@diasdiem: Well, it's either those options or a giant sandbag/sand-filled base. Or suction cups - and we all know how reliable those are with big monitors.

@diasdiem: They have multiple attachment styles. Clamp-on is just one.

@waclark57: I do believe you're detecting correctly.

@evologynow: I agree too, but do us all a favor and stop spamming your blog.

@8bitmac: Hey now, the AE-1 is a very sweet camera. It's in my camera bag next to my 5D mkII. Film can do anything digital can do.

I'm still not entirely sure why people insist on specifying the camera used. Film could have easily done this. As could a P&S with a long exposure setting. Knowing the camera make and model does nothing for the photograph.

@wildfire359: Why? With a student's budget, driving 40 minutes for pens is unreasonable. In fact, it's probably more economical overall - UPS or whatever service is likely going past your residence anyway, so a negligible amount of fuel is used for your delivery. Whereas driving just for pens wastes over a gallon of…

@Your_Real_Father: You know it took you longer to write that comment than it did to read what the apology letter said, right? And if you read it, you would know that it is funny enough to justify more than a one-liner apology.

@sid9221: It's same ol' Kevlar treated with shear-thickening liquid. It won't be like some sort of water shirt.

@virus: Film is actually incredibly detailed - grainy film doesn't limit resolution. Film rescanned for the higher 1080p resolution will yield much higher quality out of the box. Grain is simply a texture for an image. Film grain =/= digital noise.

@Brent Negley: No, but it's true to the format it was shot on. A little visual texture can go a long way. A wonderful Stieglitz photograph would be cold and near-disinteresting if it didn't have elements of the process used.

@LastVigilante: Not when we're hitching rides with someone else.

@Dallifornia: True. But when it's being written about and delivered to the masses as an "eco" product, I personally feel it crosses that line. Not that it was ASUS' doing.

Please don't use "eco-friendly" with any of these products here. That Asus laptop is what's called "Faux Green". Meaning, it looks like it's environmentally friendly, but it's still stuffed with all of the bad stuff the version before it had. It's all a veneer, I tell you!

@fysician: Wouldn't work - the car body itself also has to be designed with radar deflection in mind.

@johnyeros: I will give you that. I worked in a mailing house for a couple years - shit costs money.

@sg1969: It's based on an assumption that they get a certain amount of tips per hour, since it's expected in American society. Usually it works out evenly, and sometimes it pays above and beyond. Minimum wage in New York State is $7.25, whereas food service workers can expect a $4.65 minimum wage.

@Tommy Five: Strange... that second post was supposed to be an edit... weird.

@Brodka: regrettably: They also need to pay someone to stuff the envelope, apply the address, and either have staff available for drop-off or pick-up service.

@johnyeros: When was the last time you shipped something? Not a cheap service!
