I wish I had not just spent my last mod points.
If someone is stupid enough to try and make a 3d printed gun (a opposed to machining one out of metal, as suggested below) let them blow themselves up.
A gun is simple to make, Kirk made one from some bamboo, rocks and minerals...
But I absolutely, totally LOVE depth of field. Screw the art school graduates. I bought a large screen digital tv for the illusion of a window upon the world.
I would like to think -- I sincerely HOPE -- that artificially inducing audience "focus" by depth of field will be as quaint as silent movie captions in 50 years.
I had a good run of several hundred years though...
That is dumb. Less information. I want to have everything crisp. I want to see everything I can. Not some artsy bs. Damn hipster old notalgic tech bullshit.
decent quality 50mm lens (widely known as a portrait lens because of its shallow depth of field)
Widely known where? Round these parts it's a 90 or a 105, assuming you're talking 35mm film.
I think the poster was talking crop sensor cameras, where a 50mm produces the same size image as a 75mm on a full frame (35mm) camera.
On a side note, I never got the 50mm hysteria. I always found it either too long or too short when used with 35mm. It was a nice wide angle focal length on 4x5 though...
We need oversight for government, and we need oversight for corporations.
We the people* don't give a crap as long as our ipad can stream entertainment.
Sometimes I wonder if democracy is dead.
that I would like to see...
PS. for all the naysayers here, There are MANY fonts that approach illegibility and are used for style only. I once worked in a sign shop and we had a poster with thousands of fonts. Admittedly we did not use many of them, but occasionally one of the esoteric ones would be perfect for a job. These fonts, as well as being mathematical curiosities could be used for specific circumstances.
Drill bits, sockets, and other tools are usually not a problem. Printing paper (A4 vs US Letter) or building material (4' x 8' plywood, or 2x4's) are not metric. Canada is a bit of a hodge-podge...
Canada is a bad example. We are so overwhelmed by US influence we cannot convert fully. Use a less schizophrenic European country, for example, and there is not a whiff of the US imperial system.
there are some clueless people out there. I once charged someone to install a mouse. Granted it was a house call, and I had to cover my gas as well as my time, but still...
Re: tired of the lack of progress on GIMP

Krita 2.8 Released
·
· Score: 2
I too have tried to use GIMP over the years. GIMP can be good for some things, and can even be great for a subset of things, but the overall workflow is very convoluted and difficult. I seem to be trying to do things in spite of the program.
I know there are some people who do great things with GIMP, and I have sung the praises of specific features (they had a resynthesize before Photoshop for example) but overall, Photoshop, with all its warts (and there are many) is just more cohesive.
Back on topic, I have never really been able to get much out of Krita. I am a photographer and quite tech savvy, but I do not "get:" Krita. Maybe I will have to try again...
And to stretch the analogy, the throttle has been moved to just beside the dash with no indication (other than buried in the owners manual) of where it is.
I admit I have not used 8.1, but even without the metro abomination (and an ugly desktop reminiscent of win 3.1) things in win8 have not only been moved (again?) for no reason, but they have been cleverly HIDDEN (I am looking at you power button).
I guess I could learn all the new tricks, but when the system blue screens and up pops a HAPPY FACE!!? yeah, no. Microsoft has lost touch with its users.

CBC used to do this for hockey games. You could go to the website and choose your angle of view. Formula One would probably be a better use for it though.
There is a huge car refurbishment industry. Most of the cars refurbished are more "exciting" than a Camry. Watch some of Jay Leno's videos to get an idea of refurbishing old cars (some before the turn of the last century...) The problem is that most common cars, like the Camry, are designed to be disposable.Think of them as toasters. Sure you can fix your old toaster, but it is probably cheaper, and definitely less hassle to go out and buy a new one...

I wish there was a "sad" mod. you have kids and you don't know how to play with them?
Or fanboys. ;)
Fixed that for you...

just to clarify, which side were you talking about?
What does serving in the US military have to do with anything?

This is possibly the most insightful comment I have ever seen on slashdot.

The system is more interested in protecting itself than in doing their jobs well.
^^ this ^^
Please. There is no such thing as a legal free market.
Fixed that for you.

The less on the CANBUS the better.
I thought it was legal in a few states now, or does it fall under DUI laws?
