Are they really that bad?

This is brilliant, IMHO. All benefits go to Smaller designs.

And then when they don't know the first thing about electronics, they will die, because the people who could have helped them are dead at their feet.

Yes, but radios and lights can't run on butane.

Built my first computer in 9th grate. Pretty sure the 6GB hard drive in it ran me around $80+. You and your $1/GB. Cute...

The first thing I will do in a catastrophe will be to jack the Solar Panels from the road-side indicators on the highway and every battery I can scavenge from the junk-yard. I'll have power.

You are kidding, right? A cure for Allergies? You have a very limited understanding of the human body, don't you?

Unfortunately, since florescent pulsate (recharging and discharging of the ballasts) you may get rid of the color shift, but there will still be lumance banding and exposure variation. The color shift is caused by this (heat, temperature, yada yada). If you are already shooting in conditions where this becomes…

Went double edge Christmas of 2012. Bought a 100 pack of Astra Super Stainless for something like $10. I use each blade a max of 4 times, typically only 2 times. Best shaves I've ever had in my life, and that 100 pack is still half full or so.

However, unlike the human body, this self repairing method does not reform the vascular system, and therefor a future break to the same area will go un-repaired.

I would imagine something even more effective may be along the lines of un-powered hard drives and some form of a switching mechanism to turn the drives on and off, mount them to various system ports. All part of a larger system that uncatalogued where data is located.

No.... The NSA takes in to account likely-hood that the exploit is well known or likely to be discovered by third parties and keeps exploits under-wraps that give it the upper hand at monitoring, not to put it's citizens at risk.

I don't get it. (FD: I am an American)

While likely an actress, as someone who has shot hooping events I can say with a small touch of authority: she's not half bad. She's actually got a few moves.

As a photographer, I HATE shooting in spaces lit primarily with florescent light. If you are shooting at any reasonably fast speed, each and every frame will have a different color balance. Or, worse, banding of color balance variation.

How could it be a burred piece of "Old Seattle?" The article states that workers would be at diver pressures, and have to spend time in decompression. Is the machine under water? Because if it isn't, to achieve atmospheric pressures of that magnitude you would have to be REALLY DEEP. Even if it IS underwater, the…

Jesus, you may want to correct the story. 3-4 cm is HUGE compared to 3-4 mm. That's two m's.

This has a focal-plane shutter, so you still get that. Also, in regards to the above, this is clearly not a press camera, it has a market: video, events (think pageant or non-sport), portrait, landscape.

I forgot: Metabones adapters give you focus and metering/etc for other systems lenses.

You two do realize that, due to the fact that this is a NEX camera, a camera with one of the shortest flange distances on the market, that you can, in fact, use nearly ANY lens on them.
