    Need Urgent Help!! Charging Lumix Batteries in Japan

    Yes, the charger will work. However, most of the Panasonic chargers use a figure of 8 socket and so the cable can be swapped out for just about any suitable cable that fits. Most common would have to be the 2-pin flat or 2-pin round types. No adapter would be necessary then (for 2-pin flat)...

    Why ah? S'porean Chinese weddings and the "sabo" culture

    Usually, cutting the locks and cutting through the lock on the main-door will do the trick. All that's needed would be a spare lock + keys along with a replacement lock for the main door. Replacing the latter requires only a screwdriver and 5 minutes of my time. :bsmilie: It's fun to destroy...

    Why ah? S'porean Chinese weddings and the "sabo" culture

    Thankfully, my buddies and I have decided that on our wedding days, we'll be bringing bolt-cutters, power sources and angle grinders to utterly destroy the front gates and doors of most houses.. :bsmilie:

    How did you get fundings for expensive equipment?

    I paid for my first camera by designing, building and selling headphone amplifiers. Money for skilled labour was worth quite a lot more back then.

    Which SD do you use?

    It depends really.. I used to think that it was somewhat overhyped until I actually tested out the Ext. III 2GB on my K10D. Although the card is rated at 133X, it's significantly faster than my Twinmos & Transcend 150X cards. And it does not make sense until you look at the fine print on the...

    Any Linux distribution for latest centrino processors?

    For newbies, Ubuntu has Synaptic Package Manager. Easier to use the GUI than command line. :bsmilie: Unless of course, you want to do more advance stuff or are working with the LTS which doesn't come with GNOME by default.
