Wacky. Hmmm. I was using the beta versions, I wonder if mine is a mix, somehow.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Question for those of you using Thunderbird.
Is there any way I can change the settings so that when composing e-mail responses, my text is above the original sender's? I hate that the default has me answering below the original e-mail text. Thanks!
Never mind. Figured it out!

what is the file suffix ".flac"? it's a sound that plays fine, but how/do I need to convert it to an mp3?

Vortex, here's the wikipedia entry on the Free Lossless Audio Codec (.flac) and it lists a bunch of compatible software, I'm sure on of them can convert to .mp3 if you need.

Vortex, Mac or PC?
Here are a couple of ways of doing it, although there may be other conversions out there.

Coding and Sleeping
Anyone use Firefox 3 and Vista? I use Firefox 3 at home with Ubuntu and XP and it works perfectly. At work with Vista, it is a crashfest, even with all add-ins and themes removed. I'm lucky if I can make 6 clicks without Firefox crashing. Ironically, the crash reporting tool also errors out. I've reverted to Firefox 2 since it is a rock of stability.

I'm trying to learn more about photography. People tell me I have a knack for it, but I feel extremely ignorant about most aspects of it.
It doesn't help, though, that photographers measure things in different units than everyone else does.
I was looking at a camera, that said it had a sensor size of 1/1.7". WTF is that supposed to mean? I found this page, which is the only thing that was even remotely coherent, and I still don't have a clue. It's very frustrating.

I don't really know a lot about digital photography myself, Scola, but I know (as the page says) that sensor size relates to how the camera captures the image. In digital cameras, the film is replaced by a chip and sensor that captures the image exposed through the shutter.
I don't know how sensor size relates to all that, other than presumably a larger sensor captures more luminance (light/brightness) data, if nothing else. I would bet that sensor size doesn't have too much effect on how much chrominance (color) data the sensor captures.

I just want to know how big the damn sensor is.
