    If you don't use the advanced features, and you don't let Google Desktop outside the firewall (ZoneAlarm), HOW would the DOJ know that you're running Google Desktop? Downloads wouldn't count since not everyone who downloads it installs it, and vice versa.

    Any ideas?

  17. Re:Nit picking on Rio Carbon MP3 Has A 5G CF To Be Cannibalized · · Score: 1

    The 1500 picture number is in the right range. I have a Nikon D70 with a Hitachi 4GB microdrive (from a Muvo2) and I get ~1100 pictures at the highest setting (6mpixel, jpg fine, each photo around 2-2.5mb). It really depends on what compression he uses, I can get 2.2K pictures if I go down to Jpg Normal.

    And yes, having 1.1k pictures does come in handly. Whenever I go shooting I usually take anywhere from 500-600 photos for a full day. It's not always easy to get insects and animals (not to mention people) to pose the right way. They tend to keep on moving on their own, so I just hold the shutter down, and sort through the photos later. The 9 frame buffer on the D70 is a life saver here.

    As for power, the Nikon D70 is great on that! I get anywhere from 1100-1200+ photos, depending on whether I used how much flash, and that includes alot of focusing, and menu operations, and reviewing of pictures. So, power consumption has a lot more to do with the camera and it's batery. If designed properly you can get a long life from it. I haven't even gotten a second battery yet. I just charge it after two days (1200+ pics) worth of shooting.
