Great now you can peak inside your computer to see the HDD LED on your swap/virtual drive flashing like it belongs at a rave while your DIMMs quietly do nothing.
This sort of feature is bound to introduce paranoia.
Why would you want to reverse engineer this? Why for a case mod of course! Soon, you too will be buying a VideoNOW so you can gut it and put a small LCD in a drive bay that will show video.
Just think, you can download Lord of The Rings fron the net then the kids can crowd around and watch tiny screen.
"When I was your age, our TV was round and 3mm across. We had to ride a bicycle generator for 8 hours to watch 21 minutes of TV."
Seriously, it might make good modding material, but beyond that I think it is useless.
In my first two years I faithfully bought my books from either the campus bookstore or the student union run bookstore (student's consign their books)
Then I discovered Chapters (Maybe Amazon is the same) would order almost anything. Of course there was a week or two waiting period but when you are talking $63.50 versus $118.95 it is worth it.
So if your prof. insists on using new books or has to have the latest edition, don't forget book stores. Even smaller ones can sometimes order in texts, you just have to pay in advance because they can't sell it to normal people if you don't buy.
The best feature of non-Outlook email programs is the inability or difficulty that they have running activex, java, or javascript.
To this date I have yet receive a single email that has ever needed to use any script or programming language to deliver the message so why the heck is it still in and ON by default?
Ah well, all I can do is my part. I patch and have a linux based firewall protecting me. That firewall has had nearly 3000 hits on 135,137, or 139 in the past two days. A month ago it would have had no more than 12 in the same period.
Essentially the colours are Cyan, Red, Green, Blue. Just split off to CYMB and RGB then stick the Cyan layer into the RGB. Messy but you would get the data. Of course, it would turn everything blue-green so you would have to tweak the curves of the channels to get a sane looking image.
The Canon equivalent would be the EF 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Autofocus Lens. (No IS since the Sony doesn't have IS) This lens costs about $360.
However, the Zeiss optics are closer to L glass than a standard EF. Also Canon digitals have a 1.6x magnification factor so you really want a lens that will do 18mm - 126mm. To do it you would need the EF 17-40mm f/4L USM ($800) and a 24-70mm f/2.8L USM ($1200) and finally a 70-200mm f/4.0L USM Autofocus ($550)
$2550 in lenses if you wanted the same range coverage. Not to mention that two of the lenses are quite slow at f/4 where the Sony ranges from f/2.0 wide open to f/2.8 at the telephoto end.
You can typically get a 10D for about $1250 if you search. Believe me, the photo quality of a 10D that can focus (some has backfocus issues) is breath taking. ISO1600 looks like ISO200 on a Sony 707 and even 3200 is usable. A five minute exposure at ISO100 even looks pretty clean without darkframe subtraction.
A friend of mine was telling me what they do in his daughter's school (grade 10). The school bought 30 Ti-80s years ago. During tests, the students must use a school calculator.
I tired Blender for a few days. I got to the point where I knew most of the commands by key, yet I still hated the UI with a passion. Maybe someone could come along a fix it and leave the classic version in place for those that like it.
One of the better apps that I have used is Carrara. Its UI is probably the easiest to understand that I have ever found in a 3D app. Granted the method of creation might not be traditional but at least stuff makes sense and isn't made from an 8x8 pixel icon that acts different if I press left or right or click on the top or right of it.
Red Dwarf didn't suck due to budget. It sucked because the gestalt entity of Grant Naylor was split into Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.
Together they produced some of the best britcom that I have seen. Just compare Backwards and Last Human. Both have funny bits but are lacking something.
I don't know if Blake's 7 can capture what it had before without Terry Nation. We shall see - or won't see as is common with british revivals (Red Dwarf movie, New Doctor Who series not produced by Fox, etc...)
There is a difference between protesting for a cause and being humourous.
If I learned of such an event in Calgary and I was able to attend, I would make every effort to go. Being able to tell friends that 600 people walked single file through a McDonald's in Walmart without buying anything would be golden.
I know for a fact that people dig through the garbage around here. Maybe they are just looking for pop cans but who knows.
The trash is picked up a 11:00am. I goto work at 6:45am. The pickers come anytime between that.
My solution? Keep anything that might have dangerous info on it. Once the pile gets too big, I haul it over to a local McDonald's and toss it in their compactor.
1. Produce a high quality album with no filler and I have no problem paying $20CDN for it.
2. Produce an album with one or two good tracks and the rest filler. I have no problem downloading and paying for those two songs but I won't buy the album.
3. Allow only albums to be sold. I have no problem pirating the two good songs. Artists get nothing.
If Madonna insists on albums only. Guess what? Instead of getting 24Â from me, she gets 0Â.
What is better? 24Â x 250,000 or 0?
Exactly:)
I assumed that bleching requires equipment and chemicals. Say $5 worth.
As for that strip, we lack such a thing in Canada but I am told that bleaching is quite a problem with current US money. I know one store owner in Kentucky that has had a few go threw. Apparently just the appearance of the strip is enough to make staff happy, even if it says USA 20 on it instead of USA 100
Nope, the bank will happily screw you.
It doesn't matter if you have one $5 in a stack of $10,000 or two $100 in a stack of $1000.
Maybe if you are friends with the bank manager or own a casino that deposits $1,000,000 every few days but not a small business.
I've yet to see this one, but I know it happens. People will bleach the ink out of a US $20. Then print a $100 on it. $75 profit. Even has the nifty nylon strip still in it!.
My store went from no counterfeits to getting 4 fake $20 in as many weeks. Then I got a UV lamp that beeps if something reacts too much under the light. It can be defeated, but that requires more effort than clicking print and lining up both sides of the page.
Since we started using that, we have stopped almost $150 in counterfeits. Not bad for a $40 lamp. In the two years that it has been in place, the bank has not found anymore counterfeits in our deposits.
One would think that a nice dim area where these bills are easier to pass, that a UV lamp would be even more useful since you could see things like the UV emblem that is on canadian money or the red fibers.

Um, yeah right.
Even 50% is staggering. Heck even 35% would have been quite impressive. Why is my BS meter hovering around MEG right now?
Don't get me wrong, I know they work and are real but I seriously doubt the efficentcies they claim.

You could do it with Photoshop today.

That being said, I am saving up for a 828.
What were you doing before? Throwing it on the road and hoping it would get to its destination?
Excuse me for being ignorant but I thought those were the only two ways of sending mail.
What can a book publisher do? Unlike software, you can't copyprotect a book.
Why should that happen?
PDAs are built for size. Laptops are built to provide you with a full blown PC that you can carry.
There is no way that I want to carry around a 12" PDA, or be forced to type a report on a 2" screen.

$17.00CDN to sit through a movie that has a 60% chance of being crap? I wonder why people pirate?

Hey, I used to use "Mr Poodle Eats His Noodles"

Oh dammit! I knew I should have never downloaded that song then went out and bought the album after listening (yes, I really do this).
So instead of taking 40 minutes to transfer the contents of one 80GB drive, it will now take 8 hours but you will have 1TB of space. Woo
