Swear...swear...SWEAR. No kidding...next time you're confronted with a menu and want to bypass that waste of time, swear up a storm. Random or a string of expletives...result is ususally the same - a real human being on the other end in no time.
and never shake a Starbucks DoubleShot ~before~ you've opend the can - the resulting spew does a keyboard no good at all [on the bright side, it was a cheapy kb so no great loss].
No flaming intended in my original reply but, having researched the use of such a rig and its applicability to the type of field survey work done by the company I used to work for, more than a handful of others [PHB's, typically] were under the impression that the camera interpolated the exact location of the target structure being captured and didn't immediately grasp that the GPS coords were for the camera rig itself. That was my point.
Many years ago, well before RFID was a twinkle in anyone's eye, this is how speeder's were nabbed on the tollway that ran between Dallas and Fort Worth. The difference between the timestamps on the ticket [at the entry and exit gates] was calculated and, if too short [indicative of travel above the posted speed limit], you guessed it, busted!
That tollway long ago paid for itself [well, the drivers paid for it] but it's interesting to see an old idea crop up in updated form, as it were.
Exactly right and the reason I closed my PP account and don't deal on ebay any longer.
For quite some time it worked great [I collect old Macs and ebay was a good source] and got burned for a small amount just once in many transactions so I was a happy camper. But when ebay bought out PP and introduced a conflict-of-interest deeper than a transAtlantic trench, I said no more. Their collective responsiveness to conflicts seems non-existent so why pay to be abused?
As the OP said, unless you're prepared to part with your $$$/goods and not see a return, steer clear.
"You still need to change the oil every 3,000 miles."
It is the oil companies & quickie oil change joints that would have you believe this. If true, why does my vehicle's manufacturer recommend 5,000 or 7,500 mile oil changes, depending upon driving conditions? I'm not negating the need for regualr service but let's not perpetuate the hype.

Snarg.net Instead of being hammered with info overload right off the bat, Snarg offers a gradual way to get into right frame of mind - problem is, I sometimes forget why I fired up the browser in the 1st place.
Thespamletters site has been mentioned before here on /... way back when he was much more prolific in his writings but has fallen off. Still, the book might make for a great addition to the bookshelf [nope, I'm not associated with our humorous Mr. Land].

Site's being /.'d bigtime...anyone fast enough to mirror the good stuff?
TIA
Sorry if this is a repeat...didn't find it.

OT...

Comcast spews spam in whopping amounts as well. More tripe arrives in my mailbox from them than any other system.

Usenet ~is~ music. DRM hasn't made it there.
Enjoy.

"...so you can tell where on the track the shot is...."
or, more precisely, where the camera was when the photo was taken.

You might start here, assuming you'd be working w/ SBC: CLEC Handbook

If I'm reading you right, you read wrong.
From the article re: the HMP-A1:

Local storage...great thing if you never get out of the house. For those who do have a life...um, my mistake, this _is_ /. WTF was I thinking?

What would have been nice is a mirror of the TheOpenCD 1.4 release, not v. 1.2
Ebay, dude, Ebay.
You are...why do your friends call it your square-headed girlfriend?

Spot on - once again, Iomega hits the market with overpriced goods and lots of hype. After the CoD fiasco, Iomega is dead in my net.
You didn't have to take the "(^.^) insert witty message here (^.^)" statement literally, did you? ;-)

Hmmm...are you suggesting a DoS [denial of scam] attack? I like...

Sure looks to me like the more common 2-headed frog sitting on top of the ususal 1-headed model...note all the extra feet/legs.
