:rotfl: So true. You are also from CA, correct?

But who knows? Next week there may be a spyware on iPhone or whatever. If I ever get a smarting phone I will not use it for anything personal. I think it does not hurt to place opaque tape over the camera too.

Less is fine, but something about none is just not quite right. Be glad you were not in Europe in the 1980s. Many of the Italian and German women did not shave anything. No money to Gillette and Schick whatsoever. :)

WTF? How can that be legal, or are there no laws at all anymore?

Heh, in the 70s I had big hair and beard/moustache too. :rr: Women were pretty hairy then down south, too - not much waxing. :(

Sure that was, but times have changed.

My friend indicates that is what is expected from most men nowadays.

Oh yeah, the consumer is completely screwed from birth to death, and worse very year. I'm trying to select a cheap cremation/funeral deal, so they don't try to screw my ancestors. The problem is they can bankrupt first and you get screwed alive.

Oh, does most porn has a believable plot line?

:colors: :cheers: :bravo: :salut: :bow: :king: Here's to Merc reaching 15K! :beer:

Well, one can buy a drive and enclosure if one is willing to spend more and live with the bulk. I like the smaller size/lower weight of the integrated external drives. They also usually have better shock absorption than the enclosures purchased separately. Aren't the Seagate externals the same?

The portabale USB-powered drives are not designed to be user serviceable, so the fact that the drives cannot be reused is an inconvenience you must accept. In the days of the 320-640GB drives I pulled quite a number of them from WD Passports, Toshiba Canvios, etc. for use as internal drives. I...

I know he does not desire the WD drives, yet they were flooded already. That will not help anything or anybody.

Santilli spoils the ending. :)

I don't mean legs either.

I mean what natural males do.

I was just trying to help. :(

Are these shaving solutions for the facial hair only? What about shaving the, er, southern regions?

A utility should run completely independently of the installation in case of a total borked or infected drive. Can Windows 7 now create an backup that can be directly restored from a thumb drive for example?

Well I'm not sure exactly, but it is something about young women modeling underwear.

It has been that way for over a year, since around the time that micro USB replaced mini USB in WD Passports. IIRC I mentioned it in a thread some time ago. In fact it is surprising that did not occur long ago as the price of a single board must be less than adding the separate bridge board...

:b-day: JTR

So Merc, do you like the "The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?" That should be your cup of tea.

An iPhone needs special gloves to operate? That's crazy. What about bare fingers?

Who???

Wow, you obviously don't want to understand what a tax is. The deposit on beverage containers is there to encourage reuse/recycling and reduce improper disposal as trash.

I'd really like the looks of that TK35 although it is rather bulky. In early 2012 I should be staying where they have fences, but maybe in the next year I'll be out in the temp camp if they have the other group. Of course by then the lights may be brighter yet.

I prefer the single 18650-based flashlights in the pocketable type. The 2xAA lights type are heavier, longer, and have less capacity. I have been using Zebras for the convertible headband/headlight style. They are small and light, but not the most rugged. Mostly I use them on a middle setting...

That video would be in violation then if used for commercial purposes without release.

I don't think so. :)

Who is that chewing in the doorway, Doug?

Can we make that a separate thread?

Which do you prefer when buying online, directly from the manufartucter or from the retailer?

Whoa, dudes. :erm:

Somehow I purchased about $5K of stuff in the past week. I'm not enthusiastic about any of it either.

Is that music old enough to be free of royalties?

I said most.

According to supply figures, flash prices will go up a bit. Some SSDs are replacing hard drives due to the shortage.

All of the tests indicate the f/2.8 IS II lens is better than the f/2.8 IS (not that the latter is a bad lens), so I won't be testing them for comparison. Actually I will be comparing the f/2.8 IS II to the f/4 IS. With a 1.4x III TC the f/2.8 IS II should be better than the f/4 IS.

Your back needs to last a long time and only gets worse with age. Stop abusing it now!

It was not in stock, just ordered. I should get rid of the 70-200/2.8 IS. I have not used it in nearly 5 years since getting the 70-200/4 IS.

Does Costco sell a good range of TVs up to the high-end models or only a limited selection focused on cheap ones? I'm frustrated that many stores have a limited choices of products and the one I want (mid-high range) is often not carried.

So I finally bought the 70-200/2.8 IS II. It is the last of the five different Canon 70-200 L lenses that I never owned and sixth overall (I had a couple of the 70-200/2.8 IS for a while). Missing that one lens was annoying me terribly. I was thinking about it in May, but bought another 300...

I'm assuming it was not work related, but he does crazy stuff there, too.

Did you have surgery?

I received some products from the egg earlier in the week and lately observed that there is a packet of the HOGOOD COFFEE in the box. Has anyone else experienced that oddity?

Well of course that is in addition to anything from the rubbers.

Need more battery acid? :)

View NX2 is multi-threaded. I converted 111 random D7000 (16MP) NEF files to 8-bit TIFs over ~4 minutes. The CPU goes up to 100% part of the time and averages maybe 70%. That's roughly the same as other converters such as DPP, being limited by the reads (2.23GB) and writes (5.01GB).

Yes, I meant Capture NX/2. View NX2 is very basic. I thought is was multi-threaded though.
