Have been looking around a bit for the ability to take the K10D 1 to 2 meter or so underwater to take photos.
The only sad things is there I haven't found any cheap way to do that.

I'm hoping someone here would know a great product that could do it or maybe even a DIY solution. The K10D has seals to keep some water out so it can get "moist" so to say.

I tend to look in second hand shops as there are often some good basic books.

Occasionaly i have found some inspirational ones such as 'Nature' and 'photographing the World Around You' by Freeman Patterson and arty books such as those by Richard Long.
Yes arty books are also my form of inspiration it's often not the technique that's holding you back but the ability to see things and I found magazines like B&W and Silvershotz of value of expending my view and training my eye.

Maybe we should contact Ole Oest and Adam Oest who wrote it and ask them if we can make it into a sticky or something like that, don't know what the view from others is about this?
You can find them on pentaxforums.com I believe, that's also where I found these links.

Wireless security is getting so much easier to set up, I believe it's a problem which will go away of its own accord before long.

basic WEP security is fairly easily bypassed, but the fact that someone had to break in removes any ambiguity about weather or not they were supposed to be there.
Yes precisely
However standard passwords aren't accept by the German law because that's what happened with the man that was on holiday what you talked about.

FWIW in the US there have been convictions in cases where people have used unsecured wifi without authorisation. Not sure about the UK.
Yes and that's the only thing they can do really, it's hard to figure out how damaging the act is.
And even some devices automatically connect to the strongest network sometimes so who is wrong then?

From what I understand here in the Netherlands an unsecured network is seen as provoking someone to use it so it's not punishable by law if you connect to it.

In Germany (precisely what Mongoose was talking about) has just let that you must secure your wireless network or as you can pay a fine off €100 if somebody else downloads illegal files with it.

Well, not exactly. You wouldn't have a bike anymore, but the unsecured wireless network owner still has internet access.
Not if the thief returns the bike again

From what I understand is if a wireless network connection is not secured you're allowed to plug into it.
Don't know if it's so in every country.

Depends if it's locked in another way or not but if not then yes you're right.
Yes it's wrong but in a way you're envoking it to be ride on by somebody else by not securing it, it would be hard to get your right in this.
