IMHO Sony is best known for it's engineering. I personally bought a Sony camera because of its size. I was travelling across Europe at the time and I needed something to fit in my pocket, so I bought the T1. It's about as small as a pack of cards, takes great quality pics, and it's easy to use. Even though it does have it's problems (horrible JPEG compression, 5MP images come out to be 2.5MB!), I still love it and wouldn't've bought anything else. Just my $0.02.
Does anyone know how to set Picasa 2 to save the rotation changes to the JPEG and not in some application data file somewhere? I constantly import pictures and then alter them using Picasa, but the rotation changes don't seem to come up when I upload them to a website. What's going on?
Pretty sure you got it off a bad mirror. I'd uninstall and re-install direcly from http://www.picasa.com/ . The website says it's free and there would be no use for an activation key. I've been running it for a couple days now and haven't had that experience... where'd you get that install in the first place???
Hmmm I've got a problem with your thinking. First of all, gravity has been proven over and over again, every day life proves that gravity exists, there's no doubt about that. But evolution as the origin of all life today has not been proven. That is the root cause of these stickers. Evolution, to a certain extent, does exist. But only in limited amounts and mostly regarding small changes within a species. No species has EVER evolved into something different. There are no intermediate fossils. Many experiments that have claimed to have reproduced the start of evolution have since been discredited. Evolution is a theory, it has not been proven just as much as creationism has not been proven. Both are more of religions, they must be believed through faith.
I've had the same experience. I had limewire installed on my computer, and ad-aware, stinger, pc-cillin, spybot s&d found nothing (even when it was installed and after i had uninstalled it). This was only about a week ago, and all their definitions were up to date.
Limewire does run slowly. Honestly I use iTunes more and more now, just because i'm sick of the fake RIAA implanted files that I get off networks, and the hassel of finding a P2P program that doesn't install spyware....

Dubbed Operation Firewall, the Secret Service identified a group of people who stole over 1.7 million credit card numbers as well as a passport-forging facility in Bulgaria.
I'm not sure how you steal a FACILITY in Bulgaria, but these crooks are bloody amazing if they pulled it off!! Cheers to them!
Now off to steal that new Parliament building in Scotland....
wow, that makes me sooo very happy that I drive a car that was made before anyone knew what a laptop, or a serial dongle or a airbag was or what AFAIK meant. I swear the best feeling in the world is being able to fix anything wrong with you car without having to go to a mechanic and having a computer tell HIM what's wrong with the car.
I don't need airbags, my car's made out of steel, not plastic, and weighs probably next to twice as much as modern cars. Ok ok, i mean sure i get 10MPG, but it's worth it right? (that's what i keep telling myself everytime i fill up here in California...) =)
i understand completely... all my money goes to my bucardi. personally, i have a dell D800 laptop. (i know i know, my school had a deal on it, so i bought it)... and my desktop is an AMD 800 thunderbird... talk about old school! it barely runs win XP, but i love it... It still runs and it runs well!!
you know what? I'm drunk, and i don't care if Intel delays their chip shipments, cuz i'm only going to buy AMD chips anways!!! so delay away intel!! let's go AMD!!
I think he was referring more to the general consumer cameras with 3 or 4 megapixels. Digital cameras these days are getting smaller and smaller and consequently the lens is getting smaller and smaller also. My dad has a pretty compact 4-MP camera by Kodak and while it takes great pictures, if you zoom-in in Photoshop, you can tell the individual pixel quality is terrible. On the other hand, if you zoom-in on a photo taken by a DSLR, the pixel quality is excellent. This is mostly caused because the DSL are a much bigger lens, allowing much more light to get to the sensor, while the compact lens greatly reduces the amount of light getting the sensor.
If it was me, I would take a 3 MP DSL over a 5MP compact consumer camera....

How does Google do it?

Not necessarily. You can easily fudge this information. You don't have to relate any specific information, in fact Google could quite easily just say "$10,000 for capital investments" and everything would confirm perfectly to GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Capital investments could be anything from computer servers, a new piece of land, a new building, or pens/pencils for all we would know. Google, through it's financial statements doesn't have to say exactly what they spent their cash on, just what catagory it fits in (Operating, Investing, and Financing).
wow! free internet on the highway!! that'll make those long road trips through utah a lot shorter!! maybe this billboard thing isn't a bad idea after all?? i could deal with the billboards if they provided me free internet on my cross country trips...
I don't know if there would be that many lawsuits as long as there were certain restrictions set on the billboards...
First, moving images and flashy graphics would definately be a no-no. As long as the image stayed somewhat static it wouldn't be a big distraction to drivers. Just as billboards today can have as many bright colors and some even have flashy glittering tin-foil-type-stuff to draw attention, they do not attempt to sustain the driver's constaint attention.
second, although the brightness would certainly have to be scalable for daylight versus night conditions, there would have to be a maximum brightness at night so as not to blind drivers and/or distract them too much. There are plenty of mega-trons at car dealerships on the side of major freeways, and they are certainly prevalent in Las Vegas. None of those guys have been sued for distracting drivers and causing wrecks...
The problem is, Intel's been brainwashing the public that YOU WANT A COMPUTER WITH MANY MANY GIGAHERTZ for so long now that the're more or less stuck with high power consumption until they have time to create a whole new architecture.
Actually, intel is moving away from measuring chip speed by GHZ. Wired just had this article about it.
Basically, Intel is a couple years behind AMD who is now using numbers like 2300+ to describe chip speed.
but if MS puts out a windows version on anything, we all scream bloody murder.. but whatever =) Speaking of new ideas.. what about linux running on a cell phone? MS has their smart phone. Where's tux on my motorola?
i dunno if the cell companies would pick it up. But I think we could use a stable, useful OS on cells (considering how advanced they are getting). Personally I've had lots of trouble with my motorola V70, i even somehow hang the OS on that!!!
These really are getting out of hand... ok fitting a PC into a Linux box (literally) was kind of interesting. Making an iMac into an aquarium is fun. But a dead badger? I'm no animal rights activist... but this joke isn't even funny
FYI -
POP3 access is only available for Yahoo! if you pay for. I forget what the actual yearly costs are, probably around $30. However, Yahoo!POPs is freeware that you can access your Yahoo! mail on. It sets up a localhost for the SMTP and POP3 server, and it remotely accesses yahoo! and translates the HTML email pages. Very incredible free program!

of course i meant my computer at the time... win xp never runs well. but i've never had a problem with my computer.
i understand completely... all my money goes to my bucardi. personally, i have a dell D800 laptop. (i know i know, my school had a deal on it, so i bought it) ... and my desktop is an AMD 800 thunderbird... talk about old school! it barely runs win XP, but i love it... It still runs and it runs well!!
i have no idea what that means... and i'm too drunk to figure it out.. but your one funny fellow. god bless... and go Cheney 04
isn't it though?
amazingly enough, drunk people have some good insight. Because they throow away all the BS and just give you the stgraight truth!
you know what? I'm drunk, and i don't care if Intel delays their chip shipments, cuz i'm only going to buy AMD chips anways!!! so delay away intel!! let's go AMD!!

really?? well then, forget Yahoo!POPs!! I'm switching over. Thanks.

God bless firefox!!! I stopped using IE a looooong time ago... ActiveX controls are the bain of my existance
