I assume the obvious difference is going to be the depth of field or DOF.
The Galaxy will have oodles of it but lacks the ability to isolate the subject, the Canon will make a nice sharp shot on the subject leaving the surroundings vague.
And then there's this thing with zoom/ interchangeable lenses...
For obvious reasons I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account yet Facebook mailed me with the positive message I should join them so I could communicate with good friends like *name1*, *name2* and *name3*.
Meaning my daft sister and a somewhat remote cousin/journalist had stupidly and carelessly dumped their adress books on Facebook who dutyfully analised their input for links and found me as a common point.
I have cursed both and written Facebook I was not impressed by their spying.
Strange enough they did supply a link where I could free myself from receiving further mails from them.
But for eternety I'll be watched by them and those they deal with, see my sig.
Uh no, I understand very well how fracking works, it's (a small) part of my job.
I agree some of the chemicals used in the US fracking business are unpleasant but the quantities are very small and like fracking of a one-off nature.
All oil and gas wells produce 'associated' water and it is always a health hazard, similar to the oil and condensate from the same wells.
In other words, when treating the fracking chemicals exactly as the associated water from these wells there is no health hazard at all.
Other countries have regulated the type of chemicals used, this has not at all stopped companies investing in those places, the process depends mainly on water, sand (a ceramic called proppant) and high pressure.
Oh yes, the frack itself costs per well between half an hour and maybe two hours at the most, plus a couple of days rigging up and down.
But first, I don't see any real evil here. The ground around a working oil well is a messy place. You can't help but spill a little, and there's no malfeasance necessary to occasionally spill a lot (what you and I would call a lot)
Crap, there is absolutely no reason to spill either at the drilling site or during transport, all it takes is some solid regulation.
Every time I get gas, at least one drop hits the pavement, no matter how hard I try to tap it off.
In Europe filling stations have, by regulation, a spill proof surface and all runoff goes via a separator.
Over here in The Netherlands, a very large gas exporter, the same applies to drilling and production sites.
I totally believe Aruba when they say they did everything they were supposed to do.
Now there I might agree, in Texas there isn't much you are supposed to do...
I don't know the outfit but they are a reasonably size independent even though on a national or international scale they are tiny and could dissolve overnight without hurting the national energy market.
1 or 22 wells, it doesn't matter.
If these wells are engineered and drilled in a responsible way there will be absolutely ZERO chance of polluting ground and surface water.
The problem is a lack of regulation and cowboy outfits that often disappear overnight.
You are one of the few getting these problems regularly. deal with it.
Better ask yourself, why does the neighbour get these ailments but the workers on site seem to be unaffected?
I agree, in the US there have been bad fracks, mainly due to lack of responsible environmental legislation and thus shoddy engineering but here the complaint is about what happened above ground like fumes.
Car emissions are regulated, not so the huge Diesel engines used in the industry.
I work worldwide in the industry, the US as about the only developed country that is so lenient towards the oil companies.
There also is a lot of bad journalism like the ever present mentioning of chemicals being used, hardly ever do these stories name those chemicals or the quantities used (~0.5%, mainly Glycol, some anti-bacterials)
Never do they mention that all oil and gas wells naturally produce very unhealthy water, this is normally disposed off in an environmental safe and responsible way, like re-injecting it back into the formation it came from.
Frack water, including it's small traces of chemicals should and can be disposed of similarly.
But the typical small cowboy-style frack operators sometimes go for the cheapest option local law allows them to get away with...
Please moan about these oil companies, but start by moaning about the regulators!
That's why transport or infrastructure should be separated from media or content.
Like I can chose from who I buy power or DSL, including TV and telphone, even though there is only one power line and one telephone or fiber cable to my house.
But I live in a democracy mainly run by and for the people...
(as a foreigner) I am not fully aware of the possibilities of a PAC but I don't see it as a democratic problem when like-minded people band together to push a subject, compare it to starting a political party.
What makes it bad and undemocratic is when the democratic principle of one-man one-vote is breached because some can contribute vastly more to 'their' PAC than others can to an opposing PAC.
I did cast a wide net, the adversaries of Israel might or might not be the same as the rogue states.
What they do have in common is a wish to drive Israel back into the sea and they usually consider The West an accomplice of Israel or vice-versa.
The stuff produced for large screen HD is typically done with lenses that by themselves have a great bokeh as it is called, no need to have processing done by Google.
And by consequence you must have endured many instances where this 'isolating of the subject by minimal depth of field' was intended to be part of the scene.
It seems you have forgotten or never heard of the fact the allied Arab governments of the Arab states that attacked Israel in 1947-48 ordered Arabs living in what is now Israel to leave their houses and towns so they could kick out the Yews.
You also seem blind for the recurring fact no Arab government wants to admit these well educated Palestinian refugees in their own country.
This all does not make good the illegal settlements the Israeli's continue to build on what effectively is occupied Jordanian and Syrian land.
Exactly, at this point Russia needs to divert some American attention and power to the East, away from it's grab for power on the borders of Western-Europe.
The Israelis would use a nuclear bomb as a last resort to keep what they have, a tiny strip of land.
Their adversaries and a few other rogue states and groups are not above using a nuclear bomb to get what they want, a tiny strip of land or even the whole western world.

Sorry but it is over a 'restricted' area, wait till it's back over Disneyworld.
That phone was awesome!

In relation to the EU rule this is a non-issue, unrequested traffic shaping is not allowed, period.
This is not the ISP's being in a position to milk the service and content providers.

Using the means available is their lawful right.
You do get only billed by the power generator but the distribution part is a separate charge.
You know, a couple of years ago someone invented 'Proportional Fonts', the idea being it saves paper and is (much) easier to read.
Especially in a country that hides toilets and WC's behind doors marked Restroom, Ladies and Gents or even Powder Room.
But no, we don't agree.

Oh?
The Cheney administration was probably the best thing that could have happened to the foes of America.
Exactly, at this point Russia needs to divert some American attention and power to the East, away from it's grab for power on the borders of Western-Europe.
Uhhh, there was no error, it was wilful cutting costs by simplifying the design by the contractor.
