I think your wrong about wide angle. I have the occasional call to do fish eye work and D doesn't cut it. as for the better film, the majority of professional photographer are probably using medium or large format film - we aren't in a position where we'd fell comfortable replacing ours. If you want a picture blown up big, and I mean big, large format iss the only option. If you need a 6mx2m display people will be viewing from 1m away, your out of options.
I completely agree. I have aas we speak a Nikon F90X and an F80 and they are beautifu to operate. I think the lenses on the Nikon are also far superior (and most would agree - if not all). I think think Canon's claim to fame is the ease of use. Nikon are a bitch to use compared to the all-automated Canon. Idiots can use Canons.
As an aside, I also have a Nikon Coolpix 5400 beside me, and ergonomically its a peice of crap. You get what you pay for.
Whilst most math inclined people would say that any vote would cancel other uninformed votes, any political scientist would argue that it is impossible to act in a vacume and that no vote could be uniformed. I would point you to the works of Baudrillard and Derida.
The Record is one of three independant newspapers in Australia. I would suggest you buy it and read it. It pays to be educated.
I would also suggest you compare the amount of news content vs advertising to any other local newspaper in Western Australia. I think you would find that not only is the calibre of reporting higher than most locals, but it is also far less profit driven.
You say that The Record is a couple of pages - I would say that is unsubstantiated BS. Your position is indefensable and probably more motivated by your personal beliefs than anything else. It is certainly not fact. The Record has won a large number of ACPA awards and has an international distribution.
Sure, that's great. However, Adobe provides flexibility. That is necessary when you print a number of publication at different printers or when you need/want to print at a certain size and there are a limited number of providers. Try finding options when you print broadsheet (sorry about the Australian size).
Sure, but I think you are wrong on both accounts. There is not a single CMYK color space for starters and just because someone used a CMYK process to create the image, doesn't mean it will appear the same in my CMYK space. Realistically, the colour space of RGB is much larger and therefore it's arguably better to create the document as an RGB then do the conversion.
Secondly, of course I noticed it's part of an office suite. However CMYK process' are the realm of print professionals, not the DTP or average office user. I am a strong advocate of using the correct tool for the job. I think applications should be like the iPod, good at what they do and not over the top. This is the original philosophy behind Unix and I stand by it.
That reminds me also that whilst new versions of the software come out regularly, the machines we press on are 10 years old. We are using a system we know works with an obsolete press. Why reinvent the wheel?
Actually, my prediction is this will fail for other reasons. Photoshop is the tool of choice for me. I am the production manager for a newspaper and even if this were 10 times more capable, we still would not budge. Photoshop is part of a larger suite. It is the ability to use Photoshop in conjunction with Quark/Indesign which makes it powerful. There are a number of people who only use raster editors, but they're not in the print world.
What I'm saying is that anyone who would need 8/16 CMYK editing and profiling would still be left empty handed by the Linux world. Before anyone starts getting on my back about Scribus and 'save to PDF' crap, get out in the real world. When your dealing with printers with very specific PDF requirements, you need the customisability provided by Distiller. When they send you a colour profile to work with, It needs to be a easy as hitting Load Colour Space in Indesign. I guarantee they will not send a Scribus compatible file. And finally about Scribus - it is not the defacto industry standard.
Therefore, if you need a raster editor for Linux, you are almost guaranteed of not needing it for the print world - except for a minuscule amount of people - and can do with anything like Gimp which is sufficiently advanced for that sort of work, ie web work, backgrounds, avatars, etcetera...

I'm not saying the law is stupid. I'm saying that the law is both unethical and immoral. The correct term is not "presumed guilt", it is presumed legislative guilt. It is not something I made up on the spot, it is actually a legal phenomena.
Yeah, that doesn't make me wrong. The majority of people in prison are repeat offenders but we don't capture people a year after they been in front of a magistrate and threaten to lock them up unless they can prove their innocence. 95% of people in Australian prisons are males - we don't lock up all males unless they can prove they are innocent.
Presumed legislative guilt is a VERY dangerous thing. It if fitting more of Machievelli than John Stuart mills.
In Australia we've just passed a law yesterday putting the burden of proof on the parent that they've not abused their children. That's right - presumed innocence is gone. I you're arrested for sedition you aren't allowed to tell anybody. If you do, they can be arrested as well as anyone they've told.
I would - and am - moving to a lesser developed country. I've decided not were yet, I am to become a missionary. The money is building in the bank as I write and I'll be leaving when my lease runs out in July '07.
There is an exceptionally good product we used when I was in the trade. It was called HDGuard. It should be used as part of your greater security arrangements, by way of disclaimer.
When try to change or create any file on the system, it creates a clone and directs every call to that file to the new file. It stores a list of pointers in a table. When the computer restarts, that file is flushed and it's like working with a new system. If you put it on straight after a ghost your sweet and the worst you ever have to contend with is physical damage to the machine.
The benefit of doing it the HDGuard way is that it doesn't interfere with any temp/swap/scratch files.
It does other neat stuff as well. It will also allow for remote shutdowns/restarts and the like.

A pretty fucking good idea since it runs the Cell.
Man, thats exactly what I thought but wasn't willing to say it in case I got flamed. Cats out now.

1. Fish eye lens
2. Extremely Low light situations
3. Bizarre developments - there are many different types of emulsions
4. Medum and Large format film
5. Legacy equipment
6. I can't afford it
WOW! Two unsunstantiated claims in one post! I'm not saying you're wrong, just that you should back that up.

Actually, Adobe products use a CSF file, not an ICC file. These can be imported into all adobe and quark products and not scribus.

If you were going to compare it your shoul have included a reference to 10.3. It's not cool in the Apple world to imply Win is on par.
Soryy windows people.

Haha - I though it was Jesus Christ commenting on the OS. On my display it wrapped just before the words.
Jesus Christ! What a retarded operating system!"

It's not ethical but I've found that a lot of sheet music can be found on limewire.
