It's not a trick; it's a Nikon.

I am practically dead from the last couple weeks of vacation travel. I flew over 5000 miles and then we drove more than 2400 miles in 8 days (I did 95% of the driving). There was barely time for about 4 hours of sleep each night on the road. Fortunately that rental vehicle had unlimited...

Bleh, they are 16:9 with very small pixel pitch. Why not get a proper 30" monitor?

Damnit Merc! At your age I think it would have been a good idea and not much to lose.

I once returned a small item at Frys and explained that it was defective. I looked for another one but there none remaining in stock. The I resumed shopping, looking for other products. About 30 minutes later I was in the same aisle again and sure enough the one I had returned was on the shelf...

I was on holiday travel for the last two weeks. More about that later...

Woo Hoo! :cheers: Finally. :mrgrn: I wonder if WD will be next.

Is it safe to buy bare drives in the Frys?

Interesting. Is that just the same old RAID controller strategy with a bunch of memory bolted on, or something else?

Is there only a wall unit? Still it should the place after a while.

For most users monitoring and maintenance is impractical and quite expensive compared to archiving. And anything online still needs backups somewhere.

Exactly. La Perla is kind of pricey and she likes those for some reason.

Why? Doesn't management have to fix the AC when it malfunctions?

I had no idea that bras were so expensive.

Then it should spend more time idle after a given task is completed, unless you are making the netbook do more work overall.

iphone is very nice for some purposes.

How fast do they decelerate to zero?

What is that? Google only brings up SF for MRAOPCR.

The basic MRC polarizer is the least I can suggest. Avoid the thin polarizers unless you really need them for superwide lenses.

I meant that if the drive were really dead the E9 attribute would not be readable.

I think you mean decrease speed, i.e., increase duration. :) The purpose is for using wide apertures in bright light. They are more often used for video/motion pictures where you have a fixed or nearly fixed shutter speed. As well ND are good for flowing water.

One of those "racks" was on a man. :hurl:

Yeah, 1000. :beer:

I just received a nice and rather expensive nano-coated B+W polarizer. It is very thin and still has a front thread. Construction is rather better than the Hoyas, which also have good glass.

Normally bad filters negatively affect IQ, but poor filter threads filters can also get stuck on the lens or crossthread. UV or protection filters are especially pointless most of the time, and some of the cheap ones are rather awful.

Cheap filters are a bad idea.

What caused the flames?

:Doh: I meant SF.

Today SR is a happening scene. :) I guess everyone is back at work and posting from there.

Holy moly, that is an oldie. :colors:

That would slow down a computer with good SSD drive. :) I wonder how long that cheap Intel drive will hold out.

Well it was not a commercially prepared taco. Does it really matter? I was suffering the aftermath all day.

Oh my eyes, my eyes. :eek:

Meh. I have better elks than that.

I mean each one was a personal taco, prepared by hand.

If the drive is really dead, how would they know?

Why Merc?

The Paragon tool boots from a disk in Linux or something. The WD Acronis tool was a windows app.

The computer does not see the drive when I tried the Paragon. I have no idea if that bootable disk would be better. It is too late now though as the drive is 75% full. The write speeds seemed fairly normal.

That seems a bit crazy. So if there are 5,000 users you need to do each one manuallly or you have a key file of some kind? I am only the business owner of one computer system at work, but whoever has the sysadmin role is not allowed to know any passwords. Users are trained not to give out...

The amount of force from falling and hitting the base object. Is that the level of wireless? I may be confusing the units.

It is like this drive, but in a retail box. The box had nothing in it but the drive and screws. There is no CD or cables anymore.

Well, that doesn't work in this computer so I give up. I will use the drive without alignment and hope that works.

I had to eat 12 manual tacos in a row. :puke-l:

Yeah, it is the Arconis. :( I have another boot disk program from the Paragon, but was avoiding it.

I have no budget for that. :) Maybe a hammer would work better. The drive is not seen by the alignment utility. :mad:

Normally high megapickels are not needed. Nowadays 1D MK III/IV or D3/D3s with 600/4 or maybe 500/4 are commonly used for the long lens and an assortment of zooms for the land and entering water stuff.

I need to align my EARS, but they have advancing format sectors. Does it matter which computer or OS I use for drive alignment, for example one with XP32 and then use them an x64 system?

Huh? You watch too much CSI up there. :-D

I'm not but it seems that a 3Gs is low.
