Canon introduced the EF lens mount in 1987 with the release of the EOS cameras. Even the newer bodies that use the EF-S mount are still compatible with the EF mount.
The date verification kit will fail an image if even one *byte* of data is different from the original recorded image. So, yes it could well be used in the courts.
Canon does have 20 new digital cameras coming out this year. Of our current cameras, only 2 use the SC memory card, the SD10 and the SD100. Those cameras use that card only because some consumers want a *tiny* camera. Probably at least one of our new cameras will be SD - most of them won't. I work for Canon doing tech support for their cameras, oh by the way.
Er, you mean Wizardry II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII for PC? I think they only released I - III for the Apple. Sir-Tech is only gone in the US, and Sir-Tech Canada is in the process of finding a publisher for Wizardry VIII right now.

Wizardry
Actually, Wizardry I: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord was the first first person role-playing game, released in 1981, while Might and Magic I was released in 1986. And without Wizardry there wouldn't be a CRPG industry; I cannot fathom why they left it off the list entirely. Oh, yeah, it was released before 1990, wasn't it?
Er...you do know they made more of them, don't you? Wizardry may not have used the "latest and greatest" graphics (I believe Bane of the Cosmic Forge still used 16 color when all the 'cool' companies had gone to 256), but the gameplay has always been top of the line. The Wizardry games are ones I have played over and over again and still enjoy.
Sure wish Sir-Tech could find a publisher for Wizardry 8.
Yep. Just got new vanity plates, renewed my registration for two years, and got a discount for doing it online. VA is backasswards in a lot of areas, but this isn't on of them.
Ordered it the first day I could, read it, loved it. I read UF every day, so I'd seen all the comics before, but I still laughed out loud. Rating: Definite Buy
VB for database programming? I've used Informix 4GL, Visual FoxPro, Delphi, and VB for various database applications and VB is far and away the most difficult, pain-in-the-neck language I've ever seen when it comes to accessing and manipulating data. It can be a good and useful language to develop in, but I would never recommend it for databases.
(anyone know _any_ karate student without _any_ ego or tendency to violence? - personal experience here) Well, there's me, my daughter, my son, and several of their friends. Presuming you're using "ego" as synonymous with "arrogant", of course. Karate, or any martial art, properly taught, teaches discipline and *avoiding* violence if at all possible.
I personally am skeptical of of the statistics, as they can be skewed to mean anything the user wants them to mean. I'm a geek female and proud of it, but even my women friends who don't know Linux from Unix from Windoze use computers and the net for everything from their jobs to web design to desktop publishing to IRC to online tech support, sometimes all at once. I'll have to send them the URL for chickclick; we'll have a good time dissecting the code and the utter lack of design sense an taste of whatever moron came up with this atrocity.
Informix does indeed have a Linux version of both the SE engine and IDS engine. See Informix on Linux FAQs.  Informix was, AFAIK, the first major RDBMS to port to Linux.
I'm an IT professional with a degree in computer science from ECPI, thank you! It may not be a bachelor's, but I guarantee I knew more about programming when I walked out the door than several "programmers" I know who have bachelor's degrees in CS. Today I'm a highly paid and highly competent Informix programmer/DBA. The companies in my area are more likely to hire from the "trade schools" than the colleges because they actually teach real world, up to date languages and systems instead of FORTRAN, etc.
Much as I hate to admit it, I run 98 at home; it came on my Vaio system. I haven't made any big effort to switch to another OS, much as I despise Microsoft, because it very rarely crashes, and isn't too much of a pain unless you try to do something different than what MS wants you to (like bag the damn active desktop and/or make Netscape your default brower). I won't get Win2K for the same reason I haven't installed RedHat from the CDs sitting on my desk: if it ain't broke...but then, I get to use Unix at work, so I get my daily fix of a *real* stable, powerful OS. Must disagree about NT 4 being stable, though. I had to use it at a contract job I did for a while and it was the most unstable, bsod-ridden POS I've ever had the displeasure of having to use. I mean, coding in the PC environment is bad enough, but to have to do it in NT...bleah!
Virginia is in the process of eliminating property taxes on POVs, and everyone who paid their car tax got a partial refund in the first year of implemenation... I'm as skeptical as the next person about government giving anythingback, but it does happen sometimes.
I couldn't agree more... About the hardware, that is. I was amazed when I first started using the MS natural keyboard. It's very comfortable, isn't likely to give you carpal tunnel, and the keys (although they don't click) are solid and don't wobble or get stuck at all. Oh, and the space bar is nice and big:) I also have to give MS brownie points for their intellimouse. You've got to love the added control the wheel mouse adds (to unix/linux). The curved shape is also a comfortable design.
The MS Natural Keyboard is the only MS product I like; I haven't tried a split keyboard that's more comfortable. Saved me from some nasty CTS, it did. But the Intellimouse, like so many other products, is only comfortable if you're using it right-handed. I kinda miss the days when they used to make actual left-handed mice.
The Internet is Different for the Simple reason that the parents understand Books Television(mostly), Streets, and Books(again, mostly). They do not understand the internet, leastways, not as much as the children, so they fall back on the software to understand it for them. Never Mind that the software has less comprehention than a well-salted slug. Still, tt's often more understanding than the parents
As one of the "the parents" who does understand the internet (and computers, and programming) far better than "the children", I'd ask that we keep away from generalities here... Sure, there are a lot of clueless wonders out there, but there are also lot of us who are perfectly capable of whipping out the clue-by-four when necessary.
I knew there had to be some sluggites out there. I read Dilbert if I have time, but I can't start my day without Sluggy Freelance and User Friendly. Walk this way.

The Temple Bar district is aptly named. Pubs galore. I'd imagine most of the competitors will start there...

So thankful for Unix and Informix - no GUI!
