I need a new monitor as my portrait one died. I've decided on a Samsung BX2440, but then I saw this:

Oh god oh god oh god oh god~! I want 1. Errr... Make that 2! Give me 180 degree monitors~!  :huh:  :up:  :D

It doesn't have portrait mode, but I'd forgive that small omission. :P

But at $4k... Ummm... I'll go with the BX2440 for now. :)

I just posted a C# EXIF image orientation gotcha here.

The long & short of it is that you cannot dispose of an image and you must leave the file handle open (locked) in order to get at the metadata, and specifically, the EXIF 274 (0x112) image orientation data. If you clone or copy the image, the image orientation data will not be available.

Hope that helps someone. Took me a while to figure out what was going on.

From the Monty Python YouTube page:

For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It's time for us to take matters into our own hands.

We know who you are, we know where you live and we could come after you in ways too horrible to tell. But being the extraordinarily nice chaps we are, we've figured a better way to get our own back: We've launched our own Monty Python channel on YouTube.

No more of those crap quality videos you've been posting. We're giving you the real thing - HQ videos delivered straight from our vault.

What's more, we're taking our most viewed clips and uploading brand new HQ versions. And what's even more, we're letting you see absolutely everything for free. So there!

But we want something in return.

None of your driveling, mindless comments. Instead, we want you to click on the links, buy our movies & TV shows and soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years.

Simply brilliant.
