All those arsty fartsy types like using Apples cause its cool. Wouldn't be caught dead using Windows.

...spell their names, brush their teeth, and learn how to use the toilet. Things that even some 5th graders in my wife's school can't do yet. This is SE N.Carolina (yes not SC but close enough). How do people expect them to use a computer when its covered in shit?

Its still around...I have Turbo RoadRunner service.

at the end of each episode PresBo will hand out stimulus money "Will you accept this gift from the taxpayers of the US?"

lets hope this doesn't turn into the cluster-f that we have with justice data. A schema the length of the bible, 4 different versions that no one is sure which to use, and a competing system running down the same path. And this is all dealing with intra-governmental agencies! No private sector here.

Very true, my friends always assumed I'd love to win the lottery, then I'd have time to design and code apps that I wanted to.... No... don't get me wrong, I want to win the lottery BUT after doing this day in and day out for years...I don't think I'd open another IDE again.

I always use single use card numbers, or generated numbers for different vendors. Although one problem I can think of is returns, I don't know how those are treated.

I think its just a difference in terminology. Its also in important difference as marketing departments have put digital zooming on the same plain as optical zooming. Which it isn't. Digital zoom - as far as P/S cameras is zooming in farther than the optical zoom allows, a crop Crop - post process digital manipulation. Ease up on the coffee...you might pop a vessel or something....geez.

G-Map does turn by turn.

i disagree, its the light.

all digital zoom is, is an in camera crop. And with point and shoot cameras (most of them) a severe crop results in not so great looking photos.

There's a reason why many cameras have a 3x zoom, its difficult to engineer a zoom lens with greater range. Just look at many decent zoom lenses for DSLRs, 17-55, 70-200, 100-400...these are 3x and 4x lenses....very good image quality....even a "kit" lens isn't all that bad 18-85 (5x).... Canon makes a 28-300 L lens thats a 11x lens but of course costs $2500 My guess that even at the optical 12x part of your zoom, image quality is pretty bad.

stop underexposing your images. There is no reason why you can't get good images from a canon 40D @ ISO 1600 or even 3200, the problem is it may require a slower shutter speed than you want to give.

back in the film days you also went out and spent money on a little cartridge aka "Film". Digital days, your camera is the "film". I don't care what kind of camera/AF/lenses you have, it could be a Canon F1, with L lenses, if you are shooting crappy Fuji Film 800 your photos are going to look crappy, no matter how spot on your exposure is. I have a 10 year old 80-200 f/2.8L lens, shoots as sharp today as it did back when i got it.
