    Thoughts on gf's studio/photo business website? Update 1

    Hello, here are my thoughts on her web site. First and foremost, it's not yet ready to go live and be the online face of her business. The slow loading issue alone is losing her business. It should be addressed and properly tested before going live. Regarding the design, the extensive...

    Why do DSLRs have mechanical shutters?

    Interesting discussion. Some thoughts from a professional photographer. Just to clarify: in an slr camera, light is not *diverted* to the ccd. During composition, light from the lens is diverted via the mirror and pentaprism to the viewfinder. When the exposure is made, the mirror is raised...

    Critique My Photography

    Beating the speed of light with a stick

    My brother and I were talking about the vast distances traveled by light from stars, and the possibilities for communication over these distances. Then he said something like, "I can beat the speed of light" and proposed that, while light takes years to travel from the nearest star to Earth, a...

    How to change the fan in a La Cie Brick external HD?

    Router burliness required for busy home network?

    This is a new setup. We are merging two households under one roof. We're not launching missiles or tracking satellites or anything like that, but we do love our internet, and when things slow down people get downright irritable. The D-Link I currently use in my house reboots itself when it...

    Router burliness required for busy home network?

    Cable, 6Mb down/1Mb up. No P2P programs. At some point between 7 and 10pm on a weeknight, it's not unlikely that all of the connections I mentioned could be active at once, so... the number of simultaneous connections could peak at 12. The probability goes up on the weekends.

    Router burliness required for busy home network?

    Are 3 desktop PCs, 3 notebooks, 2 Tivos, 2 voip phones, and a game console (plus my phone if I'm on the john and just have to have my Champions League football highlights right now) all using the network at the same time considered a heavy load for a consumer grade router? Is there a particular...

    Internet Connection Sharing woes

    It's a PCMCIA card that gives my laptop access to Verizon's EV-DO network. I get 1Mb down/100Kb up from my 4Runner/job site/toilet. It is very cool. There is no cell phone involved. Below is the most relevant part of the Acceptable Use Policy I could find: What would you say...

    extreme gaming laptop powerhorses

    Second the vote for Sager. They and the others are all born CLEVO in Taiwan, but with Sager you don't pay for the custom paint job (unless you want one) or silly case design. They make a rock solid, stupid fast DTR/gaming notebook, although if you do a ton of gaming you're more likely to...

    Internet Connection Sharing woes

    It is so frustrating how you'll get something to work, you change NOTHING, and suddenly it stops working. :confused: At first I tried it over an ad hoc wifi connection between the two computers. Worked great for like two days. Then that started to fail: the guest laptop's Local Area...

    What's the fastest mile you've ever run?

    After basketball season ended a teammate and I went out for our first year on the track team. We thought we were teh sh!t - our hoops training was grueling, but it's not the same as running in a straight line. I ran a 6:30 mile, after which we both dropped to all fours and puked ourselves...

    Schedule Internet On/Off to block kids

    Maybe there's a way to send a reset command to the router just before the port filter activates? That should break all existing connections, and the router will power up with the filter rules in place for anything new. You could even do it from outside the LAN.

    **Opinions/Help**

    Mine randomly and repeatedly resets itself about once every two weeks. This lasts about 1-5 minutes, rebooting every 10-15 seconds. It's wonderful. It also has great range (60% signal from upstairs, 30% signal 100 yards away through two other condos) and not bad speeds (averages 15 Mbps LAN...

    Combining Ethernet and wireless connections

    Pouring ice

    So I'm the last person in the world to experience this. Awesome. Anyone know how cold the water can get without freezing? And by the way, how come the water in the bottle didn't freeze when I opened it? About four or five seconds passed between opening it and pouring it.

    Pouring ice

    I left a one gallon plastic bottle of water in the freezer for about four hours. When I took it out it was still liquid, but as I poured it into a glass pitcher it instantly froze, or almost. Made me do a double take. It was coming out of the plastic bottle as liquid, but I'd say 95% of what...

    Jumping

    I don't have the expertise in biomechanics to quantify that, but I wouldn't assume that a running jump will get you more height than a standing one. Are you sure that that is the case? If you're talking about getting closer to the rim, jumping off of one foot gives you a reach advantage, so...

    Jumping

    In the long jump and high jump, the training emphasis is on speed and technique, not "jumping" per se. Since vertically launching yourself into the air requires the most physical effort (working against gravity and all), jumpers are trained to use that forward momentum to their advantage and...

    Troubleshooting laptop NIC

    Biological inhibitors for typing rates

    I don't know anything about biology, but I can type 100+ wpm. I used to be the Desktop Publishing manager at Kinko's, and my partner used to pass gas all the time. Whenever this happened, I could easily sustain a burst of 120-130 for a couple of minutes so I could finish what I was doing and...

    Can't change default application for .tif files to Photoshop

    It was set to "ACDSee", but when I tried to change it to Photoshop it instead changed to "Microsoft Office Document Imaging File". I can change it to other applications, but when I select Photoshop it goes back to M.O.D.I.F. What's keeping it from changing?

    Photoshop keeps getting fatter and fatter.

    I have the same complaint with PS CS/2 as I do with Windows: Don't show me the UI until it's finished loading.

    Printing 5x7 on HP officejet 6110 all-in-one

    Hehehe, thanks for the help. My problem isn't that I can't produce a 5x7 print. I'm just wondering why, if HP sells 5x7 paper, their printer driver doesn't offer that option. There is every other bizarre format like "DL Envelope, 220x110 mm" and "Hagaki Card, 100x148 mm". I went with "Index...

    Printing 5x7 on HP officejet 6110 all-in-one

    In the printer preferences dialog there is no 5x7 inch paper option. There is a "User defined paper size" option but nowhere to define that paper size. The tech on HP live chat says "Use the HP Director software". In that app, you can say you want a 5x7 print but the paper size options are...

    21.3" LCD display flickering

    21.3" LCD display flickering

    Hello, I'm using my Samsung 213T as a second display on my laptop for the first time and I've encountered an annoying flicker. After a day of troubleshooting I've discovered that it is exacerbated when mid-tone grays dominate the screen. It gets pretty bad if I set the desktop color to the...
