@KeineLust90: CA = chromatic aberration, and at f/1.8 the f/1.4 lens should be noticeably sharper... as to the distotion and CA I'd be pretty upset if the f/1.4 was worse than the f/1.8

@highfloydelity: a hot cup of coffee actually makes me feel sleepy (mostly because I don't get enough sleep then the warmth soothes and relaxes me)

@Dr Emilio Lizardo: well... if the earth didn't have radiation we wouldn't be on it.

@infmom: Don't know the law in the USA, but for Canadians it is not so cut and dry, is usually advantageous to lease (unless of course it is an expensive rate). If you purchase you can deduct a portion of the interest rate, however if it is used for more than 10% personal use you have to reimburse the business, plus…

@S_path_23: Am I the only one that has had terrible luck with Logitech mice? I used to use a wired M.S. for years and it never had any problems, then when I set up my home office my boss ok'd a new mouse and so many people speak highly of logitech - it (mx620)felt heavy at first but I quickly got used to it, it only…

@farcedude: oh yeah I remember that pain now from my first guitar (stiff steel strings with really high action) - my first calluses were hard but still somewhat thin, and would sometimes crack open and bleed a little :) now I have Bryan Adams songs going through my head!

@Terry: hmm, my front ports on my XP machine all reverted to USB 1.0. I recently upgraded it to Win7, and hoped it would fix, but alas it must be in the hardware.

@RizzRustbolt: just like G.A. Custer ;)

@Dr Emilio Lizardo: gives new meaning to licking your wounds !

The hardest part about using the invisible mouse is remembering where you left it.

@infmom: leases are good for those who can write-off the cost as an employment expense on their income taxes.

Also, my last city had hard water and many homes had the option to rent their water softeners plus water heaters - for $80 a year it can't be beat - never have to pay to repair a thing.

If Canadian government gets their way, criminalizing people who hack their own digital media players, then essentially we can't really "own" anything that plays back any form of digital media. So...iPods.

@cyanictec: seconded

@Tomb: R.O.A.C.H.: homorobosexuality? or, a condensed version, hobosexuality?

@Kogo: ergo, Morbo the Annihilator.

VOTE: my bank's website

The trick for cooling your home in a warm humid climate is to dry it out as much as possible - don't use dishwasher, have cool showers instead of hot, no boiling water on the stove, hang your laundry outside to dry, run a dehumidifier if you have one, and have adequate ventilation. The temperature is secondary to…

I use Outlook calendar to track all my time. Simple to drag tasks over from the to-do bar. Every three months or so I print off a hardcopy for my record (CYA). Would make doing my timesheet a real breeze if outlook could natively use the calendar to calculate "actual" hours for a task then summed them up for a…

I've learned to not put coffee grounds in the fridge, to not use q-tips to clean my ears, that u-turns are not allowed at controlled intersections (in my jurisdiction), that tasers are in fact dangerous, the banana thing, that soy is in fact supposedly bad now, that most people pronounce been "bin", That nuclear…
