Every time is see a discussion like this I keep wishing we had a more formal tech KB at DoCo, Something along the lines of a nicely done wiki would be good. There is a deal of good information lurking down in the forum threads just waiting to be mined.-40hz (September 24, 2012, 08:05 AM)

There once was an Ontarian who's life long dream it was to be a Newfie. One day the man finally saw his doctor about it. The doctor examined him and gave him the prognosis, "Well, if you really want to be a Newfie there is a surgery I can perform, but I have to remove 1/3 of your brain." The Ontarian was so excited, he agreed to do it right away.
During the surgery however, the doctor's hand slipped. The doctor was so upset that he sat next to the man in the recovery room until he woke up. Finally the Ontarian woke up. The doctor immediately explain what happened, and told the Ontarian, "I am so sorry sir, my hand slipped during the surgery and I accidentally cut out 2/3 of your brain instead of 1/3."
The Ontarian looked confused and replied "Que ce que vous dit monsuier?"-Renegade (September 22, 2012, 12:11 PM)
that's a gigabit, isnt it?
The gigabit has the unit symbol Gbit or Gb
The packaging text indicates GB, not
Here's a scan of the packaging text from the 32GB card (I've drawn attention to the area in question by circling it in red):

Man, I need one of those cameras.
Any idea how hard it was to snap this picture with a conventional IXUS? Also, I was all out of self-tan and eyeliner. #yolo #fml :-( (see attachment in previous post)-f0dder (September 22, 2012, 08:09 AM)
Heh, confusing stuff... so the storage vendors using 10^(3n) system is why the 32GB microSDHC card I bought says on the packaging:
1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes-kyrathaba (September 22, 2012, 08:51 AM)
on the .de link, it works like google maps:
- you can zoom in and out with just the mouse wheel (doesnt work with control) and
- it will zoom into wherever the mouse pointer is
Makes it easier to find the interesting bits without killing your wrist with all that click and drag

That would definitely be a godsend -- as the clicking is killing me (arthritis) -- but is this a FF only thing?? The lower map frame doesn't show up for me in IE.-Stoic Joker (September 21, 2012, 03:49 PM)
Gotta tell you - I'm getting the same behavior in Firefox on my computer. If I use the scroll wheel on my mouse within most posts nothing happens; I have to keep moving my mouse around to get it to scroll-J-Mac (September 21, 2012, 01:13 PM)
How you can help
The beauty part is that you don't even have to know Greek to help out. The online interface asks only that you compare the letters on each fragment with the shapes displayed on a keyboard. Lintott told me that the current plan calls for each fragment to be checked five times or so, to take advantage of the wisdom of crowds. Think of it as a variant of the "Captcha" type-in-the-phrase system that's used to block spammers.
