Sorry. The site is very slow today for me and the flood control does not function. :(

I'll see your monkey and raise you two lemurs. :)

I can't seem to find a monitor larger than 21" (1200x1600) that is of normal height proportions, not the wide-screen crap. Am I missing something? Thanks.

I confess to little knowledge of basements. They are not popular in the fault zones. ;)

Do you miss the P4 in the summertime?

FWIW, I've had problems with the 1TB Hitachi drive not working in an SATA I external enclosure, whereas Samsung and WD 1TB drives worked properly. Unfortunately the Hitachi drives have no jumper. I don't know what to tell you, other than try another brand HD or use a PCI controller of some sort.

There is frequent CC fraud and stores may not ship to a hotel since the CC holder is not registered at that address. Of course it depends on the type of item. I'm not an expert at knives, whether used for killing or for carving turkeys. It is not too difficult to have a $120 sweater shipped to...

Most online stores do not ship to hotels, only a residence or verified CC address.

...unless you are Tea. :D

I stare at the computer screen, waiting for new posts. :) Where is Merc:?: I'm getting worried.

I have 3 TVs turned on, all on different channels, and I'm not watching any of them. :confused:

30 hours in one day - on what planet?

Sick and tired of ORD, flying, snowed in, cancellations, and now just the cold. Going LAX to ORD and STL one's head will ache, perhaps caused by thermal expansion of the skull bones in a short time. ;) Will this winter ever end?

Was the site down for several hours yesterday?

It looks like the O&O only sees certain controllers (mainly the ICH) and not other popular PCIe ones, yet also sees some virtual drives. It is stupid, really.

What does this gross stuff have to do with Pizza?

I downloaded O&O version 10, but it only sees 5 logical drives. :( Is that because it is the trial version or some other issue?

This was the real deal at an expensive native restaurant, not a Japanese restaurant in LA. ;)

I need an ap for XP.

I ate the fugu and survived. :)

What program is best for defragmenting speed? It has been a while since I tried any new software, but 80% full 1TB drives are killing me. :( Thanks.

The DVD-based recorders are a nightmare when the DVD fails to finalize and creates a coaster.

We haven't seen much from Mercutio lately.

1D MK III is still not fixed.

Why?

You can buy organic beef at some of the finer groceries. I'm not sure how much better it really is.

I've seen many types of squirrels around the world and yes some are quite dark. In some locations colors vary widely even in the same species. At the south rim there are a lot of chipmunks as well as squirrels. Unfortunately tourists tend to feed them.

I no longer have any fast lenses for digital. Maybe I should just rent a 5D+35/1.4 for a few days. A fast 35 was a lens used frequently in the 70s and 80s. These are times when I miss the high end compact 135 rangefinders; they have not been equalled in the digital era. Nobody you would know.

It's a tool, and an old one at that. Maybe they are called something else now.

Wrong thread?

My 1TB F1 is fine for data storage. I don't bother to run utility tests when the data integrity is good.

Oh crap, I stepped on a spudger in the dark and right foot is punctured.

What lens do you use at a funeral?

I'm thinking about this new Sandisk mp3 player. It seems to be a 4GB version of the player here. What do you think?

I'll pass too. I'm sick of downloading all the flash viewers and whatnot.

That sensor uses a typical process size, similar to that of the sensor in the Canon rebel XTi and 40D. Unfortunately the Sony sensor has only 12-bit A/D conversion. Perhaps that is because it is rather noisy, but who knows. It would be nice to see a 14-bit version of the sensor in the...

I think you should buy one. :)

Maybe the weight/bulk is no problem for you, but add an appropriate backpack, a pair of camera bodies, a couple of other lenses, plus a decent tripod and the total weight would easily be 70lbs. :( I'm sure such a lens would be useful in certain situations, but IME a lighter, faster setup is...

It looks more like an indoor sports lens than a nature lens, unless you are doing large mamals and/or not venturing far on foot. I'd much rather have a 200-500/4 or even 200-600/4 with VR/IS.

Whatever...

So how does that recover the data? :D

I would not buy a used camera body, but it is relatively easy to test a lens. I purchased a fair amount of used lenses for 6x7 because the price differential from new was quite high at the time. The only 35mm lenses I purchased used were a 35/1.4 Ai (>15 years ago in person), and a 300/4 L...

What does that mean in English?

Where did you get the photo?

WTF, it contains salt water? Is the ocean too poluted or something?

Me either, but some people buy all kinds of weird stuff. I don't buy used hard drives, but I have purchased used lenses.

Go to the beach. :)
