yeah, you guys got robbed last year on a touchdown call if i remember, ND looks about the same as last year, no offence and decent defense... should be a good one

except their not gonna have the luck they had last year. not just the michigan game, but every game they played in last year they won on totally lucky bounces that i'd never seen in my 15 years of watching football. they showed their true selves when they got creamed by usc.

this year will be different.

back to cameras :)

anyone gonna get a canon 300d? i think i'm gonna get one...

My mom just got the Kodak EasyShare DX6440 Digital Camera. We've taken quite a few pictures, but I was just wondering how this camera rates with the others out there. We also got the EasyShare dock and printer so you can make 4x6 pictures straight from the camera which is pretty cool. I'll have to start taking some pictures. :D

That night shot is amazing. How did you get it so clear? Mine always come out blurred.

What I've found is that night shots from a distance are best done without a flash. That of course depends on the amount of available light entering the lens. Shots of the moon for instance would be dark and blurry. If I had taken the same shot with the flash on then the cam would have absorbed the flash fill and washed out the shot. I took 600 shots over 5 days and will probably delete 200 of them. I typically shot each pic in B&W, Color/Auto, Color/Manual/Iso100.

Thanks for the info. I do agree with the above tips. For scenic night shots I always leave the flash off and I set the ISO speed as high as possible. (400 typically as this allows for more light to enter the lens) Are you using a tripod by any chance? Perhaps I just don't have a very steady hand.

keldyn, be very wary of using anything higher than iso 100 on any non-slr camera. you will get TONS of noise. if i recall correctly, you don't have manual controls on your s400. if you use night mode, it will set your exposure pretty slow, probably like .5-1sec. unless you are using a tripod, you will get tons of camera shake, giving you a blurry image. if you have manual controls, you could speed up the shutter, and open the aperature as wide as possible, thus letting in enough light, but preventing camera shake. your other alternative is using a tripod, or setting the camera on something sturdy.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.

      Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
