I tried both the D60, Sony F707 and Nikon DX, thanks to some friends
of mine. In the end, I bought the F707. Unless you crave for
interchangeable opticals (which I think you do), there's an abyss
between F707 and the rest, in terms of quality/price. D60 and
Nikon DX give you immediate high quality, and lots of professional
settings, but in the end with the F707 and good++ photoshop skills,
you can really be a pro at a very low price. |

Yeah, dpreview is pretty good. That's where I learned all about the D60, which is what I ordered on Thursday! |

Yeah, I saw this off Memepool a while back. Juggler is definitely my favorite, as he appears to have a learning disorder.

Lawyers who make deliberately misleading and/or wrong claims in order to intimidate people are NOT good. It is dishonest, period. |

Hey now.. lawyers are good people. They have a job to do. IF you wish to lather your ire upon someone, lampoon those that hired said layer(s). |

Good going Tom! Never give in to tie-choked pin-stripped judge lap dogs!
Are they just stupid or are they totaly avoiding the fact that your program doesn't explicitly subvert their fonts? Let's sue Microsoft for producing the Dev Studio software which provides a binary editor, which we could use to clear said bit!

Tom, I'm pretty sure that you are right about CT having the largest income/class disparities of all the states. There are also a couple other things in that list certainly aren't anything for us Connecticutians to brag about (the first hamburger, if that's true, and the first nuclear submarine).
So you're going to go to Connecticute for a lousy 2-day "holiday" and not for any of Winter break? Wuzzup with that? |

You know maps, like old maps, and the politics of maps, are pretty interesting. You might never guess that cartography would be a contraversial thing, but a lot of politically/nationalistically motivated bias has made its way into various common (and uncommon) maps. Like for example, have you ever seen a map of the globe that is rendered in proportion to the actual sizes and shapes of the countries and continents? It looks nothing like what you're used to seeing in classrooms and whatnot. The southern continents look a lot taller, but more than that, they are WAY bigger than the northern ones. More specifically, South America and Africa are actually 2 or 3 or 4 times larger (sorry, haven't seen a map recently to be more specific) than North America and Europe. But what most of us are used to seeing is what's called the Mercator map, which is VERY Eurocentric. It's kind of pathetic, actually, that there are some folks (I don't know, the cartography 3l33t?) feel so insecure or pompous or something that they need to look bigger than other continents that are actually way bigger. Anyway, if you're curious, the actual-sizes map is called tehe Peters Projection map. At least the flat version, and actually that's another area of debate, some folks think that no global maps should be flat because they stretch at the bottom and top ends (obviously).
And also, why is north always on top? It has been always like that in recent years, but through older times maps were oriented in all sorts of ways (again, folks claim that's Eurocentric cartography).
Even more pathetic: When evidence was discovered that human life may have originated in Egypt, there were actually people who just couldn't handle the thought that human life began in Africa and started making maps were Egypt was cut off from Africa and more a part of the Middle East (not that the Middle East is all that popular with Anglo folks).
I remember also, when I was in Puerto Rico last Spring, I went to the national museum in San Juan and the featured exhibit at the time was an exhibit of maps of Puerto Rico. There were hundreds of them, and all kinds of krazee-ass representations of the island, names for it (from misspellings to very different names), etc. Some of that was incopetence or lack of information, but often there were political or cultural reasons (the person who put together the exhibit was there and talked to me about a lot of the maps). |
