    OT: 256mb xd card in my Fuji A303?

    Ok, so I have this Fuji A303 Digital camera. The box and Fuji's documentation says it supports 16-128mb xd picture cards. But, like so many things these days, the box doesn't tell the whole story. I basically want to know if a 256mb xd card will work fine in my camera. If it won't, why not. :D

    SETI vs Screensavers

    He's a new one for me, I just noticed that SETI literally chokes Microsoft's screensavers, and some 3rd party screensavers to the point of crashing, namely 3d ones. What gets me is, SETI is running in low priority, yet the screensaver won't run. Any ideas?
