If they find this evidence of volcanoes it will be another nail in the coffin for AGW supporters - unless we can get Al Gore out there to prove that it really is AGW - Alienpomorphic Galactic Warming!!!
Academy masturbation aside "zomg, a WOMAN made a WAR movie about IRAQ!!!", the real reason it had a poor box office showing was that the movie, frankly, sucked. The people who downloaded it were the lucky ones.
I'm going to disagree about who is lucky. I haven't seen the movie so it sounds like I am even luckier!
Up until recently the memristor was a theoretical fundamental circuit element (like resistor, capacitor and inductor - but the are easy to create in the real world). A few years ago they were actually created and there is a lot of interesting things you can do with the technology
I've never understood tipping, really, or rather my understanding is not something that jives with the norm.
My concept of tipping is that is a scam for business owners to minimize tax liability by effectively forcing payroll taxes onto the waitstaff. if not, then why not just build the labour cost into the product price?
... having willfully used WMDs against civilians (carpet bombing, nuclear weapons), continues to stockpile nuclear weapons munitions while chastising the rest of the world for doing so using trade and political embargoes, trades big-brother-style protection rackets to arm-bend smaller countries into accepting U.S military bases, has camps in which they not only 'disappear' but spiritually and psychologically humiliate the prisoners using methods not seen since Vietnam (the list goes on)....
My problem has always been this. If a pharma company releases a drug that is later proven to be a bad idea then you can do a recall and destroy all known stocks. With GM crops you can't do this as once it is in the wild it is in the wild. The TFA has proved my basic point.
I also have the feeling that less time has been spent trialing GM crops compared with drugs.
While it pains me to defend this piece of shit, the truth is that the pretexting was the handiwork of Patricia Dunn (chairwoman of HP board at the time), and the Hurd wasn't involved.
While it's a nice idea, isn't this just a poor man's image stabilization? Even cheap compacts come with some form of IS these days, and high end SLR lenses certainly do.
I think that the key point here is the 6DOF measurement of the camera movement. I will admit to not knowing about IS, but I would guess that it doesn't handle 6 DOF.
Or on the other other hand you could just learn how to use your camera and not get such a shit load of blur in the first place.
That's what I always tell people. The raw light they spontaneously emit from knowing what they're doing will go and light up that dim scene, thus letting them use a faster shutter. It's really quite simple.
I thought this only worked when taking pictures over your shoulder and your buttocks were pointed at the subject?
Unless they can get Farmville ported to an open platform most facebook users will never leave no matter hope open or technically superior an alternative is.
But Farmville *is* an open platform. Anyone can go there and try their hand at farming!
No desk space required... but it will probably retain most of the disadvantages of other trackpads while adding a bit more usability.
My mouse only takes up as much room as my mouse pad. From what I have seen on TFA, my mouse pad is comparable in size to this device. Plus I use a wired mouse, so no batteries needed either. About the only benefit I can see is in multi-touch. But my normal operating paradigm doesn't need multi-touch.
The TFA suggests that this trackpad would be good for editing images. Not having seen the device I can't say for sure, but isn't a finger a little too big and inaccurate to use as a precision targeting tool? If it wasn't then all the high end track pads currently used for editing would be using fingers rather than a stylus.
but medium format is another matter.. 70mm is astounding still and I have yet to see any medium format digital get anywhere near what a cheap 1960's used camera can deliver. I have an old 220 that is 10 years older than I am and it produces insane photographs.
I look forward to the day when I can get a decent medium format digital...
This is the reason why I am in the market for a decent, used RZ-67 (to supplement my Holga!). As a hobbyist I can't afford the $$ to compete on that level with Dig.
But even though I am looking to MF in the short term I am almost starting to desire large format. Dig competing against 8x10 film would be an insane amount of $$, but even when Dig does catch up, you can't emulate the optics of a LF camera in a straight SLR format. I just had a thought - perhaps you go stereo/3D in the Dig camera and do a lot of post processing to emulate the image falling on the film plane.
Sniff.. In one sentence I think I just condemned LF photography and generated a masters/PhD topic for some fresh face kid who is going to go out an make billions in the camera market with his new startup company.

Kinda sad to see the end. Digital is so easy and high quality it is not unexpected. I am sure small batch processing will still be available, but that means you need equipment, chemicals and the knowledge how to use it.

Film photography is not going to go away in the same way that painting didn't go away when photography was invented.
Its funny that the whole relationship between dig and film photography (is it proper photography etc) is echoing the painting/photography debate of a century ago (is it art?)

Its like tipping, nowhere does it say that you -must- tip
And there are places in the world where they pay their waitstaff decent amounts of money so that the customer doesn't have to tip.
You just disproved your own argument
The relatives of the minimalist audiophiles then might get sued for copyright infringement of 4'33" or have to pay royalties when playing that record.
You left out trumped up rape charges.

I almost choked when I red the headline .. "Someone was actualy using Hurd???"
Illegal detention.
Why would you want to detain illegals? Its not like Julian snuck across the US border or anything.

damn ..so trouble does come in 3's
but sadly I'm guessing this is par for the course at this level of "leadership" in most companies.
Yeah but HP also had Carly who was forced to resign. Hopefully trouble doesn't come in 3's for HP.
**Sniff** I remember when HP was a well respected company and its equipment was built like a tank

That I should go check Renta-A-Coder to see if there is any well paying work available!
You left out "Password cannot start with a number" and probably a lot more inane restrictions. "Password is too [long|short]"
