> based on the most realistic SciFi I've seen yet Big fan of the series but hard sci-fi it is definitely not! True, the humans don't break the laws of physics, but Eros certainly does, and if season 3 tracks the books then that

While I'm always happy to see good scifi being promoted and well-funded, as a huge fan of the books.. I could not get into the TV series at all. It feels like 90% of it is missing, and what remains just doesn't convince. I heard i

Which model do you have? No way this should be happening on a recent one just between two applications. On the X (3GB) this doesn't seem to be an issue for me at all.

Hm. Are you sure? I don't mean the repetitive "chirp" sound which is typical for guiding the visually impaired, most obviously at traffic signals. I mean actual birdsong recordings, played quite subtly at random intervals (ie

Never seen a conductor do it, but I've seen other passengers lay into someone for being too rowdy or (especially) talking on the phone. Usually following a comically obvious build-up of red-faced anger over 5-10 minutes or so. Anecdota

I would say that the Japanese are the most "into" trains by a fairly wide margin. They permeate everyday life and popular culture there in a way which is hard to appreciate unless you actually go there. The Yamanote line is probab

Don't forget the MD11, also a favourite of the cargo operators due to having plenty of spare thrust for hot and high ops. Although it's also a truism that high altitude locations don't generally have a lot of heavy things to

Planes are an easy target because they're so big, but the industry as a whole is hyper-focussed on efficiency. If you want to rail against emissions, don't look at the plane, look at the endless procession of single-occupancy 2 to

That's not how depth of field works. DoF, simplistically, is governed by the usable angle of light at the back of the lens - the more obtuse, the more "DoF". Larger sensors (like your 6x7) might be useful if there are limits

Their sensors are competitive, if not state of the art - a sentiment you can repeat about almost every other aspect of raw performance: AF, EVF quality, speed, etc. Their real appeal isn't in the specs but in the way everything hangs t

The X-Pro2 is a beautiful little camera with a great personality, and the whole X series is just so .. classy, both the hardware and the results. I have an older x100 and people used to come up and ask me about it! One of the reasons I love

Yeah, I was gonna say. It's sad, but one can't expect a company to keep an entire production line open just for a rapidly dwindling number of enthusiasts. They have better ways to deploy their resources. It would be arguably negli

Is fujifilm really "on the way down"? They seem pretty well diversified with some good product lines. Hell, I own one of their recent cameras. Xerox I won't argue with, but they're still not exactly on death watch. Just

I actually think your version presents a more accessible view of the true extent of the reclamations! It's a very intuitive and immediate view of the effects, rather than clicking layers on and off.

Very good post-mortem but left me with questions: 1. Raised $2.9m, 4 employees, 5 years. Let's say 2/3 of overhead was salary, which seems reasonable. So that's 500k each, or 100k/yr. This seems excessive? Were the found

Poor wording perhaps on my behalf but can you explain the difference between "preventing crime" and "ensuring order"? It sounds like the double negative and the double positive of the same thing.
