  4. Re:Rebates Suck on Computer Rebates Not As Sinister As You Think · · Score: 4, Informative

    Funny you mention that. I also bought a Linksys WRT54G (aka Cisco) with probably the same rebate you had. I waited months and finally got a response back - rebate denied. Apparently the form was not the correct form (I found this out by calling linksys when I got this). What the response actually said was no UPC code included. So, after waiting months, then having to make a phone call and waiting on the phone for a good 20 min plus being transfered 2-3 times, I finally got the rebate check about 3 weeks later. What this tells me is that most folks will not go to the trouble of calling, and that means Cisco wins.

  9. Not the time to buy xm then eh? on RIAA Goes After Satellite Radio · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If this contract expires in 2006, then I'd say I'm not going to be buying an xm radio system any time soon. Increases like that would either have to be passed on or xm would go tits up.

  25. Re:Pro photographer? Using Linux?-Imagemagick. on Professional Photographers Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    The only reason I don't use Linux for photos is that there is no version of Breeze Browser for Linux (or even macs). Breeze Browser will allow you to do Lossless Auto Rotation on your photos. For those of you not in the know, many digital cameras have orientation sensors so the camera knows if it is being held in portrait or landscape orientation. The camera writes this plus a whole lot of other information to the EXIF header information. Breezebrowser uses this to auto-rotate the photos and save them losslessly. If we could get image magick to do this, I would be able to run linux on my computer and be much happier.
