If you're going to have to hand develop an 8x10 photographic plate, then scan it on a unique, hand built drum scanner and post-process it on a supercomputer, the first question should be is this scene worth 4gigapixels?, and the second question should be is the lighting right?
Why? 8x10 cameras have existed for 100 years. Using modern film and a drum scanner will create a digital image with more than 1Gb of pixel data.
Shhh... that's how they do it (well, that, slow film, and good lenses).
I was just checking the site out yesterday. They have some pretty amazing pictures.
Even my 4x5 camera yields over 100 megapixels when scanning film with a $300 Epson flatbed.
I get about 20MP from scanning prints of pictures taken on my 35mm at 100iso. Pretty good for a camera made in 1980. I just can't get the colour quite right. That's why I'm thinking of getting a negative/slide scanner, which should yeild 15MP, but better colour (16 bit colour for the one I'm looking at).
You can re-compile everything you want to after you're done installing from binaries. That way you can use the system while it compiles.
Flexibility (for the vendor)

Embedded Gentoo?

· Score: 2, Informative
It's very flexible for the vendor, and easy to up-date. I can't imagine wanting to include gcc, portage, etc on an embedded device, but it would give the vendor a good development environment, and an easy way to comply with GPL requirements (by having an rsync portage mirror available). It'd also give embedded device customizers a standardized development environment. A hardware vendor could sell hand-helds to customizers who add barcode scanners/rfid readers/whatever, and their own software, then sell them to businesses (whatever their niche is).
3) It's probably already available at your hosting provider, whereas Postgresql probably isn't (vicious cycle with #1)

They're also extracted from the patient himself, which means no chance of tissue rejection or secondary infection. It does mean it'd be really hard to mass produce though.
I haven't got a clue. I don't actually know anything about XORP, I just get annoyed when someone posts a story on slashdot that's about some project or paper and doesn't include a link to the project or paper itself.

Worst yes, Cliche no. A stupid saying does not become a cliche just because you've written it 4 times today. To be a cliche, it has to have been around for a while. Please, do not make this one a cliche. Just stop using it.
So put the computer outside the room, with a hole in the wall (stuffed with foam rubber) to pass the cables through. If you need a CD/DVD drive there too (ie for a web radio station) get a USB one.
Some of my friends in Vancouver, BC were downloading Stargate from the US because the networks in Canada were a full year behind. What's amazing about that is Stargate is filmed in Vancouver!
Bittorrent is good for large (hundreds of MB->tens of GB) files accessed by hundreds or thousands of users. Most slashdotted sites are serving web pages (tens of KB) to hundreds of thousands of people. Also, the sites that fall quickest seem to be the ones that serve dynamic pages, which can't be torrented.
Blogtorrent probably won't be much use for most people as Bittorrent is not so good when there's only a handful of downloaders. Most people's blogs just aren't that interesting. It would be handy for things like the Jedi kid, or some amateur journalist who was at the right place at the right time, with a camera.
It might be a more expensive drive at first, but VHS tapes are far cheaper & larger than DAT and Hi8. If they can be made with the same data density (b/cm2) and many manufacturers are churning out the drives, they'll get cheap fast, as well as being high-capacity.

Wait... you know of a "particularly strong" workstation that can interactively manipulate a 190Gb image? (4G * 48b)
Storing one copy is one thing... storing multiple working copies and interactively working on them is another thing entirely.

Once it's in the computer there's little difference other than (noise vs grain), exif data, and file size.
Have you tried (or even looked at) cinepaint (a 16bit/channel gimp fork to be merged with gimp 2.2) and dcraw (which handles multiple raw formats)?
Please define "passable workflow". How is it missing from Linux?
If you think there's no scripting or batchmode in Linux image manipulation, I suggest you do a little research on the GIMP, ImageMagick, and SANE.

How about reading at xorp.org, instead of just news stories that talk about xorp?

I'm not an aspiring actor, but that would be cool. I'd be way better than a book by some mega star, or a total unknown.
He's still an actor. From his filmography, he looks to have been steadily employed.

I'm not talking about encoding digital signals as analog video then recording it. I'm talking about densely recording digital data on VHS tapes.
