You are confused somehow. A pentaprism is a viewfinder element which gives you a corretly oriented image (without it the image would be reversed in the viewfinder), not something that takes the place a a reflex mirror.
Every dSLR has a pentaprism viewfinder and a reflex mirror. If you can find one that doesn't please list it.
I would not consider the canon 1d series (including the new 1DX) to be "cheap" as they cost $5-10,000, and they have a reflex mirror and pentaprism viewfinder.
Short Stroking a HDD refers to telling the firmware that a disk has less sectors than it really has. An easy example is setting a 1.5TB drive as a 500gb. That means that you only use the INNER 1/3 of the disk (the fastest part). Additionally you reduce head movement.
Maildir is exactly what you say, a generic email database.
It's not a relational database, as email isn't really relational in nature, but solves most/all of the problems you need to solve around storing emails. The only big "miss" in maildir is that attachments are stored inside the main message, making pass-through deduplication difficult/impossible.
(many storage devices now can auto deduplicate files that are identical, so if you get the same image in 15 different emails due to reply-to-all etc you only store the image once).
I think email clients (and servers for imap-searching) should keep a relational attribute-based index of emails (so that you can instantly pull up all emails from "bob," or all emails on oct 31), but that's an internal implementation note and not the actual mail store.
Canon Australia does the following through facebook: -photo contests -"what's your best tip for a new photographer" discussions -"why do you shoot photos?"
etc.
And they routinely give away free stuff to good posts.
I would call that interaction. It's creating conversation and adding value in addition to simply marketing.
They're saying that if facebook: -stores the fact that you have a friend named John B -from crawling one of John B's actual friend's phones, stores his phone number and estimates the city from the area code -from another friend searching "John B - Plymouth High School" stores which school he went to
And this is the important bit:
-aggregates all of those into a "ghost profile" for John B with his high school, city, and phone number
Then perhaps they should be fined. It's the final step, not the accepting the data to begin with.
For some reason it's common in the US to consider desktop support, networking, and administration as "IT". Odd, as here in AU everything tech related is "IT".
Through no real fault of your own you are confusing "google apps" with "google app engine".
"google apps" (what you are referring to) lets you run your own domain/business/school/etc using google services including mail/docs/etc. You ALSO get access to google app engine, but it has no real connection to google apps.
"google app engine" is what is being discussed here. It lets you use python or java to write your own web applciations which are run on google's cloud. You get access to google technologies such as big table/auto scaling/etc.
The issue is, google used to have a free model that was quite generous, and a paid model. The paid model actually allows you to "enable" billing, but still get a MORE generous "free" quota. This was amazing, because you could say "I'll spend up to $20 a month on this app, but simply be letting google charge me they'll let me do more for free." A lot of devs on the paid tiers still got free service. Most importantly, there was NO minimum charge per app. If an app wasn't hit a single time, it'd cost you nothing.
Now they have decreased free limits, set a minimum cost per month, and dropped the entire idea of free quotas for paid apps. This means that, for example, some people who had 5 apps deployed and spent $20/month between them now are paying at least $45, and likely several hundred due to removal/reduction of free quotas for paid accounts.
It's now cheaper to use amazon, PLUS you get more control (which can be good or not) for small open source community apps.
I do not completely agree with Intel here, but my take on the situation is as follows:
Intel knows their market, and sees that there are 10X people willing to pay $Y, 5X people willing to pay $2Y, and 1X people willing to pay $10Y. Each of these groups of people expect to get more than the group under them, but the group under them is not willing to pay more.
Up until now, they've been "binning" chips. If a chip can't pass the speed tests to be worth $10Y, then sell it as $2Y. If it cant' pass those tests, sell it as the cheap chip.
However, what if in this line of chips ALL of the chips start passing the higher speed test? The market will not bear selling all of these chips at $10Y, so they have two options:
-permanently "bin" the chips with some sort of laser cut trace -soft-"bin" the chips
They've chosen the second, and since they have, there's no reason not to allow people to re-upgrade them later.
Telstra offers quite reliable 3G service, and for $30 on prepaid you get about 400 minutes (depending on call lengths) plus 400 megs, $40 gets you ~1000 minutes and 800 megs, or $60 gets you 2000 minutes and 3GB.
Where would you classify Debian k-FreeBSD, which is Debian running over the FreeBSD kernel? And Debian GNU/Hurd? Are they "less" a linux distro than other flavor of Debian?
Are you serious? Neither of those are Linux distributions!
If you install cygwin does that make windows a "linux" distribution?
Nonsense. You don't need negotiation to determine this. Just watch the input VOLTAGE. If the voltage starts to drop as you pull more current, then the supply is limited and you need to do something about it. That takes NO intelligence in the supply other than the natural current limiting.
In the example given above, what if the power supply is overspecced, but is on a 12V 10A fuse (as most/all car cigarette lighters are).
A properly specified power supply will never drop voltage to a point of current insufficiency in its usable range, but other pieces of the puzzle may not be up to task.
$650-750 matches what they sell it for in every other country, dollar/tax/etc adjusted.
Apple is not charging a premium to have an unlocked phone. ATT is giving you $500 credit for choosing a 24 month contract. That, again, is about the same as other countries, it's just that ATT isn't transparent.
Here, with Telstra, you get a phone repayment credit with each plan. A $50 plan gives you $20 a month phone repayment credit. So on a 24 month plan, you can choose a phone up to $480, or pay the different (monthly or up front) on a phone >$480.
This is what people originally assumed, but is incorrect. Here in Australia we have 4 different networks offering iphones for sale locked.
If I go to the mall and buy a Telstra iPhone, still in box and still shrinkwrapped, completely unactivated, it will NOT activate with anything apart from a Telstra SIM. If you put in an Optus SIM it will tell you immediately, before activation, that it has the wrong SIM in it and refuse to activate through itunes.
I know this from having done it personally. You have to buy a prepaid SIM from the carrier you bought it from, activate it, call said carrier and ask for an unlock (free to $99 depending on carrier), wait ~24 hours, sync to itunes again (and get the "congratulations on unlock!" message), and then use a different SIM.

I second this recommendation. I run two of these (1 as a router, 1 as a bridge) with tomatoUSB.
DD-WRT runs just as well on it.
The kindle reads PDFs as well, and has for years.
That was not made when the engine was GPLd and old, it was made under private licensing arrangements and new.

I didn't say no states have minimum limits, I said I don't know of any states for which the speed limit is ALSO a lower limit.
"It's actually illegal to drive above the speed limit or below the speed limit in the US"
This is incorrect for two reasons.
1. The US doesn't have uniform driving laws
2. I don't know of any state with such a law.
An example from california law:
http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc22400.htm
It is illegal to impede the normal flow of traffic, but it is not illegal to drive below the speed limit.
Do you live in the Australia, or are you from the US?
I ask because none of those three lies are told in australia, and it sounds like teamsters/etc talk from the US.
Thanks to the general lack of Americans many things which do not work in the USA work in Australia.

TomatoUSB started life as a USB storage addition to tomato, but is now the "extended router list" distro for Tomato.
I run it on my linksys E3000 and love it. Gigabit, dual band N, and performance to spare.
But a solution architect is working in IT, and likely reports to the CIO, who is, funny enough, in charge of IT.

The latest version of SPD barely works with apache extensions (as it's really only meant for editing sharepoint sites, hence the name change!) now.
You're likely better off switching to Blend.
