Lol, yeah I guess I'll admit it's technically possible - but it would require you to somehow reverse engineer your camera's internal code. (Pentax doesn't give it out to anyone, not even to the people who write the raw-conversion software for them) And then you'd have to write code to make the extracted data interface with some sort of image editing software, like photoshop. And then you'd have to write more code to save it back into an unconspicuous, ordinary-looking Raw file again, with all the metadata intact.

Even as a hobbyist, half-assed programmer I can tell you: that would be a ton of work even for a team of super-geniuses! Man, what a hassle that would be!

Anyone wanna fund me so I can begin development?

Yup. That's it exactly.

Nope, you're misunderstanding me. You cannot modify a Raw file. You can load a Raw file up, edit the image data that it holds and then save it out as a different file and as a different file format - but no matter what you do, you cannot change the original Raw file.

This is why that photojournalist used them as his "Proof" of the shot.

Actually, there's a good reason to shoot Raw+JPG. I was talking to this semi-famous photojournalist at my photo club's last meeting (/bragging) and he said he always shot raw+jpg because he trusted his camera enough for the quality of the JPG in case he needed to quickly send them back to Canada without the post-production hassle. BUT here's the key - he'd have the Raw files to prove that his shots weren't tampered with and that they were the 100% accurate/original visual recordings. (You can't modify a Raw file!) So he was legally covered for when his shots were used in magazines.

Fascinating stuff, eh?

There is a stuck pixel on the lcd of my K10, but not on the photos. And it seems to only show up once in a while and then disappear for a week or two. Obviously, it doesn't bother me too much.

Hmm, I just took my Old Konica Minolta Dimage A2 out of its bag and checked out the batteries.

I had bought 2 batteries for it years back:
NP-400 @ 1500Mah
BP-400 @ 1300Mah

The battery that came with my K10 is a:
D-LI50 @ 1620Mah

And it is shaped exactly like these two old batteries.

Are all of these batteries interchangeable??? What does the Amperage number (Mah) mean then? Is there any risk in trying these batteries in my K10?

Haha. Thanks to you guys and this thread, I went and I bought and installed a focussing screen for my K10. What a fascinating thing it is! Focussing with my 50mm prime is a joy!

Thanks all.
