It is possible to have compressed RAW files, but it takes longer to write to the card, meaning that your ability to fire bursts of shots is limited once the buffer gets full.
I think if there is an EMP Pulse you will have more things to worry about than driving to work. Besides, where will the fuel come from to power the old fashioned engines? I don't think the world oil infrastructure would be too efficient if you took all the electronics out of it.
Maybe while you are at it you should replace the headlights on your non ECU cars with oil lamps so that you can drive them at night too.
As an owner of a 993 I am very suprised that you have not made the distinction between a rear and mid engined car. Where the "trunk" is really has nothing to do with it. Ferrari has never made a rear engined car. Another pointer that you don't know what you are talking about - the 612 is not a collector's item, in fact it is only released in a few months. It is the replacemnt for the 456.
You DO know that this is a rear-engine car? Unless you live in the US in the deep south, rear engined cars are commonplace. VW Beetle, VW Bus, Porsche 911, most Ferraris...
Er, no.
You obviously do not know about engine layout, or about Ferraris. There has never been a rear engined Ferrari. You are getting confused with the mid engine layout, where the engine is in between the two axles. A true rear engined car has the engine behind the rear axle, like the Porsche 911 you mention. Just because the engine is behind the driver does not mean it is rear engined. The opposite example is the new Mercedes SLR McLaren, which is also mid engined, but the engine is in the front of the car.
You are also wrong about "most ferraris" being rear[mid] engined. Take the last 4 for example, only one is not front engined (456 front, 550 front, 360 mid, 612 front) Historically you will also find that the ratio of mid/front engined cars is not so high after all.
They are being paid to do a certain amount of work, why is it wrong that the employer knows if they are doing this work or not? It's not as if they are collecting more personal data and giving it out. Is this worse than time stamping cards like they used to do? As far as I am concerned it is much easier for both the employer and the employee.
The problem here will be transfer rates. I do not knwo a huge amount about digital video, but I doubt whether these drives could keep up, unless the new breeds have largely increased performance.
I take photos fior a living, and have done tests comparing JPEGs with TIFFs from my two cameras (Nikon D1X and D100). There is really only an incredibly small difference between the two types, when the JPEG is at it's highest setting, and consequently I never, ever, use the TIFF format. RAW is a different thing altogether since it gives you added exposure latitude to play with after you take the photo, amongst other things. But TIFF is not worth the extra storage space, EVER.
1. Don't take on any partners. My company had 3 owners. If it had had one owner and 2 employee's I'd still be in business. Multiple owners means that profit is divided. While you're getting started, you have to live off of whatever miniscule profit you generate. If you have to divide those profits three ways, you're going to have to learn to love Top Ramen.
I don't think I agree to this one, although all the others seem to make sense. If you have a limited amount of money to survive with, then you are more likely to be able to do it by sharing with partners than by paying salaries. Unless your employees are very understanding, then they will want their money regardless of how the company is doing, and this could be the end if there is not enough to pay them. With partners, everyone has an interest in keeping the company afloat, and will not want to take money if it means they and the company go under.
I only use digital equipment now, no point at all in film for me. But I can see that you may want to get started that way, so go for it. I can tell you though that without digital I would never have got into photography like I am now, since you really are restricted in the number of shots you will take, either by money or time. Practice makes perfect, so you do need to take a LOT of photos for experience.
From an equipment point of view, I use Nikons. But... if I were to start from scratch I would take up Canon instead. I think Nion make sightly better camera bodies, but Canon lenses are better value (USM focussing almost standard, better mount design etc.) This may not be important now if you are getting cheapo manual stuff, but if you start upgrading you will be glad to be on the Canon "side"
You have your figures wrong. ITMS has had a revenue of $20 million (0.99c/song), not of $3 million. I think the $3 million is the profit apple has taken from it. Therefore you should be comparing the $6 million a month in subscrition to $20million/7, which is just under million a month. When you then compare that to the single biggest other store, Rhapsody, they will only be taking $2.5 million a month, less than apple.
Don't forget there is a string in between them , holding the coconut, so the added air resistance will cause the speed to be not as much as double the speed of one swallow
you can see a sneak peek of those when Frodo looks into the water with Galadriel; you can see Frodo, Sam, Merry, and the other hobbit chained up together and forced into a small cottage. Where else would that scene occur than the Shire? And they show Frodo's house, the hill, completely burned away
Actually Galadriel says that the things seen in the water might come to pass, not directly that they will if Frodo fails. Anyway, if you read the book you will know that there are not Orcs rampaging in the shire at the end, so in no way should the vision with Galadriel be taken to mean it will happen. Therefore no problem with not filming it.
In the UK the governemt gives grants to cheapen the cost of conversion to LPG. The cost is more like $3000 than $50, so it's not quite as good as you say. Also, you do not just switch tanks at fuel staions, there is a pretty complicated sequence of air-tight seals and valves to re-fill the tank. Not to mention the fact that you are not allowed on the channel tunnel if you have a converted car.
I went to a "good" school in Englnd - Eton College. I would say the average height of people in their last year there is over 6 feet. Out of 10 of us in my house, all but two were over 6'1" by the time we left. It's pretty much the same in other schools I know of, so I am guessing that there is something related to a good (read expensive) upbringing, and your height. Maybe better and more rounded nutrition? Anyway, it would follow that people that went to these schools, and incidentally were taller, will go on to earn more than people who went to state schools, and happened to be shorter. I'm not going to go into why people from these schools earn more, but they do, and i don't think anyone will disagree with that.
Whoever wrote this article has not got their head screwed on straight. It claims that this modified 959 will get to 100mph in 11 seconds - that's a pile of rubbish. Considering the McLaren that they compare it to will get to 100 in just over 6 seconds. I reckon something like 7 is more appropriate for the 959.
hi there - I've done what you suggested for fun, but now, having changed it back, my computer always starts up in grayscale. So I have to go into system preferences to change it to colour. Pretty irritating. You dont know how to fix this by any chance do you? Cheers

try to advertise a product that exists ... who wants to buy the Brooklyn Bridge?
Are you saying the Brooklyn Bridge does not exist?

That depends if the ride is European or African
Or if you tie two of them together.

Hmmm, could the parent post possibly be meant to be taken as humour?
Oh how I love the reverse psychology karma whoring. But, oops, doesn't seem to have worked. Ho Ho Ho. Better luck next time!

Is the title meant to read "Automatic", or "Automagic" I thought it could be either - but looking at it now I don't think so.

Now, except for the one knob on the 'scope under my desk, all my interfaces to the outside world ARE buttons
You do that at work? That's what I do for fun!
The key words are 'I'm Feeling Lucky' - not 'I'm in the mood to be mentally scarred for fricking life
You think that site is bad?! It's nothing compared to this
Uncle Jim: "Hey Ned, are you jacking off?!"
Ned: "Mmmm, Kinda..."
