I've heard bad reports from a few photographers who went that the staff were incredibly hostile & overbearing this year - in particular demanding that photographers pay the entry fee to take photos *outside* the convention centre where it's public pr...
"Ayacon (University of Warwick, near Coventry)"
Ayacon *used* to alternate between University of Warwick & University of Leicester, but I don't think it's been held at Warwick in at least 3 years now... it's been Leicester time & time again.
There'...
I'm beginning to hate Alter for releasing too many gorgeous figures for my wallet to suffer at! 1/7 Shin Sonic Fate cost me >£175 & now I'm going to have to get this one too!
I just preordered the sword version & was thinking that I should have got the gun version instead, but after seeing these photos - I'll just get *this* gun version too!
I've been using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to keep my photos organised for a number of years now. I don't like some of the changes they made in the transition from 1.x to 2.x, in particular that you can no longer have collections inside collections &...
I have to agree that this comp is a bit biased towards the people who happenned to visit the site first, because there are so few answers in the sensible range (30-120 ish). At least with guessing the time of a photograph with hours, minutes & second...
Weird, I was thinking about starting a similar thing this year, either "Daily Desks" or "Weekly Workspaces". No idea whether I'll manage to keep it up though...
Anybody happen to know what bag Danny has there in image ID#83931 ? I've been looking for a shoulder bag that will accomodate my laptop & my dSLR (with battery grip) but so far haven't found anything suitable :(
My bank back home had a separate room for ATMs which was accessible by sweipe card after the bank closed. Somewhat unusual, but certainly made you feel special when you swiped into your bank at 1am!
The all white & all red versions that are available in the UK don't look too bad, particularly because they come with matching accents on the lenses.
Even so, they retail in the UK at £599, whilst my Pentax K20D was £639 & is an infinitely better ca...
Me uses Windows, Mac OS & Linux on a daily basis so I get the best of all worlds. Then again I am a Computer Science student so it's hardly a common arrangement...
Desktop (in my room) runs Linux with Windows VMs for Photoshop/Lightroom stuff, lapto...
The UK have Firearms Units & Armed Response Vehicles. Normal officers don't carry them, as there is no need, but they can call in their friends who do at minutes notice.

Y'know Danny, some of us UK people are going to start to get offended soon at you constantly badmouthing the place. I know it's not the safe-haven that Japan is, but the vast majority of it is nowhere near as bad as you make out.
Depends on which part of the UK. Back in Rugby where I grew up, I would never dream of leaving any of my possessions in public like that. But here in St Andrews I will happily leave my bag/jacket to save my seat whilst I go to the bar to get another...
I never skip breakfast, but at the same time I've never been able to stomach a cooked breakfast (bacon, eggs, sausage, etc.) so I stick to something milder like cereal or toast.
I'm still sad I won't be able to get the Nanoha/Fate school uniform Figmas (Nanoha is an exclusive with the PSP game which costs over £100 shipped & taxed which is too much for a figma! Not sure what Fate is being bundled with?).
Though I just pre-o...
Over here knives carried without an explicit reason have to be less than 3" in length & of the folding variety where the blade folds into the handle. You're not allowed to carry a knife that doesn't fold, or even one that locks into the open position...
If you actually read up about that event, you'll realise that he didn't hack OS X in 2 minutes. He came to the competition with a ready-prepared hack that he probably spent many days or even weeks preparing at home. All of the news sites reported it...
I find it slightly ironic that I can illegally downlaod Snow Leopard faster than Apple can ship it to my door, or before my local Apple store opens in the morning. Because OS X comes with no copy protection, activation or serial numbers, we don't eve...
