Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

The Digital Camera Resource Page is a good place to start.

Hmm - I think I was underestimating the price range of digital cameras. I was thinking the $30 range - I guess for that stick to old fashioned film based cameras; it seems like digital starts at $140. Don't know where I got the impression it could be cheaper.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

You can get a digital camera for as little as $US50 but the quality isn't that great.

This was taken on a Concord 2040, which I picked up for AUD69 (an appropriate price, considering the location of the pic :) [link]

Hey. New board.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So ... I have an AVI I can't play on the Mac. Does one download codecs, or a new player? How does one find out what codecs one might need?

Trust my rage

ita, I use this to watch .avi on my Mac. [link]

Will you look at that? I hadn't realised it was cross-platform.

Thanks!

Anyone know how to turn on the speaker phone feature on an LG VX6100?

(My boss is looking for a cell w/ a speaker phone. I have one, but have never used this feature and Googling for the manual online is giving me no love.)

[eta: Nevermind, found it]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just caught myself planning to stay two hours late on a Friday afternoon in order to buy Tiger the minute it's out, even though I don't have a machine to install it on (as my Mac belongs to work.)

I then caught myself thinking I could just buy a new Mac to go with it.

So who was it that figured out how to put crack in an OS, anyway?

Amych, I've been thinking along the exact same lines all week. Maybe I'll stop by Tekserve on my way home and spend thousands of dollars I don't have.
