Couldn't you just run HDMI to the TV and then digital audio from the TV to the receiver?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, that's what I suspect we'll end up doing.

Do they last long enough that if you're taking, say, fifty or so pictures with flash all day, they'll be okay?

absolutely!

Hey. New board.

Wow. My receiver mentioned earlier already shipped. Nice.

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

Want. Although something tells me it won't be available in the US.

Maybe it will be sold here, though each box will include a lawsuit from MPAA.

My favorite comment on that Dune review:

Total lack of Sting means I will not purchase this device.

Our wings are not tired.

PC, I have the Canon SD750 as my second camera (first is a Nikon D40x) and it's been fantastic. A charged battery lasts for hundreds of photos; I've never had a problem with it. I would never go back to AAs.

Some examples of the picture quality can be found here.

I have a question for the technology side of the hivemind, please. If you were planning on donating technical expertise (coding, database development, etc.) to an allegedly good cause, where would you go? My organization will be launching something that will include a lot of open source development, and we'll be putting together a sign-up webpage for them. It would be great if I could see a few examples of good ones to get a feel for how they're organized. As I'm not a seriously techie person, I'm sure there are options and issues that I wouldn't even think of. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Cool! I think sticking with Canon would be nice since I'm used to the design and the interface. I think I'm drawn to the SD890 because of the 5x zoom. The SD750 (or SD770, which is the newer model) is cheaper, but it only has 3x zoom. Zoom is good for concerts and cons (so you can actually see the panelists!). I'm just wondering what the downside is and how good the low-light pictures really are for the SD890; I'm seeing conflicting reports. The SD880 has a lot more positive reviews (or DOES it?), but it's more expensive and only 4x zoom.

A charged battery lasts for hundreds of photos; I've never had a problem with it. I would never go back to AAs.

Awesome! So I guess you just have to fully charge it before you know you'll be taking a lot of pictures, and you're fine?
