can be really cold. Mammoth in the winter is the only cold place I've seen in CA, though Im sure there are others.

    Hitachi starts shipping 4TB drives in Japan

    I don't have any Canon lenses that are not L, so some money was saved there. :) I also have 4 Canon TCs, including the 1.4x III which should be a L lens considering the optical design and cost. Of course the damned cameras are generating all those GB of images. For one project (3 sessions) I...

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    My experience is also that the CFLs don't last more than a year or two, for example in the toilet where they are subject to many short power cycles. The CFL in the kitchen range is on 24/7 and lasts 3-4 years. I installed two LEDs in the toilet last summer and prefer them for the rapid...

    question Which Tablets

    I don't know if any of my computers have SMB, and probaby would not know how to use it if they did. I would most likely only copy files a few times a year for slideshows or the like.

    question Which Tablets

    Well of course a hulking device like a tablet should have space for an SD or µSD slot (CF would be nice too), but I could live with using the adapter to copy files if the transfer rate is reasonable. I wish they were available in local stores. :(

    Printing Exif Info for a bunch of pics

    Are you using spot metering with manual exposure and checking all three channels of the histogram? Overexposure aften clips one or two channels before the other(s) and results in highlight color shifts. There also some color shifts caused by short exposures if arc discharge type of lights...

    I don't see any shifting. It looks somewhat like that goofy wrong-way tilting that the kids started playing with when the 5D II videos were popular in early 2010.
