Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

You're going to need a card, whether or not you buy a card reader.

Also, it's entirely possible your Mom's computer already has a card reader built in.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I really think it comes with a card too! But I have ordered a card, a card reader AND a cord all for about $25.00 and have had it shipped to her. I should have opened the box and figured it out first, because trying to do this from a distance is difficult.

Also, any ideas on why my mom's printer isn't printing. She says it isn't the ink, but the paper goes through and nothing prints out.

[link] suggests it does not come with either a card or a USB cable, which is odd.

[link] claims that the USB port is a "Hi-Speed USB (Dedicated connector female) with unified type of digital, audio and video)" so I wouldn't be completely sure this is a standard USB connector.

I'm trying to find somewhere that says definitively one way or the other.

eta that Sophia did exactly the right thing with that order.

This says it's mini-USB.

It sure does. They must be throwing some extra pins in the for the AV cable.

This camera is sold without a memory card but requires one for use. How lame.

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

This camera is sold without a memory card but requires one for use. How lame.

I just bought a Sony NEX-5 camera. (It's a mirrorless camera similar to a micro four-thirds camera.) It did not come with a memory card (it needs a high-speed card) but did come with a USB cable.

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

I have an XSLT question. I still only have a general understanding how XSL works, so I think I'm missing something obvious.

Here's a cut-down sample of the XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CatalogVendorItems count="10892558" offset="0" limit="100">
  <CatalogVendorItem>
    <catalogVendorItemID>4972042</catalogVendorItemID>
    <vendorNumber>AB0001</vendorNumber>
    <description>Fox Racing Demo Short: Black; SM (32" Waist Size)</description>
    <category>Shorts/Bib Shorts</category>
    <CatalogVendor>
      <catalogVendorID>1</catalogVendorID>
      <name>Quality Bicycle Products</name>
      <lastUpdate>2013-12-22T02:31:11-08:00</lastUpdate>
    </CatalogVendor>
  </CatalogVendorItem>

What I need is an XSLT transformation that will return all the children of CatalogVendorItem but not children below that (i.e. catalogVendorID, name, lastUpdate.

I know I could just specify every element I want returned, but there are actually a lot more children of CatalogVendorItem than I copied here. I was hoping for something more generic where I wouldn't have to put every tag I want in the XSLT document.

Ah, I figured it out. I have to use <xsl:copy>. And then exclude the stuff I don't want.

Although this solution isn't completely generic.

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

I just bought a Sony NEX-5 camera. (It's a mirrorless camera similar to a micro four-thirds camera.)

OK, it's been awhile since I've looked at a camera and wanted to buy it. That. Got the camera juices forming. I love SLR control, but didn't want SLR heft/cost in digital.

Can't afford it. But, good to know of the evolution.
