And then your marvelous 500dpi work of art gets saved at 72dpi for the website and your little 20x20 widget becomes a solid block shaded oh so slightly different than the area around it.
Yeah, but it's like advertizing that your PCB has the USS Enterprise on it. No one's going to see it, at least not without an electron scanning microscope.
I mean, if we're talking Photoshop here, max zoom is what, 1600%? Maybe 2000%?
Sure, you can make another layer with a DPI of 20,000 or some hugely illogical number...but it's only going to look as well as it gets rendered.
So, for the car analogy, yes, you can extend the spedometer on your Geo to account for speeds of Mach 1. The engine still won't make it past 100 mph though.
Well, not necessarily hard as in complex, but hard as in boring.
I find Dickens hard to get through, for example, cause he's drier than dust (and as palatable). I'd find myself having to reread pages because by the end of the page I'd've forgotten the top half.
That subject was turned into citizen is not too surprising.
No, the surprising bit was that it was a pretty instantaneous change. You can't exactly write something in ink, give it a formal review and then erase what you want changed; you'd redraft it. With that timeline, the first draft, say, v0.1, would have 'subject' in it. They'd review it and replace it with 'citizen' in v0.2.
But what happened here was 'subject' was down, in ink, erased (well...wiped off) and replaced with 'citizen' for the v0.1 release.
That, IMO, makes it much more interesting than simply changes made throughout various drafts: it shows the thought process when it was being written, not after.
Not from what I remember. From what I remember, citizens don't have to provide proof of citizenship so all an illegal would technically have to do is say they're a citizen.
About the only thing I can find concrete about the AZ law is that there's wording in it that equates to wording in the US Code. So much misinformation and extreme interpretations, I just can't sift the wheat from the chaff at this point.
Isn't it great when emotions run politics?...someone get me a cold, emotionless summary of a law any day.
Or you can go, "I'm a citizen." Since, as a citizen, you don't have to carry paperwork proving you are, they have to take you at your word.
The beautiful thing about this law is the police are likely going to be very diligent about following the letter and spirit of it. They know the entire nations (along with a few additional nations) are watching them. I guarentee there are citizens in AZ praying they get caught by this law just to file suits against anyone they can stick it to.
The US law is essentially that they are required to carry it, but enforcement is such it's essentially an additional charge, and not something people are stopped routinely for.
Whether or not the Federal law is enforced like the AZ law is wasn't the point. The point is there IS a Federal statute on the books that mirrors the AZ law.
The Tax Foundation, an independent tax-research group in Washington, has found that the average taxpayer's combined tax burden accounted for 26.6 percent of income in 2009 and 26.9 percent in 2010, the lowest since 1965. And according to the White House's Office of Management and Budget, total federal tax receipts were 14.8 percent of gross domestic product in 2009, the lowest percentage since 1950.
I bolded combined so you wouldn't come back and go "but that doesn't include state and local taxes!!11"
Unproportional, based on population, direct taxes were unconstitutional.
I.e., the Federal gov't could not tax someone in NY making $20k/year and someone in CT making $20k/year at the same rate, since the populations of the states are different.
However, they could have taxed the NY person at X% and CT at Y% and be perfectly legal. (As long as X and Y are in proper proportion to the state's population...however that would have worked.)
(e) Personal possession of registration or receipt card; penalties
Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d) of this section.
And yet this does nothing to change Article 1, Section 8...
If it wasn't income tax, it'd be something else, because the Constitution proper gives Congress the right to make and collect taxes.
Honestly, it'd be one thing if Art. 1 Sec 8 didn't say anything, but people who keep picking nits about the 16th amendment make it sound like we wouldn't be taxed at all if it wasn't there, which is so off the mark it'd be laughable. Ok, fine, so we outlaw the income tax. Then what? I guess excise taxes and duties will have to go through the roof...they'll get passed on to us, the consumer, and we won't notice a single thing in the end except our paychecks will be larger...but so will our spending.
I am aware of your comparison that you're trying to make, but 'you' were just as active in the drilling process as the third party.
In this case 'you' are entirely dependent on the third party for results, and don't have the staff to double check everything. (In fact, if you had the staff, you could likely have ran your own polls.)

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
This is why I want Mitsubishi's LaserVues to (a) come down in price and (b) get in the 32" - 40" range...

I think one thing that's key to take away from this is he's talking about image file pixels, as in from PNGs.
I originally read the subject and went 'ooh, new LCD pixel patterns?!'
Of course, his funky pixelated images still have to be rendered on the rectangular pixels the screen displaying it uses.
Most of the great artists were mad.

Fits right in with the air, at least.
Or the chance some people had a hard time with the Hemingway.
At the very least, all 24 should have tried each method, changing the stories each time.
But wait, isn't this about making sure people are following the law, and the federal law requires *all* aliens have ID.
Even the illegal ones?

That's only because you refuse to fix the bug report code!
Hypotheticals are nice, but I find it difficult to grasp the concept that somehow one would be able to earn money and not spend it at all.
You don't have to *force* people to spend their money; most will do it willingly.
(And if you decide to throw out the argument of the homeless, they don't earn enough to be taxed on their income in the first place.)
The US law is essentially that they are required to carry it, but enforcement is such it's essentially an additional charge, and not something people are stopped routinely for.
Whether or not the Federal law is enforced like the AZ law is wasn't the point. The point is there IS a Federal statute on the books that mirrors the AZ law.
And how it will be enforced is still an unknown.

Touché, sir. I tip my king to you.
If you contract party A for service X, and they instead provide service Y claiming it as X, would you sue A to "save face" or "breach of contract?"
Real men change their own oil.
Do you chemically test the oil to verify that what's in the bottle is what's advertised as being in the bottle?
Do you refine your own motor oil from crude?
Or are you relying blindly on the refiner to honestly provide you with what you're hoping for?
Depends if their lawyers are better than yours.

Then...explain why?
"If you don't know what you did wrong, then I'm not going to tell you" IS just as stupid as it sounds.
And if the mechanic used the wrong type of oil?
Well, I guess I could do that myself. Unless the factory filled the bottle wrong, so I guess I should refine my own car oil?
Where up the chain does it stop being 'my fault'?
Your example is sidestepping the issue of the seemingly trustworthy third party.
