  4. Re:3mp is good enough on 13.8MP Kodak Tops Previously Leaked Canon · · Score: 2
    I agree 100%, except you can skip the printer and fancy paper. Upload the jpgs to an online photo printer. Walmart.com does 4x6s for .26 each. They take about 3 days to be delivered by USPS and the delivery cost is only a dollar or two based on weight. The prints are made using Fuji Crystal Archive paper, the prints look better than any 6 color inkjet printer, and they are much cheaper than the inkjet paper alone. Consider the cost of ink and head cleanings/wasted prints and the cost is much less.

    I'm getting full edge to edge 8.5x11 for ~$0.18 per page including ink and photopaper. And I get them in 5 minutes, not 3 days, and living in alaska I'd be paying a lot more for freight service. Interesting idea though.

  5. 3mp is good enough on 13.8MP Kodak Tops Previously Leaked Canon · · Score: 2

    A bunch of people are asking what resolution produces a good 8x10 print. I shoot at 3mp for the most part, and get stunning 8x10 prints from my $100 off the shelf printer using good photopaper. Unless you're a pro, $4000 is a waste of money for a digital still camera. If you are a pro, you'll buy a nikon d1x or a good camera; Not anything with kodaks name on it.

    The Mambo holds 20GB of memory

    I'm confused. Does this mean I could potentially use this thing as an external ram disk (must be AC power only), or does mean that just mean that it might show up on ebay gutted and outfitted to hold 20 1gb DDR sticks?

    Where can I get an IT job in the U.S.?

    Juneau or Anchorage Alaska. The state gov is almost always hiring tech workers (esp programers), and there's loads of private sector work too. The cost of living is a bit high though. Just my two cents.

    Let me get this straight:
    You're saying that dogs became human's best friend by us using them to clean our asses? I don't know about you, but I'd guess that it was more a result of them cleaning the other side that made them so attractive. It would be healtheir for the dog, and more pleasurable for the human at any rate. Maybe that's how they kept sailors sane, and pets/livestock alive on those long transatlantic voyages.

    Kids, please do not even think about testing my hypothesis for a science fair project! And if you do, don't mention my name. Thank you.
