5/4     Which Canon dSLR should I buy?
        \_ The cheapest one you can get away with, and the most expensive
           glass you can afford. Camera body depreciates 1/2 every 18-24
           months. Plastic kit lenses depreciate at about 15-20% each
           year till they're worthless in about 3-5 years. Good glass
           (constant f/2.8 and below) hardly ever depreciate, and some

4/17    I never went to film school or even studied cinematography. Maybe
        that's why I don't get Pulp Fiction. Can someone explain to me
        why it's so great?
        \_ so ignoring the trolls for a second, let's assume you don't have
           to enjoy a film to internalize why it is notable.  The
           cinematography is good, but this is not why people fawn over it.

12/29   Hello, I am a film/digital SLR shooter [i.e. I care about DoF control]
        but I am considering buying a Canon G10 to have something small I can
        carry around all the time and take into "hazardous conditions" where
        I would not bring my SLRs [water, climbing, other hands free/bag free
        situations]. Any thoughts on the Canon G10 ... limitations an SLR
        person would care about? Alternative/comparable models to consider?

12/6    I'm looking for a really fast 35mm film scanner. I have a bunch of
        35mm film that I'd like to digitize then toss away. What's a good
        35mm film scanner these days?
        \_ you probably want to stick with Nikon.  what you are looking for is
           not actual speed of scanning, but rather, those "automatic dust
           removal" that actually works.  Removing dust via photoshop is going

7/17    Summer camp sure is a great place for middle aged guys to flirt
        with teen girls by the pool.
        \_ Are free condoms available like in the Olympic Village?

              meant to ask "What excuse does a middle-aged guy have to be at a

7/7     I haven't been to Berkeley lately. Has it been foggy at night? Wanna
        take my girlfriend up to see the view from somewhere near SSL. Also, is
        there a particularly good lookout point?
        \_ No not foggy, but that looks to be changing. Lawrence Hall of

        \_ Here's something right about 20something women:
           They give out blowjobs when they aren't sure they want to sleep
           with you. Scratch that, when they aren't even sure they like
           you. It's become the equivalent of a goodnight kiss. As a
           comedian said (I forget who), young women today do things that

10/28   I am a perfect man and I am never wrong. I tried to read the following
        color blindness test and I cannot read it even though people around
        me claim that they can read it. I think this is impossible because
        I am a perfect person and I don't have color blindness and I find
        it impossible that people can read it. How does it work? How much
        time did you guys spend to "get it"? This is an impossible test.
