Umm, no, highest quality 3MP is uncompressed TIFF files on this camera:)
I'm shooting at the highest compression for 3MP pictures on a Kodak DC4800 (there is a 2MP mode on it as well, which I'll investigate when I get home).
My 3MP gets 35 pictures per 16M card, so I could see a 2MP getting around 50 or 60 (depending on the agressiveness of the jpeg compression).

I know it's elitist to say this, but what happens is that Windows users will make the tradeoff of malware to allow them to steal music and other content. They don't protest, because deep down they know what they're doing is wrong.
Not really.
Being both a Linux user and a Windows user, I don't tolerate any kind of adware or spyware either.
The typical windows user:
* Does not understand that AdWare/Spyware/Malware is acutally on thier computer * Does not understand how AdWare/Spyware/Malware gets on thier computer in the first place. * When they realize it's on thier computer, they will often belive it's nessecary for software to function. (I tried cleaning up my sister-in-laws Win98 PC, and she immediately blamed me for screwing it up the first time something didn't work the same way -- that's the only real anecdote I have, as I stay the bloody hell away from that kind of job). * Assuming they realize that it's on thier computer, and they realize they don't have to live with it, then they can get rid of it. Once. But being able to get rid of it by getting a friend to install AdAware and Spybot S&D in no way affects thier ability to detect it on thier computer, or realize that something might be installing it.
Comparing Windows to Linux in this regard is just ignorant. There are is basically no Malware/Spyware programs on linux (I know there's some Adware out there, but I can't imagine it being terribly successful). And Linux users as a whole are self-selecting in this regard, and are used to having to live without software that they'd like to use.
That, and there are several pieces of very popular Adware (MSN Messenger for example) that are sufficiently useful to outweigh the cons of it being Adware.
So, really, the windows users who put up with this garbage simply because they don't know any better and trust the companies when they claim this garbage is nessecary, or that they choose to put up with the Adware to use a program that they want to use.
I also find it ironic that you're saying piracy is a tradeoff for running adware, when any person who is going to pirate things won't think anything of cracking adware to get rid of ads...
BTW, if you think Linux users don't pirate media, you're on fucking crack:)
Bad movies are a dime a dozen. Just crack open the MST3K episode list, and you'll have an infinite supply.
A better challenge is finding the most Mediocre movie. Not too good, not too bad. Exactly at that point where, while you can remember seeing the movie, that's about all you can say about it (one way or the other).
Personally, Operation Dumbo Drop did it for me. Absolutely average and mediocre. Not really bad, because it accomplished pretty much everything it set out to do without being incompotent about it. Not really good either, because what it tried doing was so pointless and banal.
Anyway, what are some other Truly Mediocre movies?
That's called Rotoscoping, and it's been around since before the original Lord of the Rings movie by Ralph Bakashi (1978).
That's not what the article was about, really, if you read it. Rotoscoping is modifying each frame individually, in a manner similar to how you do a cartoon.
If you RTFA (fat chance, I know), the article addresses this: "In addition, current techniques to turn videos into cartoons are very labor intensive; the artist has to render each frame by hand. And it still doesn't solve the 'jumping' problem.".
yes, but the point is if you shine it at a wall that's not orthagonal to your point of view, then it will still appear as a circle, and not as an elipse.
Don't bother with the Fox DVD. Either wait for the Disney version (which will actually have a japanese language track), or order the region 2 disc from CD Japan and play it on your favourite region-free player.

Am I the only one who read that as colonscopic holography?
Willing, yes. Not able to, though.
At least, that's what my wife says.

Hardly a punctuation nightmare
spoil sport....
Thank you for not pointing out my syntax error :)
It really should have been:
for(keys %{$hr}){$hr->{$_}->s($x);}
Yours could be also improved by writing like:
foreach my $item (@collection) {
$item->do_something();
}
Cheers.
Hey if you want readability, Perl has 'em all beat:
for(keys %{$hr}){$hr{$_}->s($x);}
Invasion + UTRPG is the way to go there.
Love that map.

They're going to retire his jersey after next year. It really is no fair to the other competitors.
I should clarify -- there's no water in Doom 3's mars.
Duct tape was originally developed as a waterproof sealing tape for ammunition cases in WW II.
Since there's no water on mars, there's no need for duct tape.
It's been reported on alot of nForce boards, but it's also happened with the Audigy cards (on nForce boards as well, presumably).
It seems to be a bandwidth issue (in that it happens when alot of textures are being moved around).
The best thing to do right now is just bind a key to s_restart and hit that when the sound dies.
(Go to a console and type "bind delete s_restart" or whatever other key you want to use).
If you go to EB games just to buy new games, they will hate you forever and ever because they make no money selling new games.
Awesome -- does that mean they'll stop talking to me when I look around in thier stores?
I gotta try this....
You haven't been paying attention.
Creative blackmailed id to include EAX support, so EAX support is in there.
It's 100% not required, though.
It's still illegal.
Also, anime fansubs have always been illegal.
Generally the monsters that have the long, umm, probing tentacles aren't present in the children's shows in quite the same way.
The disney version isn't out yet.
I'm assuming you mean the japanese version -- I'm pretty sure they threw the same English language dub that was on the Fox version onto it.
I'll check when I get home.
Don't bother with the Fox DVD. Either wait for the Disney version (which will actually have a japanese language track), or order the region 2 disc from CD Japan and play it on your favourite region-free player.
Thanks! You rock.
hrm, in retrospect, maybe leaving my naked email address in a mailto: link on slashdot is the reason. i'll have to meditate on that.
