I have a nice 35mm SLR that can capture most anything, including the Milky Way. Considering the capabilities of my camera, I could probably get your shot and THEN SOME.
Minolta X-700 w/ ISO200 high-grain film FOR THE WIN.
"So... how exactly do you learn about using a trolley to do a trucking shot, while doing still photography?"
Oh, I dunno, you learn about film speed, shutter speed, and how it applies to a moving subject in an actual photography class, since it all applies to movies in the basics and in the long run? Still photography shoots can be non-stationary (follow a distance runner in-focus while moving at their speed, and take a high-speed shot to capture their movement in absolute clarity.)
"How exactly do you learn about what makes a good scene break / transition, while doing still photography?"
Oh, I dunno, maybe by observing the multiple transitional shots done for still photography exposes in history, and watching traditional film-splicing techniques and film-overlapping/frame blending techniques? Understanding how time-lapse photography is turned into movies? How to capture the sun's sun's analemma?
Duck-cutter, actually. We rarely served any fish meals at the place. When we did, it was always milkfish, which you simply do not cut apart, you slice it open along the sides and deep-fry it.
Umm, they already do have to make separate models. First off, most plugs in the EU aren't shaped like ours, on either end, and secondly, most EU plugs run 240v, not 120. For laptops, that means a brand new adapter or on-board transformer change to the mainboard.
The USA has RoHS implemented. It's called the RoHS Directive. Learn about it sometime.
You should not use a steel on your knife before or after every use. Every three uses is fine, you don't cause unnecessary blade wear, and you run less of a risk of putting a huge groove near the back of the blade that is caused by such excessive use of the steel.
If you're serious, you should use a ceramic flatstone before any usage of the knife, to not only de-bur but reroll and create a much finer-grained edge than a typical diamond-dusted steel will.
Man, those 3 years of working in an Oriental joint paid off today on Slashdot!
"(The reason old windows are thicker at the bottom is that they were built that way, for structural reasons.)"
Well, I see you're just as susceptible.
They didn't have glass rolling machines back then, it was mostly hand-blown and rolled on stone. It was thicker at one end because they simply didn't have the equipment to just roll out perfectly smooth and even panes of glass like we can.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. Every place I've worked at or sourced parts from that is in the USA has RoHS implemented, from SMD diode manufacturers to laptop repair.
Only because of the small amount of gunpowder behind the projectile. Let me get a.22 handgun chambered for.22-LR rounds and I'll bet you're singing a different story when the first slug tears through you from front to back.
"So if PS3 already supports Linux, then what is the point of hacking it?"
Turn your geek card in, NOW. Better access to the hardware to allow for full exploitation of the hardware capabilities so you essentially have a pretty good mid-range PC (given the graphics chipset) for like $250.
Linux is pretty good at making use of available RAM - even moreso when you're NOT RESTRICTED.
It is only slow because you're doing it wrong and the hypervisor has access restricted.
256MB of XDR has enough bandwidth to match 2GB DDR.
Once the hack is properly applied/vetted and people actually get direct memory access, you can almost guarantee that PS3 specific Linux flavors will run much faster than you ever thought possible.
Otherwise it would not come with folding@home preinstalled, you wouldn't get the option of installing another OS on it, and you most certainly wouldn't get the social networking garbage that is sony@home, nor would you get web browsing access.
The PS3 is most certainly not just a gaming console.
Hahaha. Let's see. We've got at least 5 different PS3 models, with varying hardware capabilities. Somewhere, in the name of making money, they most certainly did cut corners.
Now the question is - which model was hacked? I can almost guarantee the new Slim wasn't used, so which fat model? With or without PS2 BC? Full hardware PS2 or hardware/software?
We already knew we could glitch the memory bus with properly applied current to get some signals past the hypervisor, it was really dependent upon the model.
"In order for the file to be modified it has to come from the authenticated source"
I could spoof that pretty easily by buying one MP3 and watching my traffic logs for IP and (if set up) MAC address.
"In order for someone to exploit this not only do they have to spoof their way into making the MP3 file - but they have to magically make it so that they can access root by the limitted permissions within the one file they can edit."
As if a modified file format hasn't been exploited in one form or another through some security hole found in it.
"How many people have gotten infected by an RSS Feed?"
BitDefender offers the ability to get updates directly through an RSS feed, I can see that easily being exploited. Hijack an RSS feed, put in a malicious link to hijack drive-by site, you're fucked. Any other questions?
"How many people have gotten back door rootkits by installing pirated versions of Photoshop?"
That's what you get for downloading random shit without checking the source like any smart person would do, yea? Keeps us in business, though!
What's sad is I have access to about 50/50 (wireless bridging of my personal internet connection with my fiance's university account via the wireless signal that reaches our apartment) and I saturate it mostly with sending live research data/footage to those partners as well so they can watch how their money gets spent and used.
Imagine if I had a 100/100 connection. I'd be putting your bills thru the skyscraper antenna!

Are you that ignorant?
"Kinda hard to teach film without, you know, watching films."
BULLSHIT. You can learn practically everything about film from a photography class in high school.
Now, learning about PERFORMING ARTS usually requires watching films.
Duck-cutter, actually. We rarely served any fish meals at the place. When we did, it was always milkfish, which you simply do not cut apart, you slice it open along the sides and deep-fry it.
Because putting the thin side down would be monumentally stupid, as anyone with engineering experience would know.
They were not designed thicker for structural purposes, they were just installed that way down for that reason.
Go take some lessons from Josh Gelfand.

Crystalline lattice structure would imply a proper, regular plane of cleavage exists or can be made.
You're not going to find that in any glass object.
"there's nothing like RoHS in North America"
I wouldn't be so sure of that. Every place I've worked at or sourced parts from that is in the USA has RoHS implemented, from SMD diode manufacturers to laptop repair.
"The human digestive system is a polymer (poly-phospholipid) lined tube that is impervious to water absorption. "
Only the stomach. Most water absorption happens from duodenum to descending colon.
Even taking a bath in purified deionized water is bad for you over time.
"100% pure water will do no harm to you, whatsoever. Or your gut bacteria"
Know how osmotic pressure works?
Pure water, much like pure oxygen, is bad for you over extended periods of time.
"What about gun locks, or better yet, a SAFE?"
Pretty useless. I knew how to pick locks at age 8. Safe Cracking with a proper stethoscope is rather trivial, if it's mechanical.
"A .22 is a very very useless hand to hand weapon"
Hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha.
Only because of the small amount of gunpowder behind the projectile. Let me get a .22 handgun chambered for .22-LR rounds and I'll bet you're singing a different story when the first slug tears through you from front to back.
"And don't forget that it's only a .22. One would need to achieve a series of headshots to effectively stop a violent criminal actor."
Not true. One shot through the eye is all it takes. Or one shot through the throat, or one shot directly underneath the sternum.
I can do worse damage with a .177 Varminter round. That'll blow through your skull without thinking.

Linux is pretty good at making use of available RAM - even moreso when you're NOT RESTRICTED.
The limited RAM does nothign to limit usability - this is all the hypervisor.
A decade ago a system with XDR and Cell, even with only 256MB of RAM, would've been considered insane excess.
Learn how to program, you likely don't need more than 128 megs of RAM anyways. Learning how to write tight code is the trick.
It is only slow because you're doing it wrong and the hypervisor has access restricted.
256MB of XDR has enough bandwidth to match 2GB DDR.

Th PS3 is far more than a GAMING console.
Otherwise it would not come with folding@home preinstalled, you wouldn't get the option of installing another OS on it, and you most certainly wouldn't get the social networking garbage that is sony@home, nor would you get web browsing access.
The PS3 is most certainly not just a gaming console.

If you saw the world through our eyes you'd probably commit suicide. It takes a special nerdy nutcase to see what we see and not off ourselves.
And I've been unfortunate enough to see some of it from the inside. Not pretty at all.
You're right, I have a boyfriend. :)
Umm, are you serious?
They can update the file with new information at their whim if you opt-in.
That's a HUGE potential exploit. Outside access to modify files? How long until someone figures out a way to use this to gain write access to root?
