Indian security doesn't want you to take pictures of Boeing and Airbus airplanes up close for "security reasons." I've never had problems taking picures of airplanes anywhere else in the world. I've been to India, and had it happen to me, personally, on multiple occasions.
Interesting. So 16MP is ~ same as 100 ISO slide film. But then there is the whole issue of digital camera interpolation. Which is why I really love the Foveon X3. But it's only used in a few very expensive cameras. By inference, when digital cameras have 48MP, or Foveon goes 16MP, I will stop using my RDP III.
To some degreee, the reference confirms my point. Because the comment is referring to the inability to distiguish a digital image versus a scanned film image.
A better comparision would have been a head to head shootout of a film slide projected head-to-head with a DLP or similar image of a digital image.
I should have said raster versus vector. If you look closely at bitmaps, say fonts for example, you see the associated map of pixels. Postscipt fonts in comparision are determined by equations, and remain the same detail, even as you zoom in.
"And with its full 35mm CMOS it is the first camera to effectively reproduce the image quality of 35mm film."
Film has far more resolution than a 16.7MP. Remember, MP is just what it says, MP or mega pixels. Film does not have pixels. So until they can pack in so many pixels that you cannot see a diagonal line as a series of stair steps, the resolution is not "35mm film quality."
Even so, don't forget that film is a subtractive medium (light is subtracted from full white when film is projected in a cinema or in a slide show). Whereas TV, PC, and digital cameras use an additive (light is "turned on" at various points or pixels to "form" an image). Kinda like bitmap versus postscript, at least as far as lineart goes.
and cars in the same issue. I can't take such a company seriously.
I remember them slamming VW 10 years ago for not having 2 turn signal indicator lights, VW only had one (not one for each direction). If you don't remember which direction you turned the turn signal lever and need a light to remind you, perhaps means you shouldn't be driving a car.
At any rate, because of Consumer Reports, VW added an additional turn signal light.
Very few from what I've seen. Almost all cars now come with the in-dash cd player. But I've yet to see one with a cd-changer. This comes from personal, family, and about 10 loaner 325/330's experience in the last 2 years.
iPod over cd-changer is fine. But I would rather have the GPS nav over the iPod. Both would be perfect. In time, I imagine someone will find a way...
The article states: "The seesaw battle around the role of computing in Formula One began in earnest in 1992 when the federation eliminated turbocharged engines in an effort to control race car speeds."
Turbo engines were banned earlier than that.
I do recall reading that Gerhard Berger qualified for the German Grand Prix in the late 80's with a 1.5 liter turbo qualifying (grenade) engine that produced 1500 bhp. Those engines were designed to last less than 10 laps of the track.
Highly unlikely. F1 teams have been encrypting data, voice, and other communication for at least 10 years. NASCAR teams have just recently started this. Uniden Bearcat scanners have been worthless in F1 for a long time.
Absolutely. I have 2: One for my TiBook and one for my SigO's Thinkpad. We swear by them. Don't bother with the small travel size, get the podium version, it's not that big anyway. It fits perfect in a laptop bag.
Excellent design allows great use of convection and air circulation. The rotating design is great for meetings.
With the Podium Pad, it's always cool to the touch. You might be able to feel the radiant heat in the air or your fingertips, if say fans are on full-bore. But you sure don't feel the heat on your lap.
Channel 376, but you need to have to be receiving the bird at the 119 orbital slot to get the channel. That bird is used primarily for Spanish language stuff, and NASA:).
I used ClosetMaid shelving from Home Depot. I used this shelf. And their adjustable ShelfTrack, although they have nothing on that page.
- The shelves are wire, and about 20" deep. Great for cooling. - When you get the shelf, Home Depot will cut it to your width, in the store. - The adjustable tracks are mounted onto a stud wall and you can raise and lower a shelf, as you see fit. All attachments are made on the back of the shelf so wiring can be run up the sides.
The rsync team has received evidence that a vulnerability in rsync was recently used in combination with a Linux kernel vulnerability to compromise the security of a public rsync server. While the forensic evidence we have is incomplete, we have pieced together the most likely way that this attack was conducted and we are releasing this advisory as a result of our investigations to date...
I just submitted comments referencing this article to all the relevant CBSnews.com emails. If more do the same, perhaps there will be some media coverage.
Unless this is included in a sound bite or news clip, no typical uninformed American will care.
On strictly apolitical terms: every vote should count. It's as simple as that.
Pilot Dr.Grip is very good. - Wide contoured comfort grip alleviates writing stress. (Significant for Lefties.) - Commended for Ease-of-Use by the Arthritis Foundation. - Retractable and Refillable. (Low TCO;) ) - Good weight and balance.
I use a 3 color multipen with mechanical pencil Rotring. It's made of solid metal so it's heavy enough to hurt if you hit somebody. It's hexagonal in shape, so it never rolls off a desk.
Slashdot Mirror
take your pick.
They don't work with Cisco CSS load balancers. They need a real serial port, not USB-serial.
Not to start a fanboy flamathon, but Apple Mac laptops have had built-in display calibrators for years.

Yup. BMW has had this in the USA since the 2003 7 series. The technology is called Valvetronic http://www.bmwworld.com/technology/valvetronic.htm & http://www.bmwusa.com/Vehicles/X5/48is/HighlightDe tail.htm

Incorrect perhaps, but bad is up to others to decide. I did admit my error an post an elaboration, in this post.

OK. So it isn't so now. But prior to 2 years ago?

So true. People talk about the difficult transition Apple had going from 68K to PowerPC, but forget about that one fact:
:)
EVERY OS rev Apple released after the PowerPC debut made the machines run faster, since Apple rewrote code bits to utilize PowerPC.
I can't wait for them to do that with the G5.
To repeat: Apple OS releases make their machines (usually) run faster.
I have always called mine a Bummer or BumW since the mid 80's.
