Oh please, 3yr old specs @~$3/GB...freakin write performance is *slower* than modern fast 5.4k HDD (sans one filled to capacity), absurdly expensive for the performance...get a 7.2k HDD, tons more capacity for that $$$. Would have been good price *if* @$1/GB 100GB min...then I'll be interested...

by that logic, might as well get the 550d instead. Fairly large diff btw 7d & Mk IV. MkIV & sMkIV are complimentary products in Canon's line, 7d is just a higher end XXD series...if u got the coin, get the MkIV & sMkIV...& make sure U have enough leftover to buy all the new improved models of...

Migratory birds in flight r purdy...better still in motion & sound. Sell the still camera and get a higher-end consumer camcorder...plenty of reach with that....unless u get the new sony HDR-CX550V, - Google Search w/only 28-280mm equiv. lens. 28mm is good for indoors, I don't need much reach.

Ok, I'm login out of Chat :D... laters

It's a franchise, just like Bond, or... Batman :p...some actors are better than others, but it always changes....not dependent on any one actor/actress really....hell, at least Cruise does almost all of his stunts, what other multimillionaire actor does (Jackie Chan doesn't count, he's not a...

^Sandy Bridge "tock"? 1Q2011, integrated GPU, rumored to be noticeably faster. Wait until ~2012 and get the next 'tick' in Ivy Bridge @22nm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Sandy_Bridge_(microarchitecture) http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3763&p=3 ^Intel RM chart, but...

If it hasn't already happened, I think the Arab oil states & China will own most of the USA within a decade or so. Think jtr is going to have to find a way to save up enough to make a short trip to China if he ever wants to indulge in his train tech passion...

multitasking is supposedly coming to iPhone 4.0 software update this summer...now where is that built in camera for vid conferencing :D http://brainstormtech.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2010/03/12/apple-overtakes-wal-mart/ ^iPad selling like hot cakes today, Exxon & M$ will go down, soon :p I...

:( :viking: ^think I sed that b4 :D. Honestly, in spite of wat Santi sez about Apple *ions* ago, prices for SSD's are not dropping very fast. U can get a WD Caviar Black HDD for $100...a whole friggin 1TB. <edit...I meant 1.5TB> Wat can u get 4 $100 SSD now? Friggin 32GB? Way 2 expensive...

Handy needs to setup a Chat forum so we can go @it faster :D

^RC forums doesn't work 4 U, or U haven't explored it enough?

UAV??? Won't a good OIS in a high-end consumer HD camcorder be sufficient/better? What is FPV (explanation, not what the letters/words stand 4) What was wrong with the vids' I linked in the DSLR thread?

epic fail...the correct answer is: Is your daughter 18? :rofl:

^That would need more explaining in another post :D http://www.h-online.com/security/features/USB-stick-with-hardware-AES-encryption-has-been-cracked-746215.html...

potential bad news 4 u :D. Since the ipod/iphone/itouch now comprise nearly 1/2 of all Apple revenues, with a massive $48Bil war chest, Apple can spend ad nauseum on litigation :p. Must be goods news as Apple's stock is currently at an all time high. If you had bought just over a year ago when...

Uh, probably shouldn't post when UR completely inebriated (high) :bstd:...you make slightly more sense when ur sober... just sayin :D

Hey, it only took Canon 1 1/2yr after it's lanch, to get the video firmware right on the 5dMkII just this week, what do you expect :reindeer: Just use the new Canon 70-200L with improved IS, tele converter, then u don't need a tripod :D. ^hmm, perhaps Mubs has something to the contention that...

And mine would be.... get a Mac :D more durable than the magnesium or titanium bodies, the solid/robust/stiffer unibody aluminum frame design of the current MBP has been patented :D...just wait for the patent infringement lawsuits :) Exactly, I don't even like the tactile feel of all the...

dr-oogle.com Anyone use it b4? Comments on it, or other ways to find a good dentist (other than peer recommendation)? Any better than epinions? https://www.dr-oogle.com/

So U don't use Gmail anymore? How does Google apps *replace* email?

3. Well, as I tell LM...Google is ur friend, roadmaps are pretty easy to come up with, fairly fast...least U want someone to spoon feed U :). 2. Passmark, kind of like Eugene and I-O-meter...synthetic 'pretend' real world metrics are just that. 1. Bingo, this is both dd's & LM's standard...

Uh, so how much experience do U have with W7 64bit? If U do a Google search on RAM usage for W7 64bit you'll typically see a rec for 4GB RAM, as the minimum is almost always just barely enough...same for any OS really...

So I was watching MostlyLisa's vid of the train ride on the Alberta to Whistler section...she's in luv apparently :p, then I notice her 3hrs ago Twitter post...Canon fanboi, geekgrrl come true Lisa strikes again "now that is sexy" :) ...on the 4/3rds only @present> Nokto F0.95...

1946 BW vs British location/actors 1978 colour :p. After a while see the '78 version, next year or so, just a different 'vibe' about that one...you won't like it as much, but still good to watch on a rainy day :p. Different feel, I liked the '46 version better, both based on Raymond Chandler...

huh?

Orig or remake w/Bob Mitchum? Orig w/Ms Becall, intelligent, sassy, innuendo dialog...no actual sex. But the brunette in the bookstore, yeah baby...seriously, Y don't they all act like that to me...ah, the Boggy charisma, darn. And Ms Becall doing that scratch under the tip of her skirt...just...

Like M$sloth, Adobe Flash; I consider telco's 3vil, they need to burn in hell :D \\\ I agree w/this old '08 article, seems not much as changed...of course they provide no alternative solution, bcuz there is none...on a 2yr contract you'd end up paying more for internet access than you would for...

http://ninofilm.net/blog/2010/02/23/canon-550d-review/ ^rolling shutter issues look pretty bad. I disagree with the Canon fanboi stuff about giving the masses movie capability...now where is the *real* game changer, not the 7D in a 550D body, I'm talking full-frame 5d in a <$1k 600D body...

Y SD even bothers? Too little(size & performance), too late, too expensive http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/02/23/sandisk.g3.helps.ssds.go.mainstream/

Pretty sure the software in question must be updated to use gpu accel, no way I could think of you'd be able to have a 'general' implementation by 3rd party software. Perhaps contact the sim creator to see if there's an update...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ3FyFFDDiY ^how to get laid by John Mayer, pretty funny parody....and Obama Grrrl (Amber Lee Ettinger) looks much cuter in this vid than she did in Obama...weird :p. :rotfl: what's really funny his how dumb these women have to be to fall for such a Lothario...

Why this is even worse than Sony, Merc's gonna go insane, jihad @Apple: http://www.macnn.com/articles/10/02/22/innocuous.apps.may.be.caught.in.crossfire/ How is it that Al Gore could be comfortable with this, he's on the board...then again with that frigid thing he calls a wife, Tipper...

http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1221/13/ gotta get a PCI-E card to use one of them @SATA 6Gbs, one that boots :( Well, guess we'll have to wait for anad to test the shipping model firmware to see if they find the same flaw. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1222/14/ ^That really blows...

Beast? w/o any detailed spec's on said 'mystery' system, of what use is this thread/post to others who don't follow your every move? Is that a Mac Mini ur reporting details on, using newly updated Bootcamp for Winblows 7? Monitor/resolutions?

Crucial supposedly puts the c300 on sale tomorrow @similar pricing/capacities, it's faster still w/SATA 6Gbs, so why bother with the others? @SD^ et al>Everything U need to know can be found in the recent posts in SSD thread here. runcore is/will be using the SF controller, guess someone forgot...

DHID ballasts? Wondering what jtr has to say about the contentions that digitally regulated HID ballasts are a more cost effective alternative, with 'equal' useful life, to LED distance/area lighting. Claims of higher illumination @distance, lay persons terminology of 'greater penetration'...

Yeah, but 99% r Twitteriffic™...that's wat counts! U'll b a Fixture in <80posts :D

Not 4 sale yet, but soon...fastest I know of...but then again, if it's a "special" app, as in mil spec or some other rigorous requirement then you'll look at 'industrial' suppliers wares. Check here: http://www.storagesearch.com/foremay.html ...but if U want faster in the 2.5in form factor...

OCZ Vertex 2 Pro...Sandforce controller, just like the Runcore...but Is everyone who uses laptops going to now upgrade to a SATA 6Gbps model...whenever those ship (only seen USB3.0 on some new Dell or was it HP?) ...just to use Crucial C300 SSD? Supposed to ship/go on sale next week (less...

Yes...do U really need SLC? MLC cost less, SLC cost a fortune if it's not for business. If business then maybe you need PCI-Express SSD, much higher bandwidth & IOPS

Los Angeles has yet another budget crisis, even the formerly unheard of 'safe 4 life' government jobs are up for cutting. Popular Democratic/Liberal mayor is now doing the Republicans dirty work, laying of 1k city workers :D. Just this week, the local school board pres, wants the city council...

Canon vs Nikon argument jtr, you'll never win :D. 'these parts' only include your neighborhood I suppose, the rest of Long Island doesnt' count :p. So, you take the subway to the Hamptons? In LA, and I'll bet my life, most of NY area, cars are much better transportation, comfort-wise compared...

It's also amazing how poor the service is with some of those cut-rate auto insurers. What's ur deductible ? In Calif. U can get minimal insurance, but if you don't have other insurance, like med expenses...who's going to pay for the risk of a huge hospital bill, should either of you be hit head...

And it almost all depends on your financial reserves...or perspective. I'd hate living in NYC, even if I was filthy rich and could afford the best of everything. However, if I had to work there, and was being paid enough i could save to move to the West coast or someplace better (preferably a...

Pretty sure the R2D2 Rebel (or wtf # it is now) + lens is going to weigh more than most consumer camcorders. So, (too lazy to search to see if posted already) some HD camcorder vids from RC flights :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEWKnCcNTkM ^1080p mode can be selected for viewing. IIRC...

Hmm, think MB was referring to mode spec, and I'm guessing you have older OM1, which seems will be a problem to get higher speeds than 100Mbs with a longer cable run like 1300m :(. I know nothing other than a quick Google :): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber This...
