For sure. :) I did not know that Bill was still around. I thought you bailed or were banned, or was that at SR?

Of course. The 170-500 was not a good lens. The old 50-500 without OS was much better. :brilsmurf: I recall that Roger C. posted some ISO test charts when he started renting the lens.

Surely 640GB drives would work as well. Why would one want such an overpriced little device unless space is really tight?

The display is rather small for a GPS. I prefer separate devices for automotive use. A GPS is cheap and doesn't need to be replaced frequently. However, I don't have a need for walking around with an automotive style GPS though I sometimes use a trail GPS.

It is from 50-100 and from 400-500. ;) The issues are the magnification needed and subject distance.

How many of them do you have and how many function properly? :alb:

The ratings of that drive continue to drop.:profleft:

I assume you meant the 300/4 IS vs. the 400/5.6. The original 300/4 is my favorite on FF, but has not been made since the 1990s. Nevertheless, the 100-400 would be more appropriate for your style. The 300/4 is more suited to lower light and shorter reach conditions, whereas the 400/5.6 is...

I happen to use both. ;) For what purpose will the lens be used?

What does Linux have to do with anything?

Hmm. Do you build serious computers, but not so extravagant as the Drueding?

Last week was awful. Hauled around $25K in gear, drove over 1800 miles, flew over 3K miles so far and it was less productive than any week in nearly ten years. Temperatures ranged from 25 - 104 °F, including rain, hail and snow in different states. F*ck the weather. :mad:

Not so fuunny IMO. When were the photos taken?

:reindeer: Yeah. I forsee dirt clogs and failures after a few years or less.

I could not handle wearing glasses and then 3D goggles on top of that. I foresee headaches after a while. Does everyone just stare at the TV continuously for hours? How does one look around the room at other objects/people, or check the computer? :colors:

I make the same mistake every few decades. :errr:

Sometimes it is difficult for me to determine whether a woman is pregnant. I was so sure this time, but apparently she had just gained weight in the abdomen. Is it just me? Perhaps I should not have said anything in a public setting. :o

Can you eject the person from the class? That is what I did in a lecture.

I'm too weak and worn down to be anything else. :(

There are better uses for RAMDisks. :spiderman:

Why would a drive need to be updated if it is designed properly to begin with? :king:

It's one reason that I mainly photograph outside of the US. I only open the camera bag in the US in an area where photography is accepted, such as national/state parks or BLM land, and never aim a lens at humans. Always give over the memory cards when asked.

I've never seen it person, but there was a series on the HBO. :dwarf:

I suspect that age and general condition are important factors. A few G would probably be the end of me.

Wouldn't that be warming the drive? ;) :spiderman:

In other forums the previous versions of edited messages are typically available through a link so that the interested viewer san see what changes were made. It is a fair compromise.

What are expecting to video and who will be viewing it?

So how can that happen?

Is the Evo 4G a completely new product? I'd not be first in line if that is the case. :king:

:o Is XP64 still sold and activatable?

:o Is XP64 still sold and activatable?

I assume it must be Win 7, though it would be nice to dual boot with XP64. :reindeer:

Is 32nm not as much of an improvement as expected?

I'll save some money by buying just a simple $100 video card. :alb:

Can I assume that all of the X58 boards work fine with 24GB (6x4GB), which is a main reason for having a new system? :tounge:

Thanks. I'll see what the results are tomorrow before deciding when to build. :crnval:

I don't notice any significant issues with surfing and only download apps occasionally. E-mailing is the slowest process. :(

Is there a more conventional Gigabyte board with 2 PCIe 8/16 slots that performs as well?

I'm not sure about the case, but that can wait. Is the board that David mentioned really the best one? I'd rather not lose a slot to the giant heat pipe device.

Why do they use a 45 nm process for new CPU models? I thought the new CPUs were based on a 32nm process.:viking:

X58 is the only or best chipset, right? So all the boards would be failry similar.

My upload speed is much less than her download speed. Is it always that way for consumer IP service?

Is that the reason for the dearth of posts lately?

My first phone was $11-12/mo., including touch tone service (fairly new then) and unlisted number. The phones were hardwired back then. :bstd:

Other than briefly, my CPU is not using full power all the time though. Maybe that would change in newer apps, but actual use is nothing like the stress tests.

I have no idea. There is some package with various attributes. We pay for other ripoffs too, such as unlisted numbers. I understand that the cellophone has an ID system. However, my cell is almost always off. Sometimes I check the voicemail and delete a few unintelligible messages in left...

We pay for that too. Most of the spammers have an ID. Only 1-2 people call me for real, and they know to send ID.:@:

No, but I thought Merc was. :cyclop:

So the CPU has a process shrink, but the chipset is inefficient?

I hope it works out but the context doesn't help much. I solve all unexpected phone calls by never, ever answering the phone unless the ID is recognizable. :)
