if money is of the essence, get a dslr - you'll probably get more bang for the buck and the auto-modes are just as easy to use as the ones on the MILC. (and manual modes are easier still, because of more control-elements)
if it's not about the money, the MILC gives you the smaller package. if you like to photograph on concerts, the MILC is the way to go - i've been denied entrance more than once, because a DSLR is considered a "professional Camera" whereas the MILC is not.
having said that - you'll get good pictures with both of them, it's lenses, lighting and first and foremost the photographer who makes a good picture.
go into a store, try both and buy whatever feels best in your hands. you could also bring your own memory card, and compare the pictures you took at home.
for a MILC i'd go with the micro-four-thirds system. the sony-nex series seems to be quite good as well but you won't have as big a choice of lenses as you get with the m43
DSLR:
+ more lenses, more accessoires
+ cheaper (and bigger used-market)
+ seem to focus faster
+ real viewfinder (useful if you need to take a pic in bright conditions)
+ better manual controls, if needed
- bigger, heavier, lenses also tend to be heavier
MILC
+ smaller body, prime lenses (no zoom) can be quite small
+ the best camera is the camera you have on you
+ option to use as good as any lens out there with the right adapter (but you'll have to use most of them manually - so at least as complex to use as a dslr, probably more complex because of lack of manual controls on the camera)
- more expensive
- less accessoires
just read the beginning of the email exchange. he's right, when he says the customer started it. maybe it's unprofessional to lose one's temper with a customer who clearly wants to annoy and insult.
and saying afterwards, that you would have reacted otherwise if you had known who you were talking to also makes you pretty much a dick. so, i would feel sorry for him for loosing his job after loosing his temper. but he probably deserved it anyway for being an asshole.
but as anonymous_freak pointed out - if your hypothetical mother had used vlc, it would still be on her device. and she could still watch her 12-minutes xvids
well, she could use some commercial media-player app like oplayer to play back her movies. playback-framerate is slightly worse, but on the other hand, it does play more formats and doesn't crash after 12 minutes like vlc did. there are alternatives - but they are nearly as bad as vlc for ios was.
they were a different style than 1 & 3 (more story, jokes less shallow).
but i absolutely agree with you, that "Benders Game" was worst.
Lame story & the same joke repeated over 2 hours.

+1 point for paranoia
