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.

T-Mobile is opening a new store in my neighborhood. In honor of this, they have informed me that I am pre-approved for a new phone plan, which comes with a free, $70 Samsung flip-phone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom, there are a million things to learn before that need come in useful. Are you camera-shopping?

Wish I could help you Tom, but I still use a completely manual film camera!
I was thinking of converting to digital and borrowed my housemate's digital point and shoot for my trip down the coast. Since the battery died after just a few pictures, it only made me appreciate my old camera more.

Don't know. Don't think so.
It has a color screen.
And does Instant Messaging from all the most popular services.
It does speed dial....
