  1. Ya gotta admit, it's pretty fucking innovative to cancel the product before it's even launched.

    if the laptop has any information about him or his accounts or logins, then the theft of the laptop could lead to identity theft and fraud. Dude didn't encrypt, so he's not a computer expert, so he's probably employed under false precincts, and should be fired.

    it's false PRETENCES not precincts..

  5. Re:Fujichrome and stock tip on Kodak Is Bringing Back Ektachrome Film (petapixel.com) · · Score: 2

    Fuji's T-grain emulsion is superior to kodak.. as someone who has his City and Guilds(yeah.. that old) and who's first job was in photography... fuji t-grain FTW!

    But it's color was garish.

    one man's garish is another man's vivid.
    for work with long focal length and tele-convertors I'd take t-grain over kodak film any day of the week bud ;) Also if you used their 600 film and uprated it to 3200 , popped on a soft focus filter and processed it as 3200 you got pastel portraits the easy way.. they were quite popular in the 80's

    i remember when ilford fp400 was xp400! I worked at a govt Research place in Scotland and we had a GREAT set up and i got spoiled for kit between Nikon f3's, hassleblad's for medium format and the classic 5x4 tech cameras. With our studio being part of the maintainance building we had our own custom studio kit.
    Then I joined the army as a photographer... the kit at the Joint School of [photography(Now the Defence School of Photography) at RAF Cosford was erm.. pretty fucking basic and the first month they issues you something s;lightly better than a box brownie.. i shit you not! Second month you got a nikon f3 and hassleblads cm550's again. I LOVED darkroom work. i am no setting up a home darkroom. It's just getting hold of a decent colour enlarger and a big ass black out blind for the kitchen and i'm sorted!

    I would blame what little success that Theranos enjoyed on Silicon Valley. But when it comes to the failure of Theranos, the culprit is simple: their business model was based on technology that doesn't exist.

    I wonder if PT Barnum's family consider their infamous ancestor a failure...

    not analogous at all really. lives weren't dependent on the result of the "thrill" people got from viewing Barnum's exhibits.

    HP's been a zombie company running on inertia for a long time now. There's no quality behind their products, they're just a brand stamped on crap.

    I haven't considered buying HP in over a decade.

    In Scottish Service Engineering circles we always joked with our new apprentices that when you look at your HP Certification badge.. you'll noticed that there's a sticker on it, and if you peel that, the HP logo comes off and either a canon or ricoh logo was underneath.

  22. Re:Smeg on 28 Years A Smeghead: Red Dwarf Is Coming Back (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I couldn't watch it after the first part.

    You either keep someone up year after year or you leave it alone after a hiatus. Coming back after so many years was a mistake, it didn't work.

    Now if they CAN get back into the flow for two entire series, well done. But I've never seen it happen on any series ever.

    Same with all the other recent BBC remakes - we can't make anything original (without selling it off to Channel 4 apparently), so we'll just bring back actors from 20 years ago and re-try what we did back then. Everything from Open All Hours to Only Fools and Horses, Yes Minister to Porridge. They've all been "re-visited" recently.

    Strange, because the primary complaint about those programs is that the re-runs are shown ENDLESSLY on other channels. I guarantee I could watch one of them right now if I was to channel-surf.

    Red Dwarf was great. Correct tense.

    Red Dwarf 9 - back to earth was totally shite.
    Red Dwarf 10 wasn't so shite but not brilliant.. passable
    Red Dwarf 11 has a budget and it shows AND it's very funny. I quite enjoyed the first episode and if you know where to look you can find it! and see for yourself ;)
    you'll find that this was brought back due to popular demand by the fans.
