A medium format body would be too deep to focus the lenses. Even if it wasn't, the lens wouldn't cover the sensor anyway.
I've been thinking of just getting an A75 for snapshots, and keeping my AE-1, or perhaps waiting a while and saving up the $$$ to get a medium format camera and a Nikon D70.
They may appear elsewhere, but not in your average PC system. All Macs have had them for a while. I can carry around a single ethernet cable, and be able to connect to any pc or mac or whatever, with or without a switch, without worrying about crossover cables. I can turn my iBook into a firewire drive and copy files off of it at 400Mb/s. I can boot off my iPod, network, CD, whatever, if I want to. If I fuck up my system, I can still boot it up by bringing up open firmware and pointing it at the original kernel instead of the custom compiled one.
I don't really care that it appears somewhere else, it is still convenient, and the average PC laptop or desktop is missing many of these features. I was very suprised finding out about how much neato stuff is on there when i got my iBook. I use it more than my dual Athlon linux box now.
Yeah, its a pain. I can't count the number of times I had to copy it from my hard drive to another floppy. Eventually, I learned to just attatch my document to an email and email it to a web-mail account (yahoo). That, or make three floppy copies of it.
Your BIOS would need to be able to boot from USB to do that.
If your BIOS can boot from USB anyway, just use a USB thumb drive thingie.
I have a floppy drive in my computer. I have never used it. However, I know that if I didn't have one, I would need to use it, because I am unlucky that way.
Heh, yeah the instruments in those old sound cards were crap. Then there was the time I fired up Doom on the old Pentium 100 i had hooked up to my midi equipment. Doom music played through a modern midi synth with sampled sounds is awesome.
My iBook "only does mirroring" as well. It is a simple matter to install a hack that lets it spread the workspace across both monitors. Sure, it doesn't come that way stock, but it is simply a setting Apple enabled in the OS to keep the video card in mirror mode. The card does have the capability.
Wardriving doesn't have to involve entering the networks. You might just be walking down the street trying doorknobs, and counting how many are not locked.
You could set up a WAP to give a web page when people first open up a web browser: "This free wireless internet connection is provided by _______. Please do not use it to send spam or do anything illegal. I would appreciate it if you would sign my guestbook. Thank you."
Ouch. That sucks. I don't have any experience with wiring that old. Our old house was built in the '50s, so it had two-wire outlets, but they were grounded. We had a pile of three-wire outlets in the basement, and just replaced the two-wire ones whenever we painted a room and the plates were off anyway.
It also had those nice old light switches that go CLUNK when you turn them on or off.
It's being used for SOMETHING, rather than sitting in a landfill, like MOST Philco TVs probably are. I, for one, am glad it this was done. It looks cool, and keeps the thing out of the landfill.
Few thousand bucks? What the hell for? JUST REPLACE THE FRIGGEN OUTLETS! It isn't THAT hard. They are probably grounded, anyway. Test your outlets to see if the center screw is grounded. If it is, it is a simple matter of turning off the power to the circuit, and replacing the outlets. Should cost you around a hundred bucks and a couple hours of time.
Yes, a Geo Metro is a VERY low end car. Think Yugo, or Ford Festiva. Cheap, good gas milage, poorly made, ugly and unsafe in an accident.
That is a fair comparison with a slight change, to include the mp3 player I bought instead of a 1G iPod a number of years ago. Replace "Creative Nomad Zen" with "Archos 10" and you have my situation. Needless to say, with Apple's current "Cram & Jam" deal, I am buying an iPod in the next couple weeks (next paycheck, in other words).
For those that don't know, if you can get an Apple student discount through your college (10% off everything for me) you can also get "Cram & Jam". $200 rebate if you buy an iBook (other than the CD-ROM model) or Powerbook and an iPod (not iPod Mini) at the same time. With the student discount, that gives me a $70 20 gig iPod.
Well, I couldn't tell you much about anything since 98SE. That's about when I quit Windows. I never installed Windows on my current computer, just Slackware 9, then I used SWARET to upgrade to 9.1, and now 10. I play Quake III Arena, Savage, UT2004, and, soon, Doom III, on my 9700 Pro, but I am not really a serious gamer. Maybe a couple hours of gaming a week. Most of my time on the computer is spent reading forums, chatting on IRC, and messing around with whatever thing I am currently reading about. Perl, PHP, whatever.
Yes, it will shift the attacks to Firefox. But, since Firefox has an active development team that is constantly working to improve it, with major updates every couple months, and minor fixes every day, any exploits will probably be fixed faster than Internet Explorer, which has no real active development until a major exploit is discovered, or MS wants to ship another service pack every couple of years.

I just want a digital cam that all my manual focus Canon FD glass will mount on. Is that too much to ask?

I assume it would be the same with this computer.

I just take mine apart and clean it. I'm not gonna throw out my Model M until it dies.

Maybe that would be a good idea. From the FAQ:
It's obviously a joke. The guy says you can pay him $19 to register to get rid of the ads, followed by uninstalling the extension.

This "one result" happens to be the article linked in the story summary. RTFA, for Diety of Choice's sake.

That's funny, it's killing me!
Your puerile sense of humor brings me back to my elementary school years. Thank you very much.

I didn't know about it until the article on /. about them
recommending Firefox over IE.
Exactly. Use Microsoft's enormous legal and monetary resources to destroy the law (if it becomes law).
