Digital has the disadvantage though if you forget the file format it was stored in your out of luck. With film all you need is a spool and a flash light.
Then use a simple, discoverable format for archival. You don't want compression here anyway, because in uncompressed material bit errors have less consequences. So just store each image row for row, each row pixel for pixel, each pixel as red-green-blue. Add some basic information (frame dimension, color depth, frame rate) at the beginning of the file in plain ASCII. Use straight amplitude data for the sound. Again, add format information in ASCII on the beginning.
That's simple enough that anyone who has even the most basic idea how video and audio works can reverse-engineer the format in short time should the specification ever get lost.
That way, the main problem is keeping the bits intact.
The movie cameras are used to shoot the raw material. What typically gets archived is the final result. Which usually today is created on the computer anyway. When production of machines which copy video files onto film is stopped, then it's time for the achivists to worry.
Greed is an expression of self interest - and self interest is what drives society.
Greed is not just self-interest. Greed means putting self-interest above everything else, at least as far as material things are concerned. Self interest is not bad. Putting self interest above everything else is.
When your desire is to break, you definitely do want energy to go out of moving forward. So activating the dynamo to take some of the energy out would actually have the desired effect in that case.
Would a regenerative braking system be too heavy to be worth it?
From the bike's manual: "If you don't have enough energy to trigger the break, trigger the break in order to gain energy from regenerative breaking. That energy can then be used to trigger the break.":-)
Cause and effect. You have them the wrong way around.
No. The argument in TFA goes as follows:
Europeans arrive -> Native Americans get decimated -> Native Americans destroy less forest -> forests grows -> less CO2 -> colder climate.
Now replace the first step with black death, and Native Americans with Europeans: Black Death -> Europeans get decimated -> Europeans destroy less forest -> forest grows -> less CO2 -> colder climate
If this theory is right, I think a similar effect should have occurred after the black death in Europe. Does anyone know if it got colder at that time?
Well, of two atoms/molecules of different mass, it's obvious that one has to be lighter than the other (note that having the same mass would be something in need of explanation; having different mass is the expected case). And we happened to give the name "Helium" to one of the lightest (not the/em> lightest; hydrogen is even lighter).

Oh, and don't forget to proofread! :-)
Well, less than and greater than signs are done with < (<) and > (>).

Same is true of film actually.

In the new version, Han will not shoot at all, but Greedo will die from a heart attack.

So you don't like happy microbes? Or why do you think they should not get any recreation? :-)

I see, you still think the laws are made there. I mean, really made there, not only formally.
Well, it certainly costs sweat. Maybe it also costs tears. But if it costs blood, they are doing something horribly wrong.
Only whiners whine about whiners.
Think about it.
When the breaks gradually go into breaking mode when the battery dies, I see no problem (sorry for spoiling the fun).
Ah, I see I'm not the only one who breaks his brakes. :-)
s/break/brake/ in my entire post! ... so maybe it's just more realistic that way. :-)
But then, it's a manual
Errr ... of course I meant desire to brake. :-)

But 60% less humans still need 60% less wood, right? And also they use 60% less land for agriculture.

Same line of reasoning.
Wouldn't removing all the trees ect have caused a warming? Not cooling...
Title seems backwards.
No, the title is right, the summary is wrong in writing "deforestation" instead of "reforestation".
If this theory is right, I think a similar effect should have occurred after the black death in Europe. Does anyone know if it got colder at that time?
There is: Switch off your phone.
Only if they add randomness to the encryption; otherwise the encrypted ID will be as constant and therefore as identifying as the unencrypted one.
So what're you going to do about it?
Walk across the border to New Zealand?
Stop buying stuff and starve to death?
Order stuff over the Internet?
Grow your own food?
Buy your food directly from the next farmer?
