I've just been to the kitchen and there is no tea left! At first I thought there was just none left in the tea jar, but no! I looked in all the cupboards and nothing! My nerves were almost calmed when I spotted a cheeky box of camomile at the back of a shelf... that raised my hopes for a second but it was sodding empty too! All the shops are closed at this time of night! What on earth am I supposed do to? P.S. There is no coffee either before anyone suggests that.where are you? so unfortunate- everything is 24 hours where I am (London) well, not everything, but I can get there in 30 minutes if I walk.

» How much of a disadvantage is 3 focus focus points ?

I've recently treated myself to a DSLR - I got the D40X as I liked the feel of it. Anyway, it only has 3 auto-focus points and I remember one member saying this will make sports photography difficult. Thankfully i'm not interested in sports photography or sports anyway :-P But...will the same aply to wildlife photography ? Can I still capture a bird in flight ? Before splashing out on a telephoto lens it would be good to know if i've bought myself the right body, as the camera shop has a 30 day exchange policy, and I could swap it for a rebel XTi. But I don't want to, unless this auto-focus thing really is a problem... Pressumably I can just manually focus on the areas not covered by auto focus ?

» So, I asked you for advice, but I didn't take it....

Still, I totally aoppreciated it and thought about it. I was thinking, last week, that I wanted to get a DSLR for my wife, and you folks gave me lots to think about. The more I thought about it, I realized that my wife really wouldn't want a DSLR - I would! :mrgreen: So, I talked to about 20 people on another forum who all have a Canon S3 IS. I looked at over 200 photos online from these folks. I was way more than pleased. It certainly was far superior than my wife's Coolpix 4300. The zoom is what totally sold me ( and the price was right - $287 ). I'm giving to my wife on May 13th, as a combination Mother's Day / anniversary gift. I hope she loves it. And, when she lets me play with it, I am sure I will love it too. :wink: Tha...... - 2009-07-03

Did Adolf Spear and his family die in a plane crash in Bouake, Ivory Coast, November,1997?Dear edward123, I assume you are asking this question because you received an e-mail, allegedly from a bank manager, businessman or similar person located in an African country like Togo or Nigeria. I further assume that the e-mail stated that German businessman Adolf Spear died in a plane crash, leaving no heirs except of you, and that you should now hand over certain information to the e-mail's sender so you can claim the fortune Herr Spear reportedly left behind.

Or are they saying that she was so controlled by her own emotions that she wasn't even responsible for her decisions? And, no, probably not.

Reduced liability for emotions is seen in increased social support for everything from temper tantrums to crying for women as opposed to men. Just how the world work...... - 2009-07-03

» What format do you shoot?

Hi there, As an initiation post, I thought I'd try to find out more about the forum users here. As a sheet film for the past 2 years I still love composing in the square format on large format. I've had an old monorail which I continue to cherish and use, although it's not the most practical camera in the world I continue to use it as much as I can. Why large format? It requires at least 10 minutes to set up properly, and concentration to attend to an image; weighs at least 15kg to carry around with its gear; is expensive for film and processing and printing. That's fine, as I use it for landscape work which I dearly love, even if I shoot less images. It has its upsides: I've found that it's a great ice-breaker with stra...... - 2009-07-03

Hello, I have a Pentax K1000 with a K-mount lens mount, and i was wondering if anyone could recomend a lens that i can get close to the subject with, and also have lots of DOF, please help me, im very new to the photography world, thanks! JeffSounds like you want a fast macro lens. Macro lenses allow your to get high reproduction ratios. All you'll need to do to get a high DOF is stop it down and light your subject well. I'm sure if you do a ebay search or check out bhaudiovideo or adorama you could find a grip of lenses that fit the bill for a variety of price ranges.With an older style mount like the K1000, you'll prolly have better luck finding some exstension tubes to use with your existing lenses.

» If I have a cd stuck in my player in my 2003 corolla, can I just pop off that section?

It's a 2003 corolla S and the cd plays over the radio. It won't eject. Taking suggestions.CD Players are extremely sensitive, I would recommend removing the entire unit and taking it to your local dealership or electronics repair shop. Forcefully removing the CD will ruin the CD Player and/or the ejecting mechanism!I can't speak for a Corolla; however, I had two CDs stuck in a single-CD player (kids are wonderful!). They were both in there for almost a year and, believe me, I got sick of Nirvana real quick after the first month. One day, my company had a picknick at a resovoir and the road to get there was one of those washboard, dirt roads. After about two minutes of intense jiggling, the top CD popped out all by itself! ...... - 2009-07-03

"Since today this property completely slipped by without being noticed (by me at least): System.capabilities.playerType A friend of mine asked me if i knew a way of telling from where the swf is being run (standalone, browser.. etc). I didn't... and where do you go first when you don't know the answer? .. Help docs, of course :) And there it was: System.capabilities.playerType. Just the thing i needed. It is a property (of type string) that indicates the type of the player. It can return the value of "StandAlone" if the swf is being run in a standalone player, "External" if the swf is run from the FlashIDE, "PluigIn" if its run from within a browser (of Netscape type) and "ActiveX" if its run from within IE.

Some muscle cars overheat in traffic if they sit and idle for a long time in the summer, but driving on the freeway won't cause that. I take it that this is your first 'older' car and you're afraid it might not be reliable and break down a lot? My daily driver is a 1978 El Camino and it runs great all the time.

I think it is impossible to solve, since to pull a 50kg mass 60 meters on the surface, one would need to apply a horizontal force of 50*9.8*0.26=127N to keep the velocity constant.
