Given the same resins and concentration of colorant, the black one will transmit less light than the white one, because it will absorb more of the light entering the surface and convert it to heat rather than bouncing it from atom to atom.
What smacks of hooey is that the solution to this problem is simply to put a rubber o-ring of appropriate thickness around each camera to duct it to the phone's surface. Which I'm surprised they don't do with the black one to reduce the chance of dust contamination over time.
Or wait until people who bought the black one start to get that little chemical feeling of boredom in the back of their lizard brains and are willing to buy the white one to replace it.
Funny creatures fly space ships. Some die and some win.
Was I describing the Star Wars trilogy, or the Apollo missions from an alien perspective?
By limiting the scope of your analysis you can turn almost anything into almost anything else.
The difference between the first movie and the trilogy is that in the first Luke defeats an imperial unit. In the trilogy he defeats the Empire. Yes, there are similarities, but there are important differences. That's the beauty and drama of fractals.
What I'm hoping is that someday the franchise gets treated like Superman and Batman do, and better movie makers "reboot" their lesser components over and over again until they have it right. But I fear this won't happen unless the 11 dimensions of space around George Lucas' head are unwrapped and allowed to relax with 3 different ones as x, y, and z.
That sure looks like you are trying to say that the Democratic political party was good for us and our government.
In that they keep the Republicans from being our non-goverment, yes, they are. But your accusation was not limited to the good parties.
I don't want any political party to represent me in government as they inevitably get in the way of useful governance.
While you're tearing down the party that actually has American values, the party that wraps itself in the flag will be cohering its electoral control and taking over.
There are only two ways to stop parties from forming in a system based on voting: 1. ban them, but that's counter to the right to freely associate; 2. end voting, but there's no other way to determine what the people want, either.
So you can either recognize the bad parties and join the good parties against them, or you can sit on the sidelines and whine that the ocean is wet and you want it dried out.
Sounds more like a game of telegraph than a clue to a scam.
Christie's isn't going to get itself involved in selling knockoffs using verbage that might allow people to mistake it for the genuine goods.
Rather than a fake, it's probably got papers saying it came from ILM's storage unit, but that ILM doesn't remember which version of the costume this was or which movie it was in.
In any case, the auction catalog will be more distinct about it. And a quick scan shows they get very detailed about what parts of the costume are original and which are copies based on the original parts, plus letters from principals, yadda yadda The catalog also includes some other things of almost the same level of importance, like James Bond props and animation cels from Danger Mouse.
I really don't get why people think Empire was the best. It was all connective tissue, with no real story to it, and deliberately ended without a resolution. The first one was self-contained and is rightly deemed one of the greatest movies ever made. The third one resolved the trilogy, but of course...ewoks...so it can't contend.
What? There were three more? Huh. Not part of this series, certainly... No matter.
The point is, Star Wars is the best Star Wars movie. Empire is flashy and necessary to continuing the story, but is still just a sequel and certainly not superior.
Regardless, I will be auctioning my left nut in order to raise funds to bid on this dress. Precisely because I'm rational.
Well, first, I didn't say that. And second, it wasn't the question in the first place.
The GOP is inexorably bad for government, since their primary goal is to end any part of the government that gets in the way of corporations turning people into machines, cattle, piggy banks, or ingredients.
The President can control congress by tit-for-tat on bills. It's a highly effective strategy, since his "vote" is absolutely necessary on every single bill. It's a matter of what kind of restraint he uses in giving out the tit to get his tat that determines the sum-total of the bills.
Clinton vetoed the budget produced by the Gingrich congress, twice. Congress let the government shut down, and discovered the public didn't really like that, even if that's all Gringrich heard from Grover Norquist was that an absent government would be a good thing. Then they did what Clinton told them to do and balanced the budget.
Reagan and Bush41 dictated budget as well. Bush43 spent like a coke dealer, using 9/11 as a political bludgeon.
Depending on how the next couple of years go, Obama may be the first Democrat since FDR to have increased debt vs. GDP. He's still got a good chance to reverse the overshoot he got from Dubya's profligacy.
Corporations are 1) vastly overestimating productivity based on a fantasy that their workers are mechanical multitaskers with no lives, and 2) refusing to hire as long as doing so might prove that certain people in government were right about certain economic stimuli.
I'm forgetting the actual word for the shape (not "bathtub", there's a good word for it), but basically the conservatism vs. education curve is not monotonic, while generally the education vs. wealth one is.
Conservatives tend to quit school after they get their BS or in some case MS, since they tend to focus on money from birth. Few Ph.D's are conservative. Very few who are using their doctorates at universities.
The thing about the "educated elites" argument is that they're basically saying they don't value smart people. And it works politically because they don't care if they're telling the truth, just as long as they activate the jealous hatred nascent in the voting public. Conservative politics is very tactical and highly specious. They utterly mastered the trick of putting a heinous proposition on the ballot, one they'd never put in as a party platform plank, which nonetheless brings out the sociopaths who, since they're already there to declare homosexuals non-persons, might as well vote for that nice dumb guy from Texas, because they're sure he's on their side.
Do you really want to see what that would look like with all the formatting intact? Because I'm guessing it's all centered, in four rotating colors, has a textured background that camouflages the text, any number of graphical manipulations, and more than one instance of blinking bold italics.

So that's why Heidi Klum retired.
By the time the White iPhone comes out, the only person left on VS's payroll will be Gilbert Gottfried.
Yeah.
The place is so full of 30-60 somethings that you can't get a Justin Bieber quote in edgewise...

Can we try an Internet Spank Switch for a while, first?
Aha!
And I fell for it.
I think the Ewoks have made me forget that there's still contained regions of awesome in Jedi.

Oh, and did I mention the Captain Janeway uniform and... pardon my drool... a HAL 9000 faceplate (like this only more worn)?
Oh crap. That's a game-changer...
Uhh....no. Still going to go with "has beginning, a middle, and an end" as a big part of what makes a movie good.

I may have to sell my right nut, too...
Yeah. Whatever did happen to Highlander 2?
You sure about that?
If I buy it, you can better well bet that I'll try it on at least once. Not that I'll advertise that when it's my turn to auction it off...
I'll alert the costume department that they let a real space suit slip through their fingers.

The fact that you can count liberal billionaires on one hand negates your implied premise.
First thing your employer would do is ban cameras in the workplace.
Second is to buy thicker chains.
This.
Corporations are 1) vastly overestimating productivity based on a fantasy that their workers are mechanical multitaskers with no lives, and 2) refusing to hire as long as doing so might prove that certain people in government were right about certain economic stimuli.
Google doesn't do IT services.
You're thinking of IBM, EDS, SAP, Oracle...
You're joking, right?
Or are you watching Glenn Beck right now?

Just not of the truly wealthy.
