4GB SD card in a Nikon D50 does not work

Key words and phrases: 
Nikon D50 secure digital card CHA
Description & Info: 

"THIS CARD CANNOT BE USED"

I cursed the card that I picked up cheap at instead of my camera

apologies to Taiwan... the 4GB SD card (Secure Digital High Capacity Memory Card) from Taiwan, and more recently Abacus 24-7 didn't work 'cause the Nikon D50 only accepts up to 2GB. Blast.

Internet Explorer 6 appears to have PNG problems beyond its well-known transparency issues

Key words and phrases: 
IE6, PNG
Description & Info: 

IE6 has extremely weird PNG issues

Microsoft owes me another 4 hours of my life.

Just to let you know, apparently PNGs (without transparency, nothing to do with transparency on the page anywhere I was aware of, though there was a video and lots of other stuff), can simply fail to show up in the image tag. A completely normal img src style tag just doesn't display.

Unsupported operand types in messaging module (fatal error on admin page)

Key words and phrases: 
Unsupported operand types messaging.module drupal
Description & Info: 

On going to any edit a content type page

http://dev.example.com/admin/content/types/promo-badge

Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /var/www/vhosts/dev.example.com/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/messaging/messaging.module on line 982

Which is the second-to-last line of this function of the messaging.module:

<?php
/**
* Helper function for mail methods
*

... and then I realized I didn't end up using the messaging framework yet so I just disabled the module.
