From the bb's, I d/l Atomic Web first (since it was only .99), Ika is still acting wonky under most disguise settings. - Stephen May 9, 19:19 3

- ouch -- nm - Karl_S May 9, 19:22
kelly & will - if I can make a suggestion; get a Flip HD. - JaxSean May 9, 19:13 10
- micro 4/3 cameras are good for this too. most come with a fixed focal length lens, do hd video, and you can get a zoom lens later if you need it. -- nm - mafic May 9, 19:21
- Good points, thanks! -- nm - kelly May 9, 19:19
- I missed the background discussion on this, but this is a big reason why I bought the camera model I did. - Fuzzy May 9, 19:18 5
  - Key point is what are you carrying. Everyone is carrying their phones. Most won't carry two other cameras, if even one. -- nm - psilotum May 9, 19:33 4
    - This is true. Personally, the quality of the pics I take with my phone makes me cringe. But that may only be me. -- nm - Fuzzy May 9, 19:36
    - thats why SheFox wanted the iPhone. -- nm - TFox May 9, 19:35 2
      - Yeah, iPhone 4S is 8MP, I think. -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 19:40 1
        
        the camera on it is awesome. not just the pixels, the speed and the lens and everything. -- nm - TFox May 9, 19:42
- Where are my damn links, Spock? -- nm - David May 9, 19:16 1

- They're not misinformed. They're biased against homosexuality. - David May 9, 19:14 5
  - I wish it was once again taboo to be ignorant. -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 19:42
  - I've long believed that education fixes the majority of our social ills. Smarter people do fewer stupid things. Subsidize education and health care - TWuG May 9, 19:17 3
    - I don't think education is the solution here. There are plenty of educated people that are closed-minded and plenty of uneducated people who are not - Roger More May 9, 19:41 2
      - education without exposure is just words on a page. You can tell me all you want about what sushi or coconut taste like, - Beryllium May 9, 19:44 1
        
        Are we still talking about sex? -- nm - Fuzzy May 9, 19:49
- surprise. -- nm - Diva May 9, 19:08
this Holtby kid is really good -- nm - Beaker May 9, 19:04 1

Survivor spoilers - David May 9, 18:49 1
- heh (spoils) - Jovian May 9, 18:54
Touch renewed, Alcatraz canceled -- nm - Remlik May 9, 18:47 21
- Really. Alcatraz was better than Touch -- nm - Karl_S May 9, 19:15 3
  - I liked Alacatraz, but I have little faith in the people making the show. - the wrong element, bad guy May 9, 19:23
  - I haven't watched either one but Touch has Gugu Mbatha-Raw, so it gets my vote. -- nm - David May 9, 19:17 1
    - You are a wise man. - the wrong element, bad guy May 9, 19:24

  - haven't heard yet. I'm about done with the show. -- nm - Remlik May 9, 19:10 2
    - I'm still liking it. -- nm - mara May 9, 19:12 1
      - really like the cast a lot, but it's settled into a procedural. -- nm - Remlik May 9, 19:15
- And they picked up a show starring Stanford Panties. - the wrong element, bad guy May 9, 18:55
- Finder as well -- nm - Remlik May 9, 18:48 8
  - I think I would have been happy with Fox cancelling every show other than Fringe and Raising Hope if it meant they kept The Finder. - the wrong element, bad guy May 9, 19:00 2
    - I wonder if there will be a mail-in protest. What would be mailed? Tarot cards? Glass jars? Michael Clarke Duncan? -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 19:11 1
      - (one or two episodes ago spoilers inside) - Beryllium May 9, 19:13
  - Which one? -- nm - the liioiulu with May 9, 18:50 4
    - sorry...canceled -- nm - Remlik May 9, 18:56 3
      - I assumed but wasn't sure. -- nm - the liioulu with May 9, 18:57 2
        
        Dammit. I liked that show. -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 18:58 1
        
        Damn, we did too! -- nm - Stephen May 9, 19:10

  - maybe you can get the NBN network wired to your camp in the future -- nm - Karl_S May 9, 18:37 1
    - in about 2026 at the rate they're progressing. we're probably 300km from the closest transmission line, so it'd be a tough ask anyway. - mafic May 9, 18:42
  - *likes* -- nm - David May 9, 18:37
Avengers: A+ -- nm - Beaker May 9, 18:31

This week's NCIS:LA - A -- nm - the liioulu with odd computer stuff May 9, 18:09
In case anyone is interested - Change.org has a petition to move the DNC out of North Carolina. -- (link) - kelly May 9, 18:01 20
- Yeah, because moving a convention on three months notice is going to happen. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) May 9, 19:01 3
  - *shrug* - kelly May 9, 19:13
  - the security arrangements have probably been in the works for a long time. -- nm - Mel Profit May 9, 19:05 1
    - The local dens of whores have been contacted way in advance. -- nm - Secret Service si May 9, 19:06
- Nope...leave it right where it is. - Mel Profit May 9, 18:18 15
  - This is right. Otherwise, you are punishing people who did nothing wrong. - David May 9, 18:35
  - the more I think about it, the more I agree - znufrii May 9, 18:24
  - and make it look like Pride. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 18:22
  - Considering that some NC votes will have been lost today, this might be a good idea to reduce losses. -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 18:22 4
    - If they leave it there they could lose a lot of votes too. -- nm - the liioulu with odd computer stuff May 9, 18:23 2
      - They could move it to Michigan, to stimulate a local economy -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 18:27 1
        
        Detroit needs a lot of help. -- nm - the liioulu with odd computer stuff May 9, 18:39
    - (also, can they start a DNC Pride Parade? Heh) -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 18:22
  - Disagree. -- nm - Diva May 9, 18:21 6
    - Shouldn't give money to a state that practices that level of discrimination. -- nm - the liioulu with odd computer stuff May 9, 18:22 5
      - There is that. - Mel Profit May 9, 18:31
      - I don't think so either. That's why I disagreed. -- nm - Diva May 9, 18:24 2
        
        Didn't quite come out the right way, but I was agreeing with your disagree. -- nm - the liioulu with odd computer stuff May 9, 18:25 1
        
        got it. -- nm - Diva May 9, 18:26
      - I agree. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 18:24
Things that make you go "What the FUCK???" Found out a friend of mine had a heart attack and died while working out today! - Cuzzin Todd May 9, 17:57 15

- So sorry. :-( -- nm - Krusty May 9, 18:09
- Ugh, so sorry. How sad. -- nm - kelly May 9, 18:01
- :( oh dear ... I am so sorry ... that completely sucks -- nm - JenBro May 9, 18:01
- Sorry, dude. That sucks. -- nm - psilotum May 9, 17:58
Beastie Boys fans - IIRC back when their video was released for Sabotage, they played the "H" out of it on MTV - it was hailed as genre breaking IIRC. - JenBro May 9, 17:52 1
- Too bad we don't have a real music station anymore. They were all over it when Cobain died but now that they're not a music - Krusty May 9, 18:31
ring tones. what special ones or songs are on your phone for incoming calls? -- nm - peglegpete May 9, 17:52 7

- Nothing. My phone is only on vibrate. (nm) - Fuzzy May 9, 19:07
- My daughter yelling at me to answer my phone. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) May 9, 19:02
- Mulatto Butts for most calls. For some people I use Peter Piper, The Odd Couple or Taxi theme song. - Krusty May 9, 18:38
- a bunch. the piano riff from sloan's chester the molester, the opening riff from come together as my text alert, some good banjo as another ringtone, - mafic May 9, 18:31
- I have the muppet YipYipYip one, the Chuck theme, and the Team Fortress theme -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 17:55 1
  - Also, a clip of "Camel Walk" from Sputgern (WTF iPhone? I was trying to type "Southern Culture on the Skids") -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 17:58
Never thought I'd say this, but I'm off to the opera. - ceregon May 9, 17:45 3
- What opera? -- nm - the liioulu with odd computer stuff May 9, 17:53
- Oh the shark babe, has such teeth, dear, and he shows them pearly white.. -- nm - peglegpete May 9, 17:52 1
  - Someone's sneaking .. 'round the corner .... - JenBro May 9, 17:59
That was a neat stat CBC just put up - Reagen May 9, 17:45 1
- poor intern whose job that was. "here's a stopwatch, now go!" -- nm - mafic May 9, 18:38
It's the nanobots. -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 17:34
I like that the camcorder takes SD cards, Kelly. For a while, that level of usefulness was unheard of with Sony :) - Beryllium May 9, 17:31 8
- Compare it with this one - Will Hunting May 9, 17:36 7
  - this one is HD - would we want this instead? -- nm - kelly May 9, 17:44 6
    - Not to argue with your mom, but I wouldn't get a dedicated video camera. DSLRs and fixed lense digital cameras take fantastic HD video these days. -- nm - psilotum May 9, 18:04 4
      - yeah, I have a panasonic lumix gf1 that does hd video, and takes good photos too. -- nm - mafic May 9, 19:06
      - She said we could get pretty much whatever we want when I spoke to her, but she would like it to have video capabilities (so we can send her some). - kelly May 9, 18:11
      - I have a DSLR that does video - it's not really the greatest at doing toddler video. Too much refocusing. -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 18:06 1
        
        A camcorder is better for basic video and will probably be easier to share. -- nm - the liioulu with odd computer stuff May 9, 18:08
    - My preference would be for HD -- nm - Beryllium May 9, 17:49
re be (ceregon) - Truman May 9, 17:29 1
- arg, re b2 -- nm - Truman May 9, 17:36
