But it would be outperformed by a bag with some oxygen tanks.
Actually that isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility. In Andy Weir's Artemis there was a space suit called the "hamster ball", it allowed tourists to walk around on the moon relatively untrained. Not useful if you want to do any actual work, however.
But, seriously, I do understand what you mean. It was an easy way to roll out rich apps in an era where there were few options. (ActiveX? Yuck. Applets? Ha!) I am already starting on my own DLL hell as I am looking to upgrade 10 year old javascript frameworks to modern ones like Angular 4 (or maybe something more stable, whatever happened to Angular 3, anyhow?)
Everyone hated flash when it was a highly pushed and supported platform. Adobe realized that everyone hates it and have been trying to kill it for years.
Why would Adobe continue to support something that no longer makes money and causes ire and hate to be directed at them?
He must be thinking of the Leica SL, which does have an electronic viewfinder and is FF. About twice as many pixels as the one in my Olympus E-M1 II. But there is no way in shit I am paying $6000 for a camera body.
My guess is Nikon will keep things at least fairly reasonable to be price competitive with Sony and Canon, not Leica and Hasselblad; so I am looking forward to this.
Yeah, you have it right. If you are going to stick with Nikon-F or Canon-EF lenses, it doesn't matter if you get a mirrorless camera or not. Reinvesting in lenses is a very big deal and Canon and Nikon don't want to put off their customers.
Unless you are getting paid to do it, taking pictures at all is unnecessary.
But that isn't why you do it. You do it because you want to keep a record of events, to share with friends/family, for art, or just because it is fun. If you get more enjoyment or better results out of using a DSLR, who is some "shit kid" to tell you "you could just take snapshits with your phone"?
If people only did things that were necessary, this would be a pretty shitty world.
The EVFs on most mirrorless cameras have a diopter. I wouldn't say they are quite the same as an optical viewfinder, but I bet you haven't used a new or high end one. I have never used a Nikon camera, but I can almost guarantee they won't fuck that up.
Another issue with the calculation is that the EVF is pushed up real close to your eye and is less than an inch in size, so comparing it to a phone resolution doesn't show everything.
I don't think you need a 20+ megapixel readout on the EVF to make it usable. Have you ever pixel-peeped one of those high megapixel images? Yeah, no inch-sized display is going to show that detail no matter how close you press it against your eyeball.
The Olympus E-M1 II has a 2.36MP EVF for its 20MP camera sensor. It is decent, but not perfect, I am not going to pay Hasselblad or Leica prices just to get a better EVF. The best features of the EVF are the abilities to boost the image during low-light conditions, and adjust the brightness so it doesn't blow out your eyes.
Olympus/Panasonic m4/3 cameras need an adapter to fit a Nikon or Canon lens. A Canon or Nikon FF Mirrorless camera will need an adapter to fit an existing Canon EF or Nikon F mount lens.
One of the great drawing points of the m4/3 system is they can adapt to any lens from any FF camera.
The only way to not have an adapter is to have a brand new lens for the new mount.
Exactly. Banks are lax on security because it isn't their money, and insurance will cover it. It's the same reason they are lax on investing and loans. Somebody will bail them out.
If we started holding banks feet to the fire, this shit would end.
Now I do have some sympathy for the banks. Security costs money, and consumers shop for banking products almost soley on fees and rates. Having a "security" fee on a bank statement just won't fly.
Perhaps we can have security audit checks as a public record and something banks can advertise.

Next, they will make it illegal to bring in a bag lunch. Then leftovers will be illegal, throw it out and buy new food every day.
Do you see how dumb what you are advocating for is?

And it was wrong.
Uhh, the blueprints are not lost. What do you think these are?

Aha, I kept thinking "what the fuck does this have to do with System On a Chip?"
A google search for SOC was equally useless.
Ok ok fine, I will amend my statement.
Everybody with at least half a brain hated flash.

Thanks?
And letting China invade Taiwan somehow is "comeuppance" for western countries, how?

I may be an atheist, but you are doing god's work, my friend.
I wish that was an option for me. Unless one thinks the overtones of a male 40yo smoker are sexy. (And I don't even smoke, I just sound like it.)
How do those scams make money? Do they get people desperate for work to pay them for a job opportunity or something?
