  1. just as there are more mp3 players that DAT players. what’s your point, oh-sooth-sayer?
  2. basic parts of the system are screwed beyond what most, regular, internet users could imagine. i have two avatars, some people can’t amend their personal details, giving money to the site is a nightmare. duplicate posts are two a penny.
  3. it’s seems there has been a gross travesty of justice with macroneon falsely charged, tried and convicted of violating a member’s private space when all that happened was 1. macroneon posted a single comment on gbaldrich’s portfolio. the comment was, admittedly, cryptic. please bear in mind the pair were “connected” 2. the system screwed up and inserted one comment 4 times. 3. gbaldrich rightly queried this and requested remedial action. 4. glenn intervenes and deletes user macroneon. 5. recriminations fly. mebbe, next time, a bit more pm communication from all involved would be a good thing. (glenn can’t you check the logs to see if macroneons posts were four separate posts or one post repeated 4 times in rapid succession)
  4. for some reason some users don’t have permission to view their Personal Details.
  5. if you click on your name (top right of the page) you can access your Personal Details. Click on the Account drop down and select Change Username. It worked for me yesterday so hopefully it is still working :)
  6. Fair enough, Sanford but, as an aside, you should contact the admins to get them to tone down the alerts
  7. duh, how many Ls in Additionally? You’d better stick to acronyms Mark. They are easier to spell. (I wonder if Mark knows LMAO is also an acronym for Like My Ass Open)
  8. Mark, you search the archives. You can’t move on can you, which is ironic given your sentimental claptrap screen name.
  9. and if i have reframed it into to something we all agree on, why are you bringing up what it may have been about. if we all agree credit should be given to the source let’s do that.
  10. it takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail* to find the original source of a photo award, why not post a link to that? *mebbe a bit longer for some
  11. it’s not a left/right bickering, it’s about giving credit to the original source. if der eu luvin’ graun filched sites the way the daily heil did i would raise issue with that.
  12. that is so sad. you have my sympathy.
  13. Well at least we can agree on something. Let’s build on that.
  14. Anyway Mark, you are missing the point. As a photographer, wouldn’t you rather add to sites that instigate these awards (this pg of the year or that pg of the year) rather than the daily heil.
  15. So, as long as people get paid, stealing is ok. Is that what you are saying?
  16. some other numbers; the universe is 14 billion years old or, 14 x 10^9 years, a rather small number compared to the solution of certain mathematical problems using a super computer. the last time i looked, some problems took 10 x 10^276 centuries. or would do if someone had bothered to press “Start”. as David said, relative measures are everything.
  17. speaking from a maths (set theory) point of view, the numbers mentioned in cosmology aren’t that difficult to comprehend. they are big, for sure, but they are still a sequence of digits. there are “more” real numbers between (0,1) than there are objects in the universe (including the number of miles). furthermore, the number of real numbers in (0,2) is the “same” as the number in (0,1). now, that is weird. but that’s infinite sets for you. :)
  18. excellent article, although i had seen it before. it’s nice to see photography articles in the graun that promote the artists rather than the daily heil that just filches the work of other sites (and denies them click revenue)
  19. I think your photography is definitely suited to something smaller than 40mm equivalent
  20. i I’ve always struggled with your 40mm equivalent.
