Next day (extremely convenient)
Two weeks (you will forget and be pleasantly surprised when it arrives)
3-4 days (you will be stuck in waiting mode, constantly checking the tracking information, unable to do anything until it arrives)

Two weeks. After 1 week: "Good news: Warehouse was faster than expected, you get it day after tomorrow!"

Reader, it did not arrive "day after tomorrow" and if it doesn't arrive during the weekend, Monday will be the "two weeks" mark.

Bad ending: you forgot to pick it up and it's being returned

You'll love the color of our stripes.

Edit: I've been looking into this further and would like to stress that it appears to only be true in the pro sector, and possibly only in 2006. Consumers had 1080i cameras with genuine 1920x1080 sensors by the middle of the year.

In 2006, to the best of my knowledge, you would not get 1920x1080 out of anything, except perhaps the absolute top of the line gear used at, like, the super bowl, and maybe even then.

I'm looking into this again for a script I'm working on and finding some interesting things.

When I wrote this post I was thinking of this article that I'd found a couple years ago. It was originally written in April 2006, at which time they were looking at a pile of variously-pro camcorders, none of which had full-resolution sensors. As you can imagine, I assumed this meant that nobody, anywhere, had a full-resolution sensor in 2006. I'm kinda unclear on that now however.

bad and naughty sensors get put in The Pixel Wiggler to atone for their crimes

i get why there's a WM feature that lets programs inhibit suspending the display, but surely that should be ignored if i explicitly lock the desktop

this post brought to you by i have no idea what is inhibiting suspend. also maybe there should be a way to find out what's inhibiting suspend

Yeah, for some reason the spec doesn't have a method for querying the sceensaver inhibition status, only for requesting it.

However, implementations may provide a way to do that e.g. KDE displays that in the 'Battery and Brightness' in the system tray:
