    Sorry, didn't realize those manufacturers have found a way to defeat gravity, I'll check'em out!

  4. I have a Kata... on Ask Slashdot: Laptop + DSLR Backpacks · · Score: 1

    I have a Kata backpack that is my main 'case' to carry stuff. I generally cram in a 5D, 70-200 f/2.8L IS, 85mm f/1.2, 24-70 f/2.8 L, 100mm f/2.8 macro, a flash, blow bulb, all hoods, lenspens, batteries, chargers, 1.4x tele converter and maybe a few other odds and ends... This is NOT light. I originally got it thinking I'd put a 15" laptop in there but the space they give you for the laptop feels VERY VERY tight and I wasn't comfortable doing that.

    Again, a backpack of this size is NOT going to be light, you will NOT want to carry it very much and you WILL have a sore back/neck afterwards.

    I don't recall the model Kata I have, it was quite a few years ago and probably not a current model. Construction on their bags appears to be great though so I wouldn't hesitate recommending them as a brand to consider. I would suggest that you bring what you are considering packing into it to a store and trying it for size/weight/fit first.

  7. Crimping?! WTF? on Why PyCon 2010's Conference Wi-Fi Didn't Melt Down · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I lost any possible respect for the poster when I saw this:

    Lessons Learned

                    * Crimping your own RJ45 should be avoided.

    Any idiot that's been in IT and networking knows you don't crimp your own connectors. You punch down wire to panels, you buy pre-made patch cables.. Often people will purchase the wrong crimp connectors for the cable they are using, or they will use solid wire for patch applications AND use the wrong crimp connectors (solid vs. stranded) and then wonder why things don't hold up... *rolls eyes*

  9. ? Cost? on The True Cost of SMS Messages · · Score: 1

    My SMS is included, I pay about $27/mo or so for 500 minutes on Sprint with unlimited SMS, unlimited internet, first incoming minute free, nights at 7pm and weekends free...I think people are just too lazy to investigate good deals...

    Get your $50k cash ready for the downpayment:

    135 mpg equiv

    Now if they could get the price of this down to a reasonable level like a Honda Civic I'd buy it...and a buncha other people would too I'm sure. This would be an IDEAL car for me :)

  14. Do you really mean HDMI or HDCP? on What's the Matter with HDMI? · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with HDMI, I think perhaps what you're really trying to hype is what is wrong with HDCP...

    The "Article" is useless, it's just a Slashvertisement. The regulars of Slashdot can recognize such posts and just discuss the post rather than drive traffic to the site.

  23. New DST annoyance... on Daylight Saving Change Saved No Power · · Score: 1

    This new DST change is quite annoying. I have some clock devices in my house that cannot be updated. They have hard coded points at which they adjust for DST, my clock radio for instance. So heres what happens, DST arrives, I have to set it manually, old DST arrives, I set it manually again (after forgeting) old DST ends adjust manually again, new DST ends, yup another adjustment... What a fucking pain in the ass. Can I get the government to buy me a new clock radio?
