All bank, phone, and cable companies suck. Some suck slightly more/less than others but they all suck. Sorry to hear of your troubles. This. 1000 times this. I agree 1000% DO NOT EVER setup automatic withdrawals from a checking/debit account. Shredding mail isn't the nicest thing to do...

Possible 5D4 specs. Surprisingly no CFast slot and only 4k30p video. I can kinda see Canon protecting 1Dx2 sales with only 30p video but I would have thought Canon would include, and match the 1Dx2, with Cfast and CF slots. A pro will need 3 types of cards if shooting a 1Dx2 & 5D4. :scratch:

Nikon gear in Rio.

Agreed. Is a 700 watt PSU really needed?

LOL. I'm just jealous of your gear. I'm dormant as far as photography goes as it's still too hot to do anything but I'm thinking about taking a week+ long vacation in late Oct/early Nov.

Hard drive are approximately 1,000,000x larger than they were 30 years ago. 10MB drives available 30 years ago. 10TB drives available now. Question: Is reliability higher now or 30 years ago? Let's suppose you have 20 TB of data and replicated it 5x across 100 TB of disk space. Would...

A WD 10 TB HDD.

Here's another pic of Lunar's DSLR gear. I believe this pic is more accurate than the last one I posted. ;)

^^^ You just jinked yourself Sed. You'll be married in six months now. Sorry.

I think your comments posted up thread are valuable. It's good to hear "all sides" of an issue. But, perhaps you are correct and the peanut gallery should STFU unless/until Merc posts more about his living situation. And besides Merc did post his living situation here, and if he wasn't...

Well shit. I apologize. Don't know how I missed you not being married or thought you were still married. Again sorry for that.

Merc wrote that she is a friend. Friends help friends. As long as she is not pushing Merc down hill or negatively disrupting his life, what's the problem? Didn't Merc write up-thread that she cooks/cleans and does bring over her friends, which would be other girls? I guess there's some...

Rumors put the 5Div at 30MP and 9 fps. We should know for sure next month.

Just some of Lunar's DSLR gear. Apparently he still has to upgrade six of his 1DX's to 1DX Mark II's.

The script I was using (originally posted by mubs) is no longer being maintained. Has anybody used, or can suggest, any other script to keep w10 and spyware craps off my w7 O/S? Or even just a complete list of all the w10 KB updates to avoid. I have no plan, or reason to, update to w10...

Smartphone comparison chart here.

I'm sure if the RNC email servers were hacked we'd find the same type of emails. Different sides of the same coin.

I'm not in the Canon world but I can't wait to find out what feature will be a Canon DSLR First Coming to EOS 5D Mark IV.

Earth is small Earth is small, when compared to the largest known star.

Yeah, that lens is ridiculous. 5D mark IV to be announced Aug 25.

For the times when you can only carry one lens and you aren't sure what focal length you'll need.

My LOW temps are higher than your high temp. Of course it's summer here.

I also never answer any phone unless I know the number or I'm expecting a call and it shows up on the caller ID. I have a landline. But it's not really a land line as it's provided by Cox cable. Power goes out, no working landline phone.

I have 2 external USB 3.0 HDDs and 2 internal HDDs. Four copies of important data. I'll admit it's disorganized and I need to prune and organize a bit. Like jtr I have moved from floppies to CD-Rs to DVD+R to external HDDs. You have to keep moving your data onto the newer/current data...

Probably asked and answered before, but if I took the Samsung 840 Pro out of my computer, put it in an anti-static bag, and stored it in a cool/dry/static-free box, how long could I store the drive then re-attach it and get data off of it? If I stored a spinning HDD the same why which device...

Found the answer to my issue. Seems a script came from "chasecdn.com" that NoScript blocked but the NoScript stasis bar didn't pop up like it normally does. Only found it by "right-click on page"-->NoScript-->Recently blocked sites. I then added site to NoScript's Whitelist and I'm back in...

My FICO score changed again: Score is either 834 or 806. Last month at this time I had zero balance, this month my balance was around $850. Seems if my credit utilization is 5-7% score drops to 806, but if I'm all paid off score goes up to 834. Or visa-versa if they report score based on...

Hmmmmm. Removed AdBlock+ and still get the "enable javascript" prompt from chase bank web site. Still have to remove NoScript and restart browser to get in. /facepalm

Any alternatives to NoScript worth looking into? I feel like I should keep running NoScript but disabling/re-enabling it for one site is a PITA. Perhaps enough people will be hit with this problem the NoScript (or adblock+) people will come up with a patch.

You can hire a hitman but you can't figure out how to buy the domain? :scratch: Continually hit F5 while chanting, "Come on baby." Seriously though, good luck getting the domain. Can you tell us the name you want?

Well this is bullshit. I can't log into my bank, Chase, with NoScript plugin anymore?!? WTF? I have to completely disable NoScript then restart browser to log in. NO scripts were blocked for chase. Ad block disabled, Ghostery disabled, cookies enabled, pop-ups allowed. Everything allowed...

I've noticed my "reading vision" start to go south when I turned 47. Someone else might need them when they turn 55. Who knows. I can still read for the most part without reading glasses, but if I'm reading a book or reading very small print I need reading glasses. But 95-99% of my...

Since your vision is relatively stable AND you earn a decent living you should consider Lasik and be done with glasses for good. My vision was approximately 20/200. Then in 2006 I got Lasik and went to 20/20. Amazing quality of life differences. 1) ALWAYS perfect vision. Wake up, in shower...

Curious. 1) Is the Vizio 3840x2160 @ 60Hz? Is the chroma 4:4:4 or 4:2:2?

Well it is good to know that I'm not the only one. ;) I too have have not noticed a thing unless looking at static test images. The "image retention" goes away rather quickly and does not seem to be permanent. That's all I care about. Probably true. There probably are some change in...

To get back on topic a bit. DD can you go to this "LCD Image Retention Test" page and see if your 43" Dell shows any signs of image retention. After 5 minutes of displaying that static B&W checkerboard pattern then switching to the grey screen I was able to can see a very, very, very faint...

My uncle died from it. Aunt and Uncle used to like in rural Arkansas and he would just wander off and leave the farm and the sheriff would end up picking him up off the road and taking him home. Forgot who his family was and started to become violent when presented with "strangers" (him...

Link. LOL ;) I'm kidding. And I'm with Howell, I'm curious as to the reason for the reaction. I wanted to plug in my card reader and I had to stop and figure out just how I was going to do it. I had to get on knees on side of desk, turn monitor so half of it was hanging off the back of...

Moderately O/T. I wanted to copy the entire Dell monitor CD driver disk to a folder on my HD. Create folder on my HD and Drag-n-Drop using Windows Explorer. Copy proceeded at 1.3 MB/s. Took MINUTES to copy 354 MB. WTF. Googled, then went to Control Panel --> Admin Tools -->Services -->...

I posted an additional review of the Dell P4317Q over on the [H]ard|ocp forums if anybody is interested.

$179 for a full suspension bike is actually a crazy low price compared to what you could spend. High end, "double-black-diamond" rated, downhill mountain bikes are easily $3000-5000. Or more! On a less severe trail the bike would probably hold up fine. The main drawback to a bike at such a...

Ting still working out? Any issues?

Doh! Of course. I should have known Dave would include a high-end squeegee. He thinks of everything.

That's horrible news Coug. Several months ago a woman at my work was run over by a truck and killed. Early 40s. I had no interactions with her, and the whole story around it was very bizarre, but it does put things in perspective. Don't take things for granite and even a shitty day is better...

Looks sweet. Is that some funky plexiglass or simply 40 million dust particles showing up in the pic? ;)

My only other advice, schedule wise (of course it's already TOO late) is to not schedule back-2-back classes with only 10 or 15 min between them. Two reasons. 1) Classes on opposite side of campus and now you have to practically run to next class, and/or can't stay a few minutes late to ask...

I've started writing 10-page papers at 10pm. Due the next day. An 8am class would have really make that difficult.

You have trouble with GREATER than 4 hours or sleep? I would have guessed <4 (less than 4 hours) would be more of an issue. Kids these days. ;) Six classes. Of course that "Campus Culture 100" class is prolly some BS class, so five real classes. Is it a "quarter" system" or "semester...

LMAO. No really. LOLing right now.

Great pics Coug. The complete green "blanket" of vegetation and grass is amazing. Most of the places I've been in SoCal, Yosemite, AZ, Utah, etc has green trees/shrubs, etc but simply does not have the blanket of that lovely green you have up north. Incredible. Makes me want to get outside...
