  1. Re:All should not be lost... on Microsoft Won't Offer Patch Before Worm Strikes? · · Score: 1

    Removal tools.... Users just love making me use those. Now if only it were a prevention tool....

  2. Not Fair! on Music Exec Fires Back At Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    If apple bought the rights to redistribute the music and wants it priced the same for all titles, I say, more power to them. If eddie wants to pay a differnt price, buy the music some place else.

  3. Re:I wrote about this yesterday on Your Digital Photos Are Too Professional · · Score: 1
    If a person has a CD that has 8 megapixel pictures on it, chances are good that they took them themselves.
    This is of course because nobody would scan a professional proof at a high resolution and put it on a cd.
  4. Re:Hardly X-Rated. Maybe R-Rated... on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1
    Why do we look at run-of-the-mill murder as something that we can't afford to give up our rights to prevent, but terrorism as something that is so fearful that almost anything is fair game.

    "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, it's probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. It fool me. We can't get fooled again."

    Seriously though, this is just another argument about what people are willing to give up for (real or imaginative) security.
  5. Re:The Right Combination? on PC Photo Printers Challenge Pros · · Score: 1

    Now I was wondering if the "right combonation" is just a one time set up, or would you have to change your setup depending on what kind of photography you happen to be doing.

    Having worked in a printing shop using printers from sub $500 US through upwards of $25k U.S., I have found that different jobs do require different combinations. This especially holds true for prints heavy in light colours (whites like snowy days etc) or dark colours (a stary night or cityscape maybe).
    Rephrasing: Something very light will have a bit different "print quality" than something very dark without changing the printing setup.
    Also, some papers react differently to different colours, then you have to find the inks to match those... it can be quite tedious work.

    These home printers are doing great things for people who want to take some pictures with their new digital camera to show to family and friends. They are good also, for the thrify photographer needing quick and easy prints...

    Don't get me wrong, home printers are great tools, and there are many things and jobs they are perfect for, and they are definately improving constantly. But, they still won't compare with a good professional print.

    (P.S. In this statement, I'm not including places like walgreens as professional printers)
