Thanks Tom - I've been delaying my upgrade for the same reason.

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

Anyone in the market for a good mirrorless interchangeable lens camera? The excellent Sony NEX-6 is on sale, as this model is being replaced with the new a6000 (which I just bought).

A Ridiculous Deal On The Mirrorless Camera For Everyone

eta: MIrrorless means it's like a DSLR but it lacks a moveable mirror that sends light to the viewfinder. As a result mirrorless cameras are much smaller than a DSLR. The NEX-6 has an LCD screen and an electronic viewfinder.

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

I thought it looked neat, until I noticed how all the pictures and videos of it working are close-ups with the top of the pen out of frame. I have the sneaky suspicion that you have to manually push the plastic dowel through pen with your other hand. It's kind of a glorified glue gun.

Isn't it just the 3Doodler, but a little smaller?

All is well that ends in pizza.

If anyone runs into a working motherboard for a Dell Inspiron 1545 for under $20 let me know. I'm randomly checking eBay and Craigslist, but you never know.

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

I gave my sister my Galaxy Nexus phone that I bought internationally, and it won't recognise a Jamaican SIM. I bought it internationally because of the lock question--what could be stopping it? Would the fact that she used the SIM in an old style Blackberry be relevant?

I am thinking this is something she needs to chase down in JA, though. It shouldn't be a phone problem...

(Her BB connects to TMobile (my provider) seamlessly when she's here. I don't know.)

Hey. New board.

Near as I can tell, there's no reason it shouldn't work. My guess is it's something with the SIM, not the phone.
