...Panasonic forum. There are probably dozens of threads like these, among the other DPR forums. These get into Micro 4/3 vs superzooms, in particular. There are good arguments for both sides of the debate.

I belong to a club that uses Yahoo Groups for organizing. The members like that it functions as a mailing list. And, one feature we haven't been able to find elsewhere, is that events on the calendar can be set up to do periodic auto-notifications via email. We do see weaknesses in Yahoo Groups, and would appreciate suggestions.

That stuff is barely worth keeping at all; not worth putting in a file cabinet; and certainly not worth the trouble of digitizing. Put it in a box or drawer chronologically, not even sub-divided by type. (Ok, keep you mortgage and insurance papers filed in a cabinet.) In the rare instance where you need to refer to a credit card bill, you'll find it easily enough. After 5 or 6 years, start purging and shredding the oldest stuff.

No need to over-complicate your life.

Maybe you should take a(nother) look at Opera. It has a nice compression service option. It's proxy based, compresses and marginally degrades images, and is otherwise transparent to the user.

I am forced to use IE with my Dialup provider (image compression only works with IE6/7/8), and it stinks. Mostly from the lack of features.

1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? 685

Posted by samzenpus
from the I-hate-time-travel-stories dept.
Many of you have submitted a story about Irish filmmaker George Clarke, who claims to have found a person using a cellphone in the "unused footage" section of the DVD The Circus, a Charlie Chaplin movie filmed in 1928. To me the bigger mystery is how someone who appears to be the offspring of Ram-Man and The Penguin got into a movie in the first place, especially if they were talking to a little metal box on set. Watch the video and decide for yourself.

Good day for overcoming obstacles. Try a steeplechase.
