Actually, you are generally correct (disregarding some minor technical misstatements). With any color process, the control was very strictly limited. Even Ansel Adams never resolved this issue and never did very much with color, because you really can't control it, and for certain, most of what you can do if you try is screw it up. For color print film, you can do some *very limited* control, but mostly all you can do it make the color be off. In the specific case of slide film there is virtually no control whatsoever possible. You can underexpose or overexpose it, but aside from that, forget it. Unless you get it scanned and use Photoshop.
Digital, as you note, more or less resolves that limitation for color, you actually can manipulated it to come out the way you envision with great ease. If you only ever use 35mm, digital has exceeded it in quality as well. For the vast majority of people, digital in the usual 2/3 frame or full-frame 35mm format is FAR, FAR better quality than an amateur could get with common processes and actual 35mm film. Crappy cell phone cameras with sensors the size of a few grains of rice usually do better, too. There's still nothing digital available to amateurs for sane money that can match larger-format film. and I expect that the 120 and 4x5 formats will outlast 35mm.
The wrong part is what happens when you take film to a lab - there were and are essentially *no* computer-based evaluation steps in slide processing. They run it through a fixed process (E-6 in this case, as noted elsewhere, or K-12 for Kodachrome) and it comes out however it comes out. There were some weird second exposures and some hand manipulation required for Kodachrome which is why there were only two processing facilities in the entire world for many years, and for the last 10 years, only one place to process it You live in Botswana and want your roll of Kodachrome 64 processed? It went to Dwayne's photo in Kansas.
E-4? What are you talking about? E-4 was an earlier process to develop Ektachrome, replacing E-3 sometime in the late 60's-early 70's. Hence the "E". Modern Ektachrome is E-6. When it was around, if you had no access to an E-4 processor, and weren't willing to do it yourself. you couldn't use Ektachrome.
I think you probab;y meant K-11 or K-12 which were the last two Kodachrome processes. At the time, unless you had to have it overnight, you wanted Kodachrome.
I am sure that your country's highly successful space program, that has done multiple successful manned landings on other celestial bodies, and sent many successful probes to land on Mars, knows much better. Which country was that again?
It's just talk. Everybody in the world knows that Obama pops off like this all the time, and never really means anything or follows through. All part of "leading from behind" policy that has created the universal peace that we all now enjoy.
"alt-right" is a concept intended primarily as a smear tactic by the Hillary campaign. White nationalists are hand-in-hand with the liberals in adopting it as a label. Since it is completely undefined, you can use it as a smear.
There's aren't any "white nationalists", KKK members, etc, in the Trump team, nor will there be. Both of these groups are utterly insignificant idiots, and have been denounced and denigrated time and time again by Trump and anyone else in his circle
In fact, every organism expands to the limits of the resources and competition. Living on the edge of starvation is the default condition.
In fact, only until the agricultural revolution was this ever any other way. This enabled a massive population increase. The second occurrence was the industrial revolution, which yielded another massive population increase from which the world is still undergoing.
The former yielded the first kings, etc, because it permitted a small fraction of the population to live above subsistence. The industrial revolution and modern economics (capitalism) was the first time in the existence of any population that large fractions of a species lived in a state better than that.
That's a very good point. The issue with all of these "shocking discoveries" is that they in fact PASSED the various prescribed tests. There is nothing in the law that says it has to perform the same in actual driving rather than the EPA load cycle. The specific EPA load cycle is what is in the test, there IS NO SPECIFICATION for what it does on the road, period.
Note that everybody with any concept of the way diesels work know that the various performance/emissions "breakthroughs" touted (now, apparently, falsely) by the European car makers were false. This was demonstrated by the back of "clean diesels" turning black in short order on US roads, and most of the cities of Europe turning gray from accumulated diesel soot.
They are more-or-less scuzzy, but they haven't broken the law.
Is this what people do now? One thing fails to go their way and they have a hissy fit and hold their breath until they turn blue like a 3-year-old? I don't expect much from leftists, but honestly, this is what they do.
I have sat through 11 presidential elections, including the elections of notable piles of shit Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and most worthless of all, Barack Obama, and yes, it was disgusting and sickening to me, too, but no one I knew had a meltdown over it.
Diamonds aren't particularly rare, the only thing that makes them valuable is that DeBeers has been holding a very tight near-monopoly, so there's no free market.
Their operation is a reality version of the cartoon view of capitalism promoted by leftists for years. Every bad thing you can think of, they do, from the monopoly, exploitation of workers, callous disregard for humanity, and on and on. Capitalism and western society left this sort of bullcrap behind 100 years ago, but not these bastards. Anything that breaks their hold will be welcome from all sides of the spectrum,
Ask yourself - who benefits from media consolidation? And the answer is, among others, the established political insiders. So you can expect that this will be a very popular merger among the political class.
The computer was working acceptably well. What it was doing was alarming out a condition where it was dropping some tasks (rendezvous radar angle processing) due to a switch misconfiguration.
The other parts of the code were running fine and caused no issues aside from the distraction of the alarms. Note also that he didn't nearly run out of fuel, although he did run relatively close to the mandatory abort limit. There was plenty of fuel to land, if they had ignored the abort limit. They landed with quite a bit of time at hover thrust levels.

Because removing CO2 with technology doesn't serve the purposes of the Global Warming hucksters. Always recall that the goal is massive wealth distribution. Global warming is just the latest excuse, the problem concocted to foce the chosen solution.
A password is intended to ALLOW access. If I come up with random "complex" passwords, I will either have to write them down, or use some sort of passwords safe, because they are intrinsically not "mnemonic".

There has to be a compromise between security and functionality, and people are making that compromise.
Problem is, it could be just about anyone. From what has been disclosed, and the "candidate's" personal history, the entire setup is farcically leaky. Trump is again correct about that one.

I am not going to mod you won, but you are exactly the sort of sociopath that our world is now breeding.
It not going to "soon be the norm"! Good lLord. get out of the basement and speak to real people - none of whom want this crap/
What about perpetual motion? Oh yeah, that's already banned...

The use of the word "racist" has been sadly watered down to the point it has become essentially meaningless.

I can't bring myself to care too much about the purchasers. They know what they are getting and how much it costs, and whether it is worth it to them.

It wouldn't work in Northern California, either. Most of the year it is cloudless and it is not uncommon to have the temperature go into the low 100s.

No, it's just a nonsense thing. The premise is foolish because the concept of "class" is both nonsensical, and in this case, self-defined.
