Seriously? With all the welfare out there? > Welfare isn't as easy to get as it is painted... Single males almost never qualify, usually only females and families... But, the scenario isn't confined to just starving desperates, it'd be even more likely with somebody strung out on illicit substances of one kind or other... Even in your case, a packing female, I'd be awful tempted to just grab the purse first if the majority of women were armed, and I had some sort of illegal activity in mind... Like I said, arming civilians only helps the packer when the majority of people are not armed, and play by the rules... Take Care, Dudley

Has Obama moved in any way toward limitation of gun ownership? No? Well, then, has he moved a tad toward favoring gun ownership rights? Yes? Then what is your complaint? Don't believe everything you "hear" from right-wing "news" - doing so can make you looking not very bright... (BTW, your nonsense level is close to rising to my "<PLONK!>" level...) --DR

I was just getting ready to settle for the less expensive >SD4000IS and you hit me with this. <sniffle> Sorry about that. But I thought it better that you are armed with too much information than too little. If CHDK is part of what's making this decision difficult for you, be aware that any of the Powershot models released this year may never be able to have CHDK ported to them. Canon has devised a new encryption routine in their software that nobody's been able to figure out yet. Porting CHDK to them could be another year or never, on any recent and future models. You might actually be better off buying an earlier model of compatible camera if you want CHDK's features. This way you could have both, a very inexpensive 2-3 year old CHDK compatible camera, and the SD4000 you were thinking of getting. If considering the G10 for an earlier model, note too that that number somehow got skipped over by CHKD developers. Though a few are trying to learn ARM disassembly on their own and doing a port for it (it's a huge learning curve). None that had previous porting experience at this actually purchased that camera model so it got passed by. See the list on the right side of the main CHDK Wiki page for all 50-some models it's been fully ported to.

Those that have the ability to port CHDK to cameras never had one of those Powershot models in their hands (so far). Those that had G10s didn't have CHDK porting skills. It has nothing to do with camera popularity, just whoever has the disassembly skills and which particular Powershot camera(s) they happen to have in their hands at the same time. Porting CHDK to a new camera really requires that the programmer have immediate access to its workings so they have real-time feedback of what their code is or is not doing correctly. |
