A large portion of the canon cameras support CHDK (canon hack devkit). One of the nice features included in this is motion detection. This requires no external components to get it working, as it uses the CCD for triggering. There are numerous scripts that use CHDK to implement delays, time laps photo sequences or other funky actions. Most of the supported cameras are fast enough to capture lightning.

Another reason not to use iTunes!! YAY!

So this could be enabled in the kernel and/or gcc/gdb in the near future? That would be convenient for debugging. Unfortunately the link is still blocked, so the details on enabling this is still hidden.

Only heterosexual women and homosexual men are appeased by looking at meat. (and not being denied their wishes)

We will consume this planet trying to escape it. If we don't figure out a way to live with earth, then we will not be able to live without it.

Seeing the paradox, the percentage voting "Always lie" were the random votes. That means that (at the current 12%), 60% of the votes were random :D.

Did you remember to subtract two? the processes that did the calculation are already gone once this is printed.

It'll cool your feet in the winter when it works at its best and in the summer the difference between warm sidewalks and the inside of the boot will not generate any electricity. This means that when you don't mind to wear it, it does not work. When it works, it causes so much discomfort that you choose not to... Mmm.

My views are only from the perspective of owning a WM phone, but the things that I noticed in my own phone (Motorola MPX220) and the HTC WM phone of my dad is that WM is just too much like a desktop OS. This brings round problems like start-up times in excess of a minute and no alarms when the phone is turned off. It must've been an option to start a development from scratch at the time (and it might even be a development from scratch), but the WM OS behaves too much like a desktop OS to ever be successful in embedded applications. Hacking this around will always lag behind the competitors. Starting from scratch could fix it for them, since they usually manage to heave a huge bucket of money into the marketing machine and haul the product through the ditch. They'll be out of the game for a couple of years then.

Are just flat, not in 3D... Work in progress, I'd say. ;)

My photo policy is even more verbose. I have an 8GB card onboard with the camera set to multiple shots. Taking photo's of family/kids, I just keep the shutter button pressed down and weed through the mass of poor photo's. The number of briliant photo's that emerge is great to see. Photo's one will never be able to capture if you wait for it.

The human race adds far too much value to their burial. We have to realise that we are part of the food chain. Burning our bodies consuming energy and producing carbon dioxide is senseless. For this reason I voted for a burial at sea.

You mean soon it will not be acceptable to show Neanderthal behaviour any more?! What IS the world coming to...
