No way. This was a full 6 years prior to GWB taking office, and as we all know, there were no terrorists prior to W taking office. The world was filled with peace lovers who were all too busy performing fellatio on president Clinton to perform any terrorist acts. I guess this just goes to prove that Wikipedia is in fact filled with wild inaccuracies. Or the right wing press.
I hear you - I stopped going to my local Blockbuster simply because it is a franchise store, and they do not honor any of the "corporate" promotions. The sad thing is, corporate will end up footing the bill for this, and these shyster franchise stores will happily keep raping their customers...
What a piece of crap lameness filter - I would love to have posted the full exif data, but some retard at Slashdot apparently thinks punctuation and white space are not valid.
Anyway - The photo was exposed for 1/20 at F5.6 - At this speed, and given the clarity, it was almost certainly on a tripod, or stabilized some other way. Other than that, it has been run through ACDSee, which could be because it was a raw photo, or because it was edited.
Apps that support 16bpp - well, that's easy. cinepaint does (32 bits per channel, in fact), ImageMagick does, probably most other software that can deal with 16 bit formats as well. Even Gimp can load them, and downsamples them - however, you cannot save to 16 bit formats. I think you are mistaking Gimp for image processing under Linux...
There is no software for linux that has anything resembling a passable workflow for digital photography.
Sure there is - but like most things in Linux, the pretty user interface is missing. What do you want to do to all of your photos? Adjust white balance? Scale for web posting? Put a water mark in place? Apply USM to every photo? Tone down those overblown reds? All you need is ImageMagick. In my opinion, it is a more powerful tool than Gimp for batch processing, unless you want to learn Gimp-perl - that might be quite an undertaking for a busy professional though.
Color management is the real downfall of image processing under Linux. Yes, I know gimp has some rudimentary color management, but if you are a pro, your monitor needs to be calibrated too. I have not found a good tool for color management under X yet.
Actually, I have a friend stationed at Fort Bliss - he had PRK done last week, sponsored by the Army. That's right - they have to train their doctors, so PRK is acceptable, at least when it is performed by Army surgeons.
Actually, judging from the emails I get, the pen1s enlargement industry stands to make billions. When that happens, then we will be talking about something that is going to be huge!
Seems like nobody caught that part. Here is the deal with Gimp. It is like Linux in many ways - it is graphical manipulation at the lowest level, where you manipulate abstract concepts like chroma and luminancy, layers and channels, and do (often) unintuitive things to come up with a clever way to manipulate an image into something more desireable.
For $600, Photoshop will hide some of that for you, and give you 25% more features that are licensed technologies from other companies (meaning there is a reason they don't make it into the Gimp). It is also packaged behind a pretty interface, which was designed by an expensive committee which specializes in user interfaces.
Now, I don't mean to deride Photoshop at all - it IS a fantastic app. This comparison was probably fair, except that the reviewer is a typical Mac user. The Macintosh has this wonderful habit of trying to protect users from their own stupidity without recognising its own.
I had plans - I was going to mod your comment down becuase you are a flaming liberal with no grasp of reality, but A) that is sadly not a choice when modding a post down, and B) I don't have any moderator points right now.
What are you, 14 or something? Are breasts all you can think about? You are not saying anything by showing a woman's breasts. Besides, I seriously doubt you would go to jail for such a thing - PETA does that type of thing all the time for attention.
I think the original poster was trying to say that we can pretty much state our opinion in the U.S. without fear of reprisal. There are exceptions - I can't request you to kill someone for me for example. But I can criticize my government, I can criticize U.S. policy, and I can sure as hell criticize your post.
Rather, it says that fossil fuel, and the process it goes through to get to the point that it is useable for a fuel (including the several thousand years it spends underground), is inefficient. The same cars running on grain alcohol use considerably less, as far as I know - I can't imagine 4 tons of corn being used to produce a gallon of grain alcohol...
So, I didn't see the most obvious question answered (or even asked for that matter): Will Palm OS 5 run on, say, an iPAQ? I bought one a while back to replace a stolen Visor, and have been regretting it ever since. Palm OS 5 could be the best solution for me, since I don't want to buy another $400 palmtop...
it's very difficult to objectively compare AMD and Intel CPU's now due to the drastically different architectures.
The primary difference is actually the chipset, and not the chip itself (at least in the case of DDR vs. SDR memory). That being said, look back at comparisons between any DDR and SDR system - memory bandwidth is dramatically increased, but real world performance rarely improves more than marginally. What I am trying to say is, it's fair to compare the 2 chips, especailly since they run the same software.
It's a shame they used so much technology for a device which doesn't have the range to get most people to work in the morning. But, let's assume it did. My 30 minute commute would now take an hour, and I would have to do it in the rain on many days, not to mention the cold. Do you think my employer is going to let 5000 people charge these things up at work? I doubt it. To top it off, I could ride my bike, which cost roughly 1/30 the price of an as-yet-unavailable $3000 segway, get a free workout (good thing, considering my fat ass is plasterd to the couch!), get to work FASTER, and not have to recharge it. Ever. Plus, there are no microchips required, and guess what? It stays balanced too! Not bad for a low-tech piece of equipment...

Actually, that is quite a show stopper - consider for a minute what happesn when you spawn a new shell. Does your profile get sourced? What happens to any environment variables you set in the new shell? I have seen many scripts which rely specifically on this feature, and therefore will not work in ksh or bash.
There must be a way to get an HD signal back in though - many set top boxes have HD15 (read: VGA) out, which can plug directly into any monitor capable of displaying the resolution generated by the signal (highest is 1920x1080 interlaced, but there are 18 total). Is there a VGA - in device for a PC? If so, that would be the ideal way to capture HDTV signals...
If this is true, then congratulations - as a recent father myself (my son was born 6 weeks ago today!), I have to say it's the greatest thing in the world, despite the total lack of sleep:-)

"their relative unpredictability on the road are nonetheless leading to more accidents than expected."
So, self-driving cars don't use turn signals either?
And the Pro Audio Spectrum 16 - I think I still have mine in a box in the garage :P

Is this nine years in Supermax/leavenworth breaking rocks, or is it nine years in white-collar minimum security for dysfunctional mob accountants?
It's 9 years in a federal ass pounding prison...

Read your contract carefully - your unlimited data means you don't pay extra for data charges - the minutes still count against your air time...
Actually, they have been making cell phones for some time which do nothing but place and receive calls - maybe you should get one of those instead...
No, it was Transparent Aluminium.
That was only in the British version. This kind of thing happens when your language splits, which is why we have colors instead of colours.

I have been generating electricity by wearing my socks and walking on carpet for years! Of course, I lose it all when I touch a door handle...
