The image noise is probably more due to the ludicrously small CCD unit (4.54 x 3.42 mm) that Casio are using. As a comparison the 2.8 MP Nikon D1H uses a largish CCD of 23.7 x 15.5 mm and I know which one would give better photos, lenses notwithstanding.
The ceramic lens would impact the sharpness of the photo more.
Except that this isn't how a monopoly works. Most people are willing to just make do with whatever they've got. Plus, you're also assuming that they know something better is out there.
You need to understand that most people are AFRAID of their computers. I've seen grown people pick up a mouse and move it through the air, then complain that the mouse isn't working.
If this is the case then wouldn't giving people a media player when they get their new computer be a great help for those users who don't know how to go and find a media player that suits their needs?
By bundling WMP with windows, Microsoft is using their monopoly on OSes to dominate the media player market. They have already done this in the web browser market. The relative merits of the players are irrelevant, only that Microsoft is abusing its monopoly powers.
If the competitors in the markets they are moving into produced a better product, then they would have nothing to complain about.
The RealPlayer installer, for instance, should be picked up by Norton's and quarantined before you can even install it.
Hey dude, not every woman can breastfeed you know.
My wife tried for 3-4 days to breastfeed our son, due to unknown reasons her milk didn't come and our son started refusing to attach properly. He took to a bottle of formula like a fish to water.
He is now 6 months old, growing quickly, weighs 10.5 kg and seems to be healthier than the breastfed babies of the same age.
Tech market is very bad, especially for guys like me who have pretty good resumes (I've been a sysadmin, programmer, consultant... people see my resume and they're like shit, we only need a programmer, not this other stuff).
What? You don't customise your resume for each job you apply for?
In the current market, it is a must to target your resume towards the job you are applying for. If they want a programmer, scale back the sysadmin detail while emphasising your programming skills. Don't go and lie because you WILL get caught out, but just expand on the truth and sell yourself to the companies. You will be surprised at how well this works.
BTW If the chick was really hot, it is worth the risk of a beating from her old man...
That is a really pissweak way of quitting if you don't mind me saying so.
Running away isn't going to fix anything. You should have given your original presentation and added a slide to the end saying that if the trainees have any questions, please see the person who made the process changes.
You would still have a chance at losing your job but you would have a ton more fun in the process.
I may be on the left coast, but not the left coast of North America. Plus the left coast of Australia is geologically stable.
If the left coast of the USA gets an earthquake soon, Chicago, Detroit and New York get hit by a massive blizzard, a few tornadoes in the south, can we start to assume that the higher beings hate the US?

You can't terminate ASP.NET without first killing off it's parent ASP.
It will only breed and start again...
Eventually, if you go to heaven, Jordan will be there doing massive dunks. If you go to hell, you get to see Bill Gates...
Brand recognition still exists, even in the afterlife.
You have a point, but if you have two 6 MP CCDs, one 5 mm x 5 mm and the other 25 mm x 25 mm. The larger CCD will take the better photo.
This is one case where smaller is not necessarily better.
1024 x 768 is only 0.8 MP, not 3 MP.
3 MP is more like 2048 x 1536.

Is a Nikcon just a rebadged Nikon?
BTW Ceramic lenses are usually of lesser quality than glass lenses.
What I want to see is cheaper glass lenses for my Canon...
Why can't you type it here? Forgotten the words?
Or does it have some nasty cuss words in it?
Oooh scary. God will smite thee for even thinking the words...
In the meantime, cue the fond memories of games long past...

You don't need to make fun of AOL, they do it to themselves...
Plus AOL users take it personally and I don't want a crazed redneck chasing me with a shotgun.
Must be Spam day on /. today...
Mmmmm... Spam-burger...
Damn, that is one ugly building...
CMU may have a good CS program but I'll steer clear of their architects.
I think you are confusing Anti-American with Anti-Bush.
USian people are generally good people, when the US Navy come to Perth, Australia, they are very polite and show the good side of the US.
Pity the country is being run by a fool...
Is Sony in partnership with Jerry Bruckheimer and his crappy CSI show?
Don't forget guarding the ship...

Put in your 2 week notice today, take a sick day tomorrow. Come in the following day all happy and jovial, take the next day as a sick day. Repeat.
It works better than expected. By the second sick day they work out the deal and you get the next week off fully paid.
Could also be a way of spotting the not so obvious toupe wearers amongst us...

Surely you must be kidding.
If Al Gore is a higher being, then we are all fscked...
I think it was proven early last year that the space shuttles can't handle mild impacts all that well.
Babes?
There are only babes in Florida if you are into 80 year old women or bucktooth yokel chicks...
Some higher being must be really pissed off with Florida.
