FTFA: "Rose's social stock has climbed,too. He has more than 11,000 friends on MySpace. He was a runner-up in blog ValleyWag's "Hottest Guy in the Valley" contest.....and he co-hosts a hot weekly video podcast called Diggnation.....At a party for the 50th show, Rose was mobbed by fans and even photographed signing a pretty brunette's cleavage."
You know you've arrived when you have 11K+ friends on MySpace and signed a brunette's ta-ta's. OMG, a real girl even!!!
Yes, these are the classic indicators of true success in this life. All your cleavage are belong to Kevin Rose...
NaturalPoint's SmartNAV system enables mousing with your head/neck. There is a IR emitter and camera that you mount/place on your monitor, and it tracks a reflective dot that you either wear, stick to glasses, or put on a hat (the kit comes with a hat with integrated reflective dot). Clicking is accomplished by the software mapping convenient keys on your keyboard, or by voice activation.
The system is suprisingly sensitive and intuitive, with a little practice it becomes second nature to point with your head. For the record I'm not an employee of NP, but I am right in the middle of a product review on the SmartNAV3 AT package (and will be posting it at FresHDV in the very near future). I have to admit that I did not anticipate that it would be a very intuitive system. And I've been pleasantly suprised. The system is not cheap, but the relief for those plagued by RSI is well worth the cost. What's great is NaturalPoint offers a evaluation period, you can return the product within like 30 days if you aren't happy with it. It would be well worth looking into for your co-worker.
From the JHymn iTunes 6 FAQ:
"Q: Will JHymn work with music purchased with iTunes 6?
A: No. Apple changed their decryption mechanism in iTunes 6, and JHymn does not support those changes at the current time.
Q: What versions of iTunes does JHymn work with?
A: All versions through 5.0.1."
I was appalled by the attitude of the police.....The attitude (which one policeman stated openly to me) was that "everyone is a criminal, you just have to catch them at it."
I personally know a few law enforcement officers, and from what I have observed "The Attitude" is born in part from the constant litany of lies an officer is told by Joe Public. Obviously my sampling of officers is small, but they all say the same thing...they LEARNED not to trust people. It's a defense mechanism. One of them recently chose to leave the force because he saw the person he was becoming and didn't like it.
Now, I would never dispute your point that abuses do in fact occur. That much is clear. But remember too that law enforcement officers don't all start out with "The Attitude", some of them had to learn it. And I suspect that many of them learned it from us.
"Well, it probably captures what it is like in there..."
"...only cheap flourescents and an occasional CRT to for lighting."
Hence the concept of "white balance". Get this...it will SHIFT the way your digital camera perceives the color spectrum to accomodate for a strong color cast or lighting. Decent cameras do it automatically, probably better than 99% of digitals give you interior and exterior presets, and decent photo software can fix WB with a single click. It's a simple step that makes many poor photos suddenly look decent.
Not really sure where you were going with the strip club comment...:-/

I'd love to use roundcube, however, without LDAP support I'm fubared. Like hell am I going to recreate 2000 user accounts with no syncing of passwords!
Roundcube is an IMAP client, not an Operating System. Implement LDAP on the server, and roundcube will happily use whatever accounts the OS tells it to use.
It would sure be a shame if those cameras were identical models though. Wouldn't that be smart, carry two Sony PD-170 camcorders so that all your batts/lenses/accessories interface. Too bad both of those cameras could develop this condition...what's a "Real Videographer" to do?
Wait, I know! Carry a backup PD-150 in the car! Surely they would have used dissimilar design and components between model revisions! Never mind, they totally didn't.
Ok then, a "Real Videographer" would have thought of this...and carried a a CONSUMER Sony as a 2nd backup to the backup PD-150! Yeah, that's it! Different model entirely! I'll just keep a VX-2100 in my hot sticky trunk. What's that you say? The VX series CCD can fail too?
Ok then...how about this. A completely different FORM FACTOR! A Professional Sony DSR-250! How do ya like dem apples!? Too bad it can fail too.
Wait, wait, I've got it! I'll keep a few of those snazzy Canon Elura single-CCD cameras in my bag, that's a completely different brand. Or not.
For the record, startup company Brightside recently introduced a 200,000:1 "extreme dynamic range" (EDR) display. Tom's Hardware stated that the 200,000:1 contrast ratio was basically "infinite". They have a few display screen images for comparison, and the differences are striking: http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050923_1705 19.html
Specs on the Brightside display are 37", 3000 cd/m2 brightness rating, 1920x1080 resolution. Yours for the low price of just $49,000.
As to contrast ratio I wonder how 1,000,000:1 is even measureable. As the parent states, 3500:1 is comparable to color film. I also read somewhere that 70mm film has a contrast ratio of approximately 1000:1. YMMV...

So don't upgrade when iTunes tells you to. And consider donating to DVD Jon...he'd like to crack iTunes 6.
