  1. Re:I want a black and white digital camera on Kodak To Stop Making Black and White Paper · · Score: 1

    Colour and dynamic range are different beasts. Or are you saying that there are only 12 or 16 bits (what current cameras capture) between the sun and the deepest shadow?

    Are you saying that you can't get noise digitaly? *ducks*

    And the effects they use tube amps for can be simulated digitaly... Analog is not useless, it's just that it's backing into ever smaller gaps.

    Store a copy of dcraw.c with your raws and you will be okay as long as there are ANSI C compilers available (make sure your raw format is supported :).

    You can however take the colour out of colour photographs.

    "Think of the children" can be bad, logic however does not dictate that you should or shouldn't include humans in your thinking.

    Hello? GPL is exactly about getting others to contribute; code not money but the idea is the same. Just compare the popularity of the GPL with the popularity of the BSD License.

    Charities may or may not be created. They may or may not be effective. You will get more viruses and bacteria in your face when walking down the street if there is no local charity or it is underfunded.

    Why then does the US has so much "Think of the children!" laws then?

    It's not another way to get property, just exchange of property you already have.

    Execpt for animation and sound it's about acontent/placement, behavior. As far as your site goes: the iframe is to small for my minimum font size, but I don't know how much control you have over that.

    I hate ads because they:
    • try to tell me what I want/need, informative sites work far better with me than ads
    • look out of place in the site, often intentional, e.g. in the middle of the text
    • are disatracting, bright colours, animation, sound(!)
    • are too big, all ads together shouldn't take more then 1/4th of my browser window
    • call for action, you are certainly not going to make me to click on a big flashing CLICK HERE
    • advertise products/services unavailable to me, you are wasting your money and my time
    That's just what I can think of at the moment and of course only talks about well behaved ads, floating-over-the-content bullshit and fake dialogs aren't worth analyzing.

    Tracking me across the we is NOT a feature. If you are going to educate the surfers about what cookies can do for them do it honestly. IMHO sites that use cookies should describe what the cookie will be used for, but I don't think ad sites would do that...
