Yeah, the space thing is a minor bother although I can't help but be reminded of this:
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Zm32ZPvGIYY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZm32ZPvGIYY I laugh when I hear a motor drive and "ker-chunking" shutter depicting a dslr. Happens all the time. I guess it just sounds more dramatic. Or perhaps its something akin to why tv or movies so often give us the screech of car tires - when the car's on a dirt road. Can you say "Dukes of Hazzard"? I knew you could... ;-) cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Bruce Walker <bruce.wal...@gmail.com> Sent: March 2, 2013 3/2/13 To: Pentax Discuss Mailing List <PDML@pdml.net> Subject: OT - two unrelated complaints I have complaints about two things that are unrelated except that there's nowhere useful to complain about them, so I'll unload here. 1. Why do forms that expect a credit card number reject spaces? When you enter a credit card number in an online ordering form, it would make sense to enter the groups of digits with spaces between so you can easily see if you got them right. But no! As soon as you hit Next, the form clears and you get an error message about an invalid card number. Developers: how fucking hard is it to ignore the spaces!! Assholes. 2. Why do radio and TV ads depicting camera shutter presses still insert the sound effect for a film-era motor drive? Wake up you ad-creating doofuses!! It's not 1995. I feel ever so slightly better now. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
