How about the firing of a neutrino beam from Fermilab to northern MN (MINOS)? The beam is fired hundreds of miles and roughly 1/2 mi underground. Not to mention that everything you see in this picture was brought down the original mine shaft elevator that comfortably fits only 6 people. Details here.

I'm wondering the same thing. There's the 100% viewfinder and one more FPS, but even as a still photographer, the WiFi and GPS are worth the trade-off. I moved from the 50D to the 7D mostly for the AF and wireless flash control, which are both now included.

Thought of this...

It's called a pinnacle landing. Essentially, the helicopter is still flying.

I just got my invite. Ironically the same reasons I got invited will likely be the reasons I can't afford it. Wedding, school, flying, etc.

Hugely helpful, thanks!

I'm having a hard time understanding the server side of things. I have an external hooked up through my router containing my video files. I just point XBMC on my Apple TV to the networked location and I'm done. Is the XBMC server on my Apple TV then?

Flying. I'm a private pilot (as a hobby) and the tablet lets me carry all of my maps, airport directories, publications, flight plans, weight and balance, and checklists all on my lap. I just strap my iPad 3 on my knee, tap the airport I want to go to, and boom, weather briefing, fuel usage, ETA, alternate airports,…

I've been gearing up to ask for a raise and think this charts sums it up nicely. I have been interviewing for other jobs that I'd be comfortable moving into, even if they are a lateral move and plan to take an offer to my boss and ask for a raise, bonus, or a contractual partial telecommute option. I love my job, but…

Is there a practical server option that can compete with the $200-300 (diskless) price point of a Synology NAS?

My thoughts are that follow-ups are nice, but don't impact my hiring decisions. That's just me though. I feel that there's so much tension around the follow-up that I'm not going to hold it against the person if they don't do it.

I've had a package stolen once by a neighbor kid. After a friendly chat with the parents I got my driveway shovel the entire winter by that little brat. It was a nasty winter. Never had a package stolen after that.

I've always found the MINOS research interesting. A particle accelerator near Chicago firing 450 miles to northern Minnesota, thousands of feet under ground. Took a tour of it while back, but not sure what they are doing with it now.

Do you really think have a groundbreaking realization here?

So much irony in this comment...

Old games I still play:

You know what other game they need to revive? Jagged Alliance. Ah, the memories.
