There are features of Mission Control that are impressive (full screening certain applications creates a new Desktop, for example) but I'd consider integrating Dashboard into the mix to be something one might consider the "dumbing down" of Spaces.

Actually I'm fairly certain it has more to do with tungsten/daylight balancing of the film stocks. While many features have shifted to full digital production, tungsten lights read as orange on daylight-balanced films and daylight reads as blue on tungsten-balanced films.

Don't such policies exist, though? Homeowners insurance and renters insurance typically have options to cover burglary. I would argue that the risk here is not people gaming things on the market side, but likely the traditional route of filing a false police report and making a fraudulent claim. Ideally there could be an extension on existing policies for people who are going to be offering their homes on services like airbnb.

Edit: I should have scanned the thread

Why do people always think they can get away without at least consulting a designer?

My on-set experience with the One, as a student, was remarkably similar. I do not, however, assume that the camera hasn't been improved greatly in the last few years. There is some credence to the complaint of the design's orientation, however. The inability to look through the lens is something that really bothered me, as the operator. It's just one reason I appreciate the careful design of film cameras.

Hey this is seriously great. I've been using spreadsheets forever and using some pretty dodgy brew calculators over the years. One request, though, for a cider guy like myself: any chance of expanding it into wines, ciders and meads? I love the layout of the brew stats, though. Cheers.

Edit: just saw the bit abou the custom fermentables. This would make the site indispensable for me.

Hey, this is really great. I love these apps which turn existing video into new forms of media. If you haven't seen it already, you should check out Cory Arcangel's "Colors PE."

Deduction leads me to believe that she's talking about the UK. It's another English speaking country which likely has been exposed to her and her work in some form. Secondly, it has notoriously harsh libel and slander laws. I think that pining for laws like that, as a writer, is horrendously self-sabotaging as it is akin to call for truncations in the First Amendment.

True, I simply based this off of the addicts that I have known. It is totally anecdotal, but from the time I spent with them the consensus was that powdered coke was no longer desirable to snort after long periods of time and so they would move onto smoking it. It wasn't very long before many of them switched directly to crack. I suppose if I ran in different circles I would have seen people switch to injecting instead.

I think that not including these forms of the drugs you mentioned will entirely defeat the purpose of legalizing all drugs in one fell swoop. Aside from their scary chemical properties, you should take into consideration that the people who are addicted to these drugs are often driven to desperate situations because of their illegal status and resulting cost. Having known several heroin addicts, it is not realistic that they would reduce their intake to opium willingly even if that meant they are within legal rights to do so. The same goes for cocaine; many people graduate beyond the use of cocaine to crack because simple powdered cocaine fails to fulfill their need or because their nasal cavities are too damaged to suffice.

What I am saying is that I believe your idea of waiting for the market for processed drugs to "dry up" will inevitably mean creating a class of drug users who will continue to be persecuted until they presumably die out. This seems remarkably inhumane.

Yes, but now that experience of being locked in a room and bored to death is pieced up and spread throughout every day of your life; album by album.

One of the major difference is lens coating. Uncoated glass reflects roughly 7% of light per element. On a simple normal-length prime like this it may not be a huge issue, but you would see a major difference with a longer focal length consisting more elements.

Visually, coated lenses yield more contrast. In the case of more modern (usually after the 70's) multi-coated lenses, there is also a UV-reducing layer that maintains more detail at a distances due to minimized haziness.

Some of my favorite examples of a classic, uncoated lens showing its effect are from the Lewis Hines photos of the Empire State Building construction.

There is some obvious dodging and burning done to this print in particular (the worker has been darkened compared with the cityscape in the background) but notice how much the detail fades with distance.

In theory they could prompt advertisers to create distorted ads, simply requiring users to visually decode the brand name.

It seems that this is nothing more than an (average) attempt at providing self-help type information in the form of a conspiratorial stab at public education. (Seven Ways to Blah Blah Blah.) Notice that he immediately derives the goal of public schools from a result: people become complacent, therefore the "system" intends to brainwash people to be complacent!
