Flexing may be less of a problem in a telescope than problems with differential cooling of a thick lens.
They even say to leave your camera out in the outdoor temperature for a while before shooting rather than taking it outdoors from inside, because the temperature difference can distort images during the cooling down phase.
I could have expressed what I meant better. What I mean is, most people don't know the difference between a screen showing them the contents of their hard drive and a screen showing them a website, or a screen from an app like flickr uploader. I've had people ask me if Word opens slowly because the internet speed is slowed...
I bought a fake "security camera" for $12, just has a blinking red LED, no other real electronics... and mounted it on a pole peeking above my fence on our dead end.
Instant effects. No more people parking to have sex or eat McDonald's and throw the trash on my lawn, no more people stealing flowers or attempting to hide in my property, even the neighbors are paranoid about the "surveillance."
Most people don't understand the difference between their web browser and the file manager.
Unless you're in a very rich neighborhood which attracts high-end catburglars out of the movies, the presence of a few strange boxes with red lights is more than enough to make them go away.
...the concerns about Google and privacy have next to nothing to do with what hackers might do with the data Google collects on you, rather than what Google will do with it.
Why do you play back at those speeds? Not questioning your use, I use VLC too. Just wondering what your application is, etc.
What I like about VLC is the number of ways you can easily correct for fucked-up and badly transferred video. Resynch audio, brighten videos, change subtitle position and font, etc. That and the fact that it will play anything you throw at it without installing buggy or virus-laden "codec packs."
The tech who gives you an x-ray, CT or MRI scan won't give you the images either.
Nor really true anymore, but not for the reason you'd expect. So many hospitals send you to private locations for imaging these days that you often ARE given your MRI and CT scan results simply because you're expected to cart them to your Dr. yourself. Saves them a buck.
Also, many hospitals no longer put casts on broken limbs, they simply diagnose & xray and send you with the xrays to an orthopedist.
I scanned the xrays of my broken ankle and put them on Flickr.
When I got a CT scan of my head, I used images of my brain as my Facebook profile photo.
When I got an MRI they handed me the data disc to take to the Dr. I made a copy, figured out the strange image format and will post those to flickr some day when I'm bored.
Meanwhile when I got to the Dr. with the original disc, I ended up having to show HIM how to use the included app and view the images.
...that ask for your first pet, because while people can figure out my current and even some former pets, there's nobody I've probably even told in REAL life about my first pet, Aflie, a baby chick I had for a few days. So with that question I'm totally safe.
We need fair markets and an end to monopolies. How monopolistic companies and cartels manage to survive while in a fair open market is THEIR problem. If they can't solve it, their competition or new players will.
You *might* have to face giving up your favorite TV show in exchange for not having rigged government/industry collusion.
In order to stop Facebook from tracking you you need to: 1. install and use NoScript. 2. block cookies 3. install and use Ghostery for web bugs etc. 4. install and use AdBlock to help block the "like" button, plus ads from ad networks that collaborate with Facebook, etc. 5. NEVER sign up for Facebook and never visit their site so they can't grab your IP address. 6. Probably several other things that I haven't even thought of.
Facebook can spy on every website you ever visit that has a Facebook "like" button. They then sell the information about what you view online, combined with who you interact with on facebook, who lists you as a relative on Facebook, who names you in photos... and YOUR IMAGE if someone tags you in a Facebook photo using their face recognition software.
Exactly. Nobody ever said that the general misogynist culture doesn't also effect MEN badly too, it does. Labels us as all potential rapists who just can't help ourselves, you know?
"Though the study focused on women, there's no reason to believe the results would be any different in men, according to Dr. Robert Yolken." "Other smaller studies have been carried out in both men and women, and they find the same thing," he said. "The No. 1 source is probably undercooked meat,"
But hey, don't let information get in the way of your game of misogynist ping-pong.

It took almost 20 years of hard work at RCA to develop the CED video disc format. You know, the discs where a needle in a groove picks up the video. Hit the market a few years after the laser disc.
What, you mean you've never heard of it? Not too surprising, actually.
Not that I'm defending that, mind you. It's just that I recognize what the authorities do and what frightened authoritarians cheering them on like to see.

Baloney. I just argued with it myself.
It's a pushover.
The nerve of the guy, talking about the market for cars in comments about an article about the market for cars.

Naw, in this case it's just not knowing the difference between downloading data from the net and opening a file on the harddrive.

You're assuming that all of Google's planned use of this data is benign.

I'd say you could use some therapy.

Exactly. You should only trust faith healers and chiropractors.
And homeopaths.

No we don't.
We need fair markets and an end to monopolies.

The horror.
Actually they DO care. They have deleted accounts with names they decided were "not real."
G+ does not allow people to use pseudonyms, officially.

Yes, they do.
My point? My point is that companies are doing this. You have NO privacy, you are tracked, packaged and sold.
Facebook can spy on every website you ever visit that has a Facebook "like" button. They then sell the information about what you view online, combined with who you interact with on facebook, who lists you as a relative on Facebook, who names you in photos... and YOUR IMAGE if someone tags you in a Facebook photo using their face recognition software.
Which they package and sell.
Happy privacy.
I didn't hesitate.
Fuck the US government.
The key is to organize your life so that such things can have no impact on you either way. Like me, for example - I'm unemployable. Problem solved.
...trying to bend us all to their will, paying off the sheriff to string us up.
We respond by passing limits on the length of rope.

If you RTFA you'd see:
"Though the study focused on women, there's no reason to believe the results would be any different in men, according to Dr. Robert Yolken."
"Other smaller studies have been carried out in both men and women, and they find the same thing," he said.
"The No. 1 source is probably undercooked meat,"
But hey, don't let information get in the way of your game of misogynist ping-pong.
So do you support a ban on all corporate campaign contributions?

But yeah, they're SMART, they are.
You'd get shot with a rubber bullet or tazed.
