I'd prefer it if the darned phones merely plugged into your USB port and you could pull the darned photos off the camera yourself. Haven't found one that'll let you do that yet. For now I'll carry the camera along with the phone.
I've had one that did that. So I took test pictures.
Last pictures I took with the phone.
Tried again with a phone I could connect with BlueTooth. Same story.
Most phones take pictures that are suitable (barely) for viewing on a phone. You certainly don't want to look at them on something else. Extracting them from your cell phone is pointless. No wonder nobody does it. Or maybe it's because I spend too much time with a real camera and it turned me into a snob. Or I don't spend enough on my phones (I lose them every couple month anyway).
Except, you know, that honest people don't run port scans on random machines that aren't theirs.
Of course not, picking a random machine wouldn't be very productive. They run port scans on a potentially interesting machine. (for various values of "potentially interesting")
So... if I buy music on this format (as opposed to CD), I'd be able to just copy the MP3s off to my machine and reuse the card as I see fit, right?
It doesn't seem to be explicitly mentioned but there's a fair chance, from the way the whole deal is presented, that the cards will be read only.
I wonder if there are MicroSD to SD converters/wrappers. Since most laptops and a lot of media players have a SD slot nowadays it would be quite convenient. I've never seen micro SD used outside of phones actually. I guess I never looked at the tiny media players (sticking with my Cowon D2 for now).
I've always thought that those games were kind of lame but suggesting that they be played in pantyhose or stockings certainly is over the top as far as I'm concerned. You should probably take your strange fetishes elsewhere.
Someone's evidentially not been watching Top Gear, which features some of the best camera work on TV and film.
Yes, well, you know, to some of us a show about cars is about as exciting as a show about computers would be to the general public (look ! it's got wheels ! and seats ! whoohoo ! -- yawn)
Like the linux kernel developers are any better...every OS maker is greedy about increased CPU power. I first ran Linux in 1995 and it isn't that much faster now.
Science is relatively new, and eventually you won't need a whole staff of.... No wait that doesn't work, we have janitors and if they can't fix it we have scientists.
I thought we didn't have scientits anymore, just MBAs and fundamentalists ?
"Laughed a lot" ?? What did they smoke ? It's mildly amusing at times, one could actually smile or possibly even chuckle once or twice but there's nothing actually really funny in there. If they made this into a series it wouldn't last a season.
I purchased an HP printer for that desktop system. It literally took me a week to get the damned thing to install.
Hang on isn't this the same company that has solid and stable XP drivers? Doesn't that say something?
What is it with HP and drivers anyway ? They make (some) great printers but their drivers pretty much require a dedicated machine to run on (and an extra stick of RAM).
I use a HP laser (on a Linux server) but only install a PCL driver on the Windows clients (or the Linux ones for that matter). HP drivers are evil.

Obviously Apple encouraged everybody to go Cocoa, [ ... ]>

They can, but only before the next full moon. If they fail to file before that time their lawyers will have to return to hell until the next equinox..
Couldn't they just draw a fresh blood pentagram and summon new ones ??
Only fanatics label other fanatics as being fanatical !
But, that was fixed ages ago :
Note that the number of required characters changes from 17,145 to 18,770 with the installation of SP1.
(from KB276304)
Those wacky MS KB pages, always good for a laugh... (unless you're actually trying to fix something with them of course).
What's obscure about it ??
Unless you're too young to have used a modem or don't know how they work.
Presumably the 1984 date has also been removed because of copyright issues.

Don't mark this post funny, mark it insightful!
I'd mark it scary if I could.

Tell that to the people mixing albums from the ground up for 5.1 listening.
What, to all five of them ?
That's too much work !

*Hmpf*
maybe they should look into encryption ? email is wide open, google or not.
I don't see. How would Google determine that two sites with different domains are hosted on the same physical server, if not by IP number?
I thought they used specially trained little Google elves or something...

Especially since (in Europe at least) most people don't use wall sized TVs and hence don't care all that much about resolution.
Although maybe 70inch diagonal sets may be common in the US... Here I don't know anybody who would see the point of going beyond 35 or 40.
I'll pass going to ProCon for OpEd. Just sounds too weird...
I've put Linux on both Mainframes and Supercomputers. What's really funny on those systems is the following:
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
That's right, you can basically do a "Control-ALT-DEL" and reboot the great big box.
This really annoys the old farts.
Their version of the system doesn't come with shutdown(8) ?

It would be if you'd upgraded your machine.

But the more die you roll out on your board, the more chances one makes its saving throw in canse of failure.
Oh, wait, "die"...
Never mind.
Hah, my gravity powered car gets better mileage than that !
It only goes downhill though (might be a problem in some areas) :-/

"Give me a little robot"... sigh, this is so bad.
iTunes should crash, but Vista shouldn't.
Isn't the purpose of the whole thing that neither crashes ?
