I had the lens pointed up. It was sitting on the camera-end cap. I was not holding the zoom ring for this test. It held the zoom for the test and remained fully extended.

In case it matters to the issue the lens marking reads: “Canon Zoom Lens EF 28-135 mm 1:3.5 - 5.6 IS”

I just tried this - Lens is off the camera (and has a lens cover for both ends) sitting looking straight up. I turn zoom ring until the lens is fully extended. I wait a bit then I check for zoom movement and found that the lens was still fully extended.

I don’t know if this is a valid test because sitting on a table - the lens is not getting any electricity from the camera body.

I can’t say for sure, but I think I had my hand on the zoom ring. The moon will still be full enough tonight perhaps I will try again. I looked up “Focus Breathing” and I am not sure what it is really talking about.

I guess we will see how that works for me? Thanks for the hint Redd : ^ )

Thanks for the hint. : ^ )

A lot - a moon mostly filling the frame to a moon in 1/9 of the frame

When one of these guys attacks your site, do they send the info back to the spoofed address or does the scraped info go to their real IP address? Is there some way to get a fix on the actual bot and not on some home user that got his network facing IP address hijacked?

But you can still do 64 bit math on a 32 bit processor, if you have a carry/borrow flag.

Nah, all this is solved with star-dates. One of the Federation’s crowning achievements - Warp Drive is small potatoes compared to getting hundreds of delegates from as many different worlds to all agree on one calendar system that is not based on their own world’s orbit around its primary… Diplomatic impossibility, but they managed it.

<Padme mode> Hopefully we are all working on 64 bit dates, right? right? </Padme mode> :^)

Well you are ready to open your own E-Sports training shop! You just need 15 gaming computers and a beefy enough server to run whatever game-servers you might want. (I hope you choose to host a minecraft server in the mix though)

Well, I am not in Australia, but so far my AT&T Uverse has worked well. We don’t need the VOIP or TVOIP we use our cell phones and don’t watch TV so it’s all Internet.

The central office at the other end of that fiber probably has emergency generators too.

In an area power outage, if one keeps the router alive via UPS does the router have anything to talk to? In my case I am “Fiber to the node”, there is a box on the sidewalk at the other end of the block that receives the fiber, then copper to my house.

@ComradeMiao : Ondsel? I did see a post that they were going to quit.

Is there a version of Sketch up for Linux?

Packing dishes you can also use your clean kitchen towels/dishcloths too. Number your boxes too: 1 of 20, 2 of 20. Borg like.

Does that mean, to play minecraft on their server I would put “www.dududu.com” in my Minecraft client?
