My last mouse has gone to the great PS/2 graveyard. :crap: Now I'm faced with the propect of the USB mice. My PS/2 keyboard is rather old and dirty so I should replace that as well. So the question now is what to do for a KVM. I'm confused about which one to get. I only need to switch the...

Yes, and it makes even less sense at 1.6 crop than at the 1.3 crop. 135 is always a portrait lens to me.

I tried the one 7D last year and it was not good. I may try again this summer, and the prices will be less. Make sure to test the body carefully and that there is a good return policy. ;) 135/2 is a rather odd lens on EF-S. :skepo: What lenses do you have now?

Faster for a file server, maybe?

I don't know about sports but I do some wildlife. ;) Tony could probably help you, too. I use the * for AF, keeping the AF mode always in AI servo. (IIRC some of the lower bodies have three AF settings, one is a funky auto mode that never works right.) I move the focus point around quite a...

Yes, that is about right. Too many are hung up on the eneloop variety to consider which are best for the specific purpose. I use the traditional NiMH cells for GPS, GMRS/FRS and other applications where devices are charged/discharged frequently for days/weeks in a row and maximum capacity is...

That sucks.:( It would be difficult for changing personal functions in that case.

Damn, that is a ton of drives. :o

Right on! I've been ripped off too many times, so I don't even bother to send in rebates. At least when you buy a car with cash they take the rebate off the top.

Well stated, as usual. :)

What office would have such an elaborate set of lights, a display room? Why would you be doing the work? Is that an odd side job?

Yes, but you know how to make it work. I'm still stuck in 32-bit land at least 50% of the time. Did you use this drive or something else?

Of course they are not the low-discharge type, but that is not how I understood the question.

What was the question, then? Those are not the Eneloops, but they are fine batteries.

No herpe. I was there with an American woman.

You must go and try it for the experience. I was never the same after traveling in Europe for the first time. :)

:o If I win the lottery I'll hire you build one of the massive RIADs.

Sure. They are the same kind.

Yes, that is what we are saying. Even I only keep a system board about 18 months.

No, you do not need SATA 6 for SSDs. You want a decent controller and board.

I'm guessing you repaired a few TVs. ;) The problem was often not the tubes, but bad caps or rectifiers, flyback transformer, etc. and one bad tube could affect others. What a pain it was back then.

Damn. You should get out of the US once in a while. I think you might be more comfortable in some other countries.

Isn't that a little early or late, depending on how you view the situation? :) Are there still good deals on 2009 holiday overstocks?

Sorry. I was waiting for David's technique/settings.

The opposite of improper technique. :mrgrn:

An f/1.8 lens should be decent even in that light. Are you using proper AF technique?

I have a relative with over 1000 pens collected. However, nobody is allowed to use them as writing implements. :)

Those are but a few of many reasons. Yet I am much worse in some ways.

For 1-2 day domesticated trips do you like to stand/wait in 4 places or carry it on?

I suspect that is a large part of the problem. Have you never even been to Europe?

Hey, I learned about electronics since the 1960s by buying all sorts of parts at the Shack. They also had a tube tester. :D

Why didn't you wait until he was at least partly facing the camera?

Get a decent mobo. A single X25-E is so much faster on ICH 10, both in R/W IOPS, and access times.

If I knew any of my e-mail passwords, I might have been able to check online.;) It was working a bit later.

I don't know the reason. Obviously it is the ISP since the internet is fine.

My e-mail is dead for no good reason. :bibber:

Well 40 years is a long time ago to me.

:( My father had some anger issues too. Fortunately he took most of them out on the Germans before I was born. ;)

.

$1.34 billion gross in 24 days. Just crazy.

If I were to bite the bullet and get that WD10TEVT even if the ass is hanging out, what reliable vendors have them? Searches don't reveal familar names. Thanks.

WD20EARS. How it that compared to WD20EADS other than the extra cache?

In the olden days, principals swatted students with large wooden paddles that had holes drilled in them. I don't think it had any effect on anything.

Oh that is terrible. Was it a relative?

Duh. I did mean to write it like that. I understand that most of the SF members can amply afford the phones and devices. :) It just seems that so many young people without high paying jobs have them. I guess it is a prioroty, but I shake my head sometimes.

Where did the thumb down come from? It is weird.

That is for personal use I assume. How can you all justify the initial and ongoing cost for such a cell phone/device?

35 MB/sec. is slow and 40Gb is tiny for Vista and Windows 7. Will people want them in netbooks? Maybe.

They have been listed for some days or maybe a week. Given the relative sluggishness of the X25-M, I'd only consider them for applications that don't need much write performance.

It seems like aeons. :)
