    Nope, It was the fine folks at WotC, and they probably colluded with hasbro on this one (to avoid getting sued over trademarks).

    Don't buy it if you don't need it. I bought a PDA 5 years ago, it just sits there. I won't make that mistake again. I don't need a video IPod, dvd video camera, pvr, etc.

    I don't think I have autism, or even aspergers, but I can't usually interpret when a woman is romatically interested in me. It would be really nice to have a device that could do this.

  11. Courier on Sendmail Hit by Data Interception Flaw · · Score: 1

    Courier is a Great idea. One mail application. Not an MTA and seperate MDAs. Just one. Unfortunately, trying to figure out how to set up just SMTP+POP3 for a single machine with multiple aliases and a few virtual users seems to require knowing how to configure everything

    (If I'm wrong, and there actually is a guide telling how to do this, someone please post a note, I'd like to finally migrate to the new server we got 1.5y ago.)

    oh good god. a 8MP image can be printed at 20X30 and look better than 35mm film.

    And a 35mm image can be printed at 20x30 and look better than an 8MPixel digital sensor image. Untill you specify the specific cameras, lenses, tripods, subject, lighting, scanner, scanner software, raw converter, film, processing lab, camera settings, postprocessing steps, printing technology, and intended use, it is you that's trolling. In the mean time I'll continue using what works for me.

    Most pro photographers do not shoot at more than 6MP because THERE IS NO USE for higher res right now.

    It really depends on the intended use of their photos. Newspaper and portrait photographers shoot low-rez because that suits their needs. You can be sure though that PlayBoy's feature photographers are shooting full-frame digital at least (although I suspect medium-format Kodak Portra NC judging by the contrast, tonality, and colour balance).

    I often choose 35mm Print film because it gives me resolution slightly better than I'd get with a 1Ds, but much nicer exposure lattitude. Plus I get smaller depth of field than with a sub-frame digital, without having to shell out $20,000 for a 1Ds and a bunch of new lenses.

    Pros are not rushing out to buy new digitals they are getting FANTASTIC results with 6mp right now.

    You seem to be confusing newspaper photographers with all pro photographers. It depends on their intended use. Fashion photographers are just starting to go digital (from MF) with the introduction of full-frame digitals and digital backs for MF.

    you weenies that think that megapixels are everything are getting on my nerves.

    People who think that how they use their camera is how everyone uses their camera, and what they expect from prints is what everyone expects from prints get on my nerves.

  15. Ummm... on Apple MacBook Pro 'Fastest Windows XP Notebook'? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Does this mean Apple's suddenly changed their wimpy memory policy, or did they just only try tiny 8MP images? Last year they were still marketing Dual G5s with only 256MB RAM as being good for photo and video editing... not with that amount of RAM they're not.

  16. Re:"It's gonna get blown up anyway" on UK Parliament to be Made Redundant? · · Score: 1
    The closest thing in the world today to an actual government functioning in the ways that Britain's government is shown functioning are in those countries run by islamofacists or communists (Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, etc).

    If this bill passes (and gets royal assent), maybe not for long.
