SLR (single lens reflex) digital cameras are really starting to get popular.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish they'd get cheaper, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
le nubian, I got a rebuilt one installed for around $70. It's been working for four years now, so it was worthwhile.

Try looking for "refresh", Tommyrot.
Gah! That was the answer. I was looking in the wrong part of the help system, apparantly.

Thanks Daniel (and tommyrot). The addition to the dialing string seems to have done the trick. Whoot!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Help! I'm in the process of (trying) to create my first VCD with very little tech know-how, and having trouble even getting started.
So, the set-up is;
1) I have completed bit torrents embedded in Azureus.
2) I have downloaded TMPEnc for Avi --> MPEG conversion
3) Also downloaded the demo version of VCDEasy.
So, the first step seems to be to select the source file in TMPEnc wizard for conversion, but the thing is, the I don't have a separate free-standing avi-file--I can get at it only by opening Azureus and opening the completed file/folder/whatever. How do I export this file out of Azureus so that I could put it in the TMPEnc?
Another thing--I do have a free-standing avi-file at home, which I've tried to convert to MPEG last night, but the specification said the file would end up being 240% the size of the available 700 MB space on a CD. How do you tweak that so that you could get a reasonably-sized file?
You know, it'd be nice if some had done a step-by-step tutorial of the thing and put it on the web...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If someone has a very agressive popup-blocker, the Javascript "Alert()" function will still work, right?

I just got an e-mail telling me that my ebay account had been suspended.
And to go to http://cgii1ebay.com/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI/ddl/ to log in and update my eBay records, but it also says:
you are prohibited from using eBay in any way. This includes the update of your actual account.
So, anyway, not logging in there (although it didn't accept my fake password), seem to still be able to log into ebay proper -- the weird thing is, the neither the subject header nor the domain name turn up anything in google.
Domain registry is a bit of a giveaway, but still. Kinda spooky to get something phishy with no evidence already out there on the web.
