I don't know if you're joking or not, but don't expect too much of people. If you want people to socialize with you, you have to socialize with them. And it takes time to build little relationships. Especially with engineers.
I was thinking black and white. Black and white processes are very archival if proper washing is done. Negs and prints will last much longer than a century.
My previous career was in the commercial photography business. I was the one that pushed the studio into getting a digital scanning back for our 4x5. I'm in agreement about digital. Mostly.
I recently acquired an old film Leica for two reasons. One, I just always wanted an M4-P. It's a really great feeling piece of equipment that makes you think very deliberately about how you're shooting and it's fun to use. Two, I know that I can record some images that will be impervious to bit rot.
The only upvote that really matters is the one at the ballot box. Even though Lessig is right--by the time the candidate is on the ballot the candidate is already corrupted--it would still be a marvelous statement if droves of citizens started voting third party.
"It gives that 3d depth and color lacking in the real world."
Could you explain that? As I look around me in the real world I see amazing color and 3D depth. I'd say it's much better than the OR, which when I put one on reminded me very much of looking into those old video camera electronic viewfinders.
I had a completely different read on Opportunist's post. The "want" turns it into an indictment on the moral character of government officials involved in such activities. In other words, it's not about the government reserving rights to certain activities but rather about the perceived low moral character of those in charge.
Those activities may sometimes be necessary, but wanting to do them is sick.
"There are processes in place to deal with law violations committed under the veil of state secrecy. Snowden did not lift a finger for even a moment to follow those processes, electing instead to break the law himself and go straight to the public."
If that was even true he would have had good reason to do that. Two of his predecessors had their lives completely ruined after they tried to follow process.
One of my favorite lines (gleaned from a post here as a matter of fact) is, do you really expect to win a rigged game by playing by the rules?
"Realize that businesses are doing this in response to demand."
There is no negative demand. In other words, people are not demanding no service. What's really going on here is that businesses are seeing how little they can get away with as far as customer support and still sell a product.
This isn't consumer grade, but at work we still have a number of Solaris machines in use. One of the reasons in the past that we stayed with Solaris was their outstanding support. That support has become a joke in the past few years thus removing another barrier to switching over the Linux.
You're just noticing this? A successful business model these days includes limiting how much you actually have to deal with your customers. It's not just tech. Forums, voice menus and FAQs are the order of the day for problem solving.

It was a joke. Read carefully.
"I'm waiting for the obligatory nutcase to drop an insane "human eye can't see more than 30fps" comment."
Actually, I just checked the frame rate and reality only runs at 48 fps, tops. Anything higher is just theoretical.

And the food web. Don't forget that.
Maybe someday we'll be able to say One Click in the right direction.
It's time to throw your support behind Lessig's movement!

It had better be kopi luwak for that price.
Yep. That's what I meant by "Even though Lessig is right--by the time the candidate is on the ballot the candidate is already corrupted..."
You should look up Lessig's project. Or just continue doing nothing while complaining that people are doing nothing.
Yes, but if you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up daisies.

Also, pardon my somewhat US-centric answer.

I think it's interesting that you got modded up for repeating my post. I guess I wasn't explicit enough.

Someone please verify, but I think we have a double-Whoosh here.

The good news is it doesn't affect your appetite.

Because it goes with the onion on the belt.

I certainly hope that's the case. It would be a shame if he was being an idiot on his free time.
This isn't so much a hand-held 3D printer as it is a hand-cramp generator.

Adding in hardware IS easy. This is how I do it:
