its Volks wagen behind ¡¡¡ it is fantastic, ¡Heaven on Earth¡ that is what that kid,s smile says hope for the future, @tlast

I know mavie he's hard to resist. With that white smile, and those innocent blue eyes I think he either has a pet dolphin named flipper, or is the posterboy to lure kids to join a radical youth group. (by the way... hi)

Ah yes, of course. A friend of mine has a 14 month old baby who know one thing of computers; where to switch them off. And she can even stand up and walk already.

Solo you are so mean (that was one of my favs too), and as Miguel said this dude's different kind of humor is very refreshing. Boo thanks for the other link too, I'm gonna take some time to check it out!

Any time, man. Glad you like it!

Maybe the sky scrapers will sit on elevators. So you can sink it down by one floor. In the cellar, there are people (or elephants?) who push out the lowest floor. Then the building sinks for the next floor... Interesting that most high sky scraper will be built in the new industrialised countries. For us they would not be profitable.

Must be what they do when it's NOT rugby season.

@solo said: No, you will need to do a full install for that. Solo Thanks for the info. However, my question is, will the Window 7 64 Upgrade that comes in the Windows 7 Professional box do a full install from a Window 7 Upgrade install from Vista to Window 7 32. What I am trying to do is install the 32 until I have time to get another video board and extra memory. So I wish to install the upgrade 32 from Vista 32 and than later do a full install from Windows 7 32, which was an upgrade from Vista, to a Windows 7 64. The box comes with two disc, 32 and 64. So I am assuming that I can do a full install from Vista 32 to Window 7 64 using that disc. But will that 64 bit disc do a full install from Window 7 32 b? I know complicated and I may wait unit I have a new video card and memory and only do one upgrade. Again thanks for the info Solo Ken

two good questions! erm, i did birth location but it is up to the user. if you were born at 3am, then you'll have a dark image! all part of the fun. pav

I'm sure some one could 'fathom' it out...

@kwistenbiebel said: The way I see it, Google Earth is obsolete since G maps Streetview got mainstream (as said above). I hardly ever use Google Earth but I very often use Maps. Why would I want to download an app (GE), if G Maps does a far more photoreal thing out of the box straight in my browser...? The logical evolution would be seeing technology developed that extracts 3D from both street view input combined with the satellite top view....automatically. The proof of concept is already there (ThomThom posted it somewhere). I really can't imagine the whole world being modeled by hand for Google Earth. It feels old fashioned, will never be completed and to be honest, the current low poly GE models very often look crap. Have you seen Place Pages on Maps yet? You might reconsider the usefulness of geo-located 3d models. Check out this as an example: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=14784564406270036321&q=cathedral%2Bdakar

@mike lucey said: Final clue! The guy in the picture must have asked, 'What's up Doc?' That's funny, it doesn't look like Bugs Bunny.

I love this...too funny.

Nice photos...holidays when'll you coming back...

I would be interested in helping out, seems quite interesting. I sent him an e-mail, I'll see if it's still available

Well, done. As I wrote before, I hope you are happy with your new job!

Beautiful landscape photos, but IMO it's getting a little ridiculous how much HDRI dominates landscape photography. There are good arguments for it: that it requires some fakery to attempt to represent the stunningness of the real world in a 2D LDR image (and after all, all photography is "fake"), but I've gone off landscape images which are too obviously heavily tone mapped/Photoshopped HDRI composites. I wonder if it's here to stay or if it'll look dated in a few years? I like the shopping trolley/Aberdeen Harbour one best, the photographer really managed to make an otherwise dubious subject absolutely beautiful. It reminds me (the subject, not the talent!) of one I took many years ago with my second-hand Sigma 35mm SLR. [image: yfvJ_trolleysmall.jpg]

You must be kidding me? My wife is a nurse too!

That's pretty good, I met one of the Street View drivers at a C-store once, and he did have a pretty long beard...but he wasn't nearly as crabby
