Annnnd..... you missed the point entirely. You CAN build a 500x zoom for a p&s. period. Lenses are not special on dslrs in any technical sense of the word. I specifically said that dslrs are more capable of producing better pictures. My recommendations on limiting quality are also more effective than the uninformed "ban all dslr" policy that is in place. Yes, i know that you really can only subjectively measure quality, and sensor size matters when calculating relative zoom, but that isnt practical as a policy. What would be practical would be banning higher powered lenses, and limiting quality of sensor.
So you can act like a smug dick all day, but to imply that the slr aspect of a camera is what defines its capacities is wrong. Just. Wrong.
Then the OP should have read "are big lenses allowed?" not dragging some irrelevant consumer product into it, and misrepresenting that product.
My post stands. I am not debating whether you would go to jail, I am just pointing out that some retard both misrepresented the m4/3 system, dslrs, AND the law all in the same sentence.
I am sure if i search for "london police photographers" i will find tons of stories about the police and photographers. This doesn't mean that that is reality in London. I am sure i could google up some statistically irrelevant cases in NYC as well, but that doesn't mean that carrying a DSLR in the city will lead to my arrest, as it presumably will in kuwait. This is why the OP was flagged flamebait.
neither true nor obvious. lenses are not limited by sensors. you can build a 500x zoom on a point and shoot with no problem. DSLRs are traditionally more capable of better pictures, not better lenses. a better ban might have been a lens over 5x, with a cap on resolution at 8mp.
The right to speech dose not include forcing everyone to listen. More money doesn't enhance your rights to speech, it just makes it easier for people to hear you.

uhh. . . on a kindle you can definitely zoom or show a pdf at original size. You can also search, I just did it.
Granted, reading a pdf on a screen that is smaller than the size the document is formatted for does present challenges, but amazon has done a fairly good job.
what clinics think is a public disturbance, and what actually is are two very different things. many protests have been halted because they crossed that line. just because one person dosent like it dosent make it a disturbance. it is illegal for protesters to cause a public disturbance, end of story.
I dont think that many Christians would call that deception. God didn't abandon Job, and Job didn't think that he was abandoned.
Is it deception when a teacher wont answer questions students have during a test?
Despite your religious views, there is a difference between a test and deception, and nothing in the book of Job really points to deception, except the actions of Satan.
Are you serious? Free speech allows him to write his own website, it doesn't allow him to break theirs. Whether or not actual damages were inflicted is a different issue, much like "Attempted Murder" is just as much a crime as "Murder". The difference is in the punishment.
It pains me to see people honestly think that limiting other peoples speech is protected as free speech.
The above is not a subtle point at all. "sit ins" are by and large not legal at all. Think Abortion center protests. You can protest them, but you can't be a public disturbance, you can't be on their property, and you can't block people from access to the clinic. This is just what he did, he (attempted a) block of the websites, because he didn't agree with them. Instead of using his right to free speech to debate them, he decided to put his political feelings above others rights (free speech, right to assemble(people reading the sites), etc...)
Does the punishment fit the crime? maybe, maybe not, but this wasn't a protest, this wasn't a comment on some forum, This was a premeditated multivector attack on both the rights and the property of others. Just because he failed at it, or did it with a computer doesn't make it less wrong or illegal.
Look at it this way. EA has 5.7 billion in revenue a year, and is a diversified company as far as games go. Zynga has 600 million in revenue, and makes one kind of game only.
Revenue != Income, yes, but these companies are in no way comparable. Its not the same ballpark.
The article is basing numbers off an insider only fake stock trading system, not the free market. Farmville is worth only what people would pay for it, and that is a hell of a lot less than EA. To say that they could buy EA is bat shit retarded.
Slashdot Mirror
But that is not new. Smaller? Yes, but still an incremental upgrade, nothing is new in that product.
Lets call this what it is. . .Apple products SOLD in 2010.
terms like "mirror" don't really apply to torrenting
Okay, but is it illegal? (No)
State vs. Federal. Dont live in Cali. News at 11?

. . . no.

The current police filming incidents are headed to the supreme court, where they will be overturned.
calling bs on this. Provide citations of ANY of the above happening.

Only if by "very similar" you mean "entirely lacking the single defining characteristic".
2 data points now.

try one of the new 139$ Kindles. much faster and noticeably better contrast.

No, thats right, the forefathers encouraged and relied upon open and public DEBATE, not burying their opponents ideas where no one could read them.

Mine went to Junk. you use priority inbox? har.
He isn't waiting for it, no one is, they are just buying/using a product that actually does what they need.
ITS THE NUMBER TWO FARMING BASED ONLINE GAME.
Color me unimpressed.
