    What do you mean? There are women in motion everywhere, many of which apparently need more supportive undergarments. That is not to mention some men that could benefit from a "bro."

    Why not? It's worth a PhD in some places.

    Maybe it was at SR or some other forum and back in the days of Windows 2000. Deleting the extraneous entries did not help my situation at the time.

    How much "online" storage do you have?

    Why do they have to be "online?" Not everyone likes to run up the electric bill and leave computers on 24x7. :( I can have 11TB up and running in 2 minutes. Is that close enough?

    Hacking or cracking cameras is quite scary. :o What if the procedure fails and one is left with a $8,000 brick? How expensive would a repair cost be and would Canon know the cause?

    Are either of these any good for data storage? It seems like the DVD±RW is long in the tooth.

    EMC release solid state enterprise drives

    Yes, I have seen some too. ;) I meant to ask if each 146 GB drive is the standard size or is the capacity only achived by a large device that takes the space of several drives.

    I don't see anything about the size of their SSDs. Are they much larger than 3.5" standard height drives?

    I think they sell as a front for someone else and the products are drop-shipped to the purchaser.

    I have a Tripplite UPS that has been on since 1998. I needed to replace the battery in 2004, but that is normal for lead cells.

    How much "online" storage do you have?

    I don't even know anymore, but it muct be close to 15TB. More interestingly, I wonder what percentage of peoples drives are filled with material they own the copyright to or have legal right to, as compared to how much material is illegal audio, videos, etc.

    Large Drives

    Tony, The Samsung F1 (1 TB) has been out since December in the US. I like it and may buy more. :) However, I read about a firmware problem with some chipsets (not a problem for typical add-in controllers though). Also note that 250GB PATA and 320GB SATA notebook drives are available, and that...

    Which cam/lens for flowers? LM,Tan, ed, Handy?

    I have over 30 years of serious photo experience and have purchased dozens of UV-type filters in a dozen sizes, including about 8 of the B+W MRC 010 variety. Practically clear means that the color of the image does change enough to be concerned about in normal use. If color is super-critical...

    Which cam/lens for flowers? LM,Tan, ed, Handy?

    General purpose UV filters made with high quality MC glass are practically clear over the visual range and do not affect normal exposures. Cutoffs and slopes vary between brands and are typically between 370-390 nm. Filters like the 2B or 2A have higher cutoff wavelengths around 400-420 nm...

    Which cam/lens for flowers? LM,Tan, ed, Handy?

    No, of course not. Some of the old Ektachromes were excessively UV sensitive, but there is little difference with most films and digital cameras have internal UV and IR filters. Polarizers can cut haze to some extent if that is what you want.

    Which cam/lens for flowers? LM,Tan, ed, Handy?

    I doubt that you would need a filter for flowers unless there are some crazy flying bugs or something, but get this filter if you need one.

    This year she needed an extra circuit brought in to power all the tree lights, lawn creatures, and the blower-powered ones. :lol: Joe would have "blown a fuse". ;) Then Santy had a mechanical problem and was semi-trapped in the chimney. It was hysterical. :D

    Which cam/lens for flowers? LM,Tan, ed, Handy?

    B+W is the gold standard of filters. ;) Use this lens at around f/11 for the best center/corner compromise. A wider aperture should be acceptable if you are cropping to only the central 38% of the image or don't have important details at the corners.
