I was sweating bullets there for the 3 minutes it takes for the 10MB firmware file to load into the 1Ds MK III. ;) The AF selection options (including return of the MK II registered point modes) are well worthwhile.

There is a new member added seemingly every time I log it in.

I've been using Sanyo rechargeable cells for over 40 years. ;)

New firmware for 1Ds MK III and 1D MK III. http://www.canon.com/eos-d/index.html Includes the following new features that were frequently requested by customers to the new firmware. Direct selection of AF points by the Multi-controller is added to C.Fn III-9. Settings 3, 4, and 5 of C.Fn...

How difficult is it to remove that heatsink?

I'll buy one if it will help.

I think I have some idea. :(

...algae creates diarrhea... Well, you asked.

.

The Eneloop cells are fine - no need to mess around with bargain brands.

No lights, no backgrounds, no place to shoot...

I saw that "300" film on the cable TV. Surprisingly boring it was for a war flick. I don't know what was up with the Scots and Brits in major roles; it did not feel very Greek or Persian to me.

I don't have the proper equipment for indoor setups anymore, though that was one of my main interests in the 70s and early 80s. :(

A healthy performance increase was observed compared to the previous generation. http://www.storagereview.com/WD3000BLFS.sr?page=0%2C2

It's nearly impossible with all my gear. I never have the right equipment.

A cardiac event? :(

$1300-1500 for 32GB is too much.

I only want 15-20 GB for boot drive, etc., not 300GB. I hope there will be a 150 GB version to replace my nearly 5-year old 74GB drive.

How can I photograph all of my Canon gear without using one of the camera bodies that should be photographed? It seems like a riddle, but someone requested that I do this. :) Maybe I could do a composite of some kind.

Thanks. It is clunky but seems to work. (I forget most of that DOS command line stuff from the 1980s.)

We need to send a rescue mission to Indiana. :)

Perhaps. My plan for shooting an informal occasion is to send RAW to the CF slot and JPG to the SD slot, then do some sort of batch stripping of the EXIFs on the jpegs. It's not practical to process numerous RAW files on a notebook in a reasonable time.

Save for web seems to reprocess the image for compression. I thought there was a simple way to strip the EXIF data only. I don't understand why anyone would want the EXIF data in files, other than for instructional or specific technical purposes.

Buy the manufacturer brand whenever possible. ;)

The download speed is fine, being maxed out on my mediocre connection.

Out of curiosity I tried some jpegs for the first time in several years. How can one remove all the EXIT info from a 1Ds MK III .jpg file without reprocessing the image? I want to keep the files confidential. Thanks.

Don't compare me to Merc. As far as I can determine he is a brilliant young man with depressive or bipolar "internal" problems for the most part. These are very serious struggles as anyone who has dealt with a friend or family member with such challenges can attest. :( I'm not a happy camper...

It would not really be sooner, but perhaps much later. There are difficult decisions – all options suck in different ways. Western culture wants to keep the old, rotting bodies around forever. Western medical technology has the capability, not to mention the self-interest in racking up charges.

It has been quite a while now. I hope he is receiving treatment, not dead somewhere. :(

Alvy Singer: [addressing the camera] There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life...

No more denial. Reality is upon us. Some would say I did better than many, but failed at the important parts.

We are a long way from CO. :(

Pringless can?

My clock does not pick up the time signal very well except near a window. Is there a wireless way to boost the signal to the clock - some kind of simple repeater?

I have improved safety, fuel use and overall costs by moving much closer to work. I don't want an exploding hydrogen vehicle. Oh, the humanity!

I use the supplied Asus software, which reports the same temps in the BIOS. A thermistor on the heatsink reports a few degrees cooler, so I think it is accurate.

Anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour.

Maybe the site is being overwhelmed by last-minute tax filers?

There are a lot of options. Do you run it forever and in which mode?

CPU temps are the same as ever, usually around 41°C up to a max of 50°C under continuous load after a while. Nothing has changed in the system for a long time. The fan is fine.

My machine is crashing and rebooting sometimes during RAW conversion. Is something in there dying out, maybe CPU or the RAM?

Sorry, Doug. :oops:

Uh oh. If you don't pay the electric bills it will be lights out, UPS or not. ;) Meanwhile the fourm is sooo slow. :(

Are you marrying that foreign woman? Is it your first marriage? Make sure to get your financial and legal affairs in order.

Dimmable fluorescent lighting has been around at least since the 1960s IIRC. I don't know how efficient they are however. One can design areas with mixed types and brightnesses and efficieny of lighting for different purposes. Do you have an experienced designer starting from scratch or is...

Better than a calibrated Eizo?

For some seconds I saw many whirlygigs then it froze.

Heh, I hope it is not delayed for eons like the Atlas 10K III. :)
