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

Entirely unrelated, anyone have right-now camera answers? I have a D50 and I'm trying to work out if my lenses will work on a D3200 (Zulily, fuck you). It seems my AF-S lens will be just fine ( [link] but my 75-240 seems to be an AF, which means the new computer won't autofocus.

Anyone familiar with manually focusing on a Nikon? My Pentax had the split image, and especially with lack of depth of field preview, I feel like I'll mess stuff up just eyeballing it. has anyone made that transition easily.

Thankfully I'd keep automatic metering.

If I need to replace the zoom, the discount is less use. My 28-80 and 18-55 clearly won't cover it.

My current DSLR isn't broken--I was going to give it to my sister, as these things sometime happen. But not if it's a dumb deal for me...

What am I failing to consider in this shopping? The sale ends Tues 6AM PDT, see.

Someone's written an AppleScript for it:

You could also create an unread messages smart mailbox.

Thanks, Rob. That's more complicated than it seems it should be, but then again, maybe I'm not supposed to be managing that many mailboxes.

I've created two smart mailboxes, since I can't remember how many rules I have that might move mail out of the inbox but still need to read it--one works by inclusion (all unread in the Inbox hierarchy) and one by exclusion (unread but not in Spam--but I have over 15 of those, so...).

Do any of the Mac Heads know if it's at all possible to get a replacement for the light-grey plastic/resin bezel that edges the split between the top half and bottom half of my Macbook Pro case?

The bezel has broken right above the combo drive slot, near the trac-pad. this has left it with a sharp, pokey edge that pokes into the palm of my hand or into my forearm when I'm trying to use my computer now, making it distracting and unpleasant.

The broken strip also doesn't want to reseat quite properly so I don't think just a dab of crazy glue will do the trick.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is your battery inside of the Mac bulging?

I had to pull it out to check, but no.

Does that mean your battery is gonna blow? Because I noticed a crack in the battery casing of my netbook and I was undecided on whether it was bulging too. ETA: Not a mac, obvs.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

for those geeky enough to own the HUE light from Phillips. Big software update for the iOS devices. Geofencing abilities now. Timers that you don't have to reset every day. And you can link to iftt (if this than that) website to make scripts with out needing a local computer running all the time. Fun!
