Last time I looked, which waasn't that long ago, there were two DSLR tilt-shift lenses on the market, they cost about $3,000, and the coverage they had was unimpressive.
Lenses for 8" x 10" (and 4" x 5") cameras have both the the aperture iris and shutter (which uses an adjustable mechanical clockwork) built in. Plus, they need a lot of extra film plane coverage, to allow for swings and tilts.
For architectural photography, and many landscapes, nothing, but nothing, beats a view camera. If you take a picture of a building with a standard DSLR, the picture will look like a pyramid, because the film plane was at an angle to the building. With a view cameras, with swings and tilts, you can have the lens and film plane parallel to the walls of the building, giving you a much more natural look.
Actually, the traditional *nix shutdown sends SIGTERM to all running processes, waits a bit, then sends SIGKILL to the stragglers. Windows *asks* the user if it should kill the slow to shut down processes.
Before you start with Python, how about some time describing what the hardware actually does: register arithmetic & logical operations, branching & subroutines, memory addressing modes, etc. Before you start showing them the abstract machines, show them the real hardware and what their abstractions are being converted to.
Also, for fun, how about something like Context Free Art, which will show block structure, the importance of syntax, and the joy of getting (non-threatening) output.
I had a version of Windows 2000 where I had changed the "Windows is starting up" bootup message to "Windows is fucking up". Every once in a while another dev would see the box reboot and their head would asplode.
Blessings on you, the Creator for your Intelligent Design;)
Have you considered a horizontal split-screen, with the current perpendicular angle above the ecliptic, and another view parallel (or maybe offset 15 degrees or so) to the ecliptic?
Again, awesome work, thanks for making it.
A real CLI? One with regular expressions, proper tokenizing, proper program flow constructs, pipelines (backtics results too) and redirection, etc., etc.?

Symantec is retarded.
And as for Snoop Dog,
don't get me started.

Shutting down Windows, evacuating ones bowels.
Potayto potahto.
I didn't know Jeff Bezos had a spaceflight company. Can we expect a flood of new patent applications where the idea ends with "in space"?
Yeah. I'll take Daryl McBride's head on a spike. I'm willing to go as high as $100.
Come on, people, this is comedy gold!
They were making room for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Frank Drake, Carl Sagan, David Attenborough, Alexander Graham Bell...
I don't see Alonzo Church or Stephen Kleene. Or Noam Chomsky, for that matter.
Fucking lightsabers: how do they work?

Backups? We don't have to show you any backups! We don't need no stinkin' backups!
AAAAHHHH! Now that song's stuck in my head! Get it out!! GET IT OUT!!!
P.S.: There's still time to change the road you're on.
P.P.S: "but int the long run" - possible loss of precision
We need to create new, more virulent biological weapons to improve medicine.
It's already in my will: when I die I want to be cremated and have my ashes blown in the faces of people who annoyed me.

Unless perhaps you're interlacing. I guess it depends on what kind of framerates you can get.
Actually, Fanny's my aunt.

At 3:01, the data is from 2010, so it has to be preliminary data from WISE.
In other news, most optical astronomy is done at night.
I don't worry about trojans. I use Linux.
