  1. Re:Why DSLR might not be right for you on Guide to your Perfect Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    The point is that the LCD screens have nowhere near enough resolution. Also, they work poorly in dark conditions. As to the SLR issue, SLR's don't split the optical path, there is a mirror that redirects it when not exposing the film/ccd.

  2. Re:What? You never heard of remakes??? on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 1

    The Ocean's 11 remake was perhaps better than the original.

  3. Re:OK, so now, what can we do. on Walmart Begins Rollout of RFID and EPC Tags · · Score: 1

    One wonders how one can be naked while at the same time being in home-made clothes?

  4. Re:Hmm on iTunes 4.5 Authentication Cracked · · Score: 1

    There must have been some math involved in the (psuedo)random code generator, therefore, it should be theoretically possible to crack the code. I'm not saying that this will be easy, or even do-able, but that the codes must follow some pattern.

  5. Re:Why digital camera? on Beyond Megapixels · · Score: 1

    For me the two main reasons that I chose digital were:

    -Price, while my Nikon E5700 cost me much more initially, the marginal cost of each shot is almost zero, allowing me much more room for experimentation

    -Convenience, having full EXIF data (shutter speed, aperture, focal length, etc.) stored with the image file makes it much easier to learn from my mistakes than if I had to take a notebook with me to record this information

  6. Re:Fly through Windows? on Microdrone Spy Planes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, exploding wouldn't be such bad idea as it wouldn't give the enemy any information about the plane itself.

  7. Re:Panic Button on Automagic No-Fly-Zone Enforcement · · Score: 1

    That's simply incorrect, and has been for years. Even the Space Shuttle has autopilot for landing. See Richard Feynam's (from the Challanger commission) book "What Do You Care What Other People Think?", page 191, talking about computers controlling the Space Shuttle.

    "The most dramatic thing is the landing. Once the astronauts know where they're supposed to land, they push one of three buttons - Marked Edwards, White Sands, and Kennedy - which tells the computer where the shuttle's going to land."

  8. Re:Taxpayer costs on GPS Slowly Changing How Things Are Done · · Score: 1

    Is that $9 Billion dollars in 2003 US$? If not, the GPS jumps up in price. I still would rather see money spent on GPS, than the EPA releasing a report reccomending how long our candle wicks should be.

  9. Reason for loss on Droning On · · Score: 1

    A possible reason that these drones are lost more often than mannded flights in combat areas, is that the DoD may be more likely to send the drones into high-risk situtations, than they are to send manned flights.
