That's why I recommended the Olympus Camedia C5000 at 5MP is about the same as the grain density of iso 100/125 film. while not a SLR it does allow some add-on lenses, a hot-shoe for an 'intelligent flash, and based on or olypus cameras I have used incrdible pictures, (better than any SLR you can ge...

The good news (for me) was the part on Washington state canceling, and recieving a partial refund on the one contract they did outsource. Like most states we are in a severe budget crunch, but given the number of unemployed,underemployed programmers in (who are getting up to $32k a year in state une...

sadly, only 35% of eligible voters (?) vote even in the biggest elections, and less than 20% in some minor ones, yet 99% complain bitterly about the results! voting (hopefully being an informed voter) is the ONLY constitutional obligation imposed of the citizens,and among your most valuable rights. ...

all electronics work better, and last longer at lower temps. While modern processors can survive 75ºC for a while they're much happier below 40ºC since tempature rise can be nearly instant (in human terms 1-4 seconds is too fast to deal with) having as much 'cushion' as possible seems the best idea....

This has to be one of the worst ideas ever/yet. now we have a confusing number, which demands you whip out your magic decoder ring to determine what you are buying, and what you need to go with it. and if the number is somehow actually related to performance does that mean a 580 on a 478 beats a 560...
