    Thanks for that, g00set.

    What an affecting story. And a caution to all of us amateur photographers.

  3. "Linux operating system-related program codes" on IBM Ordered to Show More Code to SCO · · Score: 1

    Operating system-related program codes ... dammit, where have I heard that phrase before ... or something similar ... it's on the tip of my tongue.

    Oh yes.

  4. errata on Closed Digital Cameras - Does Anyone Care? · · Score: 1

    The 20D has an 8MP sensor. The 300D has a 6MP sensor.

    The price difference is a lot more than $300-$400. The Rebel is around $700, the 20D is around $1400.

    Note that access.net DNS was _not_ hijacked. Just panix.com.

    BTW, it's morning in Melbourne, and the root DNS is now fixed.

    An average PC has multiple hard drives, some running at 10K RPM? On what planet?

  9. my favorite name change on SCO Playing Name Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Philip Morris -> Altria

    We're all supposed to think "altruism" and forget about their habit of peddling cancer sticks to young people.

  10. Re:New Design: on New iPod Design Pictures Leak · · Score: 0

    I think I read somewhere that Apple computes market share
    by *price*. Since their units are more expensive than others,
    naturally that calculation makes their share look bigger.

    I'm thinking of Windows-On-Windows and Sender Rewriting

    Don't be ridiculous. Salespeople have been lying

    > If your using higher bitrate AAC files or Apple

    It's analog when the AAC decoder finishes with it,
    right? So does it then get re-digitized for S/PDIF? Or am I missing something? Thanks ...

  16. Re:Workaround on Safari Falls Victim to Remote Code Exploit · · Score: 1

    This is not a Safari nor a Webcore issue. It is a Mac OS X issue.

    Strip out the word "inversely" and you've got it right.

    Type and creator are not stored in the resource

    Either the people interviewed have no clue at all, or the
    reporter didn't. My guess is the latter. In any case I can't

    It's 30% over your budget, but the Etymotic ER-6s

    Or a pair of the lower-end Grados or Sennheisers if the in-ear
    thing is too weird.
