In any case, in the future, there will be more 35mm SLRs than DSLRs in common usage

just as there are more mp3 players that DAT players. what’s your point, oh-sooth-sayer?

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.

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)

It worked for me yesterday so hopefully it is still working :)

Have a little mercy! Often, I get alerts for threads I didn't sign up for. This thread is one of them. I have to open each one to get rid of it. As with all political debates it has deteriorated into who can get in the last word in. I am declaring a draw. Please end it NOW. How is P/N ever going to trust us with a return to the popular "Off Topic" category if we can't show some adult restraint.

Fair enough, Sanford but, as an aside, you should contact the admins to get them to tone down the alerts

Additionaly

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)

The evidence is in the archives. Search “Daily Mail”

Additionaly the evidence is in the very post you just put up LMAO.....

Mark, you search the archives.

You can’t move on can you, which is ironic given your sentimental claptrap screen name.

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.

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

Norman gladly picked up on and to which Moving On then responded to resulting in yet another stupid left / right bickering

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.

The saddest part is I never signed up to watch this thread but get every alert! I have no idea what it is about.

that is so sad. you have my sympathy.

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.

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. :)

(Warning: The Guardian source)

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)

Smaller as in wider?

wider field of view. smaller than 40 mm.

Will paint dry at 2am?

It’s a tourist attraction in Texas :-)

So you saw my uploaded pictures?

not yet. i was replying to Sanford.my bad

i

I've come to appreciate the 40mm equivalent on a Fuji. After a few weeks of "not long enough/not wide enough" it seems just about perfect for everything.

I’ve always struggled with your 40mm equivalent.
