That is not how cameras work at all. The shutter is typically open for much less than 1/24 of a second even on a film camera. For most shots in The Hobbit, they used a shutter speed of 1/72 of a second.
And no, the digital sensor doesn't get "tired" and need to rest between frames. However, there is part of the time that sensor data is ignored (between frames)
You must have cable or satellite, watching some "hd lite". OTA broadcasts at close to 20Mbps really don't have any motion artifacts. And certainly not on Blu-Ray.
It's no more a problem with digital than film. They can both accept the same shutter speeds and aperture settings and even the same lenses. How can digital exhibit anything different?
Stuttering happens on pans that are too fast. It's because there aren't enough frames. But sometimes we want sweeping panoramic shots at a decent speed. In order to deliver on that, you MUST have a higher frame rate.
If you're capturing only half of the motion blur that people are used to seeing, it'll look weird. I understand that shutters exist and that vision doesn't have shutters, so I'm not arguing against 48FPS but they need to figure out how to capture 24FPS motion blur at 48FPS.
The RED cameras they used for filming do exactly that - All while recording separate sets of frames for both the 24fps and 48fps versions. He may not have made the most aesthetically pleasing choices, but it was considered and attempted to a degree.
More like an attempt to make movies impossible to watch at home in the same form, therefore making you buy theater tickets.
But seriously, most people can see the difference in rates above 30. See the complaints about the "Soap Opera Look" of 120Hz TV's.
Panning and dolly shots look terrible at 24fps if they go too fast. So. much. judder.
Even if the human eye can't distinguish > 60fps (it definitely can), the human retina is not v-synced with the television/screen. So you still need more temporal resolution than the eye can handle for it to appear smooth.
My HTPC stores the original HD transport stream straight from the antenna. 500GB holds as much as I really need. It's not like I keep a show after I watch it. Or are you talking about Blu-Ray rips??? OP was talking about recordings.
Classic movies are perfectly suited for Blu-Ray. Early digital TV shows are the only thing that doesn't look better on Blu-Ray. 35mm film scans at 2K-4K or higher, so 1080p is a downsize from that. If you saw Citizen Kane or Ben-Hur on Blu-Ray, you'd know that classic movies on Blu-Ray can really be spectacular. The original Blu-Ray of The Fifth Element looks terrible. Sony re-scanned and re-released the movie later at a better quality.
If you can't see compression artifacts on a 96" you must be pretty far back or going blind. At 8 feet, I'd be seeing PIXELS on top of just artifacts.
If you spend $15 on a PS don't expect it to run long, and when it does go it could be in a big way.
Which also explains all the cheapskate DIYers who say they still get blue screens in Windows XP and above. Windows hasn't been unstable since ME. It's probably power fluctuations or cheap/underrated caps on the motherboard that's responsible for more blue screens than anything these days.
Yes, but if I'm calling in sick to work, for example, I can round to the nearest degree and it's still fairly clear what you're communicating. Whereas 1 degree rounding difference in Celsius is huge on that small range of survivable human body temps.
It's the tiniest pebble of resistance to changing to Celsius. See the original post. That may not be a good reason at all, but we don't have good reasons. We have reasons in the general sense, and I was just listing them.
We use tenths of a degree for Fahrenheit on a thermometer, too. But in casual conversation you can drop off the decimal and still be somewhat more accurate. I never said I had a strong case or anything - just that there's arbitrary reasons we're still on our scale.
Dividing inches into halves and then into halves again is easy to measure visually. I personally don't like using mm all that often for measuring things just because the lines are too close together. I realize that rulers with inches shows a line every 1/16th of an inch, but the lines are usually different lengths. I don't know why that's not done for even numbers of mm on the metric side. It's a much easier spatial math to me.
No - you may not need a tenfold increase in precision, but Fahrenheit does have double. The difference between 39 and 40 degrees Celsius is almost 2 degrees in fahrenheit.
It'll be hard to pry away from us, too. There's more integers between 32 and 212 than between 0 and 100. So if you don't use decimal points, Fahrenheit is of a higher precision. Even still, when you're talking about temperatures never seen on earth, Kelvin or Celsius still make far more sense.
If it's being bought to resell, that leaves consumers unhappy. They're just trying to make more consumers happy with their brand - an immediate shortage and outrageous prices on eBay would make that happen pretty quickly. Although I agree that one should only limit quantities when there is a very limited supply - such as a manufacturing shortage or it's a sale item that will sell out quickly. And that's exactly what this case is.
I think that context would be used by Google to determine that. Remember, they have all the text from every web page in the world to use to approximate context. Those particular variations of word spellings are tied more to animals and birds. Especially when the words are used close together.
If the receiving end has to pay to receive the message before it can search for the word purple, then that's a bit of a problem too. Of course, the text message would have been illegal to send in the first place, so I'm not sure why it matters. I'm one of the few that are saving money by not paying for an unlimited texting plan. And I'm not going to be bumped out of that plan by the cost of spam.
Not these days. Faked caller ID is the norm now (the calling is usually illegal anyway for those on Do Not Call). The fake number is someone else in your local prefix so you think it's a local call coming in - maybe someone you know got a new number.
They don't want to be blocked by someone who blocks unlisted numbers.

Yes, you do. On high shutter speeds. Same as digital. Motion blur comes from longer exposure time.
I might have been unclear, but its actually recording at two different "shutter" speeds from the same sensor.
You must have cable or satellite, watching some "hd lite". OTA broadcasts at close to 20Mbps really don't have any motion artifacts. And certainly not on Blu-Ray.

They're already making a 24fps theatrical version that has the appropriate amount of extra motion blur. Why would they drop every other frame?
Sorry - link I provided doesn't explain it as well as I thought. I lost track of the article I read about this in.

At that price, just delete shows as you're done watching them, and then buy the seasons on DVD/Blu-Ray. It would save you money in the long run.

I guess I've been thinking in terms of measuring a fever where 1 degree makes a huge difference even in Fahrenheit and not so much the weather.

No - just that we prefer integers. It doesn't take much inertia to prevent a switchover. As the world can see.

And there's no such thing as multiple date formats worldwide. Least of which is seeing an American format date on a US-centric web site.
