I’ve long stopped using the highest settings on my cameras because there’s really no quality difference that I can tell other than when I want to zoom in and crop a piece. On cameras, we need a new spec to help us know what quality image we can expect. In the meantime, check out this Ars article on the topic: <a title="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2009/03/why-weve-reached-the-end-of-the-camera-megapixel-race.ars" href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2009/03
In Finland, how much you make determines the amount of a fine. For instance, a Finnish millionaire recently got a 112,000-euro speeding ticket (he was about 10 over). That’s because the fine is calculated using what he earned last year. So the guy who inherits his wealth and sits on his butt is fine. But the guy who’s working his rear end off gets penalized more. Taking this to its logical conclusion, a young person should get more time in prison because he has

Ouch.
Look at change requests like this: You have say 20 points of resources available to make all the changes. Changing teleporting in to disable abilities for 3 seconds costs 1 point to implement. Having teleporting in create a new animation where the players are teleporting to might take 5 points. That means other changes would have to not be made. I agree that the best solution would be to have teleporting result in the players essentially "Beaming" to that locatio
[quote]By the way, there are already a few examples of drugs that can enhance cognitive performance. Stimulants, for example, increase focus. Provigil will keep you alert. And a new class of compounds called "ampakines" shows promise in increasing memory. It's only a matter of time before someone, me or otherwise, succeeds in doing this. Actually, the situtation is even more interesting than that. There are drugs that can do pretty much anything. Anabolic steroids to make someone stro
[quote who="SlyDrivel" reply="2" id="2091441"]Cool. Freedom is a sincere reason for a CEO to work hard towards achievement. Myself, I am a bigger fan of people who work hard for accomplishment, to create something, to do something great, or to be someone with a life worth living. I have spent countless hours pursuing a career in science because I believe that is somewhere I can go where I can build something useful in society. I think I can improve lives, either as a medical profes
[quote who="coderunner82" reply="1" id="2091401"]Brad, Do you agree with most of ayn rand's objectivism? It sounds that way from your post (eg rational self interest)[/quote] Any sort of "ism" is something that tends to fail when practiced in its pure form. But I would say I subscribe to the basic concept of objectivism.
We should raise taxes! That'll help!
Over the years, Little-Whip, had me at a silent protector because the number of times people at work wanted her gone because she was toxic had to be well over a dozen but the point of JoeUser is that it's my blog site and I found her blogs interesting and insightful. And as a quasi-narcisist, I tend to do what I want. :) I don't care if people agree with me or not. I even have a high degree of tolerance for being insulted. I get insulted all the time. Where I draw the line is wh
As some of you know, I started out in life with relatively little . It’s one of the reasons I don’t tend to be the most sympathetic person towards people who spend their entire lives being poor. Americans who are chronically poor, in most cases, can look at their own poor choices as being why they’re in the state they’re in. The remaining are people who are physically more mentally disabled and those people I have end
Okay, is there any confirmation on whether you have to download a bunch of stuff if you buy the retail version?
[quote] . Gaining 1k gold at each warrank sounds a bit much to me, Either make it more like 600 or make it depend on the level, like. 100g*WarLevel, so first level would give you 100, second 200 et.c.[/quote] Disagree. Early on, there's hardly any gold. Later on, there's plenty of gold.
A very astute observation, Jill. I myself have wasted countless hours over the years trying to correct a misconception. It is a waste of time to do so unless you really really need that particular person to see where you're coming from.
There are a lot of things I rant about to my poor wife– CO2 claptrap, illegal immigration, political correctness, the failure of our schools, the insouciance of government, societal disintegration generally. I see cowardice everywhere. The case of our friend, Mark Steyn leaps to mind. When we have governmental tribunals to silence citizens –and non citizens alike!– (as in Canada and in Europe) totalitarianism is not far away. I am astonished that I see only shrugs over the poss

[quote] Nope. What will evolve will he a human that will adapt to the new conditions and way of "doing things" and suceed in the new enviroment.[/quote] The Soviet Union waited many years for that. I wonder how that worked out for them. There will always be successes in any environment. There were successes in Soviet Russia too. But it's all relative. The rich will still be rich. The middle class, however, won't be so well off.

Interesting article here: http://www.melissaclouthier.com/2009/03/04/going-john-galt-stop/ Definitely worth reading. So my taxes are going to go up. Way up. But don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. The middle class, however, won’t be so fine. Part of the problem with our society is that deep down, we know some basic truths about it but it has been made impolitic to speak abo
Can you imagine the uproar if Bush had made that statement?

[quote who="vStyler" reply="4" id="2072436"]I would think there are just far too many 32-bit pc's laying around worldwide for MS to realistically think about moving exclusively to 64-bit. I'd be willing to bet at least 65% of all the pc's that have had 7 beta installed on them are 32-bit.[/quote] I bet that's not the case. It's been years since PCs shipped with CPUs that could only do 32bit OSes.
FIRSTS 1. Who was your FIRST prom date? Lori Wlodyka, 12th grade. 2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love? I sure do, every day (Sherry). 3. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink? A glass of wine I think. 4. What was your FIRST job? I took out people’s trash to the dumpster for 10 cents a bag when I was little. Then I did babysitting, then I worked at an excavating company.
It’s well known I wasn’t a Bush fan. I may have more in common with Bush on ideology but in terms of his personality, I am glad he’s gone. I think Bush is a good man, I just don’t think he was well suited to be President. Obama, on the other hand, is very well suited to be President. He has far more empathy. Pundits don’t realize how much credibility Obama gets from people when he admits mistakes. The big bummer with Obama, of course, is that he doesn’t understand
