  1. Free copy of Adobe CS2 on Adobe website

    There's a few features missing compared to newer versions (all the content-aware tools, for example, Camera Raw is way out of date, and there's no Lightroom), and it's a little dated in that there's no x64 support, or even x86 support for OS X, but otherwise it's still a fairly powerful suite...
  2. Bieber had a chance to show some class...

    More than that, at least. I got a scholarship from the city I lived in when I was 19, was presented by the mayor. If I could get my ass in a suit for that, he certainly could find something better than a white tee-shirt for the prime minister.
  3. Which Star Trek do you consider best?

    DS9 was the better TV show, IMO, but TNG was the best Star Trek.
  4. Vishera Review Up - Anandtech

    Overall, better than I'd hoped for. Not staggeringly good, but a solid step forward, and enough to claim a solid niche. The projections are interesting, too, even if I don't trust either figure a lot. The price is pretty good as well - I might seriously look at an 8350 to replace my X6 as a...
  5. 2016: Romney's America

    The cynic is me would like to point out that Romeny will likely have little impact on that.
  6. Best DSLR $1000USD or Thereabouts

    Does she want a camera to take pretty pictures, or does she want to get into photography and needs a serious tool? You could spend $1000 going either direction, but you'd end up in pretty different places.
  7. Is 48Khz "sufficient" for audio?

    Are you thinking 192kbps? That certainly makes a difference over lower bitrates - not one that every person will be able to hear or care about, but certainly one that can be noticed under the right conditions. A 192kHz sampling rate with any kind of remotely decent sampling is way, way...
  8. Wait a second.....

    Yeah, people have been adding grain to photos, including a lot of 'glamour' photos, for about as long as there was grain to add, and far before it was noise.
  9. Have you worked harder then the POTUS?

    I think there's a distinction between "career politician" and "PotUS" that needs to recognized. Some politicians really do have it pretty slack, but those aren't the ones that end up as President. I'm guessing you could count on your fingers the number of people with a more stressful job than...
  10. Pink eye, burning piss, random joint pain..

    Don't screw around with seeing a doctor? The burning piss and general shitiness sound like a UTI to me. If it were just the former, tons of water, cranberry juice, and pissing like a firehose would be the way to go, but at this point, get yourself to a doctor as soon as you can. You don't want...
  11. PSA: cook your food, several people sick in canada

    On a slightly different note, the timing on this couldn't be more ironic. Avoid raw Canadian meat, indeed.
  12. USPS marked item as delivered

    /facepalm There's probably some bigger boxes there, bigger than they typical mailbox, yes? The key will be to one of those (the ones here have tags with the matching box number). Your package will be in there.
  13. Are DX lenses and sensors good enough to take on FX cameras?

    I'd put it closer to half a stop. Comparing the two, the 5D Mk II seems to still hold a slight edge when it comes to fine, bright details (like the feathers), but the D7000 at 1600 is doing noticeably better than the 5D Mk II at 3200 in the shadows (the thread spools) - the Canon is a little...
  14. Are DX lenses and sensors good enough to take on FX cameras?

    Depends what you're doing. That 16MP Sony sensor (it's in quite a few DSLRs now, not just the D7000) is pretty remarkable, and it can mostly keep up with the 5D mkII - at low ISO and 100% crops, you can notice the resolution deficient, but as ISO climbs it gets closer. You can check out the...
  15. Can/does Exif data show the lens used?

    Just to add a little weirdness to the OPs question: apparently, some lenses lie.
  16. Legitimate rape victims don't get pregnant

    As a matter of fact, it does. High levels of stress can trigger ovulation in women (and I shouldn't have to point out that rape would cause higher levels of stress), which leads to rape having a slightly higher chance of leading to pregnancy than regular intercourse.
  17. Do you leave your curtains/blinds open or closed?

    First floor apartment here, too, and my windows face out to moderately busy street. There's evergreens and some other leafy things kind of in front of my windows, and the building is set reasonably far back, so I'll usually leave the blinds closed but with the slats partly open to let more light...
  18. RKOI: Rich Kids of Instagram (AKA the children of the 1%)

    Rich or not, they still can't take a damn photo.
  19. Time To Switch Brands?

    They're actually a pretty strong brand in Canada - for some reason, there's Pentax Canada that actually does a decent job of advertising, and Pentax Ricoh Imaging Company of the Americas, which seems to do roughly zilch. Anyways, between seeing how the K-5 compared to the D4 and 5D mk III...
  20. Time To Switch Brands?

    This is my primary concern - Ricoh (their current owner) seems a lot more serious about things than Hoya ever did, but the Pentax name has bounced around a lot lately and they don't have the market or mindshare the big two have. The used lens issue isn't a major concern for me. Used exotic...
  21. Your Favorite Graphics Card of All Time

    9800Pro AIW, excellent card and the tuner was just the gravy on top. Ran crazy hot, though.
  22. Time To Switch Brands?

    Having handled both, I prefer the K-5 to the K-30 - the lack of a top LCD is a bit of a deal breaker for me. As for cost, that's what I'll own in a couple months. I do have a pile of Pentax gear at the moment, but other than the flash and the 10-20mm, everything listed above would be a new (or...
  23. First Camera Advice

    It'll work just fine. I'm not entirely sold on m4/3, but for $300 you can't really argue - the E-PL1 is phenomenal value right now.
  24. Time To Switch Brands?

    I've been considering some upgrades to my current kit over the next month or two, and selling off other parts to fund that. Ultimately, I realized the only meaningful thing that would make it through unscathed would be a Sigma 10-20mm lens. This seems like a rare chance to switch things up...
  25. Canon NB-4L backup battery

    If you want first-party ones, KEH has ones in EX condition for ~$15, and my faith in KEH is second only to B&H and Adorama for photostuffs. Probably not worth triple the price of 3rd party though, unless you really really want the authentic Canon version anyways.
  26. Auto focus in wide angle lenses

    It kind of depends what you're trying to shoot - it could be somewhat helpful, or utterly useless. I've done landscapes where it was so dark I couldn't see anything through the viewfinder at all (and AF was a complete lost cause). Focusing to infinity worked fine - in fact, a proper infinity...
  27. Looking for something different. DSLRs feel a bit bland. Any ideas?

    Have you shot a rangefinder before? If not, why not grab something a little cheaper than a Leica, a half dozen rolls of film, and see how you like it before spending serious cash. For that matter, why not do that anyways? You could also try medium format - my first thought was a 645 SLR, but...
  28. Car that runs on water invented.

    If this were real, the headline wouldn't be "Car Runs On Water", it would be "Entropy Defeated; All Physics Utterly Broken" While that would be pretty neat, I'm not holding my breath.
  29. Digicam battery power: NiMH vs Lithium

    I have a Pentax K100D Super (4xAA) and K10D (Li-Ion) - I've had a number of other cameras that used both AAs and proprietary Li-ion batteries, but I currently own those two, and they are probably as closely comparable as any, so that's mostly what I'll base my comparisons on. AAs are fiddly...
  30. your dream zoom range for a walkaround lense

    Very roughly, 16-120mm f/2.8-4 - 7.5x zoom is entirely reasonable, and I'd imagine such a lens would be within reason for cost, weight, and size as well. Really, I could live with a constant f/4, and even, say, 17-100mm, though I wouldn't pay as much for it. Alternatively, 16-40mm f/2.
  31. Please suggest compact/P&S

    The super-slow-motion is on Casio, not Canon, cameras. I haven't played with one myself, but I've seen some of the footage, and it's pretty neat. If you don't have a use for it, though, I could see it quickly becoming just a neat party trick. I'd second the suggestion of Canon and Panasonic...
  32. Fox news has been banned from Canada

    Have you guys seen Canadian news? Every time I stumble across an American news show, I think I've hit some horrible reality circus show or something for a couple seconds. News up here is so much more staid, US stuff wierds me out.
  33. Dying for an Android phone with a REALLY good camera (think 808...)

    I've been looking for this for ages, too. A cell phone camera, to me, isn't worth existing at all if it's not good enough to replace a compact camera, but very few phone companies seem to share this opinion. Running a hotspot on my N8 for an Android device has been my stopgap solution, though...
  34. ITT we discuss how to invade Canada

    They're also a decent air superiority force.
  35. Chick Fill Aye on same sex marry age

    They might not be, but you are implying it. What I'm saying, really, your statement about the Old Testament's opinions on gays is a non sequitur unless you're proposing we all become ultra-orthodox Jews. We've tossed so much of it already that clinging to a single passage just looks foolish...
  36. Chick Fill Aye on same sex marry age

    Oh, FFS, have you actually read Leviticus? It says we should kill adulterers, mediums (the spiritual sort, to be clear), and those that curse their parents in the same chapter. I don't see anyone calling for John Edward's head. People are just squicked by gay sex, get over yourselves. For...
  37. Why do they cut lines in concrete?

    Wait, was I supposed to outgrow that?
  38. potato chips ... what to buy?

    Have you ever lit a cheese puff on fire? You'd probably need a permit to move them by the truckload.
