I try to look at reviews every now and then to figure out if there are any driving sims worth getting, but when GTA is considered "realistic", I don't know what is *really* realistic. What else, of at least GPL level of realism, is out there? Preferrably with IMSA/SCCA GT type cars.
Most photo labs will make reprints from negs without a signed release, because what idiot would give you the negs, and not allow you to make copies? Only an idiot that can't figure out where the lens is methinks. So if the look good, he must have given you the release, and if they look bad, he can't really consider himself a pro, can he? Also, where are you getting "photo dye on 100-year archive paper"? Hint, the only 100+ year stuff out there *is* computer paper/ink. Granted, I would want halide, but "100-year": no, it's 70. Unless you use Kodak *shudder* 20year.
So most of your time is the editing and printing, right? Are you printing in-house? If so, what printer? If you're sending them out, tell me how much you love dealing with the printshop, and how getting request for reprints down the road really make you say "Yippie! More money and I don't even have to take anymore pictures. I love this easy stuff! Now I just have to get the lab to print this right and get it off to the customer, and it's $5 in my pocket! I love this job." Reprints suck.
First, as many people are saying, you can find photographers that will give you the negs, or CDs. Whether you can find a good one that you like in your area, I don't know, but they are out there. As far as the one you have talked to, what is "medium resolution"? It may be fine for the album prints (2MP is fine for 4x6), and keep you from hassling him for reprints other than the enlargement. One of the reasons many photographers are giving out the negs/CDs is because having to do reprints and deal with labs f'ing them up is a pita, and not really worth it. But you might also try approaching photographers with a request for a copyright release after a certain date, i.e. after June 2010, you get a release. That way, they are assured that you aren't interested in trying to rip them off now, but are only looking to the future when you may not be able to track them down (and when they almost certainly wont want to try and dig out that old crap to do a half dozen 4x6's for a scrapbook). That should at least get them thinking along the right lines. If you can work something like this, get it in writing, and dont lose it.
OK, so it's saying that there is at least 1 pair of primes differing by a set amount (trivially, 3,5 - k=2), one set of three primes (say, 3,7,11), one set of four, etc. So very neat, although not too similar to this proof. Now I'm off to Mathworld to check out the other referred theorems.
Sounds perfectly fair to me. I don't care which machine is theoretically faster, I don't care which does 'X' faster, when 'X' is something I don't do. I primarily run Linux on the workstations, and the question I would like answered is, which is faster for me? If the PPC is a faster chip, but anything I run on it is slower, then I don't really care if the chip is 'faster', it would a slower platform. Yes, some people would use it to compare just the chips, but it would not be a 'waste of time'.
Simple: it's centered on where the pointer thingy is. A three year old should be able to figure that out, idiot. What I'd like to know is how the fuck you could possibly work with a circle showing the extant of the brush area when you're using a pressure sensitive tablet.
moron.
I never used tvwm or vtwm, but I did use tvtwm. I really don't want to try and unscramble the geneology of them though, as I recall twm may - or may not - have stood for Toms Window Manager. God knows what the others may have stood for.
Looks fine to me. Did you happen to notice the image *is* 1600x1200 24bit color? And that's what I looked at it on, 1600x1200 24bit color. The icons looked a little large to me, but that's the opposite of what you're claiming. Oops, you say they look busy in 32-bit color. Well, much as I might like to, I can't afford a Parhelia, and that would only get me to 30bit anyway. What video card do you have? Your "solution" doesn't solve any problem you claim it does.
It might not last you all that long, actually. Had a chance a number of years ago to buy a large amount of silver epoxy from the G'ment. Got in touch with the engineers that were using it. My advice -- check the shelf life.
Yeah, just adjust those pictures on your laptop screen, hmmm... that looks good, take them in to print, and wonder why it's so dark (if the lab didn't correct anything), or so low contrast (if they did). Don't worry about gamma, or matching your monitor or anything. Now, I happen to love sRGB, since that's pretty much what the Fuji Frontier I use uses, but I have a some people trying to adjust things on laptops (I'm thinking of someone in particular with a Sony), and it leads to many headaches till you get them in, show them the histogram in Photoshop (everything it the darkest fifth), and show them the print next to some cheap monitor with the color temp adjusted and the brightness/contrast roughed in, and explain, they need to take action.
This is news? Ok, I suppose it is, but it was only a matter of time. Kodak's been laying people off left and right, they already stopped making slide projectors, are loosing contracts for mini-labs to Fuji everywhere, given the kiss-off to their valued dealers, and announced they will not be improving any of their film emulsions anymore. That's right: the Kodak film that's out now is the best it will ever be! Why on earth would they make film cameras anymore?
We just had an article in yesterday's paper about how obsolete some of the schools computers are. The state regs. (Maryland) call for at minimum, a PII w/ 64M RAM., and in our school district, 20% are less than this.

Well, in the late 80s, it was the best. It gave correct code, unlike IBM's,was fast, unlike Sun's, and was ANSI complient, unlike everyone else's.

That's 8.3% more.
Either he would consider 'y' a vowel, or doesn't understand english. Besides, 'y' is often a vowel. Next time, try 'cwm'.
The universe doesn't turn off everynight either. Understand your fallacy now?

So you won't run linux because of the license philosophy, but Solaris, Windows, and OSX are OK? That's pretty screwy.

Sounds like armed robbery. Would you care to dispute the tired old bullshit about something called a "treaty" - I heard we had a few of those too.
