>11 - lower dynamic range than any film camera
Wrong, digital now has a wider dynamic range than film.
>12 - no really wide-angle optics (of quality, anyway...)
True on low end DSLRs but any mid range plus one will have a full frame sensor and thus the same wide angle capabilities as a film camera.
>13 - you can't change to "better film" - need to change to a better camera body when you need better.
You don't need to. It's already as good as you'll need. If you want a different look such as grain, B&W you can always do that in Photoshop/GIMP afterwards.
I'm yet to meet *anyone* pro or amateur who hasn't made the change and gone back. Without exception they all wished they jumped earlier. In fact I don't know a single pro (as in commercial & fashion photography, not weddings) who has used fil in the last 3-4 years.
>How about a FOSS program that'd help me manage calories?
Here's a clue:
Eat less
Excercise more
Unless you have a medical condition such as dodgy thyroid, that's all you need to know. Anything else is people fleecing you as an easy target with fad diets and silly food substitutes.
And the important bit is *eat less* not *eat boring food*. You can have burgers, fries and a shake, just don't do it more than once every couple of weeks or so. Just eat what you normally eat but go for 'European' portions not 'US' ones. I know people who have got full just eating a starter in the US because the portions are so insanely huge.
He was very clear about bringing them back again. The closest they get to that in this story is "The voyage to the moon will mean a mission of longer duration."
Maybe this is a new way to help with overcrowding?
Me, I'm just damn glad that in the unlikely event I get to go there in my lifetime (well, it won't be after) I'll be able to get a decent takeaway. Yummee.
>If you take out the DNA from a rabbit's egg, and put in human DNA,

No, the result is a hybrid, either a ruman or a habbit. My money is on the latter - they are trying to grow more nuns and the Catholics aren't happy about the approach, hence their opposition.

Fair Enough

That is no barrier to releasing an album - see most of the charts for further info.
>capability of missiles (and other defence systems) to handle war through a year-end changeover?
That's why every new year all the soldiers climb out the trenches, swap chocolates, cigarettes etc, and shake hands before climbing back in and resuming war the next day.
>Is it just me or did Fox News sensor the leg by blurring it out?????
That's nothing. Bush actually has 2 heads and 4 arms but look at how he appears on Fox News - *that's* lying on a grand scale. I say the people should know the truth!
(before the usual zero humour people start refuting the above, I know Bush really only has one head and 2 arms....)
>Hilarious that cost should be an issue when it comes to saving the world.
What did Bush say about Kyoto? He wouldn't sign up to anything that hurt the US economy? Well, dude, debating about the value of Kyoto apart, it's going to hurt a whole lot more if you don't do something pretty damned radical.
Also interesting to note I got modded -1 over-rated for this opinion. One wonders if there is a mod who drives an SUV and sporting a twin GFX card monster PC muttering about how no commie liberal is going to stop him doing what he damn well pleases and FU with some negative mods.
I can't see anything here which hasn't been known for some time now and debated to death elsewhere. The only difference is this time a US paper has actually bothered to print something about it. And people wonder why the US is viewed as insuler.
with this sort of deal they get told to turn up for prison in a few months time. Anyone else gets found guilty and slammed away. Executive crime OTOH seems to involve giving them plenty of time to get their affairs in order or simply disappear, as desired. TBH, If I was a very rich dude and had been given 8 years in jail, I'd be tempted to disappear.
Re the incubators, in the UK that was pretty much shot down in flames within a day or so of the initial report. Sure, we can still get suckered but it's much harder these days.
>that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11.
But every fule knows that it was Saddam that orchestrated 9/11, trained the terrorists, paid for everything etc. Oh hang on, sorry, I was on the wrong channel.
Sort of agree but another angle is that in the past, your average Joe had very little access to media/news sources other than the daily papers so feeding them propaganda was easier and less obvious.
Now anyone can google up a whole bunch of views on an event and see the spin a government or company put on something. The result is we're all far more savvy about this things, resent being manipulated so obviously and less trusting of the Powers That Be overall.
And this was a plot line, we'd all think 'What a bunch of crap, that would never happen here.'
Inch by inch, week by week, something very scary is happening and more worryingly, nowhere near enough people are noticing or even care.
In Britain companies can be plural or singular depending on context. You would use singular when the company is acting as one e.g. 'Zob corporation is in agreement with the ruling' but plural when the corporate entity is not acting as one e.g. 'Zob Corporation are internally in disagreement about the best way forward'.

Repeat after me, it's lose, not loose. Lose, not loose.

How so?

Watch out! I'll be throwing my teddy bear out the pram next ;-)
Oh I wouldn't disagree. My concern was that Bush didn't want to sign up to something that hurt the US economy in the short term and sod the long term.
The monitor alas uses more than the PC. Heck, it's a start!

According to the meter on my plug, this home brew 486 PC is currently pulling about 35w. Sure, could be less but it could be a *lot* more.

We could just cut down on our insane energy usage/wastage.
But hey, that would involve personal effort and we can't have that, can we.

OK, I've now had time to read/digest and investigate. This contradicts in many ways that article._ freeze_over&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
