  1. Sorry, can't help. The best I can do is the 26th anniversary video, and maybe I have the 25th anniversary video around too, but that only goes back 17 and 18 years and I'm pretty sure there's no round stuff on there.

    I have no issues looking antique and ancient to all the hip people smirking at being lightyears ahead, with a device thats outperformed in anything beyond surfing and checking email by the cheapest of laptops:D



    I don't disagree with that. I prefer to let two to three years go by before I buy the latest and greatest thing, just so the pioneers can find all the bugs in the equipment before me.

    My current cell phone is just a cell phone; no camera, no browsing, no texting (as far as I know). Oh, it does have the ability to store phone numbers.

    Whats the use in editing with an ipad, if web is the only way of getting stuff on and off..



    Wireless is the wave of the future, my boy. It may seem odd now but I bet 20 years from now you would laugh at yourself for posting that opinion.

    ... getting closer and closer to Star Trek reality.

    ... where there are no obese people to fall out of harnesses.



    Oh, they're there. They are just encouraged to stay out of sight so they don't offend the general public.

    You can't grab 8 meg stills from video. Video by definition, can't be more than 1.9 pixels, no matter the size of the sensor.



    Did you misplace a decimal point there?

    Well, if you're doing video for hire maybe you won't be comfortable buying a refurb. For me, though, I will just be videoing my friends so I'm going to jump on this $289 offer.

    The SonyStyle website isn't too clear about what comes with the camera. If I buy one will I get the battery, charger, cables, etc?

    If anybody's interested I did buy a refurb CX-100 at SonyStyle when it was offered for $289 and the battery, charger, cables, etc. did come with it. That thing is so cute.

    Now I have to wait for the Hypeye D pro be in stock again, and get a lens. This weekend I get to cut into my helmet.

    After an injury at LP in 2008 I took off some time to heal my shoulder ...



    Will you be coming to LP this year? Your absence was noticed last year.

    I'm a complete camera noob, but I don't know if I'd trust a refurbished camera in FF.

    What's wrong with the PRO Duo cards? I hadn't heard anything.

  12. I can't stand it when someone greets me with "how are you?". I feel like going into a five minute monologue about my projectile diarrhea and having to have the corns scraped off my feet.





    I'm kidding.:ph34r:

    Her doctor that artifically enseminated her with 8 more kids after she already had 6 kids should be castrated.



    I didn't know you could select how many kids to be 'enseminated' with. Isn't biology wonderful.

    Those are not stills, those are frame grab and are of a really low quality.



    Explain that to me. How does a camcorder record in high definition but a frame grab is not high definition?

  16. I remember seeing a show on the Discovery Channel maybe ten years ago. It was an hour-long show on extreme sports and one of the segments featured a free fly competition.

    One of the competitors was a recent AFF graduate (really, he had less than two dozen jumps) but he had many, many hours of wind tunnel time. I believe he helped build and then began instructing at the Pigeon Forge wind tunnel. They interviewed him and he was full of confidence. He predicted he would be the winner. The video of his jump showed another story. He was all over the place and my guess is that was because in the open sky he no longer had a wall just a few feet away to use as reference. In a wind tunnel you know immediately if you're starting to drift sideways. I'm just sayin'.

    There are three ways to spell the word to, too and two, get it right!



    There's a period after the word two, and the first letter of the word "get" should be capitalized.

    Less than a week until I get my ball lift surgery. Hopefully this will help me out with all the ladies.



    I hear it makes things look longer, same with shaving.:ph34r:

    An aircraft towing a glider has right of way over everything else as they are not very fast or maneuverable.



    An aircraft towing a glider does not have right of way over a balloon, for the reason you mentioned.

    I live in a 40 mph zone, but cars scream by at 50 or so regularly. :S



    Oh, I don't think going 50 in a 40 mph zone could be considered screaming by.
