Magic Lantern was the name of the first image projection system which was developed in the 18th century. This firmware was originally developed in order to exploit some of the untapped capability of the 5D2 video system, and since has expanded into enhancing still features.
Nikon outsources its sensors from Sony. Really that's a pretty unstable situation and likely fleeting advantage comparing to having in-house sensor development.
Otherwise Canon has it all over Nikon. Lens quality (watch any sporting event - the white lenses are Canon's). Support (which is why I went with Canon) is far better.
You really need a good seal to maintain pressure and make it tight enough to keep out microorganisms. It's hard to see how you can do this for free.
Certainly there are scaling problems with this too.
Another thing about this process is that like many ideas for cleaning water it lacks the ability to keep the water clean after it's processed. The residual effect of chlorine and related materials is one of the reasons chlorine is so tough to beat - after you apply it a residual of hypochlorous acid keeps the water safe while it's being distributed.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. (Bush II) and Justices Antonin Scalia (Reagan), Clarence Thomas (Bush I), Stephen G. Breyer (Clinton), Anthony M. Kennedy (Reagan) and Samuel A. Alito Jr. (Bush II) voted for this decision.
The 3 women judges, Sotamayor (Obama), Kagan (Obama), Ginsburg (Clinton) two of whom are Obama's appointees to date voted against it.
This Supreme Court is the pits. Much more partisan than it should be, and radically conservative to the point where the basic idea that the Bill of Rights is not an enumeration is disregarded in favor of a level of strict constructionism that the founders surely did not intend.
War and occupation are two different things. There is no such thing as a 'war of occupation'.
And yes, the US did win the wars in Korea and Afghanistan.
The problem with Afghanistan is there was never a plan or hope or an idea of what to to do with it after achieving a military victory. These are political problems that have no solution addressable by military force. More soldiers certainly is NOT the answer. The Soviets had a far greater force in Afghanistan than we ever did. What result did they achieve? Bankruptcy and collapse of the USSR would be a good first approximation.
The results in Afghanistan are an illustration of the basic stupidity of going to war with no idea what you are going to do after you win the war.
The United States has outlawed discrimination in places of public accommodation for various classes of individuals based on national origin, race and sex for some 50 years now.
I grew up during the time when these laws were being imposed. It sure looked like hate to me when opponents of these laws were out burning crosses and the National Guard had to be called out to protect the first black students going to some formerly segregated schools.
This proposed law is obviously the result of the same thing. Hate.
You are right, The law is MUCH WORSE than it is being portrayed. If it weren't for federal laws such as the Civil Rights Act it would give Arizonans protection from legal action for discriminating based on sex, race, religion, disability and any other damn thing they want.
This is a most disgusting law. It completely wipes out any non-discrimination statutes that the state of Arizona may have had - all you have to do is claim a religious basis and you can do anything you want.
Paying for private healthcare will eat the federal budget. Social Security and Medicaid are much lesser problems.
The US government, RIGHT NOW pays enough per capita to cover healthcare for every man woman and child in the US if our health care system had the same cost per person as Canada's.
All you would have to do to solve entitlements and the long term US budget problems would be install single payer and take the cap off SS wages.
The US armed forces have realized for sometime that the strength of armed forces has little to do with numbers of people in uniform.
The same methods that companies like Ford use to produce more cars year after year with fewer people also apply to the military, only more so because Ford factories don't have to be deployable. Speed, technology and mobility >>> raw numbers.
Excuse me, but a sweeping conclusion regarding a cabinet level department of the United States Government and you can't even get the commonly accepted abbreviation of the name right?
Come on man. You need to do better than that to be taken seriously.
That's how they destroyed their competition and established a monopoly - predatory pricing. Generally SO engaged in differential pricing - high where there was no competition and low where there was competition. This practice is currently illegal. See Jones, Eliot. The Trust Problem in the United States (1922).
SO also used their market power to engage in other corrupt business practices including forcing rail companies to grant rates not available to other companies.

Because the same people try to get competing foods banned.

Brilliant work overall.

This is like asking when you stopped beating your wife.
It assumes a positive that for most people doesn't exist.
Do you mean it's described in meaningless subjective polysyllabic dialog and the results are a social construct?
Surely NOT. This is a scientific result. Rational, objective and modernist to the core.

Far more Americans go offshore for health care than come here.
A currency is used as a store of value. If the value fluctuates as wildly as it does in BTC it's useless.
Bank failures often drag their insurers down as well.

95% of pensions is Social Security.
Military pensions is a tiny number because they don't really amount to anything until you have 20 years or more service. Few people serve that long.

To paraphrase Albert Einstein, if we have a WWIII all following wars will be fought with sticks and rocks.

I bought one myself. Utter crap. Like you I returned it in a few days.
Later when the Commodore 64 came out I was much happier.

Most people have the option of using dialup, wireless, DSL, or one of several tiers of Cable for their internet connection.
Not sure what you are talking about.
It seems to me this is just an attempt to standardize what people are already doing with fakey hackish methods involving bogus certs etc.
This sort of thing is ok in a workplace in the United States, mostly because everyone expects the lack of privacy with using employer's equipment.
Other places in the world offer more privacy in the workplace. Such capabilities could cause some real problems in those environments.
This gets Canada back on the Copyright Shit List?
So what does it take for a Merican to get Canadian citizenship anyway?
In the degenerate case (one transmission of a piece of content to a local server) store and forward is indistinguishable from having local servers.
Which is what Netflix is doing with the ISPs willing to partner with them.
