Wow, two new cards that are both slower than the 8800GT.

Has anyone tried GE's Daylight CFLs? They have a 6500K rating and a CRI of 82.

Some of the fluorescent lights look nice in your pictures JTR, but are any of them CFLs? Aren't they all long tubes?

Congrats Clocker :D

None of the e3living.com links are working for me.

They have a good deal on a package in the US at Costco.

You don't have Costco in Canada?

Wow, congratulations... You figured out people are naturally greedy. ;)

Nonsense! I don't know anything, and I don't need to. I have the gov't to look after me and take care of everything including public transportation. Long live socialism!

You and the "boyz" should take a course in capitalism you might learn a lot. :rolleyes:

There's way too much tinfoil hat / conspiracy thinking going on in this thread. If all these light rail lines / public transportation schemes were so profitable and useful in the past and some evil corporation shut them down to help their own selfish goals then the free market would worked (as...

Wow, more socialism at work...

Look, we can go back and forth with anecdotal evidence all day long. Mismanagement or poor management and cronyism driving up the cost of a particular project doesn't mean all freeways are that expensive. If a light rail system was profitable they'd be all over the country and companies would...

Wikipedia has costs for light rail systems. Google turns up lots of links for the cost of a highway per lane. JTR just lives in his own world when it comes to trains and cars. Freeways don't necessarily make money, but they aren't money pits like light rail systems either.

I don't know where you came up with these numbers, but they're flat out wrong. A "light" rail system costs nearly 10x as much per mile as a lane of freeway, and carries only 1/10th the number of people on it. So, they puts the light rail at a 100:1 disadvantage to a freeway in terms of cost...

Its performance is pretty solid compared to lots of other drives regardless of the RPM it spins at.

They might know what to do with you though. ;)

No, it's a 5400RPM drive. And SR reviewed it 1 month ago. link

Other than fires, mudslides / landslides, and all the crazy people who live in California. ;)

I've seen it at the local Meijer stations here, so it's around.

Interesting... I wasn't aware such and animal existed.

Apparently a few have "leaked" out into the wild from BB. http://dapreview.net/p/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?70570

Currently your only choice is a LCD in that size and resolution.

I'll have to hold off on buying a new MP3 player for a little while since I just bought a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray reader combo drive for my HTPC for almost $300. :eek: I suppose by the time the Zune80 comes out I'll be ready to buy again. :) (assuming it doesn't suck like the iPod Classic)

You guys actually buy into this crap? :confused: You guys can save some extra carbon credits for me!

18-90...

Where I am Verizon has the best service. I don't know squat about smartphones and the like though so I can't give you and advice.

That depends. You should take a shot and expose for each element in the picture you want properly exposed.

You only need about 3 pictures to do the whole HDR thing.

It probably works adequately. It seems unlikely that they would ship a charger that doesn't work with their batteries.

I've bought one for myself and one for my Dad. I love my Eneloops.

Uhhh... Over $14k?

And as protection from that scratch on the front element you can sacrifice the image quality of every picture you take until that happens. No thanks!

That's kind of what I meant. I'm certainly no real photographer though and I don't use them either. I guess I'm just careful with my gear. I've never had anything happen to one of my lenses that could have been prevented by a UV filter though either.

I want to know what real photographers really put UV filters on their lenses for general use?

I'm waiting to check out the new Sansa View which will have 16GB for $200. (MSRP)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the new iPods. The vast majority of them don't.

Sounds like you have a problem then if you can't use a flash... Maybe you need a night vision scope for your camera.

Why can't you use a flash? The people you are photographing will burst into flames if exposed to a burst from a flash? Look, I'm not suggesting you dump so much light on them it looks like they're dancing in a dark cave, but you can still take candid shots with a flash.

No, you need a flash. You're not going to get much more light than you are. You're already at F1.8. F1.4 won't help you much. You're also not going to get much better low light performance with a new camera either.

It looks like GM figured out how to play the UAW like a Stradivarius. They appealed to the UAW leaders' greed by giving them a huge health care trust to manage. The UAW leaders can then skim tons of money from the trust in administrative fees lining their pockets making them happy. The rank...

I ordered and then canceled an iPod Classic 160GB recently. The 16GB Sansa View for $200 looks promising (not quite out yet).

Is there a reason you intentionally underexposed them?

If you charge your NiMH batteries in 15 minutes they won't last very long.

Costco has a nice Eneloop kit for $26.49.

The UAW is in the midst of pulling a murder suicide on GM. Some of you are thinking about this way too hard. The union isn't as smart and nuanced as you seem to be giving them credit for.

Neither of those are very practical for a large building.

Wait for an overcast day...

I pretty much don't...
