Your shutter speed will be maxed so the sensor's exposure to the bright focused sun will be minimal anyway, don't worry about it. Shoot it.
Eye:
Liveview. If not available, shoot 100, 1000, 10000, it's digital anyway. Shoot until you find the one you like. I presume you're using some kick ass 500mm, or even better, get a telescope and an adapter.
Ok now it's at 10 tril. 5 years from now, 25 tril. 50 years from now, 200 tril. Perhaps the curve is slowing down and we says in the newspaper, wow it's slowing down.
100 years from now 450 tril.
I understand there must be a negative effect to the country to be with a deficit. There's constant struggle to balance the money, etc. But what I am getting at is, it doesn't really end.
1000 years from now 2 quad.
And the world spins the same way, we have the same old Oh Henry. When I look at the scale of this thing, from a layman POV (the only POV I have in the finance side of things), I don't see the effect of a deficit.
I am sure there is an effect, but my limited life span does not let me appreciate it.
I remember once my buddy slipped on the salt on the Don Valley Parkway during Winter. We felt the back swinging and there were cars coming at us at 100km/h+, somehow he manages to save it in a few moves with no training whatsoever.
For the next 30 seconds, nobody spoke in the car. Then he said, shiet, that was EXACTLY like sega rally.
The reason why I bought my NDS was right before a 6x plane ride to and fro US, Canada, and Hong Kong. And the DS was the only system that lasts 10+ hours on the dim level.
I had such a great time turning on wifi during take off and landing with other geeks who also happen to have bomberman on the plane (did I say bomb?).
I won't be getting the DSi simply because it's not really that different from the NDS. But I want to thank nintendo anyway, for bringing us the DS Lite. What a great system. It's been already 2 years and I haven't touch it for at least a year. But it's one of those gadget that I keep next to the front door.
I said this once on slashdot but I will say it again.
If you judge me simply by my online presence, then here's a big "FUCK YOU" --Google this! There I said it, what's more? I am a Hispanic rapist that likes to touch little female hamsters. I am 4'7" and I constantly bad mouth everyone. Even myself!
This sure will bite me in the ass someday, and you know what? I don't give a hair.
I heard bioshock was quite good and a fantastic game but before I get it from steam, I usually go over to steampowered.com and check out the forums. After a nice read I passed just because of the installation problems.
It's one thing to have a dodgy creative driver, but it's quite another if everyone's having it from the SecuROM. Sowwie, I pass.
talking to myself here and replying some of the children, just making a point that, yes, we are special. If solar system like our own wasn't special, SETI would already have pick something up. It's not rocket science that we are special.
But how special, why not take the limit to zero? Even if in the entire course of human history we failed to find just 1 extra solar system resembling out own, it still doesn't mean there is or isn't life out there because our light sphere (forgot the name of it) is so damn small, our observable "universe" is only a part of the Universe.
How big is the universe? So far it's as big as we can observe, and the further we look, the further back in time did the images of the event happened.
I guess my post was a trick question, if anyone comes up with a number, any number, I would be interested to know how he/she arrived at it.
well said. I will not willingly give up my smokes or my pc for any length of time. I've given them up unwillingly when on a plane, on a vacation, on a job, or on a date. But if I am home, I cannot willingly give them up.
Which makes it an addiction, or at least closer to it. The same for my internet connection for that matter.
However I will not willingly give up my food, or money either. Even though one might say, hey, of course not because without food or money, you would die. And I replied, yeah I would die, sooner. I am dying everyday. Which really makes my food and money an addiction. I sometimes don't enjoy eating, but I have to not because I am hungry but because I think if I don't eat well, I'd get sick, won't make it to work, and can't pay my bills.
I know some people who are addicted to work for whatever work brings to them. What makes me wonder is, what if someone come take away the work from them but still pay them the money. Would they crawl back to work, or would some of them find another "addiction" (called cigar on a yacht) in the Bahamas.
:D I hope you're just kidding to me, cause I don't need anymore excuse to do anything. Way passed that stage in my life.
I was just trying to explore this topic analytically. If I take away your food, clothing, money, and cattles, the "problem" doesn't go away, and all hell will break lose. Same with me.
But if you take away my smokes and pc, I will just have more sex, get it? I was trying to make a point that there're mundane things that we categorized as "not addiction" simply because everyone does it. But to me they are the actual addiction.
I smoke because I don't have a yacht(R), very sad if you dig deep, but that's how I grew up.
I agree to a degree what you've said. But the limiting factor of those, at least for me might be money. Cause for me money = time. Working for money takes at least 9 - 10 hours away from my time each day and I ended up tired.
So I get home all tired and can't really screw (no gf in the basement), play pc games, and eat. Now if I have unlimited funds that gives back the 10 hours to play games for example, I probably spend 4 of those hours playing some MMO. But even then I still won't call that an "addiction". Because I really enjoy playing it. I've experienced this during my younger years when I had lots of time lying around, with Dune 2, Doom 2, or Legend of the Red Dragon.
However, based on the description of "addiction" you gave, and I apologize for selective quoting:
A better rule of thumb for determining whether somebody is addicted to something is to ask them if they still enjoy it....
"Addiction" gets applied far to frequently to abuse or overuse of any kind...
My job, life, or lust for a raise at work and having rice for dinner everyday (for an Asian:D) seems more like an "addiction" then my counterstrike gaming. There're many things I don't enjoy but have to do it, like going to the laundromat. While I do enjoy every time I get a headshot in CS.
I don't know about other addicts but I smoke for 14 years already. So I am an addict you could say. But I DO enjoy it. Every time I light one up I really enjoy it, much as I enjoy other things in life such as cheesecake, football, and the iraq such as and, I consciously enjoy them.
This "addiction" subject is really fascinating. Aren't we all addicted to food? If you take food away from me, wouldn't I go nuts too? What about money, women, and cattles? What about life?
If you wanted to remove an ex from an old snapshot, you had to use a Bic pen or pinking shears. But in the digital age, people treat photos like mash-ups in music, combining various elements to form a more pleasing whole.
Right, I'd spend 1/2 hour concentrating at removing my ex from that perfect trip we did in yosemite so that I can end up with a new pic of me, alone. Wait, no let me add in a penguin!
He obviously never weep looking at past photos. It's not the photos stupid! It's the memories they bring.
I have an off topic question that I failed to google.
Base on a round earth of course, I always wonder what will happen if we drill a big hole from north pole all the way to south pole, then drop a marble in it. Where will it stop?
Your 1 2 3 is EXACTLY why I bought HL2, and CoD4 off Steam. Gas money is ALSO money. By buying it off steam I actually saved gas, bus, whatnot. And it's much easier and safer to get it off steam than another visit to gamecopyworld.
In additional, I still don't know if it's true, but I'd rather buy it off Steam and pay directly to the devs than to pay for the useless box. I have too many boxes (part of my childhood) at home that I am reluctant to throw out. Especially the Manual of Homeworld:D But yeah I grew out of them.
I rarely pirate games if ever anymore as having a job and a life really cuts into my gaming (argh).

Does that Warrior have 'Norris' as a last name?
Cliff (or Chris :D),
I read your letter and I am impressed. you ever consider just a simple paypal if you're having trouble with the providers?
Fraps was my pirate story and as soon as I got a job, I headed back to fraps and paid for it. Simple, fast, do exactly as advertised.
I've never played your game (let's take a look at mininova? hehehe), but will get some demos off your site soon and check them out.
And I like how personal your site is. Impressive. You do this all by yourself or what?
I have an off topic question that I failed to google.

Hi Aquaman! ^_^
for making a drink that "tastes" like a Pepsi!
what in ze hell is that?
awwww, don't feel bad, bro. Here in Hong Kong, we pirate everything! Even XBOX games!
I do buy my PC games, though, through steam and skipping the publishers.
