the funniest thing about Catholic vs. Bible literalists, is that there are only three aspects of the bible that Catholic (Eastern or Roman) believe literally happened, while the biblical literalists absolutely do not accept these as fact. They are:
Permanent Viginity of Mary Transubstantiation Assumption of Mary
no shit. Mr. Salesguy gets an umpty-thousand bonus from an account that *i* worked 60 hour weeks to satisfy his promises, and i get the same paycheck as always.
>and fairly enough those who actually use the new infrastructure pay the costs.
no, the last mile problem must be shared by all of society, as those who are most expensive to reach are the most expensive to, as well as the least profitable.
thats why utilities (electric, phone) were government granted monopolies who were mandated to wire this last mile. the companies were guaranteed to recoup their investment in infrastructure through regulated rates.
it is absolutely imperative that these costs are shared fairly throughout society, and in the past always have been, see the TVA for a prime example.
its not about making it "cheaper", its about laying the most expensive bit of wire, to the least profitable customer, and making sure that it gets done, so that all citizens in this country are treated equitably.
The RR's morals and values consist of one concept: "We hate sex".
Want to kill some brown peoplpe half a world away, thats ok! That whole "THou shall not Kill " thing was a joke.
Cutting funding to social programs! Of course you can, this is the new improved jesus, the one that never said "whatver you do for the least, you do for me". He said "get yours and screw them lazy poort people".
Blatant corruption? Of course thats ok, if god didnt like you, then how come you've got all this money.
Sony now produces everything sold in NA in Mexico, so you arent getting the japanes precision.
AFAIK, the only electronics manufacturer still producing in japan is Panasonic (Matsushita), and i have had very good luck with the panasonic gear that i've bought.
but as for "art"... you are 100% right... sometimes you need control of the equipment to do special things, such as special inks, or non-puritan material.
it depends on what you want to do, and if you are truly into art, walmart aint gonna cut it.
i've had good luck with costco's printing... the 12x18's that i printed there were beautiful, and cheap. you must be sure to turn off the color-correction when ordering...

RC's do not accept that Jesus had brothers and sisters, even though the original language was specific.

apparently, you're not a Catholic (the whole transubstantiation bit)
meh... at least they dont have a cannibalistic re-enactment at every worship.
seriously, eating flesh and drinking blood?
because there is no other choice.
no shit. Mr. Salesguy gets an umpty-thousand bonus from an account that *i* worked 60 hour weeks to satisfy his promises, and i get the same paycheck as always.
it doesnt help that the new CFO of msft is the former president ofsam's club
meh... my costco membership only net'd me $23 last year. i got the executive membership, for $100, and then got a $77 check from the 2% back.
look man - GNOME is a royal pain in the ass to write code for. the qt widget set provides a much, much better api, and signaling mechanism.
which is kindof sad, as ms used to be the place where all the talent went.
they dont gots it anymore.
he's full of shit, phone was wired *to everyone* a long time ago, by government grants.
well, standard oil is more or less back together, too (exxon and mobil).
glad to see that the there is no price-gouging in the energy biz... nope... none at all...

so fuck you and your false morality.
bah... you need to buy a 12 MP camera to get close to 35mm....
Sony now produces everything sold in NA in Mexico, so you arent getting the japanes precision.
AFAIK, the only electronics manufacturer still producing in japan is Panasonic (Matsushita), and i have had very good luck with the panasonic gear that i've bought.
the 35mm statement came from an analog-bigot friend of mine... i had previously thought that 35mm was about 12MP...
amazing thing about analog bigots, no matter how nice a picture digital takes, they pass it off as an inferior work, just cuz it was digital. eff 'em.
Damn that hasselblad is nice... does anyone need a kidney? i only really need one, and then i could afford the hasselblad...
medium format digital? where? 35MM is equivalent to 18Meg...
digital sucks for archival reasons though... i've lost several hundred with dying IDE's...
and then my cd's were eaten by mold, so the backups were toast.
prints tend to hold up much better.
costco does 12x18s for 2.99

they're making tons of money on the ipod, and making a lot of money on itunes, too...
if you're writing out data every second or so, i believe that you would be using the wrong material for the task.
a cat 5 in DC? no effing way - the water doesnt get warm enough that far up the coast.
and Tesla Coils are quite capable of knocking out AM in a fairly large radius...
