Be nice to them and promise to not sell the photos or use them publically, whatever.
And at some point during the negiotiation, offer them additional money for the photos. We spoke to two wedding photographers, and I think they both thought that $800 - $1000 was reasonable for about 200 wedding negatives.
My suggestion to you: keep shopping. There are photographers who will sell you the photos, you just need to look harder. It's a tough economy, even for photographers.
Tell them that if they won't give you the photos, then they won't get your business. Be nice to them and promise to not sell the photos or use them publically, whatever.
It may be their intellectual property, but it's YOUR WEDDING and YOUR MEMORIES. This isn't just some business transaction, it's YOUR sacred moment.
You don't want just any old 'ls', you want the GNU Fileutils. The native versions on most other Un*x's are horrible in comparison. 'less' on Solaris is (was) horribly broken.
Life is so much more readable and organized with 'ls --color' and 'mv --verbose', the sensable scrolling commands of GNU less (In comparison to 'less' on Solaris).

Has anyone else had a situation where the danger of technology loosing you business outweigh the efficiencies gained?
Yes, absolutely, every day. This is what most technology jobs are about. If technology was flawless, then most of us wouldn't have jobs at all.
And technology isn't flawless. In fact, alot of technology gets more and more complex every year. eFax is supposed to be simple to use, yet people still email me eFax attachments every year (Write plain text document in Word, convert the.doc to eFax, email to me. Argggg...)
In your case, it sounds like you or someone else in your company was too hasty to use PS formats instead of PDFs.
It's hard to tell if you simply misunderstood how to upload a.ps document into eFax properly, or if you actually triggered a bug within eFax. Either way, you should have tested this major change before pushing it out.
Apache is what they do. Several of the major Apache developers work for Covalent. The company provides training, support and managed services for Apache, Tomcat, etc.
I was one of the people to sign up for the do-not-call list within the first few weeks. It's been really great with one big exception:
Nursing Recruiters.
My wife is a nurse in California. There is a super high demand for nurses around here, and as a result there are many, many nursing recruiters.
We get 4-5 calls a week from nursing recruiters.
With CallerID, the call comes in as "000-000-0000" or "Unknown" for the number, and "Unknown" for the name. It's an automated call, and their machine leaves a message on our answering machine.
I've filed a several compaints with the FTC, and have called the recruiters back on their 800 numbers to see if I can get removed. However, I can't get in touch with a human-- Just an answering machine.
Hey, that's a good intro to quakes then. Most quakes are like that. Things shake a big, nothing big happens. Most quakes sound like a big truck drove down the street.
However, note that you were 50 miles from the epicenter, and you are on a different faultline. That severely decreases the dramatic effect:)
If you and the 5.2 were on the same faultline, it would be much more intense.
We felt the San Simeon earthquake in the Bay Area, and we were a couple hundred miles away!
The Bulk folder is where SpamGuard puts unsolicited bulk mail. Solicited bulk mail is not supposed to end up in the Bulk folder. When it does go there, it's a mistake.
Otherwise, how is one supposed to distinquish between Spam and legitimate bulk email?
True, Yahoo should call it the "Spam" folder, but they don't.
coupled with some of the best spam-filtering available
Hmm. I'm looking to transfer my web mail from Yahoo to Gmail now, because Yahoo Spam filters fail too much.
I'm on a couple dozen mailing lists, and *every* mailinglist that I am on has ended up in the Bulk folder, including mailing lists that I manage, email from CERT and even some email from Yahoo's Paydirect (I checked and it was a legitimate email).
For the last 2 weeks a bunch of Spam containing unobfuscated words like "Viagra" and "Teen Sex" made it past the Spam filters, yet an email from CERT was in my Bulk folder.
Granted, I've had my Yahoo account for about 7 years and I get alot of spam. But the number of false positives is pretty amazing. Every day I probably receive 5 legit emails and 150 messages in my bulk folder. Usually 3-5 spam messages are missed by the Spam filters, and 1-2 legit emails are tagged as Spam.
I've clicked the "Not Spam" button for each of these mailinglists, but I rarely notice any improvement (probably because there are a hundred other recipients who don't tag the email as "Not Spam").
The only solution was to add the dozens of "From:" address for each of the mailinglists to my addressbook.
Which meant that you could reach one, and stay on as long as you'd like
And then, there was call waiting, and then later there were roommates, and the worst of the lot: roommates who insisted on subscribing to call waiting.
Sure, you could dial *70 or whatever to turn call waiting off, but only if you remember to put it in the dialer config...
Look, it's OK if Debian wants to provide 500 text editors. That's fine for Debian users.
But I think new Unix users would find value in having a reasonable default set of good packages, rather then having dozens of choices for every software category. They can always install another text editor later on.
I remember my first experience with Debian. I was overwhlemed by the number of choices. I just wanted something that worked well. I didn't want to spend hours comparing hundreds of alternative products.
Things have improved, but I still think many people find the number of choices to be overwhelming.
In fairness, it looks like The "Click-N-Run" is $49 initially for one year. Not sure what the renewal costs, but I think you just buy another one year licence.
Apt-get is free and great for experienced users, but it can be tough for new users to understand. Packages aren't always organized cleanly, and there is lots of old kruft on the Debian tree (How many text editors would a non-techie need?).
I've easily spent more then $49/year of my personal time dealing with problems from Apt-get.
Since the early days of these PDA devices, I have always found them to be overrated, lacking in features and too expensive for what they do.
My wife and I own two PDAs, but they both mostly collect dust. I bring mine with us on vacation so that I have easy access to a bunch of information, but that's about it.
I would love to be able to combine my PDA and Cell Phone into a single device. Basically, I want a mobile phone with the 3 basic PDA functions: Contact list, Calendar, Todo list.
However, I have never seen a model that does this well for a decent price.
I see alot of crappy devices with features I don't need: I don't need 16-million battery draining colors, I don't want a video camera in my PDA and an mp3 player is nice but not necessary.

Arg! All my bragging rights, gone!
Unfortunately, you can only transition your account if you have access to the email account you use for seti@home.
Seti@home never let me change my email address with them, so I can't transition my current account to the new services.
I signed up for seti@home 5 years ago, lost access to the account only recently. Yarg! It's all gone!
I think it was only in the future queue which is viewable by subscribers...

including a 5.2 and 3.6 this morning
Whoa, calm down. There's nothing unusual here.
Magnitude 5 earthquakes happen about once or twice every year in Southern California. There were several smaller quake a few hours after the 5.3, but those are aftershocks and happen after every big quake.
Also, a 3.6 is not unusual at all.
Statewide every week, there are about 5-10 earthquakes that are magnitude 3-4. They happen all the time, and aren't really an indicator of anything.
So calm down, take a deep breath and welcome to the earthquake state.
I used TeraTerm for years. An excellent product, and I like some parts better then PuTTY.
However I stopped using the product because, TeraTerm's SSH extension doesn't support SSH v2.
There are many security problems with SSH v1. Nobody should use it anymore.
