Which waterproof digital camera has the least shutter lag?

Posted on Oct 21, 2009 under Digital news and reports | 2 Comments

I’ve read a lot of reviews for waterproof cameras under $300 and most shutter lag is mostly the complaint. Does anyone have one that has low shutter lag? My budget is $250-$300 and it would have to be waterproof.

Regarding digital distribution, specifically Japanese animation (involves a specific situation, please read)?

Posted on Oct 21, 2009 under Digital news and reports | 1 Comment

Here’s the extent of my knowledge - It is illegal to digitally distribute intellectual property without the expressed written permission of the parties holding the legal rights to that property. It is also illegal to distribute property from other countries, in this case Japan, due to International Copyright Law.

Now, for the specific situation:

On October 13th, a web site called animesfree.com posted that they had just been delivered a notice from his web host stating that FUNimation (an anime localising, licensing, and distributing company in the US) served them a DMCA notice and that they had 24 hours to comply and remove all FUNi content (of which there seems to have been 44 different titles available on the site at the time). Of course the whole situation is incredibly silly, if you see the post about it on their front page, but what I really want to know about is the real legality of things, seeing as how they have a "Legal" page. That page states,

"Animes Free does not host or endorse any of the videos seen on this website. We are a community which embeds videos from popular video sharing websites for community use, much like the way Google indexes websites on their search engine. There are no videos hosted on our servers and we do not take responsibility for the content.

Any complaints or inquiries should be sent to the party responsible for hosting these videos, and not us. Contact references regarding legal issues will be re-directed to this page."

While this would APPEAR pretty clear and reasonable, somehow I think this little loophole just doesn’t really work this way. They say they do not endorse the videos seen on their site, but then if they don’t then why are the videos even there? Isn’t that endorsement? And wouldn’t this situation be similar to that of Pirate Bay, where files were only directed to and not hosted, and yet the legal hammer came down on them anyway?

If you have any sort of insight or other resources, this has been a very interesting situation to me, and I think it would be interesting for others who might visit anime streaming sites or host similar sites.

In addition, perhaps this would have been a decent topic in discussion in the "animation" subsection, however my question is of a legal issue, not exactly an animation issue.

Trying to buy a digital piano - do I need to play the exact unit I’m buying?

Posted on Oct 21, 2009 under Digital news and reports | 3 Comments

Always used acoustic pianos in the past, but want to buy a casio px 130 now. Question is: if I order one online, are they all the same, or do I need to physically play on the exact unit I’m going to walk home with? Is there any advice on where to get the best deal?

Digital or traditional pregnancy test?

Posted on Oct 21, 2009 under Digital news and reports | 4 Comments

I got two digital pregnancy tests, I took the first one a few days before my missed period and it came negative. I still have another digital to take sometime this week, but now after looking around on the net I’ve seen a lot of negative things said about digital tests. Should I go out and buy a traditional pregnancy test?

Significance of an aortic aneurysm versus a digital artery aneurysm?

Should I go with an older, more professional digital SLR (D100), or a newer entry level model (D3000)?

Posted on Oct 21, 2009 under Digital news and reports | 3 Comments

I can afford to either get a used, more professional level digital SLR such as a Nikon D100, or a new entry level model such as a D3000. With the new one, I know I’m getting more mega pixels (10, I think) and the older one is maybe 6. However, though I’ve never held a D3000, a lot of the other entry level models I’ve held just don’t feel substantial. The D100 I use at work on the other hand, feels substantial and strong. Plus, with the D100 I can afford better lenses. Are the megapixels and other features on the newer model worth it? The D3000 is lighter, but doesn’t that mean it’s less tough. I plan on taking this thing everywhere, including the rocky mountains. Less weight it nice, but I want it to be tough also. Thanks.
