I agree completely, and further I think the law should require everyone keep their windows and curtains open day and night, and the door to the shitter open. At least until the telescreen is invented.
Nobody can reasonably argue with shared risk, but the IRS coerced nature of *this* law, coupled with the rather skewed premium pricing (laying a heavy burden on the young "invincibles" to push down premiums for the old, fat, smokers, and the chronically ill) leaves a lot of room for debate.
Calling them "dumb fucks" is juvenile and only closes their minds further against your position.
Genuine health reform will not happen until legal reform happens first. By adopting a European model of loser-pays in civil litigation, the caseload will drop with malpractice premiums to sane levels.
Never gave a second thought to storage of CDs. I have a very old CD collection - many discs from the 1980s. After reading this, I ran in a panic to see if they still play. Hmmm. they all still play and are rippable. I am a photographer. Have backed up images onto several standard file boxes of CDRs, from 1999-2003, then copied to DVDRs (just filling the first standard file box), then large HDs. They are jammed in sleeves, not jewel cases. Random samples all play. It is the hard drive backups that are miserable failures.
Not just grandma jumped on (thereby making you have to watch what you say), but every pet cause, minor event, megacorporation and local shop, all clamoring for you to sign up for something or at least LIKE them and shoving ads in your face
The right to firearms possession is Constitutionally guaranteed to not be infringed. In the same part of the Constitution that guarantees your right to free speech, to not be unreasonably searched, to due process, jury trials, excessive punishment, etc.
If your argument is followed, expect the other rights to be annulled, and no way to stop it.
Who are you trying to kid. Ifixit gives Apple like 2/10 on repairability, you need an expert and $100 to change a battery, all your data had to go thru Cupertino, no thanks.
They actually had one back in 2003, and Suunto and Fossil sold them, but nobody would buy them because they did not have the apple logo. MS recently pulled the plug on the server.
Go on Ebay for any number of bullet shaped helmet cams that cost next to nothing. They have the same chip as in the GoPro without the marketing cost. The GoPro is the wrong shape for any speed usage anyway.
Well, the pages he can't see due to lack of Flash weren't worth viewing anyways. I'm certain he's not missing all the Flash ads and Flash-borne malware either.
He's right this time. The wheels have come off the Apple bandwagon and they are going in four different directions. There's no new product. Jobs is gone. Savants abhor Apple's litigous nature. The price has fallen from $700 to $500 as the smart money gets out, -- a major collapse yet shills still try to talk it up hence the subby's Tulip comparo.
There is palpable contempt for Apple out there, I had a young girl come in waving a white Iphone, complaining about the lame hand me down as the parent had gotten a Galaxy. Nothing lasts forever, even Apple's dominance will end some day.
I'm so glad all these ACs and people not in the stock business keep chiming in. Look i don't like Instagram any more than you do. I'mm saying their strategy will fail no matter what. So what if all the post is done on their server, or that people load pictures of all sorts of things advertisaers might find desirable, or whatever thing you will reply with next to try to sound smart. It still won't work.
Stock photos have to be DESCRIBED using captioning and IPTC tags. Thise are entered by the photographer or an editor. It is as time consuming as the original shoot. To see how those work, check the returns for a photo search via google images vs any stock house.
Second, no legit client is going to license these toxic (legally ) images EVER. What sort of model release can hold up that is from a click thru EULA with the guy clicking thru signing releases for everyone in the picture? This is an instant legal nightmare.
Third let's not even get into unintended consequences such as an athlete losing his scholarship for their endorsement of a commercial product.
Anyone licensing photos from Instagram deserves every lawsuit they are hit with.
There is no money in stock photos unless your name is "getty". Specifically regarding Instagram/Facebook, the shitty ovreprocessed greasy lensed Iphone snaps of random people are not going to attract any significant sales even if sold by Getty.
As with cell phones, stores could charge a $35 restocking fee. Often the returned item isn't pristine and has to be formatted and sold as "refurbished" at a loss.
There are sd cards that are wifi capable. I assume you can write to them (they were meant to deliver images real time from camera to computer), no need for hardware development.
Green has by far the greatest apparent luminosity per milliwatt of power, for example you need about 100mw red to equal the aparent brightness of 5mw green.
Also, the green lasers are well collimated for mass produced DPSS and have the tightest beam. Other colors than red come out as a line and not a dot requiring wild and expensive aspherical collimator designs for a tight beam at any distance. Near IR dissipates and the dot cannot be seen past a few dozen meters so they are not a threat against aircraft. Defending against green would cover about 95% of aircraft threat and filtering 532nm is easy and cheap.
There are differences. One is Google is not goading people into using its cloud with a walled ecosystem. And in Android:
"A remote wipe removes all device-based data like mail, calendar, and contacts from the device, but it may not delete data stored on the device's SD card."

The major cities of the Indus Valley civilization were dismantled for railroad ballast for the same reasons.

There's something wrong with your T61 if it chokes on 720p. I have a R60 @1.83 and it plays 1080p fine, (editing 1080 is another story).

I recall in Dune people ended up violently dumping computers, maybe he was onto something.
If your theory is true, where is the Slashdot story "Facebook Loses Almost Half Its Daily Users In A Month"
As for Apple, when they cut back parts orders when even Nokia is expanding is... troubling...

100% of the photos are crap, no legit client is going to buy a heavily processed cellphone photo with unsigned model releases.

When 1% of the resumes are attracting 80% of the job offers, there's a problem with picky-ass employers expecting perfection for peanuts

A photograph IS an original work, whatever the subject.
The area you're straying into is licensing and releases. Many subjects, and all people, require releases before commercial use of the photo.
I looked at this as I, like the subby, have terabytes of porn to sort.
But $19.95 for a beta?
