  1. Re:I don't think you are going to be happy on iPhone 3.0 Software Announced · · Score: 1

    Installing a VNC server (veency) works for me :)

  2. Case matters on The One-Use, Self-Destructing DVD Returns · · Score: 1

    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.."

  3. ND Filter is not for faster shutter on Hacking Canon Point-and-Shoot Cameras · · Score: 1

    The firmware probably isn't going to be able to get the shutter to go any faster reliably. What you need to use is a ND filter if you like wide apertures. The ND (Neutral Density Filter) is to enable a SLOWER shutter speed - by limiting the amount of light let in the lens. One use is to get a motion effect when taking a picture of a waterfall - enabled by being able to use a longer shutter speed yet get the same exposure as if one did not use the filter.

    If you want to have a FASTER shutter speed for a given exposure then there are 2 variables: ISO - make it lower, or APERTURE - the larger the hole that lets in light the faster you can capture the correct amount.

  4. I do better with beer... on Scientists' Success Or Failure Correlated With Beer · · Score: 1

    Really I do.

    I am a very scatter brained person. After having about 2 beers (slight buzz, beyond that there is no positive change) , it seems to help me focus...

    To make a processor analogy (sorry not a car):
        Before i drink my brain is like a 40 core processor at 1Ghz.
        After a few beers my brain functions like a dual core at 4Ghz.

    Billiards may not be a completely cognitive game, but i still think this makes my point - to quote a friend:
            "No! I will not play you, you have been drinking"
    This is because I am very good at billiards, but only when i'm concentrating.
