While i hate attacks to my beloved Firefox... I must agree... most people will want to see "Free"... and if they see a number, it has to be higher then the number they are currently using...
Didn't Redhat jump a few numbers to compete with other vendors?
Anyway, gonna go pickup my New York Times now, so I can put the ad up on my wall as people enter my apartment
Why use Gamespy? Cant they use alternate game hosting services to host the games? heck, some witty people made XConnect, allowing you to play XBox System Link games online.. Don't see why the mac community can't make their own hosting services, or use one of the computers in the game to 'host' the game/server while they play?
I use the LCD to frame shots, unless I need to conserve battery Power... And then i look at the quick 1-2 second preview after the shot to see if i want to keep it...
I use the LCD mainly because that's where all the important information is.... I don't use 'Auto' so I need the LCD screen to see if i need to adjust the ISO, Apature Size, or shutter speed.. I also use it to help create 'frames' in the image (parts of the photo that force the eye to look at certain parts of the image, or to keep them from 'reading' the image (eyes going from left to right, then off the photo to something else--frames are good for creating 'disturbances' which keeps people's focus when they are looking at multiple works of art/photography) An exampel of framing is shown Here -- notice how the stone wall at the bottom creates a 'frame' of the image...
So No, I don't use Auto settings -- unless I have someone else taking a picture, or I am just doing a quick-shot to get an idea for a better (more controlled) shot
I don't use the frame viewer 99.999% of the time
And I use a Fuji FinePix E550 - 6.3 Megapixel... If you like taking night/dark shots like this (taken just after sunset, so still some light) or darker/true night shots; you may want to get a camra that can do a 5+ second exposure
I've taken some Amazing photo's with a digital camra... It's a mater of adjusting to the camra... I personally hate waiting between shooting and development, with my digital camra (6.3M), I can do a 500-picture photo shoot, produce -perfect- 8 1/2" x 11" prints.. and I pay no money other then ink, paper, and electricity for running the printer and recharging the battery...
A lot cheaper, nearly identicle photo's (to all but the most trained photographer)... and no 'wasted shots' since they can all be deleted if they come out wrong...
A professional might like to keep both kinds of camra's around... but as an advanced amatuer I gotta say I love digital photography the most

almost positive they already had a court case on that
