Ah, yes! The only text printer I ever ran that you had to wear PPE (personal protection equipment) to operate! It was like a chainsaw with type instead of cutting teeth...
Yes, McDonalds is so crafty. They will be defunding the class that most often frequents their restaurants. Brilliant economics; destroy the economic base of those who buy your product... What could possibly go wrong?
In the 1990's, at Ohio State University's Department of Photography and Cinema, there was a 35/16mm Oxberry Animation "clone" stand that was operated by a PDP 9 with moves entered via punched paper tapes. Each paper tape of a fixed duration move was neatly rolled up into little cubby-holes in a tray. It worked fine.
* Drink heavily and often. * Shove a raw potato up his tailpipe. (do the car first) * Begin implementing endless "for->next" loops in random code sections. * See who can bounce random objects into a wastebasket at the far hall; style counts. * Wear warpaint made from broken dry erase markers and ambush a co-worker while they are changing the water bottle in the office water dispenser.
Hell, man, you are in the same boat as the rest of us. Get creative.elsewhere and let old fussy pants stew in his own juices.
"Once you've got that down, then you can fool around with old analog photography."
Yeah then "old analog photography" will eat your short-attention span, "put it on auto" ass, because it takes dedication, a tiny bit of patience and a bit of determination.
Anyone can bang away thousands of times and luck into a good image.
It's much faster than making them look like crap in photoshop. Face it, digicrap is digicrap; a disposable medium for the terminally lazy. Just put it on auto, hose down the scenery and spend 10 hours torturing a medicre shot into a weird by product of CGI. Instagram pisses so many self styled artists off because it accomplishes the same relative effect in a few clicks. Ha!
And, I think I'll just wade through all the speculation and theories to decide for myself, rather than allow opinions like your to take away that option.
Your stance is just as rote and predictable as those you oppose.
For me, I prefer tin hat and all, rather than a outright dismissal of things that are improbable or even impossible.
That's Wonderful! I thing we need to include an interactive database on White Collar Criminals, Speeding Ticket Offenders, People who donated to Political Causes and Estimated Annual Income!
Pure pandering to a bad situation to foment strife and drum up sales. The database contributes nothing but conflict to the situation. It is petty, vindictive and unhelpful.

As if the Government is hanging their infrastructure on Dayton's ability to host a wireless network. Absurd. Suddenly, the downtown area of Dayton will sprout crackers and virus writers will burst spontaneous out of the mud because of this service? Do you maintain that web access in itself is inherently evil?
Did your Internet connection cause you to compulsively start wreaking havoc on everyone around you, or is the fact that you're somehow immune from your fears for downtown denizens somehow rooted in the notion that your purchasing the service makes you immune from this danger?
How can you imagine that any Government infrastructure need for monitoring our citizens is hinging upon this service?
Why would anyone, in this day of insane run-away spending by the President and Congress, think they simply wouldn't put it their budget and further mortgage our future for their short-sighted political gains?
Every system has potential for abuse, but that didn't stop you from establishing an Internet account; I'll bet you probably drive a car that could potentially speed or could run a red light. You might own a gun that could be used in a crime, have a sharp knife that could be used to vandalize park benches, etc. ad nausem.
When you're as keen to deny yourself access and services as it seems you are to others, then you might be justified in your opinions.
Maybe the "Feds" don't need anymore encouragement to interfere in our lives; name ONE instance of your supposed WiFi piggybacking that directly impacted your life.
I thought not...
Chicken little-type shit -- go dig a hole and let the Feds live your life for you, you freakin' consumer.
Just a bunch of alarmist crap in the service of the telcos and other naysayers...
Oh but it can be denied. I know one man who refuses to vote at all and is proud of the fact (idiot). No way anyone can prove that the people who are voting for Nader would have even shown up at the polls if Nader had not been on the ticket. For that matter, what about Buchannan?
Yes, the farther you are away from this problem, the easier it looks.
Voting for Nader is like Rambo shooting at a helicopter with.45 caliber pistol; a grand, useless gesture with possibly fatal consequences.
I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma where the Bush/Oil clique is empowered...
I doubt, my friend, if you really have a clue as to the danger they pose to both me and you...
Whatever the outcome of this election, it's time to get rid of Alexander Hamilton's hat-doff to his paranoia of "the great beast"; the American Public.
Yeah, Democracy is messy. Dictatorships are neat, clean and easy with a bullet to the skull. Do you have a choice? Yes. Sprout wings and fly away. At least you have that option...
I get your point about the "marching moron" mentaltiy, but you gotta die trying or you're gonna die sitting on your cynical ass.

"This isn't about learning photography, for kids it's about being retro/hip/individual."
This is always the bash that insecure digital mavens throw out when trying to justify their insecurity over analog photography.
If film is so dead, why are you so incredibly insecure about it?
"Once you've got that down, then you can fool around with old analog photography."
Yeah then "old analog photography" will eat your short-attention span, "put it on auto" ass, because it takes dedication, a tiny bit of patience and a bit of determination.

Good luck on your road to mediocre images...
