Just remember, that the articles on K5 are written by the members, then voted on by the populace. A more certain way to enforce groupthink, I can not imagine.
If you had ever been K5 for a little while, you would know that this is incredibly wrong.
Hell, the same thing could be (and oftern is) said about Slashdot and Linux etc.
What utter bullshit. Homosexuality is victimless compared to pedophilia. Besides, latest scientific studdies show a need/reason for homosexual behaviour. Pedophilia on the other hand, is almost always traced back to sexual abuse at a young age.
Homosexuality was concidered a disorder because at the time, it made no sence, but science has proven otherwise now.
No. What they did was give people a free lunch. It's just that people have become selfish and greedy, and have blasted Six Apart when they decided they couldn't provide a free lunch to everyone anymore. They should be fucken thankfull someone offered a free lunch to them in the first place.
Besides, there is still a free version anyway. The whole MT and blog community has made a mountain out of a mole hill.
But that's professional printing your talking about. They ain't going to be buying standard paper anyway, no matter if it's imperial or metric, so the point is kinda redundant. Anyway, I still don't get why the Imperial system is better in that case...It just means narrower pages, which is the case anyway when comparing the two. If anything, narrower is better because it is easer to read (not that the difference between the two is that great anyway).
And I'm sorry, but the metric way isn't dumb in practice. There are far more people using paper at home or in offices than there are print houses. BTW, what are you other examples? I hope you not going to bring out the tempurature argument.
Take it like a man, the metric system is better 99% of the time. There is no point it trying to argue against it.
Talk about a poor defence. Narrow is better if you're talking about the written word. It's much easier to read stuff in a narrow collumn; ever seen a newspaper or a magazine?
I'm not sure why you think a square is the most effecient shape for writting. An infinitly long strip would be best for acctual writting.
I think the problem is the most people think that socialism == state socialsm or totalitarianism. There is such a thing as libertarian socialism (AKA anarchism) for one thing.
People like Einstein get a hard time because of misconceptions like this.
If someone says they're a socialist, it may mean they're a state socialist, or it may mean they believe in some of the concepts in socialism, and their views on the state could be many things.
I meant diffraction, not refraction. Slight error on my part. I agree that noise is the problem. I suppose it depends on what you mean by noise. I think that smaller sensors would be more sensitive to noise caused by heat and electromagnetic interferance affecting the sensor, but also noise cause by diffraction when the light passes though the lens and air, hits the microlenses and the sensor it's self etc.
Diffration! That's the word I was looking for...

My point is not light requirement, but the noise. The smaller you make the sensor size, the more prone it is to the effects of light refraction etc caused by the lens, air, and anything else the light travels through/near on the way to the sensor.
There is a limit to the useful physical resolution of a sensor. I've played around with pinhole cameras. It's well knowen that the smaller you make the pinhole, the better focus/resolution you will get...to a point. After that, the effects of refraction etc cancel out any gain in resolution.
I'm parroting, but I do have a fairly good idea. I don't want to try and recit a large thread of conversations about the intricities of lenes, light, and CCDs...I will most definitly get it wrong.
Here's a link.
If you're interested enough, you can do the research youself.
I'm not obliged to explain myself. I was just pointing out that I thought his arguments were common knowledge.

On a side note (I could be a bit wrong here): Optical zoom ain't everything. There are quite a few high optical zoom cams around that are fairly cheap. They do this by using a smaller CCD, or taking a crop from the CCD, not using it's full resolution.
Take a look at this.
Both, when powered up, have a lens barrel which is the same size (and I'm betting the lenses are quite similar). One is a 10x with 3.1MP (and assumed smaller sensor size), the other is 6x with 6.3MP. I don't think it would be possable to have the 6.3MP sensor with the 10x zoom without using a bigger lens, else they probably would have released a model like it by now.
It all depends of what you use it for I guess. But I'd rather have the bigger sensor and crop the images.

Take some valium and stop being such an asshole.
A small publishing business is a bit different from a print house.
Flamebait? Guess I am right.

Not sure about the relationship between the two. But I do know that the metric paper sizes are sometimes refered to as the silver ratio.
Is the US Letter based on the golden ratio?

It's damn important when you have to print many things a certain size but dont't have the right paper (or printer doesn't doesn't support it).
Get over youself and just admit that the metric paper system makes more sence ;)
Uh...why would you want space between the 2 peices of paper?
Sheesh... Talk about read between the lines when there is nothing there.
Where do you think the electric motor gets it's energy from?
Like China? ;)
Don't you Americans have speed cameras?
Hell, most people don't have the skills to drive a normal car. Some bearly have the skills to drive a normal car at normal speeds aswell ;)

Food for thought anyway.
