really practical is realizing that for displays (TV, monitors) a 2-d shape mode on the chromaticity diagram made of 3 points is smaller than one made of 4.
Your point is that if somehow, for some reason, this new TV gimped the regular RGB while adding a fourth to it. No. Wrong. Stupid.
I wasn't comparing any 3 to any 4, i was comparing any 3 to any 3+1. Yes, that was obvious, yes you were looking to make a childish point, yes, i am right.
Except that NOTHING points to this TV adding this yellow to help dynamic range or finer tuning so to speak, and technically, it won't do either.
What it does do is extend the gamut to include like 1-2% (at most) more colors, but ONLY IF THE SOURCE MATERIAL IS RECORDED IN THOSE 4 COLORS.
It's simple. Yellow to us is now RGB: 255, 255, 0 (or close to that). To utilize the increased gamut of a 4 color TV, it would have to be recorded as RGBY: 0, 0, 0, 255. And even that wouldn't be the same "color" as 255,255,0.
Your post shows a fundamental lack of understanding about colors.
Well, no, not really at all. Analog signal is converted to digital WAY before you see it, and a 3 color based gambit physically cannot display colors that a 4 color one can. Period.
Watching something that was RECORDED in 4 colors (which I can't find any camera's that do that) on a 4 color TV (IF the media supports it, standard DVDs do not) would be better, and that improvement cannot be made on a 3 color TV.
As to your SD vs HD comparison. . . no. The max resolution that SD can display is a DVD (basically). watching a HD DVD re sampled down is going to net you no improvements to quality.
How is that +4 insightful? nothing in parent shows ANY understanding of displays of any kind.
They will probably start adding in commercials to the paid content in a few years, just like they started adding in 2 minute commercials that you have to click to bypass, just as youtube started adding commercials, just as you pay for cable / satellite and they still have commercials. not saying $10/ month isn't worth it short term, but i have started looking for another site to watch shows from, this is the beginning of the end.
It's funny that the people who complain about photoshop aren't the ones seriously using it day-to-day. Yes, the menus are a disaster, but a radical change (Office 2007) will provoke bitching like you have never heard. use photoshop for a month, and the GUI problems fall away, not an excuse, but a fact that the people buying photoshop don't have a problem with the menus.
You never print anything that you care about at less than 400 dpi (as a rule of thumb)
If you are archiving things with a 15 mp slr you are missing ALOT of detail that the prints have. I agree that prints stuck to glass are a challenge, but taking a picture with a current slr is a last ditch option.
Been there, fought lighting and camera distortion for hours, only to get bad quality (relative to a scanner)
Lay the maps out on a uniform surface, take the lid off a nice scanner and turn it upside down and move it place to place. Use rather big (1-2inch) overlaps, because the edges of the scanner sometimes are incorrect. You can make a batch process to crop the edges off in photoshop / gimp.
Most important is to lock down scanner settings so nothing is auto, or you will have colorcontrastluminosity differences between sections of your map.
Stitching these together requires 0 effort in any modern photographic editing software.
This is cheap, gives the best results and is the only way to get good quality without spending a fortune or damaging the documents.
From the other side, the government has hindered the economy from working appropriately. You can't buy insurance cross state lines, medical lawsuits (a govt problem, not a capitalist one) drive the prices of healthcare up and up, limitations on collecting medical bills,and most importantly Medicare paying out so very little (so the doctors must charge non medicare patients more).
Actually ask Doctors and Hospitals where the costs are, they will tell you these things, All of which are goverment created problems.
Give me a break. People still play SC1, and NOT because it has LAN support, or that you could run free copies.
BTW on a lan SC2 will still use local data transfer, it connects to the server to start for 1) hacking and 2) piracy issues. There is just not a real case in saying that lack of internet for authentication will prevent you from playing in a given situation.
As to your other silly points. . . would you not play wow or D1/2 if you know that the story was going to continue in a later expansion? Please.
As to your critique of blizzard's marketing. . . you are aware that they are doing something correct yes? You are aware that you are just a commentator on the internet crying that you know better than the industry leader yes? You do know that this game will sell sell sell and we will all be having fun while you stew at home, not enjoying a great game because the company actually wants to be paid for their work.
Screw it' i am done with you. The reality is that you will buy this game like everyone else and enjoy it. Quit pretending you have such high and mighty values that you will wake the moronic decision to not play a game because the company that makes it wants a return on their investment.
When will people realize that software / computers are -way- more complex than bridges?
As such, Computers / Software are way less of a "product" and more of a "service" than Bridges.
Even the most product like static programs are constantly updated, optimized and fixed.
Just take a look at some of the software we try the hardest to make not fail, aircraft guidance systems. These fail ALL the time, and that's just life.
And it wouldn't be "that" much bigger of a file the relative similarities between each "slice" are fractional of the entire frame. Maybe 5-10x bigger, which isn't "that" much for moving from 2D to a "real" 3D

If anything, greens and purples are the "gaps"
No, purple IS between red and blue, just like yellow is between green and red.
Look at what the RGB gamut actually is, and tell me if yellow is the best place for a 4th point.

And isolate schools from parental influence or complaints.
because parents should have no say in their child's education
if they really like what they do, take the 10m and make social networking sites for the rest of their lives.
Up close any camera will have significant distortion, way less resolution, and be much harder to control in terms of lighting / contrast / brightness.
It might sound good and easy, but for anything archival it is such a bad idea. been there, tried that, went back to a scanner solution.

Truth be told Israel is a state sponsor of terror and it was founded on terrorism.
-Might- want to check how Israel was founded and by whom.
Well, if gluttony is a sin, then yes, statistically bad things do happen mostly to sinners.
No, but the 3 major causes of disease and medical expense in the US are preventable.
Actually ask Doctors and Hospitals where the costs are, they will tell you these things, All of which are goverment created problems.
No, you have to trade 15 hours per week to pay for the medical bills associated with living an UNhealthy life.
Misinformed is thinking that medical bills for a family of four costs less than $100 per month.
