Here's a good business plan 1) check out the specs reviews and samples at www.dpreview.com 2) Once you've narrowed your selection down go to www.yahoogroups.com and check out a few lists relating to your camera model. If you subscribe to a list, get it as a digest so that it doesn't clutter your inbox. 3) decide whether or not to buy locally. If you locally you can get problems fixed quicker. If you buy online, check the vendors rating at http://www.resellerratings.com/ to avoid ending up with reburbished or gray market crap for $500 off retail. 4) get on some more mailing lists, and see what others are doing. 5) win some photo contests with your new found skills. 6) PROFIT!
Comparing the D100 to the D1H is like comparing a laser printer to a plotter on the basis of pages per minute.
The reason the D1H is so expensive is because it is built in a ruggedised water resistant body. It also has the ability to shoot more images at a higher speed than most other digital cameras. Who uses it? Sports photographers. What features do they need? Speed and durability. Do they care about an extra $2k? No. Nikon just released an upgraded version of it too- the D2H. dpreview.com has all the specs.
How easy can this service be abused, with automatic webbots doing the searching? You can only browse two pages in either direction per search. You also have to be logged in. I suppose someone could script a system to create thousands of account, then use an army of zombie machines to OCR the pages from a variety of different IPs. That is assuming that Amazon has EVERY page of every book available to the service, which I doubt.
It would probably by easier to coble together a robot built around a laptop with an ocr equiped camera and book manipulation software and set it loose in a big library at night. For 50 years.
It would be easier for people to advice you if they knew what your current printer is and what settings and paper you are using.
In any case, I would strongly recomend against a color laser printer for proofs: they just don't have the resolution that a high-end inkjet printer gives you on good paper (not costco $.50/ream shit). My recomendation would be either a tabloid printer (if you need the size), or a photo printer of some sort. My epson bias is based on some very very poor experiances with HP, whereas Epson's printershave been rock solid for me. Xerox has some nice looking equipment too, though I have never used it.
They're just mad they were found out to be dummies with a broken product, and that their share price dropped 20% when Wall Streeties discovered they were dummies. Solution: sue the guy who said, "the Emperor has no clothes!"
Stop the ride. I want off.
What I think you meant to say is the emperor has a big wad of toilet paper jammed up his ass. Why? To stem the bloodflow from all the damage his head was caused!
This opens up a whole new range of email and phone scams for those who are willing to do a little research and social engineering. Imagine getting a drama major to pose as a corrupt process server for example. Or just simply getting a pre-law roomate to call up the building warez kiddie and scare the shit out of them. I can't wait to get started!
Businesses could just not ship to addresses in states the collect the tax. Or just just charge a tax hassle fee of $20 to compensate for the paperwork time. Just my 12.5%

Undoubtedly, she has virtual pc, windows, and kazaa installed on her ipod. Not only can she denying having it on her computer, but she doesn't have to copy the songs after she downloads them. Shhhhh
I called the office using a weird accent, and attempted to sell the nice lady a low interest mortgage. She hung up after about 4 seconds. Just in case, I think I should call back in a few hours to see if she's sure. heheh.
if anyone is having reservations about calling, just think of it as harrassing a very very influencial DMA employee.
Apologies for the typos above. I (as any dedicated mac user should) have been meditating without food or sleep for the past three nights and days in preperation for this event. Now I must go sell my car to buy a new 17" powerbook with 2gb of ram. Go Apple!
How the hell would you hire people to evaluate potential sites for the ban list? Finding reliable people who are emotionally capable of such a job must be an HR nightmare. I can just see the job description:
Researchers needed to evaluate questionable online material of an extremely graphic nature. Must have a professional outlook, neat appearance, and an ironclad stomach. Must also be able to pass a polygraph, and extensive background check. Computer literacy a plus, but willing to train candidates with the right enthusiasm. Benifits include full medical, dental, and a comprehensive psyciatric plan.
Actually this sounds like a shoe-in for de-frocked clergyman. I guess I answered my own question. Carry on.

As you read this play an mp3 of Johnny Knoxville laughing hysterically.
1)Looks and feels just like the mac version- everything is the same so far as I can tell.
2)Unlike quicktime for windows, win itunes is every bit as responive as the mac version
3) Visualizations are the same as the mac version
4) downloaded the installer at 450k/sec. Go Akamai!
5) Batch ID3 tag renaming as fast. almost instant for a group of 5 tracks
6) New feature allows for one touch backup of your collection onto cds AND dvds. Just swap the discs as needed.
