(Is the term "form" correct in this context? -- don't answer that.)When a brand name comes into general usage to represent a class of items, the name is said to have been "genericized" or to have undergone "genericization." "Generified" and "generification" are used in a similar sense. At the end of this article, you'll find a long list of trademarked names that are often used generically, including "Jacuzzi": "Genericized trademarks (or, in British English, genericised trademarks) are former brand names, once legally protected as trademarks, which have since come to signify ...... - 2008-11-18

Hi- I've got a few questions. I'm not a super teched out guy so please bear with me.

Even with Rooney on the squad at Everton last year, it was Radzinksi who was probably the most consistent scorer on the team.

» Need Night Photog Help!

Alright, here's the deal. I have a Nikon Coolpix L1 6.2mp point and shoot camera. I like it most of the time, but in low-lighting conditions it SUCKS. I can think of maybe one or two night pictures that have ever turned out from this camera. It has a built in blur warning which I always leave on, and EVERY time I take a low-light shot, no matter what settings the camera is on, it gives me the warning message telling me it's blurred. What do I do?! Is there a trick to it??? I can't manually set ISO or anything at all with this bloody thing, just exposure comp basically. And no matter what I set that to (I usually work at -1.7) it blurs. Is there anything I can do?Hello Verbal ...i'm not familiar with your model camera and uns...... - 2008-11-18

» Horizontal Lines in video Playback

i'm using a build from about 15th August and am getting Horizontal lines on videos both XVID and DVD sources. These aren't interlacing lines and are a lot wider and are appearing on video that is not interlaced and the interlace method is set to none in the video control panel. The problem has only has arrived recently, and is not seen when the 'low quality pixel shader' renderer is selected. This is ok for me to change to this until I need to use an interlaced DVD in which case the BOB deinterlacing appears to work in the "high quality pixel shader" mode only. I use 720P mode for display.

» Empty string as ComboBox entry text

Hi all, I wonder how I can setup an empty string as one entry in a text/value ComboBox. If I declare an empty string as the "text" representation, the dropdown dataview renders the row with zero height plus padding. If I declare   as the text, the dropdown dataview renders fine but the combo's textfield shows the undecoded HTML representation. How would one go on about that? Thanks, StefanWould you be able to include an ' ' in your item template? ie: ...ComboBox({ ... tpl: new Ext.XTemplate('{your_display_field} Thanks VinylFox, I guess that's the way to go then.

» "new" to film photography : slide or negative?

I've already explained elsewhere why I'm "new" to using film instead of digital... anyway : being my primary objective having good scans of the best pictures made by a lab and then using the resultant files as the images produced by a digital camera, would you suggest negative or slide film? I can suppose that scanning slide film can give better results than scanning negatives because of the brownish color of negative film to "remove", so the negative scan is more "processed", but I've also heard that slide film is less "tolerant" to under/over-exposition and thus more "difficult" to use...I wouldnt say slide is more difficult to use. If you underexpose negative, you still lose 2 stops of info. I've never scanned emulsion, so I don'...... - 2008-11-18

I have seen the Better bounce card site and then found the Lumiquest Pocket bouncer http://www.lumiquest.com/lq871.htm Will work well for portrait work? or would this be better: http://www.abetterbouncecard.com// ThanksThose two things have a major difference. The 'better bounce card' (or any simple bounce card) is used when you are bouncing most of the light off of something like a ceiling or wall etc. The card just directs some of the light forward. That particular lumiquest product just directs the light forward with no bouncing off of the wall or ceiling.
