Yeah, but if you divide GB by GB the units cancel out... So you just get 1.

I call bullshit. Find the text on the government's copyright website or stop propagating lies. And anyway, the original film prints are still locked up in a vault somewhere and it will be a while before projectors stop being made.
But they can patent the process for manipulating that gene a certain way, or conducting tests on that gene that might produce a certain response,... the list goes on.
...is that while most professional photographers are outraged at the idea of parting with their negatives, on a commercial job, they'll think nothing at all of parting with their chromes (slides / transparencies), which are just as much an original.
More to the point, it's a tough economy particularly for photographers. With the rise of consumer equipment, and everyone and his brother thinking he can take a picture, the business side of professional photography has recently been mired by people who don't have the business knowledge required to be pros. A lot of newspapers, magazines and websites want to use your pictures for free. Why? Because someone who doesn't know better is willing to give it to them just to get a name credit. This makes it tough for the pro to actually make a buck selling his shots, which could arguably be better than what actually ends up published. Exposure and name recognition doesn't do much good if once you've got that, you still don't have anyone willing to pay you...
I think Sony, even moreso than Apple, has enough variety to offer in a boutique store. (I've never been to a Gateway store, so the above is not a comparison...) On the other hand, I'm still surprised that more niche boutiques, like the Bose store or the Bang & Olufsen store, seem to hold up over time.
He knows, much to the chagrin of many people, that his antics keep his books on the shelves where less - colorful - authors disappear from print.
But the sad fact is that I don't believe any of his novels are currently in print, and of his 30+ short story collections, I think only 3 or 4 are readily available.
I really had high hopes for Borealis publishing's Edgeworks series, but they only managed to get 4 volumes out. I'd love to see Memos from Purgatory and Web of the City published in one volume with an updated introduction to the two...
I don't know if saturation == dynamic range. While nothing beats a properly exposed slide, a negative is much more forgiving of incorrect exposures. Hence the latitude the parent post was referring to.
The 20x24 Polaroid is print only. (At least I don't think they ever made any B&W pos/neg film in that size...) I have seen direct color prints made on these cameras in a museum, and the sharpness and color are amazing.
Ok, cheapest I can find the film is a little less than $600 per roll. Unless he's shooting color, which is more like $730 for a 125' roll, which would give him about 83 exposures per roll.
I mean its not as if you're going to get that sized film in a roll, is it?
Actually, I believe 9" film is still pretty standard for aerial photography. At least in the old days, they had to do so much overlap to compensate for the speed of the plane (vs headwinds) and other factors, they'd only end up with about a 5" square of new data in the middle of a frame, and they'd have to overlap quite a bit to stitch together an accurate map.
Interestingly, this is in part why RC paper was developed. Fiber photo paper stretched and shrank too much, and when you're doing things like plotting bomb trajectories, the accuracy of your maps is pretty important.
I think it would be kind of limiting to force your focal plane to always be parallel to your film plane. Sure, it works fine for most 35mm SLRs, but when you're working with a view camera like the one the inventor is pictured with, you often find it useful to tilt your plane of focus while keeping your film plane vertical or at some other angle.
Depth of Field is the area of acceptable sharpness, generally considered to be 1/3 in front of the plane of focus, and 2/3s behind it. It's limited based on a number of factors including lens length (and thus, aperture) and distance to subject. If you were shooting a landscape, and wanted to ensure your foreground was in focus, as well as the mountains off in the distance, you'd tilt the top of the focal plane forward a bit, for instance.
Not to belittle this guy's ideas, but going that far out of your way to keep your lens parallel to your film plane, with that type of camera, seems a bit silly.
$2.00 per gallon would be a luxury. That may be the national average, but right now in California, the cheapest 87 octane I can find is $2.299. I've heard that it's well into the $2.80's in some of the more remote desert areas of California too.
When you buy a CD from a store, there isn't an explict licensing agreement that governs what you can and can't do with the music on those CDs. There's no such ambiguity with iTMS. It's very clear from the first time you run it that you agree to do so with a few restrictions.
This isn't about copyright, it's about EULA, and even if you don't redistribute the songs that you've cracked, you're still violating EULA if you use PlayFair.
Yes, actually, I have played it a couple of times. Hard to find people to play against me, but the best bet I've managed so far was actually played emailing coordinates back and forth for the moves. I've played with writing code that would display the board in different states (or different slices) but it's been a while, and I probably don't have anything that couldn't be recreated with little work.
Like I said, it's been years, but with a bit of work you can come up with formulas or a list of all the possible winning moves. First, listing moves that change in one dimension (horizontal and vertical lines in a plane), two dimensions (diagonals in a plane), three dimensions (diagonals through a cube), and the ultimate 4D diagonals. Hypercube's got, what, 16 corners? 8 3D cubes contained? etc. Don't really have time to re-create it all right here, but it's definitely playable. 625 squares on the board just makes it tough to keep track of.
I always set up my n-dimensional tictactoe boards with n+1 squares per side. 4D would be played on a 5x5x5x5 board, for instance. Also, since it gives you center squares on each plane, that adds more of a challenge...
But as long as the case is open, his name is probably on some list of possible suspects. What's going to happen next time he tries to buy a plane ticket?
You probably don't want an iPod for long text. I converted a couple of books from Project Gutenberg to a string of hyperlinked 4k Note files, and it was kind of a pain...
Welcome screen? Luxury. My family would wake up at 4 AM to collect the old tin cans that we'd melt down to cover used dental floss that we wired our breadboard with. Then our father would beat us, kicking out our teeth, which we'd then have to use to program the assembly code in binary, hence the name "boot code".

There's a good account of Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) and Billy Gibbons (from ZZ Top) taking a ride on a vomit comet (with video). (via Art Bell)

Indeed, but then the goal wouldn't necessarily be to get them done "faster"...

Or not.
Finally, a compact camera. Beats lugging around a 235 lb Polaroid for those snapshots you always want to take on vacation.
