How much exposure does an indecent take, Mark?

Or just drink less

People who use Macs mostly say nice stuff about them. This is largely because people who use Macs, in the main, are incredibly ignorant about computing. We know this because we know that they voluntarily and of their own free will use Macs. AOL users, on the other hand, at least have the...

And why the hell doesn't it, hey? Tell me that! What is the bloody point of a bloody computer system that doesn't bloody do what you bloody tell it to? Eh? Look, it's Tuesday, right? Lasht Friday I had an important project almost finished. I had a slihgst obredose of alclol caushed entirley by...

It's big. It's very fast. It's heavy. It has amazingly good ISO 6400. It is -- YIKE! I was only ... But .... Oh all right! mumblemumblemumblebarstardmumblemumblemumblebarstardmumble

Come on over Doug. This early spring day is perfect: clear sky, bright sunshine with just a touch of breeze to remind me that winter's chill is still not far away, the birds are calling, the wildflowers are budding, and my ID III arrived a couple of hours ago. Life is good. Well, life would be...

Well, funny you should say that, Dave, as I'm fond of the old boy and wouldn't mind keeping a few bits of him around the place. I was thinking that a humanskin rug might look nice in the lounge room, or I could possibly use a skull for an ashtray. (I don't smoke, but I could always take it up.)...

Tannin (Shhhh.... I haven't told him yet.)

I just rang Tannin's normal place, Handy, and used my charm.

Great post, Paugie! Would you like to go into a little more detail for us now?

Our new 1D III.

It's all down to influence and who you know, Old and Grumpy One. Don't worry, I've sorted it. Should be here this week.

Problem solved. No need to worry about which camera to buy, Tannin, I've fixed it all up for you.

Bahhhh ... you are not doing anything right. Read about how to do it properly here

Is this thread free? Can anyone join?

Bingo! Well done, Stereodude. That's the site, I'm pretty sure. Unfortunately, he's toned it down quite a bit and sounds near-reasonable now. Perhaps I need to play with the go back machine.

Nope: it's not Gary. It's not Merc. [Edit] is his own person, with his own style. (And some useful things to say.) Welcome [Edit]. You are probably not as nutty as the rest of them here, but don't worry about it, we will talk with you anyway. Nice post.

Nothing here. Mostly because I can't rember where the best stats pages are. But if I could remember, I'd list them here so that even Tannin could find them. (If Tannin ever looked at them, which he doesn't.) (And if I could make sticky threads, which I can't.) (And if I was allowed to make...

Does anyone know where bloody Tannin put the colorimiter? I can't find it anywhere!

Does anyone remember a ripper thread based around a fruitcake of an audio engineer who, hand on heart, swore blind that you can hear the difference between tracks recorded on blank blue media vs blank silver media vs blank gold media? Different tonal quality and all that stuff? He was...

Errrr .... are you saying, onanistichoweveryouspellit, you are not plastered already?

Ignore him. He just likes pretending he can read.

Er..... but isn't that a Windows Update thing? WTF don't Microsoft just stick it in the Windows Update express list if it's so important?

And a nice bloke he is too

One of us was going to say "good luck to you, Merc, nice to see you make an easy dollar for a change" but then we got sidetracked by Tannin's big rant. Anyway, good luck to you, Merc, nice to see you make an easy dollar for a change.

Don't mind Tannin. I think you've hit his sore point.

Deaough ... and here was me thinking it was something that mattered and which, for some reason, I'd never heard of. Now I know why the initials are unfamiliar: they are (a) unimportant and not computer-related - I was imagining that it stood for Distributed SomeThing-or-other-nasty - (b)...

Hmmmm ... seems to me you have way too much money and not enough skill. But what would I know, I'm only an ape.

Bahhh..... Tannin does a poor job of using flash with any camera. His fancy SLRs help, and he went stupid and bought a twin head macro flash a while back, but so far as flash goes, he's a non-talent.

By the way, I've just been looking through the wrappers at the bottom of the chocolate camera box, and found one that I missed before. Lunar, would you like a chocolate EOS 1Ds IV? (It's gone a bit out of shape in the heat though. Should taste OK.)

Slacker! We want to see you try harder in futiure. Also, we have decided that because we have members from all around the world, in every time zone, you can no longer afford to sleep. But because I am such a nice person, I have decided to grant you a nice long vacation every year. This year...

Actually I feel a bit strange. Do you think I should have eaten all those flashlights?

Sorry Mubs.

The only sort of accident that our car has happens from above, Lunar. (Hint: it's white and comes out of birds' bottoms.)

Oh, I had to zoom out a bit to fit Tanin's avatar into the 80 x 80. Here it is zoomed in a bit more.

Apparently there is some no-account shop in the USA called Wal-Mart. At least I guess they are a no-account operation because their web site is downright phenomenally bad. I saw a link from the Inq and the result blew my mind. Absolutely, positively, definately should be viewed with Firefox. Or...

By the way, they are about the same size as I'll be when I'm fully grown. Or, if you haven't had the pleasure of meeting me in the flesh yet, about the same as a small human. Weigh the same as petite adult woman or quite a bit more than a big dog. So, yes, that's a bloody long way up!

I thought of running another little competition to see who could find it in this picture, but decided that this would be easier all around: See the little dark brown dot the arrow points to? That be the tree kangaroo. Climbs nearly as well as I do! Only not as pretty.

Sorry, Tannin. I forgot. Bozo, you are 100% correct.

Hmmm ....... For: Faster Against: Higher seek power Higher idle power 20GB smaller Seagate The seek power difference is trivial: OK, the batteries run down faster, but then you get more work done per unit of time. Scratch that one. The idle power difference is more of a worry...

Sol, that's a very S O'L suggestion: inventive, clever, and using as much expensive machinery as possible. It would also be a pretty fair pain in daily use, insofar as I'd have to keep shutting the laptop down and starting it up again all the time. (I usually run it 24 x 7, rebooting only...

Who? Me? Don't be ridicul..... Oh. I see. Sorry about that. I think I need something to calm me down. Is there any gin left?

What do I want a towel for?

The Green Tea, despite being named after me, is absolutely dreadful! (Tea! Mind your manners! Doug went to a lot of trouble on your behalf.) (Keep your fur on, old chap, I was just getting to that bit.) Not your fault, Doug, I hasten to add (and I was going to add even before Old Heavyhanded...

Cool!

Oh.... OK. But ...
