    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    Oops, yes thanks. Ralph embodies the non-sequitur though I'm not sure if returning to a topic within the same thread really counts as non-sequitur. Don't we only have about 6 threads around here. :P

    I pulled the left groin about two weeks ago and then last weekend after the final USA World Cup loss I reinjured the groin and pulled my right hamstring in a pickup soccer game. It probably would have just been a minor injury but I kept playing on it and hobbling around the field albeit at 1/4...

    Do you think you might have gotten a little stronger to compensate and that's why your numbers are back up? Although I'm not in immediate need, my main concern/thought was about the difference in stopping distance. The first time I fractured my ribs 10 years ago it was a bike accident. This...

    What changed? Were the tires slower before OR was it harder to stop? Softer or harder.

    Good for you! It could be the seat but most likely just lack of saddle time. I'm currently mostly recovered from some fractured ribs from 3 weeks ago. I've recently pulled a couple of leg muscles badly enough to cause severe bruising. Keep up a regular schedule and it'll be easy soon.

    After a week they will either be spoiled or not spoiled I don't want to know what they would have to do to them to get them to last longer than a week. Nor would I want to ingest it.

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    I thought it was interesting when it came out; I think I played the demo. According to Wiki, GF did not use the SCUMM engine but used the GrimE engine instead. Bummer.

    Becoming a well rounded human being is pretty easy to accomplish without paying thousands to do it. Besides, I'd rather see classes that can get engineers to not act like robots. ;)

    I was thinking about that too but if they all had covers on them to disguise them as 3GS then there's your answer. Quite an oversight either way.

    iPhone syndrome

    The iPhone requires you push one of the mechanical buttons (front or top) to wake the phone and then you have to swipe to reveal the home screen. If you have the phone pin-locked you have to enter the pin after the swipe. Then you have to open the phone application and enter a number or select...

    So it would be acceptable for some grown up with 1/2 or 1/4 of her experience to attempt it? What experiences should she have been protected from? While it is true that the critical question is whether or not she has the capability to make appropriate decisions this is not a question of age...

    So you would be ok with it if she did it many years from now? I think its awesome. Like David said, "there is a reason we keep doing these things, and it isn't because it is perfectly safe." Taking risks is what life is all about.

    The same issues as on windows boxes. If you have runaway logs it can fill up the drive and cause the OS to crash. User data similarly.

    windows security logging

    I can not figure out how to implement David's suggestion with the 2003 native tools. Only various ways to guide overwriting seem to exist. BBB, unless I'm missing something your process seems very manual. It does solve the file size problem however.

    Fast Wiping

    I'm going to assume you don't need a security wipe. Does the camera not have a 'quick' format option? If you drop them into a computer and quick format them there then the in-camera format is not likely to take as long. Theoretically.
