  1. Re:Digital? on Professional Photographers Using Linux? · · Score: 1
    Exactly. The hardware does NOT make the photographer.

    Take this picture, for example:

    I have had a lot of people LOVE this picture, and were astonished that I took it with a cheap HP 720Xi 3.2mp digital.

    To be fair, my Epson 3170 scans better quality slides than my $3000 Artixscan Slide Scanner.

    Now, step up to an Epson 4870 Pro with Digital Ice, and it WILL rival the Nikon Film Scanners - I've seen it first-hand.

    I was honestly surprised.

    Wait, how have lifespans been decreasing?? In the past 200+ years, lifespans have gone up considerably. Guess this means we are shedding sin, to use your logic.

    They use your own Dendrites though, according to the article.

    I would think it might be a tad premature to be asking "Could this be it?".

    It would be nice though.

    That's crazy.

    I still run SP1, but I have all of my up-to-date security patches done, and I am behind a hardwae firewall. No issues as of yet...

    What are you talking about?

    Most peoples 'ring' fingers are SHORTER than their 'pointer' fingers. If it was the other way around, it (the 'ring' finger) would have been nicknamed the 'pointer'!

  11. I call BS... on Failed Win XP Upgrade Wipes Out UK Government Agency · · Score: 2
    Sounds to me like someone in IT fucked up seriously, and is using Microsoft as a scapegoat.

    Ofcourse, this is /. so this post will sink fast...

    Yeah, I am a troll because I (i) don't idolize this guy and (ii) won't keep enabling his destructive behaviour like the rest of you.

    True, but if he is as bad as he says, ANY doctor would have him admitted without hesitation.

    Unless, of course, he keeps declining the CORRECT course of action...

  14. Well... on An Update on Patrick Volkerding · · Score: 3, Insightful
    It seems like you keep jumping around to all the different ER's in the area...

    What does your actual Doctor think of everything that is going on? You do have a family doctor, right?

    Keep this up and the next /. post is going to be your Obituary. Not being a troll, but you need to stop with the games and ge tthis fixed.

  16. Re:It's too bad nothing supports 720P. on Thin CRTs to Challenge LCDs in 2005 · · Score: 1
    Actually, NO.

    The Plasma and LCD options out there are NOT 1080 native. The best they can do is 720. The accept a 1080 signal, and downsample it to 720.

    These new displays from Samsung-SDI can actually do 1080 without downsampling...

    Insightful my ass. If you somehow wee using I2 to stream movies you are:

    1) An ass, and abusing a serious network.

    Innovation is going to be the US export of the future. Outsource the crappy tech support, outsource the manual labor. Create a workforce of innovation. Own the world through patents and ideas.
