  1. Re:What's wrong with... on Apple Patents Directional Flash Tech For Cameras · · Score: 1

    This was likely done to place a nice highlight in the eyes of the people he was photographing (the card doesn't really reflect enough light to make much of a difference to the overall exposure of the scene). Some flashes (e.g. my Pentax AF360FGZ) have a little pull-out white plastic card for just this purpose.

    "(Tip: Pick optic companies not electronics companies, ie: get Nikon, Canon, Olympus, not Sony, Casio, Samsung)"

    It's actually OK to buy a Samsung DSLR since these are clones of Pentax models - e.g. Pentax K10D = Samsung GX-10.

  4. Re:How do they know? on Screenshot Accounts 'Delisted' on Flickr · · Score: 1

    Don't think so. You can take a photo in RAW, and export it to non-EXIF JPEG or TIFF format using whatever RAW conversion software. I accidentally did this once myself, and my photo has not been 'delisted'.

  5. Re:Every time I see Babbage's name... on The Difference Engine · · Score: 1

    Another fave Babbage quote...

    Propose to an Englishman any principle, or any instrument, however admirable, and you will observe that the whole effort of the English mind is directed to find a difficulty, a defect, or an impossibility in it. If you speak to him of a machine for peeling a potato, he will pronounce it impossible: if you peel a potato with it before his eyes, he will declare it useless, because it will not slice a pineapple.

    What makes you think Linux has a httpd and nfs server in the kernel?
