Well there's no question that 4x5" film scans are going to have more detail than miniscule-sensor-digital shots from 2003-2006. Even a full 35mm digital sensor is puny compared to 4x5" film.
The point of the site's author in the d200 vs 4x5 article is that you can get extremely good quality digital images by using a large format view camera and a film scanner for near (or better) the same price as a decent DSLR.
So this means I should pirate more movies, since my pirating isn't hurting their wallet as much as they claimed it was yes?
When pirating, you never took into consideration whether or not it would hurt anyone's wallet except your own, so continue pirating at your regular rate. If you ever get caught (unlikely) you can tell them falzer on Slashdot said it was OK.
Because the RTC on your motherboard probably uses an inaccurate time source like a quartz crystal that was not selected for accuracy nor is it kept in an environment that controls for all variables that affect timing (temperature, pressure, and other environmental factors.)
>I wonder if this faux atomic clock model will pause inexplicably every 3-5 seconds. For those that haven't noticed, if in XP through 7, look at the clock ticking. You'll notice a pause.
I noticed this years ago in Date and Time properties. The pause you see has little to do with the actual system timer.
I believe the real reason is that the UI is timed to update at a period of slightly less than one second, so quite often there are two UI updates that poll the system time within the same system clock second.
Get a converter for every digital channel you care about and retransmit on analog channels. Don't interfere with other channels. You can do this per-building or for the whole town if it's small enough.
Actually, don't, since that would cost too much for the little benefit you would gain.
Put just a few converters in each building and have a remote switch to pick your digital channel and analog channel.
Kibi- and friends should be ostracized, mocked, shunned, or ignored mainly because they sound incredibly stupid when spoken.
Another reason is that using SI prefixes for powers of 1024 is entrenched and there is no pressing need to use the new terms, despite the urging of a few pedants and malcontents. There probably isn't a single other unit besides the byte (or octet if you prefer) where anyone regularly powers of 1024, not even the bit, where megabits/gigabits and so on are understood to be in powers of 1000. In the cases where exactness is required, the whole numbers are written out anyway.
If it must be so, prefer a binary prefix that sounds cooler, e.g.: killerbyte, meggerbyte, giggerbyte, terrorbyte, and so on.
This is unrelated to your software request, but get vertical organizers rather than flat organizers. Desk space is at a premium.
Also, make an automatic inventory system with a force sensor on each compartment to give a rough-guess of the remaining quantity of components. You just need to program in the component average weight and type.
I had a mysql replication server which was reading SQL commands from a binary log on a master server. One day after years of operation I noticed an update failed. I didn't see anything at first by looking at the query, but when I looked closely I noticed the query had a single character changed, and of that character only one bit had changed. It was something like a P becoming a Q and thus giving a syntax error.
It's been awhile since I got my Canadian Ham license, but I seem to remember learning that it was illegal to rebroadcast, (or talk about, publish, whatever) anything that you heard on the airwaves. I.e. cop, fire, air control, taxi, etc chatter.
>Have the person who damaged the eye compensate for the lost eye, society gains benefit. How is there a gain in benefit? At best it is zero sum. You would not argue that society benefits all the more if more peoples' eyes or whatever were lost, would you?
I believe your definition of justice to be bunk, because is there no right that can fix the wrong of murder on a balance sheet.
Imprisoning dangerous people to keep them off the street is good for that reason alone, regardless of perceived justness. Note that I am also against "prison justice", and I am not against rehabilitation. I know people personally who have reformed. Rehabilitation is a separate issue from keeping criminals off the street.
Phone booths maybe. I still see people use them in malls or on the ferry.
Wristwatches no. I bring my phone out of my pocket to check the time and it's a PITA. After tiring of this, I recently ordered a wristwatch. Wristwatches are still fashionable. If I may psychoanalyze the author of this article I suspect that he is a pragmatist.
Alarm clock probably yes as long as the software is sufficiently flexible.
MP3 player yes.
Compact camera likely. The best camera is the one you have on your person. My current phone's camera is shit, but if it was decent I probably wouldn't have bothered getting a compact. Anything bigger than a compact camera is still safe.
Netbooks? I don't know, but as long as I have the choice I won't do any of my work on a computer the size of a phone. OTOH I would love to be able to bring my phone to work, plug it into a KVM and carry on that way.
Handheld game consoles maybe. No reason the current game giants can't make software for phones.
Paper? For maps and dictionaries and stuff, sure, to some degree. For writing, no. I'll believe that when I see Larry Lunchbucket on the jobsite taking notes on his phone's screen.
Slashdot Mirror
Turns out it was actually 0.003%*. Sorry for the confusion.
*All the legal transfers were of Ubuntu ISOs.
Truly inspiring. It makes me want to get back into the microcontroller hobby. (No arduinos though, where's the fun in that?)

For your interest, compare 4x5 film to a large format digital sensor scan back:

digital http://www.luminous-landscape.com/images36/BL-Detail1.jpg

Large format digital pictures are extremely competitive in quality to film.
And from seeing quite a few shops in his time.
Well, the person in this article made an aluminum mount.
It could be done with any phone, but it wasn't, because it's so incredibly useless and indulgent.
I'm used to moving the mouse with only my fingertips. Dude in the video is moving his wrist. Neat tech demo, but I wouldn't use it.

Everyone does it this way.
How would you prefer land ownership to work?
What you describe is indeed legal but that is not what is being discussed in the article.

Why can't incompetence/horrible attitude be the official reason for canning someone?
Blood will have gone into my next phone. I will purchase it humbly.

This is why I still think manned space operations are important. Shallow, crude, unsophisticated sexiness.
