I don't know which Canon you were looking at, but I have two (a 1nHS and a 10D) and each one's lens mount is made of metal. Additionally, the Canon mount is physically far larger in diameter with a shorter back focus, so I can mount Nikon lenses NO PROBLEM.
Either brand is great, though. I wouldn't pick a 'dying' brand like Minolta, Pentax (not dying, but definately on life support), or Olympus.
In all seriousness, this is the SAME as a remote root exploit. Users run Windows NT+ as Administrator. If access is allowed to their (remember, they are the Administrator) files, magical Root exploits could happen.
Actually, one Enron exec was assassinated by a pistol shot shell. The kind folks at CCI (who make the shotshells) say the dispersal pattern indicates the dude was shot from six feet away.
Unless this person was Stretch Armstrong, there's no way you shoot yourself in the head from six feet away.
The reason why external monitors tend to be thicker is because it's easier (cheaper?) and more reliable to get even backlighting that way. The Ti 867 which I have has a screen that blows away every other laptop screen I have ever seen (especially with Adobe RGB) but pales next to my Cinema Display.
Last winter, I had planned to help my mother get a new computer. At the last minute, before I had arrived, she ran out and bought herself an E-machines. She had it all in boxes when I got there, and asked me to 'fix it' for her. I fixed it by bringing the computer back to Beast Buy, raising hell with the staff (there was some fucking 90 day setup 'fee' for $300 that they tacked on) and got her an at least functional PC for 33% off.
I don't want my dear old mom harmed by exploding motherboard components.
I think his point was the friend doesn't want help deciding what level of quality to go with on the purchase, but the inevitable poor quality chosen by this PC buyer necessitates him dragging his ass over and helping his Compaq-embattled friend when the shitstorm starts. I have exactly the same policy with my friends - if they don't think enough of me to discuss a major computer purchase, but then want a free mechanic after the fact, they're out of luck.
Besides, being an almost completely fangless and completely inept organization designed to protect 'investor confidence' over the individual investor, the SEC's primary goal is to soften the potentially damaging blows that the legal system could deal to unscrupulous investment firms by 'arbitration'.

The neat thing about the iRiver is that once you attach its 'backpack' hard drive, upping the stored music from 128MB to 20GB, it's so bit and heavy that it actually creates its own black hole!
Seriously, the iRiver is one of the most retarded things I have ever seen. Plus, it has OGG support!
The Canon 10D, 300D, D60 and 1Ds all use CMOS technology. It's fundamentally different from CCDs and gives SUPERB results in low light / long exposure situations.
The DRM-encumbered tracks (Protected AACs) are easily broken. Apple undoubtedly designed it this way. Their DRM is designed to 'keep honest people honest.' They won't throw up unimaginable barriers if you really NEED to make an MP3 out of that AAC.
I won't go into how to break the protection, but Apple provides you with all the tools necessary to do so. Any clever person can figure it out.

A 1.4x Tele-converter means only half the light falls on the sensor. A 1.6x crop doesn't affect the light delivered to the photosite, only the size of the photosite. The image circle is the same size whether there's a digital sensor there or some film. The film (or larger sensor) will collect a larger amount of light, but collects no more light per square unit of area! There isn't any 'sensor sleight of hand'.
What you are thinking of is called pixel pitch. Smaller pixels collect less light, but the 10D has similar pixel pitch to the 'full-frame' 1Ds and performs roughly identically (noise-wise).
It's just a crop of the lighted area. You obviously haven't used a 10D - it blows away Velvia for many applications, and maintains virtually noise-free operation up to ISO 800.

I actually view the 1.6 crop as a serious benefit when it comes to long telephoto photography. It's a free tele-converter that doesn't cost any light!

At ISO 1600 it's a bit noisier than the 10D at 3200. The 10D has 'real' MLU as well as delay MLU. I have used my 10D on starry skies with the 50mm f/1.8 II to great effect. I want the 35mm f/1.4 L next.
I bought the 10D in May, and already have 7000 frames taken. A quick mental burst of calculation: 36 frames of Velvia (my usual film) is $8.00. Development is $5.00. 7000 % 36 * $13 = $2527 IN FILM MONEY SAVED IN SIX MONTHS. I was spending around a grand before per six-month period. This was enough to afford 2 'L' series lenses ON TOP of the cost of the 10D.
If you shoot a lot, it is worth it. If you don't plan on putting at least a couple thousand frames a year onto your camera, buy a film Rebel. It'll be cheaper in the long run.

I took a picture of the moon last night with my EOS 10D, and my 70-200 on a 2x teleconverter. It turned out fantastically.
Canon's CMOS sensor is much more useful in low light than CCD-based cameras.

The AnthroCart people make an armature like this, btw. AFAIK, though, it only bolts to one of their $35,995 desks though.

The average lifespan for a Mac is about six years, but good point nonetheless.
OpenOffice and MPlayer would just about do it. They're also standard fare on most any distribution.

.NET is NOT fast. You are SO full of shit.
.NET was even slightly fast, you'd think they'd allow benchmarking. As it stands Java is blindingly fast when compared to .NET.

I was just outside taking pictures of spiders, handheld. This wouldn't be economical with film.

There's a sort of cutco / melaleuca style pyramid marketing thing going on with the MIRT as well. Strange.
They'll probably win, though. Judges have a soft spot for crazy folks who talk out of their ass and Masons.
