  1. Emacs on What Free IDE Do You Use? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What else would you need?

  2. Re:Good idea on Finnish Censorship Expanding · · Score: 1

    In Finland it is not illegal to access or view child pornograpy. Possession of such materials is illegal.

    As long as the user doesn't save the materials, and disables browser caching, compiling blacklists would not require any illegal acts.

    Russia has ratified most provisions of the European Convention of Human Rights and is therefore subject to European Court of Human rights.

    Nope. The difference between Amazon and iTunes is that I can buy my books from any Amazon store (.com, .uk, .de etc.). I can only buy music from a single iTunes store, the one in the country where my credit card is registered.

  6. Re:Pennies must go! on Earth's Copper Supply Inadequate For Development? · · Score: 1
    As for credit cards, obviously this rounding isn't necessary but my guess is that they'd do it anyway for consistency.

    Finland does not issue one or two cent coins. When paying cash total is rounded to the nearest 5 cents. Rounding does not occur, if paying with bank or credit card.

    Implementing something like this is costly, as all cash register software needs to be updated.

  8. Re:Ah... the first of a start. on Canon Digital Rebel Hacked Into A Pseudo-10D · · Score: 3, Informative
    The 10D uses a prism system to direct the image to the CCD, while the Rebel uses a rotating mirror. This results in a "slap-back" effect on the Rebel that shows up in your pictures at higher magnifications.

    Not true. 10D has pentaprism viewfinder 300D has a pentamirror. There is nothing to direct the image to the sensor. Both have mirror in front of the sensor to direct image to the viewfinder, thus both have mirror slap. 10D only has mirror lock up feature to alliviate it.

    The 10D has a hefty magnesium case, where the Rebel uses a less durable, plastic or composite case.

    True.

    The 10D also can take pictures at a faster rate (burst of 9 at 3 fps vs. burst of 4 at 2.5 fps, I believe). I think this is due to the fact that the Rebel doesn't use the prism.

    The maximum number of images per burst has nothing to do with mirrors, it is just the question of the image buffer size on the camera. 10D has larger buffer.

  10. Scanbacks on Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier · · Score: 2, Informative
    As far as I understand this camera can create 1,8 GP images, no stiching needed.

    There are other scanbacks for MF cameras that also have very high resolutions. Naturally they can be used only on relatively static targets.

    "This is not fantasy stuff," said Joseph Del Balzo, a former acting administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and a security consultant working on one of the profiling projects. "This technology, based on transaction analysis, behavior analysis, gives us a pretty good idea of what's going on in a person's mind."

  19. Metropolis on Escaflowne & Metropolis Hit US Big Screens Friday · · Score: 1
    Not too many comments on this film, here is my take. I have to warn that some might take this as a spoiler.

    I saw it at a film festival last fall, and the story is a sort of typical (based on my limited experience on anime) with simple characters, cybernetics and a massively destructive ending. Nothing special there.

    The art, however, is something else. Apparently at least partially computer generated backgrounds of the city, obviosly inspired by the Fritz Lang's Metropolis, are amazing. There are some scenes where the backgrounds really take your breath away, with some of the characters on foreground and huge cog wheels or fish tanks on the background, with carefully considered lighting.

    This film is worth seeing because of the art, not the story, and on the biggest screen possible
