Getting $1500 of income taken off your taxes is not remotely the same as the government giving you a $1500 refund, or you getting the product for free.
Olympus' "Four-thirds" system is supposed to be great for n00bs at giving better color toward the fringes of the image, though it gives more noise at higher ISO levels. I use the Evolt E-510 and it's pretty decent. There's a "micro-Four-thirds" system that's supposed to be better but I have zero experience with it.

I shouldn't have to follow the conversation if the quotes hadn't been edited by the AC(see what I did there? that's what happened to me only the original quote was significantly further up the page and I had no reason to think the AC I was replying to had actually made the corrections)
Ahhh, I see what happened then. I thought he was giving a direct quote, pointing out the "errors" and then posting a snarky/incorrect comment. I stand corrected.
Wrong. Since the "u" is pronounced like "you" you use "A"...ala "a user" "a unified field theory". You use "An" in the case of the short sound e.g. "an umbrella" or "an understanding"
Sold it back in 1999 and bought a few SGI workstations with the money when it became clear I couldn't afford to buy any more Amiga gear(people apparently think it's worth more than gold).. Someone gave me a fully working A500 a year ago but I haven't gotten a chance to tinker with it..no monitor, etc..
No, they've been like this for a long, long time. About 18 years ago I got into 3D animation with the Amiga/VideoToaster(because Lightwave was still tied into the VT hardware back then) and was interested in talking with others in the field. Lo and behold one of the first people I meet is some little twerp telling me how Apple was going to rule the 3D world like it did desktop publishing...Lightwave was lame and never going to go anywhere and Strata3D was the best software there was. Less than a year later Babylon 5 came out and about a year after that I never heard anything about Strata except as some form of lame utility or something...but Lightwave is still going strong AFAIK. That's not entirely directly related to Apple but he was an Apple user and had the same fucking nasty attitude that we see today...
Possibly, but the idea didn't originate with Mead; it's been around long enough that they were considering it in the days of Einstein, even if they rejected it at the time. But there's more than just Mead, myself, and some old fogies taking this line of thinking seriously...
Carver Mead ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carver_Mead ) has been saying something similar for years....And I came up with a similar view a few years after he published his book on the subject, without having read his book or even previously hearing or thinking of anything about particles not existing; it just came to me...
Yes, you are WAY wrong, so wrong you either avoided or didn't even know to look for some things.
First of all, find me a free compiler that would work with Adobe's SDK from around Y2K. Go ahead, I'll wait. Remember, I said our budget didn't really have room for a lot of things and a compiler that would work with the SDK cost quite a bit back then. To add to your difficulty, you might note that since we were publishing, we were also using Apple primarily thereby it wasn't going to be cheap by any stretch of the imagination. So keep telling yourself how I didn't think of any of this and how I'm blinded by the fact that I was able to do something for free that would have cost the paper a few thousand dollars before we even got started if that makes you feel better about your purchases but rest assured that you're not as bright as you want to make everyone thing you are, Mr. Adobe shill.
You've just met one then. I've used GIMP since the 90's and I've worked professionally in print publishing since 2000. I used GIMP to accomplish effects that my PS peeps were utterly unable to accomplish because GIMP's open source nature allowed me to code my own plugins, which was nice since we had a limited budget for such things. One of our first uses was a photomosaic plugin(I think the code I modded for the SGI is still out there somewhere) for a front page of the paper.
Sure, it didn't do CYMK, etc. but we didn't even need the RGB->CMYK conversion done until 3 minutes before sending it off to the printer and Acrobat handled that for us automagically. I have PS laying around in case one of my clients gives me a file that requires it but I have used GIMP professionally a thousand times more than I have PS.
Did you know there was a ruling this year that actually said that NOT looking made one liable for triple damages? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I'm still searching for the article that mentioned this but IIRC this happened in May so it's not widespread as of yet...
I hear people complain about 3.0 so much that I think that there needs to be a fork for 2.0, if for no other reason than to keep it mostly 3.0 compatible without killing all that is nice about 2.0.
How are you handling your triple monitor setup? Is it 3 monitors on a single card or do you have multiple cards? I have a friend who was killing himself to get his 2 cards to display on 4 monitors like he had been on Fedora 14 but apparently some things changed, for him at least, and now Fedora 15/Gnome3 will only let him use 1 card.
They're typically called "servo units"(or at least that's how they were referred to when I was around) and what they do is vibrate around 3-10 Hz for a period of time. The frequency is enough to loosen/weaken structures pretty readily, especially with the power they put into them. After a while, the demolition team can knock the place down with far fewer explosives. They also use them for "bass support" at raves which is kinda dangerous since these things can affect your health on a drastic level....but boy oh boy can you feel the bass..lol.
I agree fully. As a matter of fact it was the earthquake machine episode that turned me completely off to them since I knew for a fact that the damn machine not only existed but was in "popular" use.
I wonder what the Mythbusters will say in regards to their "Marching In-step over a Bridge" episode. I was one of several to speak up and AFAIK they never addressed resonance. I said the same thing about their Tesla Earthquake Machine episode except I pointed out that these earthquake machines are used in demolition to this very day; I got the same lack of response.
I was one of the early backers of Diaspora and it is, as far as I can tell, dead in the water. They barely have rudimentary social networking operational, much less something that handles real tasks. The choice to implement on Ruby/Rails was, IMNSHO, retarded since the limitations, like the inability to run more than a single instance of Ruby simultaneously, simply defeat anything that they develop. I think their project would have moved forward a LOT faster if they'd have chosen PHP.

Most of the police departments are moving to APCO P25 which just so happens to be extremely vulnerable to a simple hack...

Macro-evolution has already been observed in the lab and in the wild so I'm afraid you're incorrect there.

I dial all my phones with my thumb since 1) I have the manual dexterity to do so and 2) they stopped making rotary dial phones years ago.

We RTO'ed my son's trombone and 100% of the payment went to the balance. Maybe you're thinking about electronics.

It's not through G+, it's through Firefox, Chrome, and I think Safari...
