Im off on a desert camping trip this weekend and hoping for some clear weather. I have a full frame (5D mkIII) and my widest glass is a 16-35mm f/2.8 zoom. By that 600 rule, I should be able to expose up to ~37s. Thankfully, I can crank some good ISO levels without much noise. I will let you...

The funniest stashes I had ever stumbled across was in a government Navy building 13 years ago or so. I was an enlisted scrub at the time and was tasked with a few others to re-paint the bathroom. Now, this building had been around for decades and the paint wasnt in too terrible shape. However...

Pound Rebka was a test involving observations with the Viking 1. I was talking about: Optical Clocks and Relativity I think we are in agreement here though, but Time Dialation is achieved both ways. 1) Gravitational Time Dilation = in respect to distance to mass 2) Relative Velocity...

Nice stuff. You can clearly see the Andromeda galaxy in the last two. Do you have any exposure information?

There was a pretty cool "Into the Universe" episode where they went specifically into this. Time dilation as in: closer to mass, the more time is (relatively) slowed down to time measured further away. Scientists in Greenwich took two identical clocks extremely sync'd to who knows how many...

I cant remember who gave my invite (Homsar?), but my ratio is 2.7 or more with a few TB of uploads. No seedbox, just my trusty 100MB Fiber connection and seeds left on overnight.

I always farm my best ratio by hosting entire Season packs of older TV shows. Mythbusters and Top Gear (UK) are my bread and butter! I've probably uploaded a TB or more of that shit alone.

Episode felt fairly middle of the road for me. Nothing great, nothing terrible. Bring on more Randy episodes!

Pretty much sums it up. Russel always had the plan to get to the end, but always overlooked the final vote where people actually had to like you and vote for you to win the million bucks. Massive oversight on his part. Who knew being a dick and fucking every single person over wouldnt win you...

My timescales could have been fucked up, but it was while Vista was in its infancy and no one really used that OS at all at the time because of (ironically enough) poor driver support. Thevastmajority of people were still on XP and the driver support was as critical as ever.

Is it a specific game crashing? The reason I ask is because I use Win7 and a pair of SLI 670 FTWs and have had no issues whatsoever. Worst case, if you think the new drivers caused the issues, uninstall the driver and go back to a previous version. Simple fix. Again, I am on current...

My last ATI cards were probably 4 years ago or so. I tried to Crossfire a pair of new cards and the driver support was just terrible (Windows XP at the time). I ended up selling them and have purchased nVidia ever since. I still read ATi driver issues from time to time and its enough for me to...

Emma Watson? Is that you?

Rupert won me over in the first episode of his first season (Pearl Islands). It was a wierd start to the show where the contestants were given some local currency to buy goods in a local market for their tribes in a very limited time. For whatever reason the opposing tribe left their belongings...

You said Brell, right? Just curious what guilds / characters these were. This server was my old stomping ground before AB (Euro server) opened up.

Snapped this pic up in my backyard. 400mm + x2 Teleconverter on a full frame 5D MkIII. Cropped and tweaked in Lightroom.

Zzzzz....

We can only hope! The pricing has gotten ridiculous.

I love the shape of those things. Did you get the Turbo version?

He is on this forum. You could just PM him yourself and see if he'd reply what he is up to.

Most satisfying PVE was probably downing Rathe Council. We were one of the first couple guilds to do so. It wasnt so much of the accomplishment itself as it was SoE cockblocking everyone out of unfinished PoTime by keeping it unkillable. I want to say we had to wait months before it was patched...

I dont believe this is entirely true. We now know that Candice was flown out at the very last minute because of RC's father's heart issues. The returning players already have some alliances built going-in (RC mentions this). Candice would have been an "unknown" vote outsider showing up at the...

Necro is probably the most gear irrelevant class there is.

I know there were monks doing it long before mercs existed. He had a bag full of clickies and potions to do it though.

Ravings of a lunatic most likely.

Apparently the guy etched "my elf weapon" into his shotgun. More video game discussion in the media to come, I am sure. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.1460199 (Also carved "Better off this way")

Damn.. beat me to it.

If only there were some way to protect birds from the blades... like some sort of protective cage... NAILED IT!

? I was there yesterday.

Pretty sure Rupert won a 1 mil dollar favorite reward at one point. *edit* yep: Can't knock a guy who has been helping kids since day 1 of Survivor.

Damn, she was really hot and had some great Ponderosa videos. A strategist that got shut down far too soon. I think she was the only person I ever e-stalked. We actually had a few Facebook message conversations back in the Phillipines season. I asked her a few Survivor questions and...

God damn, and I used to think she was hot as fuck back on Survivor Season 2. I never followed her after that. What a nut job.

I really dont know where I stand on this. Laptops, by their very nature are significantly reduced performance PCs for the sake portability. In my opinion, if you really want to bitch about gaming performance, then go buy an actual desktop PC or gaming laptop. Sure you should be able to run...

It depends on active duty vs contractor also. NEW clearances for civilians still take a long time for TS / SCI. I did my PR (periodic reinvestigation) last year and it took about 10 months. The previous one in 2007 took a year and a half. Funny thing about the interview portion, they did not...

I have been using the HTTPS for months now. Nothing new here.

I was completely agreeing with you there.

So let me get this straight, people are bitching because in order to max out their settings, they needed a high end PC? Fucking morons. A "bad engine" runs like shit, regarless of what hardware you throw at it. (See EQ2)

"Levels"... Pokemon collector classes... or whatever you want to call the grind, will be there. His point does stand.

So, I am halfway across the world and went to bed when most of the US evening news were covering this story. Last I had heard, they were seaching for a 2nd suspect. Is that still the case?

I do rememebr that option as well. To be fair, 99% of my inspections are accidental by using mouselook.
