Ah. That's right. A quick search at dpreview.com would have shown this. I can't wait for the first sub-$1000 full frame sensor DSLR. I bet its not *that* far off in the future. Maybe 2 years? Whaddya think? This competition with the DSLRs is great.
Probably not... But the good news with digital is competition is heating up, and great cameras are coming down in price as fast as computers have. Even this high-end competition affects the low end. You can buy a better 6mp DSLR today for about $800 than what was even available at $20,000 4 years ago. Pretty amazing.
And it can be yours for the low, low price of $8,000! Ok, I guess its a decent price, considering that about 4 years ago a 6 mp DSLR cost upward of $20,000. Megpixels aren't everything, and Canon has really been at the forefront of other developments- like the full frame sensor. The best lowly people like me can hope for is that the advancement of both high end and mid range DSLRs continues to drive the prices down. I suspect in the next year or so we will finally see some (entry level) DSLRs at less than $500. I hope so anyway. http://www.rupertphotography.com
Why am I still getting massive amounts of spam in my yahoo, angelfire, and comcast accounts today? I guess they have some more work to do (I haven't even noticed a decrease).
Why don't you blame terrorists instead? After all, they are the ones who are trying to take away our rights, when it comes right down to it. These are the people who hate freedom and hope to destroy it for everyone. They are the ones whose wacked out religion tells them that all Westerners are "infidels". They are the ones to blame.
I totally understand the reasons not to take a counter offer, and I could explain, but this situation IS different, otherwise I wouldn't consider it...
Maybe you should move up. I am getting paid about 50% more than I was 5 years ago. Its not george Bush's fault that you have chosen not to work hard and move up!
but the market is back. I've had 3 job offers in the past month, all of which pay 10 to 20% more than I make now. Today I went to my current employer and told them my situation--- they are going to counter offer.
I think the big perk right now is working from home or at various sites. My current job allows me to work from home 2 days a week. Oh- and I get every other Friday off. One of my job offers has 1/2 days ever Friday. Hopefully I see two trends:
1. Employers are realizing that we have lives and not forcing us to work ridiculous hours. I make more than I have ever made right now and I never work more than 40 hours a week. 2. Employers see the benefit of allowing employees to work off site and/or at home. 2 of the 3 offers I have had offer work at home benefits. My current job allows me to work from home. Nice. Why does a software engineer need to be in the office every day anyway?
Markets go in cycles. We are in a recovery now. Employers are ready to produce again, and in the case of software, that means its time to hire. They realize that outsourcing didn't save them any money, so they are hiring workers right here in the U.S. Good news!
Maybe you should check the news. The unemployment rate has been dropping for some time now. Employers are hiring again (to be expected), and many are realizing that outsourcing didn't save any money (in many cases, it cost even more to outsource).
I don't know--- I have had 3 job offers in the past month, two of which came this week, and all of which offer salaries similar to those of the late 99-2000. The job market is coming back. Despite what all the doom and gloomers like to say, these things do go up and down. We're coming out of a down cycle.
By the way- I went to my current employer and told them about my offer. They are countering. Oh yes, the job market is back (I am a software engineer).

What the? Is it Katie Jones problem?

This could set a frightening precedent.
Anyone know why the lawyers are going after Katie Jones rather than the register or something? All Katie Jones did was send someone money to register a domain name. The idiotic publisher fogot to check and see if it was taken before naming the book? Huh?
Katie Jones hasn't broken any laws, so I would guess that the lawyers are just trying to bully her. All this publicity will certainly take the wind out of the corrupt sails.
My post doesn't make sense because this story makes no sense. This is just crazy!
For spending 70% of his time worrying about what his boss was doing. Give me break! We've all worked with people like this before- they're sooo worried about what everone else is doing. These are the same people who used to remind the teacher about the homework assignment.
I'm not saying its right to spend all day playing solitare, but it sounds like this weasel went to extremes to "tell on" someone.
nevermind the fact that this was an act of Congress and not Bush... You knee jerk liberals just have to be angry at Bush for everything, don't you?
Its been abundantly clear that Bush wants to fund the space program and go to Mars, but you're still pissed off at hime. Will you be pissed off at John Kerry when he actually does cut NASA funding (drastically) so that more can be given to inner city bums?
Hypothetically, if they did discover oil on Mars, I think that would be an excellent reason to go there. Nothing wrong with a little motivation-- the capitalists of the world (those responsible for all the technological advances) would find a way to get there very fast.

Yup... I think DSLRs will soon render medium format a thing of the past.

Doesn't the 1Ds actually have a 1.3 crop factor?
www.rupertphotography.com
Nope. Even the high end DSRLs still have a small crop factor. I think the 1ds has a 1.3 crop factor, small, but still there.
And it can be yours for the low, low price of $8,000! Ok, I guess its a decent price, considering that about 4 years ago a 6 mp DSLR cost upward of $20,000.

Ok- maybe its good for hacking, but for use as a camera, I don't get it.
A) The whole point of digital is to eliminate the need for development and taking something in to the drug store.
B) The quality probably sucks
What the hell is the point of a disposable digital camera? Are people that stupid?
I suppose they are--- people are still wasting their money on Polaroids.
