This is very interesting in that you can get a real insight into forum members
Indeed but most of the time someone at least pick one/two film(s) out that has been named before, Alien and Blade Runner are for example very popular.
If we should do a top30 they will pretty much look the same I think, at least for 1/3th of the list most likely with the couple of odd members though

16 PAGES AND THIS THING DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A CAMERA FITTED, (AS YET ).
There are more little things for example you need an adapter to get USB, no flash support and it can't do multi-tasking, but the form and the battery life are good so who knows...

I think they are pushing their luck a bit because I've not read one good word for it in the papers here saying the things stated above and comparing it to Microsoft when they where forcing use of their software (internet explorer/ windows media player) which Apple is doing now with their highly mobile products more then Microsoft did...

No need to discuss these things now since that's already being done and I only say what the papers say so I wont discuss them further, only time will tell how things will go.

Fiona it was finally quieting down

Depending if you can install Linux on it and what other companies might do (google cloon) then yes maybe.

I believe some are falling from their chairs now

Oh my, just ten....
Well in no order.

A Clockwork Orange
Seven
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
Ghost in the Shell
Millennium Actress
The Place Promised in our Early Days
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
Der Untergang

I hope I threw some new films into the group, that no one named A Clockwork Orange... although it isn't a film for everyone.

Indeed
You should search for French Military Victories and click I'm feeling lucky

But seriously the search engine here does not work so great, most of the time I adapt google to only search on this web, that works better sometimes.

Have heard it called a lot of things, but never clever. I do agree though; the programing is highly sophisticated.

All I'm saying is that I have a bit of a problem with these big Hollywood blockbusters. The wooden acting and overdone special effects. The minimum number of explosions per reel, quota. The obligatory feisty (to keep the girls watching), yet attractive (to keep the boys happy) female character, and the inevitable cute, but troubled kid.
Same here, they are very weak most of the time.
The last two good ones I saw was Batman: The Dark Knight and UP

I like Westerns so I like quite a lot of Sci Fi in a subdued sort of way...
Try watching the series "Firefly" which has the feel of a western in space...
Cowboy Bebop, series is now 12 years old though...

And yes firefly is awesome, too bad the cancelled it I really enjoyed it

A serious question, can Mac be used as a carrier for a virus (malware)?
Depends what you mean by 'carrier'. Certainly a virus could be passed through a Mac in some circumstances, but not by a method which relies on the host becoming infected - unless it's a Mac virus, but then you wouldn't use the term "carrier" I guess.
The first one that's what I meant, so a infected file quite be lay dormend on a Mac till you send it to windows user for example right?

No sorry, Danny, I don't get it
But we did went into this point seriously.

And you said something about reading?

See that word before virus? It's spelt o n e or one or 1 if you like.

See those words after virus, they include the words 'proof' and 'of' and 'concept'

Must... stop.... replying.....brain.....going....numb.....
Yes one until October 2007, it's now 2010 I believe.

Some months ago I did some experiments with using several shots to make an exposure "total" bigger and averaging out the noise.

You could have taken you 4 shot at ISO1600 8 s (you get the same exposure right?)
Shots are noisy but if averaged out you get some good shots.

These are some results, handheld and used 2 or 3 shots to get the noise out of it. https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/test-shots-high-iso-16458
If you've a tri-pod and not doing it hand-held Like I did then you can take a lot more photos.

Also with you plane example if you took several shots, you can easily leave out the one with the plane instead of doing it over again for 30 seconds you only lost 8.
