now all you have to do is fine a lens that can cover a larger area and mount it to the camera. In my case I happen to have an excellent lens with a shot shutter, sounds perfect for the task. Since I won't be needing my cut film or roll film holders after this:

All I want is having +n funny mods -n flamebait mods where n is the same number not count against my karma. I'm fine with funny not counting for karma, I just would rather it not set me up for more negative than should be possible.
If I post with a karma bonus modifier enabled than the most negative karma I should be able to get is three (from 2 to -1). If someone mods that up to +5 funny and then I go to -1 I've lost 6 karma points.
Please fix that, it's all I really ask. I usually can read through most speling grammar and errors, so not so big a deal. Dupes don't even bother me as much as the funny moderation.
A maglev excells in the taller buildings where cables become a liability. Cable elevators are just like a striped set without parity, lose one bit and you've lost it all. The friction brakes on the car are the parity and those would be there in the maglev version as well. -nB
Is PS2 an OK interface? I've been thinking about this and there really is no reason you can't have say 128 keys each capable of being programmed with 255 keycodes in sequence That's only 32K of memory which is not a big deal either split across several PICs or one 8052 with an external ram for lookup. Hard part would be the physical keyboard. -nB
More than once I've walked out of those kinds of meetings. My boss (and his boss) know me and know my style. I fix things for a living, if I hold a meeting it is most likely with my customers (the techs doing the testing) so they can let me know what they need/what's borked/etc. if it's with management it's to inform them that I need $80K this month for repairs or tests X, Y, and Z are not getting done while Foo and Bar will take longer, "your call". There is no excuse for those meetings to take any longer than 30 min on a bad day. I've had meetings as short as 5 min with the entire staff and once those with no issues have said "I'm up" they leave, everyone's happy.
The only meeting I'll spend more than 1 hour in is either a business update meeting, or a finance pow-wow where I'm usually thinking BOFHish ways to get money and wishing you could actually get away with that stuff:-) -nB
Especially for something like harassment situations e-mail is required. While the initial contact from the harassee and manager (and subsequently harassor and manager) may be face to face in a private room, a follow-up e-mail must be sent detailing what was discussed and what the next step and/or anticipated outcome is to be. Without that "paper trail" (manager should save a copy, and cc HR) the company is wide open to litigation. E-mail is often an excellent "binder". After any face to face meeting where I feel that I want something written I summarise the meeting and e-mail the other side and ask for a confirmation reply. If I don't get a reply then I treat it as a reply in the negative and act appropriately. So far I've had a successful career. -nB
"I just was messing with my RAID1 setup on Linux (ext3)... All it took was some fdisk-ing and some mdadm-ing.
If you make sure to install grub onto both drives (and test it) it'll boot just fine off the second one should there be a failure. I doubt this works with a hardware RAID1."
Actually it works better with a hardware RAID1. The controller tells you which drive has failed and you swap it out for a same or larger drive and you're done. -nB
"Messing with software RAID (which most posters have recommended) is simply not worth it. Too many bugs, too many issues. It works for some, but becomes a nightmare quickly for others."
No issue when doing RAID1 on non-boot partitions. Anything else and I agree weith that statement 100%. My general procedure: Linux boot disk ~20 gigs. Buy drives in pairs and software RAID them. Whenever the boot disk changes (rarely) I make a ghost image of it. If any one data drive fails, simply replace the drive with the closest capacity (or cheapest $$) drive available. If the boot disk dies, grab another small disk and restore the ghost image. For stuff that does not need to be RAIDed I just slam additional drives on. -nB

FC-77 is too expensive and while about as inert as it gets, somewhat annoying to deal with. HFE-7100 is more environmentally friendly, but attacks several plasticizers, so make sure your hoses are safe to use with it.

you know, that's actually a very good idea. Once the debt is to the IRS for taxes due he can't charge off the debt. lets say that the IRS taxes him at the rate of 42%, and discounts his tax to.1 cent on each dollar due, he still owes: $4,620,000.00 That is a real bite in the ass that can't be ignored. -nB
Actually most of those were fairly good examples along the lines of what I was thinking. You are right, of course, that I won't change my mind, but that doesn't detract from the discussion.
My concern with the concept of taxing wealth is as stated, it increases the total tax burden on everyone. Without the incentive to save (which taxing savings removes) people will not bank their money. Most will simply spend down to whatever level is required to not pay taxes (yes there will be some who do not, but they will be the exception). As a result of this chronic spend-down most people would not have the financial fortitude to take a large hit to their finances (medical, non-insured home damage, etc.) When these events inevitably happen the government will be expected to "bail out" the people impacted. This money has to come from somewhere (taxes). It becomes a vicious circle. -nB
