Why are these so much more expensive than these? Is the quality really better?

Bleh. That is a messed up situation. How often are you forced into that activity? I would not waste money on that in particular, but the 17-55 IS is still a fine general purpose lens for the EF-S body.

Yes, I've eaten supper on some Christmasss at a Chinese food restaurant. I'm not going to restaurants except when necessary. I'm not supposed to eat practically anything that I would want to eat anyway.

Too many stores are closed tomorrow, including the liquor stores I presume. I need to at least go out and forage for food.

Bah. I hate renaming schemes and revising history. It's like the fools that decide a 5D is now a 5D classic or 5D Mark I, or that photo film is not film, but analog media.

Great. :( How was the recovery and how long did you take off work?

It sounds suspicious. Is there an authorized photographer and you are just tagging along? Your best bet in general is to use fast primes and an FX camera with good high ISO characterstics. Look at Nikon.

You need to buy a good flash and flash bracket and then learn to use light modifiers.

What is TOS - not terms of service?

I'm not familiar with the remakes of the pilots, specific shows, or copycat series, but the Star Trek TV series was comprised of individual episodes that can be seen in any order. Year by year is probably fine though some of the 3rd season was not up to snuff. Basically they had no budget...

The Lendovo is a 5 lb. machine with the 6-cell pack. It is a little wide, but fine for most users.

Now I have four GPS devices, one trail and three vehicle types. That does not include the flaky one that was disposed. There does not seem to be any interactoion between them except when very close together (basically touching). It may be blockage more than anything else. UI wish there was...

Why is it that when I want to buy something it is not on sale that day and even if it is on sale I always forget to order until it is too late.

Sure is, but how is it fixed?

Yeah, and I'm not surprised. HDs will be around for a long time.:colors:

Now they just need a company in China to crank them out in volume.

You may have some cookies that I don't or be using a different bowser.

That link is to the general site. Is it the Antec device that is basically a 5.25" internal toaster turned sideways, with the ass-end of the drive sticking out during operation?

The new 24 TSE II is so much better. It is optically the best 24mm, being very sharp and not having the strong CA of the old lens. It also has independent tilt and shift movements and a very large 68mm circle of coverge. Typically I use such lenses from f/8-11 so the focusing accuracy is not...

The better memory cards are SLC and have multi-channel controllers.

Bring back Quantum. :D

14 ms access time is faster than most drives today. :)

Where is the running glass, roughly?

By backup I mean an entire backup plan, such as having two different vendors. So if Amazon has a crap "clouding" system, your company should be able to switch to another vendor's services very quickly. Obviously it costs money to maintain a backup and many companies would not find it worthwhile.

Is it the old one or the 24 TSE II?

Uh, no. The 17/4 TSE has plenty of depth of field at normal distances. I have one around somewhere.

In the meantime, computers and storage need hard drives. If Seagate and WD fail, then I'm sure that somebody else will start up HDs again.

What is a night event and why would you want a semi-wide for the that with reduced DOF? Of course there are some fast lenss like 24/1.4G, which are usable on DX, but they are better suited to FX/FF. Typically the fast aperture is used for low light, not reducing DOF. It all seems rather odd...

Maybe you want a Thunderbolt device?

The last Sandisk USB flash drives I got were just awful. I think it used the 3x cell flash and write speeds are worse than a good flash drive was 3 years ago. If I need decent speed I mostly I use memory cards and a tiny cardreader now.

Apparently not today. :(

A common website I visit diplays only that it is offline due to a major EC2 outage. WTF does that mean? Don't big websites have a backup of some sort?

I have a USB 3 toaster, which is probably not what you want.

I agree. It looks like a bad design. Being quite top heavy it should be vulnerable to attacks on the legs and forces that could simply topple it over sideways.

I told you the 17-40 was not such a good choice for EF-S. :frusty: Buy the 17-55/2.8 IS. It is the proper lens. In fact there are people that keep an EF-S body just for utility of the 17-55 IS.

The Christian Scientologies are into the Star Wars movies? I'd think they would run into difficulties operating heavy military equipment on the public roadways.

Wow, it really snows that much? I would be fine with that. Now on the other subject, maybe I will rent an SUV.

Hmmm. I only have one kind of tire on all four rims whether it is summer, winter, or October.

Hibachi backs up in the clouds? Sounds like BS to me.

I got another 300. That makes 3 prime 300 Ls not to mention the two 100-400s. I am diseased.

I hardly get internet in hotel rooms, much less anywhere else. Does that device only work in the Gobi desert? :D

Great. That works on the home PCs. I wish I could do that with the work computer.

I'm younger than Bozo and older than JTR if that suffix the birthdate.

:oops: It reads CN North America NT 2011.10 [1] USA and Canada.

With many products there is very little choice. :(

Does the GPS work correctly in Canada? I would assume so, but has anyone crossed the border with one in place?

Sure, and it would be the last time. Anyways, I'd rather be where I can be. I'm not sure why it is there in Canada, but the leaders have decided on the place.

Maybe is because the criminals are lurking around or the area is nearly abandoned?

Ha! I see that is like what we used as Liquid Paper. The kind they sold in glass bottles in 1970 was really good stuff, then they ruined it later on by changing to a reduced toxicity solvent.

Detroit no doubt would be very frightening place for me. I have not been to the NYC either. I'll take my chances on the SG, although I would not survive a minute without a guide.
