I remember one time getting an old LCII from my school, it had 43 viruses on it.... This machine had never accessed the internet.

They only do a top speed of like 0.3 mph, though.

I spent some time at JPL during the last open house, and I talked to some of the engineers involved in this, and in other programs. The amount of technology that comes from that place is immense, and it amazes me how much of it, designed in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's, is only now making it to modern devices.

Because it implies that fat and sugar are good for you, just as long as you don't have those pesky carbs. Nevermind that Dr Atkins himself died of a heart attack... Oh, I'm sorry, I meant...a head injury from falling... which was caused by having a heart attack.

Guinness is well-known for having outlandish posters. They've had ones showing animals drinking Guinness, too.

The problem is that the kind of people who would step up to rule this are almost exclusively psychopaths, if the studies I've read are any indication.

I would have thought they already had this...

When they split, does it change the frequency? I'd check myself, but you already did the google.

I think you're lion.

Somehow, manual mode controls have become an almost mythical, unobtainable "feature" in today's media recording technology. For instance, even my 7D, quite possibly one of the most sophisticated and technologically capable cameras ever to be built this side of $20,000, still will not offer the capability of manual…

It already happens, at least among those lucky enough to be loaded with cash. When I lived in Beverly Hills (I had friends- it wasn't my house), I was amazed at the amount of private security vehicles that regularly cruised up and down the street. I was stopped by one once, due to the fact that I was driving a dirty…

Melodyne's cooler than either of those.

The real issue is that this technology has a serious potential for abuse. For instance, it is likely that law enforcement would be the first to apply this technology, making it impossible to capture video of them bullying people and violating their rights. It is possible that television manufacturers would be…

The Nazi invasion of Russia was indeed a massive a strategic blunder, and this fact is obvious even without the lens of double hindsight. Why anyone would attempt to take Moscow during a Russian winter is beyond comprehension - it was pretty much a guarantee on the production of hundreds of thousands of Nazicicles.…

The standard Windows running underneath looks so messy by comparison.

On almost every camera, there's a button to allow for instant printer transfer and "picture ordering" - Even my Canon DSLRs have one. Somehow this is considered less of a gimmick than HDR or instant panorama, or manual audio levels.

For instance, what if you are a voting machine company in Ohio, and you happen to publish a photograph of the key that opens the voting machines on your company website for all to see... and...what if your engineers decided that an identical key for all of your voting machines would serve as sufficient security…

the human hair analogy/comparison seems to be overused. I want to know how big it is compared to a paramecium, or a bacteria!

When I do medium format, and any portrait work where I feel full frame would suit the image better, I use film. For the rest of the stuff I use my 7D.

Polaroid was extremely useful in certain fields such as wardrobe in films, and also was a great option for checking your shot before you used your even-more-expensive medium or large format film. Now there's Powershots and Digi-Hasselblads, so we don't really need them for those purposes anymore.
