Right now companies don't f'ing care if anyone actually uses the camera in a phone - camera phones are selling like hotcakes. Sales are after all what *matters* to a corporation. And just tell Thomas Pynchon people don't buy what they don't use.
How about if we could save 10,000 mentally deficient babies by sacrificing 1? You do realize that large mammals, including endangered species, are killed and maimed by mines?
Not to mention maximising the profit for Google. Every company who's stock traded higher that their IPO price the day of the IPO LOST an oppurtunity to make more money from the IPO (roughly float* difference (Day High - IPO)). Why shouldn't a company maximise the benefit of an IPO?
Most people in the US of A don't have any idea of the strengths and weaknesses of programs of American Universities, much less foreign schools. At that's for an undergraduate education. At the graduate level things get even more complex - there a numerous mediocre, or perhaps just good graduate schools who may have a single excellent graduate program/school.
"New York State has collected $440 million since 1991 in special taxes on cellphones. But only about $30 million of that has gone to the program named on most cellphone bills as the purpose of the tax: enhanced 911 service, which can help police, fire and ambulance dispatchers locate a cellphone caller in need of emergency help"
For all intents and purposes nobody uses the rod or furlong. Where they still survive is interesting to note though - horse racing still uses the furlong to denote race length, and canoeing portages are still measured in rods.
I think you mean to say "how much money people could save by buying generic drugs" Generics aren't available for everydrug, and generics don't always have the same QC
I've heard it said that we're about 3 years behind the US in terms of mentality, fashion and industry norms.
You probably heard that from someone in the US (or live in rural Canada). The people I've run into from Toronto or Vancouver are on par with the 1st world - but aligned more on European lines (example - more agressive use of text messaging on mobiles) than the US.
Carter of course! And he inherited the lousy economy of... Johnson. Of course this all breaks down with Eisenhower - he inherited the economy or Roosevelt!
There are actually 7 primary aberrations for a lens: Spherical Aberration, Coma, Astigmatism, Field Curvature, Distortion, Axial Chromatic Aberration, and Lateral Aberration. It's useful to remember that it's physically impossible for all of these quantities to be reduced to zero, i.e. a perfect lens is a physical impossibility.
The Diffraction limit is what has postponed the growth of Digital Photography - think of how much easier it would have been to follow the microprocessor route for development. Shrink feature size to increase performance, instead of continually increasing die size (expensive!)

Indeed! With the exception of some of the modern zoom lenses (especially the super zooms - which are only passable quality) there hasn't been much change in Prime Lenses in the past 20 years - with the exception of the introduction of plastic bodies. Cameras have changed - mostly from the integration of electronics into the body. Go look at an Optical Fab shop if you don't believe it - lenses are still ground the way they've been for 100 years.
Chromatic Aberration, while well known, is only one of MANY aberrations present in any lens (coma, astigmatism, distortion,...) What's important to know is that it is physically impossible to design a perfect lens - aberrations will ALWAYS be present. That said aberrations increase the further you get from the optical axis - which is why a fast lens, stopped way down, will usually give you the best image quality.
I know of a number of Semiconductor firms and fabs who have banned, or about to ban all non firm supplied tech equipment (phones, laptops, etc). This isn't because they don't trust their own employees to use their time wisely - it's for the same reason the government bans these devices in classified facilities - espionage. No exceptions. You think Field Service Engineers like being without their laptop?
You need to realize that in many cases staffers *are* the congressperson. An extreme example of this was Strom Thurmond - for the last 4 years of his term his Chief of Staff attended most all committee meetings and hearings for Strom.

The Cable is dock compatible. Add a dock if you want. I'd prefer the cable.
Is the rebar mesh used in the reinforced concrete construction suffiecently close to function as a Faraday cage?

Gee and I though respectable papers were owned by the Moonies!
Of course I was just reminded of the Krispy Kreme phenomena, so maybe I just need to move in different social circles....

Someone has missed the hundreds of buses filled with the elderly heading over the border to buy perscription drugs.

Come to think of it, a lot of science and math geeks have a naive view of science's place in epistemology.
That dovetails well with most of the world's (excluding the French) opinion of philospher's - they just don't care.

How are internal Democratic memos any different, than say, the internal Republican memos for an Energy commission?
As long as they set broad terms on usage this will prevent control of the process by some Johnny comelately.
Which camera are you using? My DX6440 is compatible with Win2k, WinXP - no CD necessary. Kodak's are also easier for Auntie to use.
Slightly off topic, but does any company offer a consumer level data warehousing service? It seems this would be a great commercial opportunity.
