You could test it. Get a large piece of graph paper and set up your camera in front of it (make sure it's flat, centered and perpendicular to the camera axis) on a tripod. At various zoom levels and apertures, take pictures of the paper in both RAW and [some other file format].
Open up the files in an image editor where you can overlay the photos on a rectangular grid. Compare. You can see barrel and pincushion distortion etc. Note that "distortion" in an optical sense is only a subset of many types of optical defects, which also include things like chromatic aberration (common in cheap optics) that I was not including. Correcting distortion would require some geometric transformation that would vary depending on the lens settings and therefore be very difficult to do, in-camera or otherwise. Conclusion: I don't think you'll see any difference in distortion.
No it's not that either. It's an initialism, or more generally, an abbreviation. Nobody says, "figh-eye, we have a meeting tomorrow". An acronym is a pronounced as a word, like RADAR or LASER, not one letter at a time.
It is, and Oregon has the highest usage of hybrids of any state. Problem is, they use so little gasoline, that the tax revenues are shrinking, so instead of a simple gas tax hike, they propose this boondoggle.
You'll notice from the data you found that they vary by less than one order of magnitude so it's still a useful approximate measure. Other "measurements" vary as well, for example "floors" to measure the height of a building, "blocks" to measure distance in a city or town, "car lengths" to measure tailgating, "gnat's asses"...oh never mind.
"...Apple has carved out a niche for itself by overwhelming its customers with flashy marketing and blinding them to the alternatives."
Can you tell me by what means has Apple "blinded" people to alternatives? I'm sure if they could do that, they would (as would any company in its right mind), but how is it even possible? Just a bit hyperbolic on your part?
I agree. They don't expect KIDS to be using using them? Or they expect KIDS to know they shouldn't move the console while the disc is spinning? My son is very responsible for a 9 year old, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with a damaged disc, and I wouldn't blame him. I'm just glad that we got our first XBOX360 replaced after it died from RROD and the replacement is still going!
Several people *have* (including IIRC Scheme, LISP, Perl, Python, BASIC et al.) and others have pointed out in each case why it's also the wrong choice;-) However, none of those comments answers the OP's question, which wasn't to suggest a particular language, but a paradigm - and there have been some answers to that too. Skip over the grumpy posts. Every Slashdot thread has them.
Based on comments I've seen, I'd probably start trying to learn Scheme and/or Python... if I wanted to start anything at all.

"all facts were once theories" Really? What about axioms?
I don't think you'd need RAW files in order to see lens distortion. In-camera processing does not correct lens distortion AFAIK.
OK, he should have asked more specifically, "since when is there an 'I' nucleotide that belongs in DNA?"
No it's not that either. It's an initialism, or more generally, an abbreviation. Nobody says, "figh-eye, we have a meeting tomorrow". An acronym is a pronounced as a word, like RADAR or LASER, not one letter at a time.
The real question is: what is a "long-term point"?
It is, and Oregon has the highest usage of hybrids of any state. Problem is, they use so little gasoline, that the tax revenues are shrinking, so instead of a simple gas tax hike, they propose this boondoggle.
Just a ton? If they're all my size, that's only eight people!

Better still, use an outline font at larger size, print it out, then fill in all the characters with a pencil or crayon. Dramatic ink savings!
So which is it: rising or sinking?
Could be. Is that his common name, while his official name is Pseudotsuga menziesii?

You still have quite a bit. Perspective (ability to move your head, etc.), relative sizes and all that.
But they're often salty and/or shrimp-tasting, and usually beautifully packaged with individual desiccant packs!

No need to name them when they're all sealed in boxes with cyanide capsules.
...and colds aren't contagious but rhinoviruses are, and tuberculosis isn't contagious but tubercle bacilli are, etc. etc. etc. stupid git.
Reminds me of Francis Ford Coppola.
The meaning of "represent" depends on context.
As Steve Martin said (sang actually) "It's just impossible...to suck a Cadillac through your nose." (or inhale an entire country).
PEX doesn't make good wiring. Even worse than aluminum.
...all of which leads to Private Agony.
