to get the bond, then why can't they use the same technique to simply stop all unauthenticated email. If the sender is forced to use their real name, spam will stop pretty fast.
Your paying for the time it takes to make that print, the test prints, the times i have to stop and just stare at it trying to decide what wil make it really sing. You're paying for an artist to capture the moments and present them as best they can.
If this is true, why do photographers get upset when you take a picture of a scene they set up. They should be happy you'll see how much better it comes out when they print their own image, and you'll be more willing to pay the high price for their version of it because you'll see there's more to it than pushing a button. Clearly, this isn't the case.
You're not buying a picture of yourself, you're buying how I saw you, wanted to see you for that moment.
Yes, and I'm paying you for the service of creating that image; therefore I should own the image. Just like my company pays me for what many people on slashdot consider the creative work of writing software, and I have no problem with the fact that the company owns it even though it's my vision of what the software should be.
Do you really need 1000 negs of your wedding?
This one is really great...do you really need 1000 negs of *my* wedding? You're arguing that you have a greater need for the negs of my wedding than I have have. Very smart.
On another note, keep in mind, this person has to pay his expenses, (eqiupment, rent, insurance, assistants, accountants, lawers, etc.) There is a lot of work that goes into a wedding from the consultations to the shooting, to the final output. If you want someone to show up, get paid for the day, give you the film or cd at the end of the day and be done with you you can find those people as well.
So? Include it in your price; if you're reasonable about it I will pay it, if you're not, I won't. Why in the world would I want to give you the power to prevent me from publishing photographs of my wedding?
Another thing; do you pay for the flowers and other decorations? The tux rentals? The bridesmaid's dresses? My relatives to travel in from out of town and stay in a hotel? The fee for the site where the wedding is? The food that's so important to setting the mood you're capturing? No, I didn't think so. It's pretty clear that in addition to paying your salary, I'm putting a lot more money into setting up "your" pictures than you are.
The caterers don't charge my guests to eat the food after I've paid theim to prepare it. Why do you charge them to print or publish the photographs I've paid you to take?
That way, you are simply falling freely, having been launched into the air, and the plane is moving in such a way that its walls remain around you throughout your fall.
Anything in free-fall is effectively at zero gravity. The plane climbs to a high altitude and goes into a dive.
The ISS is at an altitude of about 370km. With Earth having a diameter of 6000km and using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravity on the space station should be 88% of what it is on earth's suface. (6000/6370)^2.
The reason it is a zero gravity environment is because it is orbiting the Earth. That means it is effectively in freefall, always falling towards the Earth, but it has enough sideways motion that it keeps falling around the planet.
What does that have to do with my assertion that it's stupid to buy hardware now based on a feature MS is supposedly working on for a future release of Windows?
You're saying it's good to get a tablet now because supposedly MS is working on a nice feature for it for a future version of windows? MS are the people who invented vaporware.Remember windows 93..I mean 94 1/2...I mean 95?
Also, if you buy the hardware now, you'll be paying the MS tax now, and then you'll have to pay for a windows upgrade later. It seems more like to follow your advice we should avoid a tablet today.
No, I'm not trying to mock the MD technology. It is my preferred portable audio format. I hate Sony, but the MDs are just so much better than anything else out there (iPod included). If anything, I'm mocking the streaming services.
I have one of the earlier NetMD players though, I don't have many options for loading data to it. I do have access to a Mac though, so I'll have to take a look at Audio Hijack. Assuming it lets me create mp3s from the stream, I can load them to the MD walkman. If it could accept an audio signal, I wouldn't have even asked.
The was the game Gorilla that came as a sample BASIC program with later versions of MS-DOS. The gorillas were throwing bananas at each other, but then again, it was black and white graphics:).
A few weeks ago they were getting attacked here for making it too strong (they brew it double strength). Slashdotters were accusing them of being drug dealers making it stronger to keep the addicts coming back.
It is the brewed coffee that is stronger; the espresso drinks are mostly milk.
Best buy sales people will say anything to get a sale. Every time there's a discussion here about best buy, lots of people brag about how they've screwed over customers.
In the defense of best buy employees, it's caused by a corporate structure that demands it as well as a large part of employees salaries being based on commission.
It's not a matter of better employee training, it's a matter of redefining the entire corporate philosophy. That's not going to happen
First, it was a joke with some basis in fact and your attempt to refute it included plenty of fact to base the joke on.
Using your own number of 1000 times more powerful; so that 15 minutes experiment shows you what 15000 minutes of exposre does. 15000 minutes is less than 11 days; it's not that much.
TLC is *not* the learning channel, and they haven't called themselves that for several years. When they were the learning channel, they had shows like "Connections", "The Operation", and "The Secret Life of Machines".
They don't even pretend to have educational content now; they're marketing themselves as the reality show channel and they have crap like "Trading Spaces", "Clean Sweep", and "What Not to Wear". They are sub-fox in their level of sensationalism too.
When fox did their "magic secrets revealed", it was TLC that did matching shows pretending all the tricks were real and supernatural.
Now if there's any channel called "The Learning Channel" or showing any of the 3 shows I listed for it, I'd be very interested in knowing about it.
Yes, that's why the Redundant moderation exists. Early on I did check for that and most of the time the post is not redundant. When you're M2ing, try it some time; you'll quickly find it's not worth the effort of looking it up.
A lot of idiots with mod points think it's safe to mod things they don't like redundant becase they figure most people in M2 are too lazy to check if it really was redundant so it will just be M2'd fair.
They're half right, that's why I always M2 everything redundant as unfair.

In other words, the plane is also in free fall

That should be Earth has a radius of 6000km. The calculation is correct though since it uses the radius.

As of now, his post is rated +4. If the moderators won't even RTF summary, why should the posters?

Not if the RIAA has anything to say about it
All that for some weak ass coffee.
What do you do, dry and smoke the coffee?

Put a piece of raw meat in your microwave. Set it for 15 minutes. Look at it when the 15 minutes are up and you can answer your own question.

I also used to get TLC on my StarChoice dish -- the same channel Rogers offers on channel 34. They do not call themselves The Learning Channel.

I read this a few days ago and when I saw it here it was obvious the submitter worked very hard to avoid letting a few facts spoil his fun.
I find there is quite a bit of overlap in programming between Discovery, History, Nat. Geo. and the Learning Channel.
There's a learning channel again? Who carries it, I'd love to subscribe.
My post might be off-topic or flamebait, but there is no way it's redundant. All you've done is helped prove my point.

Just one flaw with that scenerio. Dell's marketing drones aren't that intelligent.
I have a CB radio from the mid-80's that has a touch-plate along both sides and uses the body of the person holding it as an antenna.
Then your physics class is wrong. Voltage is a unit, not a property. The property is (E)lectromotive Force.
