It's just as funny as when the guys from the Man Show were walking around getting women to sign a petition to ban "Women's Suffrage". Every woman they asked signed it.
Like the time we at Borland International (circ:1991ish) released our Quattro Pro product with a nice image on the back of the box illustrating a new macro language added to the product.
The code snippet in the image was a macro that logged you into our R&D server including addresses, passwords, etc...
Take it from a guy that's been in I.T. for 15 years and doesn't have a degree in anything... it's easier if you have an education. Though A PHD might be a bit much for the average I.T. shop.
The quality and resolution of 35mm photographs has a lot to do with the film you're using. If you're talking about presentation on screen it really doesn't matter. The difference shows up when you print.
The lower the ASA the more grain and finer resolution you get with film. Not to mention the placemenet of the grain on the film is analog so the detail is much finer than digital to begin with.
The digital cameras are getting better (CMYK is a pretty big step in the right direction) but I think it's going to be a while before they surpass film.
I used to be in the wide format digital printing business and it's quite possible to get a quality print (assuming the image is in focus and a low speed film was used) at 60" wide from 35mm film.
Of course the image is still only as good as what you're digitizing it with: negative scanned at highest resolution CMYK on Agfa Argus II (this typically produces a 6-8 hundred meg tiff file) and printed at highest resolution on HP5000 60" CMYK printer.
There's no way you can get a print that big from anything but the most expensive studio quality digital cameras (currently).
There would be no cars or anything else working if it was a pulse weapon. Not to mention if the pulse was large enough to take down an area that large a goodly portion of the organic material around the target site would most likely be incinerated.
Y2k and terrorism are no where near as catastrophic as simple bad planning and lackadaisical execution.
They moved it because Homer was burying waste from all the surrounding cities in the old abandoned mines beneath the golf corse... oh wait... that was Springfield.
I understand that, and I'm not so much disagreeing with you as discussing the meaning of "true" and that reality is perception... and thus perception is reality.
In mathmatics, physics, etc... there are always rules that are "made up" and accepted to make the answers fit our observations.
Zeno's paradox for instance (my first introduction to infinite scaling) has always facinated me. Mathmatics that "prove" that something we observe in the real world cannot "truly" be. It's close to zero, we'll just call it zero.
http://mathforum.org/isaac/problems/zeno1.html Huh, huh... math is cool.
Nothing is truly anything. If Chaos theory teaches us anything it's that all measurements are approximations. Chaos doesn't preculde randomness. It tells us within what scope/scale that randomness exists. If it's beyond our ability to predict then it is random.
I've been generating random numbers based on the viscosity of my bong water for years. It's not a very portable solution however... esp when I have to fly somnewhere. 8^)
I shot a baby this morning and just laughed and laughed.
Let's talk about respect. Way to insult everyone here when you only had a problem with a message from one person. What else can be expected of an anonymous coward?

You bastards all owe me money!
No, people are just stupid.

Wow!
That's a lot of work for a joke.

Everything IS poisonous.
Toxicity is completely dependant on dose not the substance. Too much water will kill you.

It works for the U.S. tobacco companies, so why not?
At least the tobacco companies products work.
Esp:
The episode where Bender gets fired out the torpedo tube while the ship is moving at full speed making it impossible for the ship to catch up to him.
Frye (as Captain Yesterday) jumping over a railing after a falling gemenoid and Lela says "Frye, you can't fall fast enough"
Maybe I sound very European when I say this
You do. Arrogant and self-righteous.
Hey everybody! Europeans are the only people that are sensible and environmentally conscious.

The fact that MS "productivity" products store user information in the files they produce hit the news very shortly after MS Office '95 came out.
It seems no one much cared back then because MS has obviously left this serious security flaw in their software.
Imagine that?
WAN-mines?
That's funny! Right up there with "need another seven astronauts". Bad taste... but funny.
Ya' gotta' keep da' Labats cold somehow dare.
No.

Why aren't Gamma Reactor Power Plants going up all over the country?
A recent study (who's origin escapes me at the moment) found that 1234 is the most common ATM PIN code. Who'd a thunk it?

I can't believe there is someone soooooo bad I'd rather see Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeve.
