It's expensive, but a Panasonic DVX-100A is a extremely rugged camera. Its stability has made this camera a favorite among the independent film community. It is a hand-held model, miniDV media.
If your looking for a larger camera, a shoulder mount, get a XL1s. It's in the same price range, another great camera.
Both of these cameras are expensive now, however since Canon came out with the XL2, and Panasonic is introducing the HDX-200. Most filmmakers who use these older cameras are going to be upgrading and selling their older cameras.
"But I'm not a filmmaker, why do I want these cameras." There is a reason why filmmakers choose these cameras: they last and will always give you consistant results.
I work for a corporation, our email scanner recieved 120,000 emails within the past 12 days. It only sent 10,000 that it determined wasn't spam to our email server.
So, you are saying that it's better to go some university, lets name one in particular: Southwestern University, and get a 4 year CS degree.
Tell me one thing: WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT THAT THEIR KNOWLEGE!
And before you give me that "Well you learn things correctly in college" crap. Answer this: did you go to Southwestern? Then what the hell do you know about what they teach, and how they teach it.
HERE IS THE GOOD PART!
You are saying that going to college and getting a degree, a degree which an employer (unless they went there) has no idea what merits that gives to your knowlege IS BETTER than getting a certification from the company who built the product that you are certified in.
Companies are fed up with the bad workers that come out of college, TRUST ME, the entire college platform will be changing within the next decade!
Colleges used to teach valuable skills. Now most of them, you pay your tuition, sit in class, get your stupid piece of paper
EMPLOYERS NOW KNOW THIS! and are now looking at alternatives to college grads.
As far as trade schools, which you seem to hate: ITT = 90%+ employment in their field
Employers now are begining to understand trade schools and hobbist computer professionals are much better at their jobs then any standard college grad
They are typically better educated about their field (through self research), understand more about technology. Why? Because they enjoy it.
Sure I never finished college. Did you know I only have 8 hours left to finish my degree? I left because my college required foreign languages, which I could never pass.
Yeah, great stamp of approval: HEY EVERYBODY, make sure you only hire college grads, because they know spanish!
You make a good point, however a company will rarely hire a person just because they think they need one. They will hire somebody because they need to specific task completed. If that person has many other skills that could benefit the department, that applicant will have one up on the others.
Always remember that a company is going to invest money in you, they are looking for the best ROI.
I assume that you bought the "You must have a degree to be successful" crap.
I also assume that you went to a good college and received a degree, and by your wording I'm assuming a masters.
You probably have a fairly good job, with a masters I could guess being a professor. (I might be wrong there.)
So you bought the crap, the garbage that states, "DEGREE DEGREE DEGREE!" and you fell into the hole.
You are old-fashioned and haven't been keeping up with current trends
So you think I'm a high school drop-out. Wow, you are angry. That is not true.
I am a college drop-out.
And here it comes . . . "HA, see LOSER!!!!!!! YOU ARE WORTH NOTHING!"
I am sitting at my desk, as a system administrator for a international life insurance company. I get paid quite well for what I do, and I am extremely happy with my job.
I don't have a degree, but an amazing work ethic, incredible ability to learn, and a laundry list of certifications.
My company has been so impressed with my work that they have changed their way of thought when it comes to requirements for positions. We now no longer require college degrees for CS and require certain certifications for certain positions.
But, why talk to you about this? You probably won't listen . . . you seem extremely angry . . . probably because you found out you wasted 6 years of your life.
We have been brought up in an environment where people have dictated to us throughout our lives that having a college degree will ensure your success.
This could not be further from the truth.
Now don't get me wrong, college will be able to teach you incredible things, in a fantastic environment with qualified staff and surroundings. But always remember that is why you are there, not for a piece of paper stating you "graduated".
What businesses look for:
I noticed in a post above that companies might want to hire you because you are more "flexible", this is garbage. Go look at job postings, take 10 random ones. They will tend to be pretty stinking specific. Look at it from their perspective: If they are going to spend money, it will usually be because of a direct need. "Hey, we need some Perl stuff done." "Hey, we need someone than can rewrite older programs into.NET." "Hey, we are in need of a person that can take a given WinSrv/SQL set-up and move it to Linux/Oracle." You'll quite rarely see a "Hey, we need somebody that can do stuff (we're not really sure, just a lot of stuff)"
What is becoming in demand:
Certifications! Again, look at those random job postings. Time after time after time you will continue to see more and more people caring less and less about college and more about certifications/experience. Look at it from their perspective: Take a guy who graduated with a MS in computer science, what does that tell you about his knowledge? Nothing. Take another guy, this one with CompTIA A+, LPI Level II, and a MCSE. What does that tell you about his knowledge? A lot.
But why?
It's one thing to have an accredited 4 year college put their stamp of approval on you. It's quite another to have the actual manufacturers approval. Sure my college could say: "yeah, this dude knows what's going on.", or I could be interviewing for a position in a Microsoft shop, and have Microsoft say: "This person has the knowledge to deploy and manage OUR software in a corporate setting."
Always remember: A company is going to be spending money on someone, they want to be guaranteed that someone knows what they are doing. And as the progression of IT has made it, a degree doesn't match the power of certification.
Here is what I see. I feel that the author came at this project with one intent: Prove Windows as a flawed, unstable operating system. That's cool, but how you approach this research is essential. The author needed to provide some evidence that he/she did everything possible to make the argument for Windows to be stable and secure. Instead, I feel that the author went on a 30 page trollish rant.
Just at the beginning I feel that the author starts off in a position of placing Windows beneath Linux, when doing this kind of research you can't do that. You must keep the playing field constant and level at all times, let the facts speak for themselves. Here is a statement: "glaring logical holes", seriously. . . my boss would of stopped reading here.
The people that I need to hand this to adore and love Windows, I need to change their mind, calling them stupid conformists is not helping my situation.
A critical part in these research pieces are side-by-side comparisons, not once does this author do this. There are GOOD arguments for Windows, I do (because I have to) administer Windows at my work. I'm in charge of user accounts and email services. Windows is extremely easy, this is a good thing, it allows me to get my job done easier (notice I didn't say faster). WMI, a huge controversy in Redmond now, and quite possibly the worst security hole in Windows engineering does have good points to it. I can sit at my desk and perform a slew of operations on a remote end-users system without them even knowing anything has happened. Can you do this in Linux, of course, but it is much more difficult and requires more training.
Even more prevalent is their extremely one-sided arguments. Do this, open up the.pdf, scan it real quick and look only at the headings. Not one states a good point about Windows, nor a bad point about Linux.
What this author needed to do:
a.) Show the two operating systems
b.) Show how they are configured
c.) Hack the crap out of both systems, equally mind you (same attacks, same duration, etc.)
d.) Display the results (I'm not worried, I know who's winning this)
Most importantly: no emotion.
Nobody would read a paper, designed as above, a say "Well this guy obviously had an alternate agenda." They get to read it and weep, a paper like this one I could put on my companies CIO's desk and walk off knowing he would read it."
It's one thing to state you're wrong.
It's quite another to explain why, and this author needed to explain their argument much better by explaining both points of view.
Explaining changes peoples' minds, calling them morons doesn't.
I'm sorry, I love linux (I use slack at home) but this "report" seems to be nothing more than another "yea linux!" cheerleader piece.
I couldn't help but notice the authors' obliviousness to the other side of the argument (I'm not saying Windows is better, far from it, BUT there are points that need to be addressed. ) I was hoping that this would be a calm, well thought out piece on something that I believe in: Linux is more secure and stable than Windows.
How I was wrong.
What the linux community needs is a comprehensive BELIEVEABLE and intelligent paper on this subject.
I need something that I can take to my boss and say, "Look! See, linux is better."
If I gave him this paper, he'd laugh and say, "This is why we don't use linux, you people are nuts."
And here is a good reason to use the "Preview button" as the website states: (USE THE PREVIEW BUTTON!)
Please insert your own puncuation into the bad post above.
This is what I did:
Add the specific user to the local admin group.
log in as that user
install all of the palm software
remove the user from the local admin group
add the user to the ACL with modifiy rights on the PALM directory.
This has worked fine for me. Make sure that your ACL's are getting inherited down, that'd cause some trouble.

The TXCABLE webpage promotes another absurd look on how competition will hurt consumers.
