Moral nihilism, it's a thing, same with ethical nihilism. It says that ethics/morals are merely a human construct, and as such can be pretty much arbitrary.
It may do absolutely nothing for energy consumption, but as a bonus people that live in cities/large towns will have less light pollution for shots of the stars.
Just bring the dslr with you everywhere, I do with mine.
The eos 6d has wifi and can upload to facebook etc also. It's a far stretch from phone network connectivity but you can use your phone as an AP if required.
trumps a marginal increase in photo quality for most people.
Depends on what you are doing, taking iphone photos at night in ambient lighting is asking for nasty things.
For a second I thought it was running liquefied petroleum gas. Which is usually a combination of propane/butane that actually does power some cars. The term 'gas' is used for gaseous substances mostly outside the US.:P
Why should the clocks be adjusted instead of the work hours? instead of 9-5 work from 8-4, leave the clocks to tell the actual time instead of some arbitrary measure.
Depends on what level of contrast you are content with. The spatial frequency response tends to be lower at higher frequencies (higher resolution) and you wind up with a gradual loss of contrast as the resolution increases.
Even most canon L glass can get pretty bad spatial frequency response at resolutions of 30mp plus (for varying degrees of what is considered 'bad)
It doesn't have to be compatible with everything, only the things said parents want to do.
As with anything, it's a needs analysis. These days the most common uses for computers by this audience is simply a web browser of which there is no shortage under linux.
Even in instances like this where the user is dead set against non-windows things, I'd likely just put windows xp on a vm They get their familiar environment and I get my easier to debug system.
But the 5d3 sensor does have better low light performance than the 5d2, the post above mine implied canon were doing nothing with their sensors, which is false, they are being constantly improved.
You are assuming I said something that I didn't. It should come to no surprise that canons newer sensors are better than their older ones. It should also come to no surprise that using a feature size several nodes smaller could facilitate sony making sensors with better resolution and dynamic range.
Nikon is eating their lunch lately with Sony's latest also beating them. You have to hang your head low when Sony beats you.
You do realize that the nikon d800 and d600 use _sony_ sensors right?
All I can see is they are busy adding flip out touchscreens and trying to convince people that its a "feature"
All they've been doing is making their sensors more sensitive yielding better noise at the same iso and higher iso settings to use.
The really interesting thing is canon are _still_ on a 500nm fab process for their full frame sensors. The old nikon d3s used a 350nm process and still couldn't beat canon. The sony sensors used in the d800 use a 180nm process.
This makes me wonder what kind of crazy things canon will come up with once they do switch process.
And you can have the best glass in the world, but if your sensor is from say a kodak dcs 620, that is just a complete waste. The whole system has to be suited, one weak link kills quality.
By "larger width" lens are you meaning larger aperture, smaller focal length or larger image circle?
All of these things have effects on the image and have practical limitations. (for example change the image circle area to be larger and you need a new format, all the old 35mm lenses they have can't be used for the larger frame unless you like black edges).
The more radioactive something is, the shorter it's half-life. Just so you know. The worst of the worst have half-lives of seconds, The still nasty stuff has one of days/weeks, etc.
Homebrew was around well before the xbox, arguably the dreamcast was the biggest thing to happen to homebrew. Once it was realized it was possible to simply burn discs that it could boot.
I wish there were something like the GIMP, but for music production.
The way I go about this personally, have jack as the audio/midi backend, rosegarden as sequencer, hooked up to several synths, bristol for analog, linuxsampler for sampled things like piano, yoshimi for other synth things, all hooking up to ardour to record.
It's a little messy using multiple programs chained together, but you get used to it.
But linux has these things called drivers too, their quality is controlled centrally by the kernel for the majority. While there is the occasional regression there is rarely any kernel panic inducing bugs.
At an event I was chatting with one of my friends about linux vs windows, (me being the linux guy) and saying how I think windows is fine stability wise these days but it would never have the flexibility I can sometimes require. As we were discussing this, the windows 7 laptop we were glancing at that had no programs loaded, blue screened.
A once off happenstance? perhaps. But it certainly took it down a notch in my opinion.
On a typical linux distro like fedora I could have every app I'm ever likely to use _and_ their developer libraries in just under 10gb, always makes me wonder why windows is so much larger and provides so much less.
Read further into it, and you effectively get three options in working with it.
1. Run your android things on it, entirely locally, with a quality controller
2. Use your LOCAL PC to stream stuff to it that then feeds the tv.
3. Use the cloud.
Personally, I'm more interested in number one more than anything else. and I'm disappointed that not a single thread on here has went "this is a neat hand-held console"
Yes, you can stream cloud stuff on it, big deal, it has better uses, lets look at those.

You can have an intrinsic value on a sliding scale from bad to good,
All value is assigned by people. It can vary from none to the highest the person can think of, and can be arbitrary.
How is survival objectively beneficial? The universe is indifferent to us, and does not give two fucks what we do. The wheels just keep on turning.
Morals and ethics are just human constructs in the end, there is no such thing as good or evil in an objective sense, just conflicting interests.
Moral nihilism, it's a thing, same with ethical nihilism. It says that ethics/morals are merely a human construct, and as such can be pretty much arbitrary.
which won't work with any of their consumer-priced lenses.
Sure it will, the 50mm f/1.8 works quite well, is full framed and sets you back $150.
In regards to the UPS, some do active filtering, some don't. The filtering ones are more expensive generally though.
Another possibility could be that he is somehow covering the exhaust fans and putting it under some nasty thermal stress

This, everyone seems to think wayland is more than it is. For now it's basicaly an overhyped screen multiplexer for X.

Sensitivity is adjusted by the ISO setting.
the newly developed CMOS sensor is capable of capturing video such as this.
This is intended to read as "here, have some footage we took earlier, it is possible for you to do this too.

In a similar amount, I'd take plutonium over polonium any day.
