Honestly, I don't know what to make of the "news" of RS' imminent demise. Just 2 days ago I visited a nearby RS store and bought stuff there. The store was well-stocked and I wasn't the only customer in the store.

Having treated thousands of individuals with schizophrenia, bipolar and other similar severe, chronic disorders I found the article to be fascinating. It succeeded in portraying the "mindset" of the creator of the OS and giving a

Medications are tools not answers. All drugs have multiple effects most of which have received little or no study at all. We are not fortune-tellers. It's impossible to predict exactly what effects a drug will have in a given indi

Quite late here, and I wish I had more time to comment. I guess the main point to make is the assertions about effects on serotonin/dopamine systems of higher altitude locations, and effects of these messenger chemicals on mood/c

An interesting article that expresses some of the nagging thoughts that "de-skilling" is becoming more obvious. I've tried to tell myself that I've become cynical and biased with age, but the author's commentary ab

The NASA Hasselblad was, and still is, an impressive piece of photographic machinery. Hasselblads were used for a long time in the US space program, the manual saying "since 1962" and obviously, well beyond 1984. And indeed havin

I have FBSD 10.x running in VM and production, and I'd agree it's probably best to install the OS first before trying to add applications. In my experience following this policy leaves fewer ways for things to get screwed up. Re:

Nice shots. I especially like the 2 pictures of the women in the rain, and I'm a sucker for nice cloud photos. I wholeheartedly concur, the E-1 is as close to Leica-like quality as any camera I've used. In one way the E-1 is sup

Thanks for pointing this out. I've owned several Leicas, including pre-M models, IIIc and IIIf. Among M Leica cameras I once had an M-3, and have owned an M-6 since the 1980's ("Classic" according to the article). Like

Wet plate photography was supplanted by technologically better dry-plate methods in the 1880's. Yet there are periodic revivals of interest in the older ways. It's fascinating how such "ancient" art techniques never rea
