They don't have an egronomic/split style keyboard, which I have used almost exclusively for quite a few years now.
They do have a keyboard with Ctrl in the proper place, to the right of "A" with Caps lock, if it is even on the keyboard, down in a far corner. (The OLPC XO-1 got that part of the keyboard right, but the keys on that keyboard suck)
strip searching a 13 year old is just short child molestation in my opinion.
Just short of? While I generally hate stuff that is brought out by "Think of the children!", anybody but police attempting to strip search *ANYONE* should be charged with sexual assault. Include police in being charged there, adding "by a person in a position of authority" if it wasn't following the proper procedures.
It is far more a sex crime than many things that states (Georgia) use to put people on the sex criminals list.
Just because you don't see doesn't mean that Google doesn't have to invest a large amount of resources to process spam, in terms of storage, network transfer, and CPU overhead.
Your solution would almost be workable, if I could stomach using a Windows-based device.
Agreed. I honestly thought that something as embedded as a picture frame should just work, but apparently using Windows CE and cheap developers leads to a crap product. The one on ThinkGeek should be better, but I haven't used it. It appeared a little while after I started having problems with the Samsung, and I really wish I had gotten that.
I assume I could setup an "RSS feed/server" (I dont know crap about RSS, I'd have to learn) on my *own* hardware so as to avoid using outside servers.
You could. RSS as used for pictures is essentially a list of pictures, and the picture frame I have now only shows pictures in that list, so if they get removed from the feed, they are removed from the frame. I just point the frame to a url, and that could easily be on your own system, like http://10.0.1.123/pictures.rss , no problem. You could install Gallery on your computer, and use that to generate the RSS feeds. That would give you an easy interface, privacy, and a ready-built RSS generator.
My key objection to any frames with wifi that I've seen so far is that they all want you to subscribe to service from some outside website.
Mine too, but I ignore that feature. Check to see if that is optional, and if it can get a feed from any url.
The second one you refer to is rather pricey, especially since I already have a frame. I'd really like to find a way to connect wifi-accessible storage to the one I already have.
They are embedded systems, so it isn't easy to upgrade them, especially to do stuff they don't have the hardware to support. If files just appeared on a SD (say from you pushing data on to a Eye-Fi), would any of the data in cached in ram about the filesystem lead to corruption? If you had to turn the system off when updating the files, would the SD card have the power?
Well, I don't *need* bluetooth on my camera, but you are right if all of my cameras and GPS had bluetooth, they could possibly say "where am I right now", and the GPS could respond.
That would be useful, but none of my cameras or my GPS have bluetooth.
I agree that Wifi is less useful than bluetooth could be.
The way I do that is I got a Wifi-based picture frame. If this one comes back in stock, that might be what you want.
The one I got is based on Windows CE and has a bunch of problems, and freezes often enough that I put it on a timer to reboot it daily. It also has a bug that can't handle titles that have quotes in them.
It reads a RSS feed for my photos, and updates them automatically. I have an album on Ipernity that I add pictures to, and a short while later they show up on the picture frame. The upside is that works from across the world, which is why I set that up.
Personally, I'd much rather cameras have GPS instead of Wi-Fi, so that they can automatically fill in the EXIF location data for the photos.
That would only work if your camera was on for long periods of time, and had a constant view of the sky. Plus I get the best reception when I leave my GPS on the dashboard of the vehicle I am in, and leaving a camera powered on the dashboard of a firetruck seems like a very bad idea, while my GPS can handle that no problems. Also, having a separate GPS lets me use it for multiple cameras, since I might not be able to get a GPS built into every kind of camera I want with me.
When I am taking pictures that I want to have the GPS data in the EXIF, I have a GPS running all day that I keep with me, and then at night I correlate the times from the pictures with the locations from the GPS using gpscorrelate. It takes in a GPX and a list of the pictures, so I can do all of the pictures I took all day and correlate them very quickly, even if they were taken with different cameras.
There is a compact camera with GPS, the Nikon P6000, but it has to lock on to the satellites when you turn it on, which can take a while, especially if reception is weak.
Um, not quite. If you want to have the same magnification, you have to make the focal length / sensor size constant, so your position relative to the subject doesn't change, so the whole "Light decreases at the square of the distance." bit is irrelevant.
The focal length compared to the diagonal size of the senor determines what is considered "telephoto".
The aperture ratio (or f-stop) says how much light the lens gathers per unit area of sensor, and is irrelevant of sensor size, but is very dependent on focal length. (It is focal length / appearant pupil size) A shorter lens can get away with a smaller virtual entrance pupil.
So a 10mm f/2.8 lens could be very small, and given a small enough sensor that could be a good telephoto.
On the other hand, a 100mm f/2.8 is about 10 times bigger, and on a APS-C sized sensor that is a moderate telephoto.
Oh please, spare the lecture. You know what takes even better pictures than a lens with a multicoated filter on the end? One with no filter at all.
This is very true.
I only use protective filters on lenses that I can't easily replace (and then it is one of the Heilopans), the rest of my lenses only get protective filters when there is shit flying around that could easily damage the lens.

Even better: it is actually 3D.
You mean something like mod_gzip?
That leave only the url in the request header, the rest should (already) be compressed by mod_gzip.

I am pretty sure that 1 GB is a fair bit smaller than 80 GB.
Wouldn't an MP5 player not be usable in many countries?

And then I could give you a processor that has a backdoor in it.

Is that by number of miles driven?
Most accident stats are reported on the bases of number of miles driven, so a rarely used road would have a lower absolute number of accidents on it.

Not completely. You could make the sensor tiny, so that a "long" lens was about 10mm long.
Small body+big sensor+good telephoto is what is impossible.
Wouldn't Balmer throwing employee laden chairs all day improve on his strong arm tactics?
Yep, and one time I got a word document where the person had made columns by hand.
She had spaces between the 3 columns, so if I wanted to select the data in one of the columns I had to grab the part from each line.
The sad thing is she claims to be a "professional typist", but can barely use a computer.
I pasted that into a ruby file I was using to generate some LaTeX.
This is very true.
I only use protective filters on lenses that I can't easily replace (and then it is one of the Heilopans), the rest of my lenses only get protective filters when there is shit flying around that could easily damage the lens.
Except that any good filter had metal coatings, and I doubt this would be able to fix the coating as well.
For example, a Heilopan UV/protective filter with SH-PMC coating has 16 layers of coatings on each side.
If you aren't going to use a fully multicoated filter, then you are degrading every picture taken with that $1.5K lens.
You have a screen that could stand a 9.5 meter wide scratch?

So how about a fixed period, maybe with an extension, and leave the authors life out of the length?
