How odd then that around 50% of the human population live within 10
miles of the sea (you know: at "sea-level"), and a vanishingly small
proportion live in the highest available places.

Do you suppose you could be wrong?

Only for uneducated twits like you. We evolved as cursorial hunters:
animals who were -and still are- able to run down and kill
practically any game animal of the face of the Earth. And to do this,
one must have two things: really good lungs -which we do- and a
prolific number of sweat glands -which we also do.

A few biology classes would do you a world of good. For instance,
you'd learn that whales -which are rarely found at 18,000 feet- also
have an extremely good set of lungs.

It's not that extreme as a difference but could not occur at all were it
not for man's intelligence and abilities at hunting as well.
Further, humans have never dwelled at those altitudes, only visited
briefly (days/weeks at most). I don't know what the highest altitude
that people dwell at, but I don't believe it to be over about 10,000 ft
or thereabouts. That is about economics (food mainly).

Said intelligence is in large part due to migrations due to cyclic ice
ages which force migrations over long distances, through wild
temperature changes and through mountain passes at altitude as well.
Whatever intolerance to altitude would have been weeded out in those
migrations. Indeed today, the Indians of the Andes have much more
capacity for high altitude than most people - though it's not clear to
me if this is a genetic or developed state.

In terms of air pressure 17,000 feet is about 1/2 of the atmosphere -
really not a huge excursion in terms of getting oxygen into the blood
stream - and humans certainly do not dwell there for very long. Pilots
of light aircraft have to don oxygen masks at 11,500 ft (IIRC) as the
lower oxygen impairs brain function - but the body does not suffer as much.

So yes, your 'crack in the evolution theory' is not only small and quite
repairable, it is nothing compared to much more challenging problems
with evolution theory. Nonetheless, evolution proves to be right,
amended, corrected and improved every time new evidence is found and
theories are improved and corrected too. For that is the scientific
method. Regretfully, faith based on oral myths do not seem to get such
rigorous editing.

Now, if you're really determined that it was all created by God, then I
guess God created the heavens and the earth to 'look' like evolution
might have happened. It is a job creation program that not only employs
a wide range of scientists but also keeps the God-squad occupied as well
defending the faith.

But you might remember that over time the Catholic Church was forced to
accept that the Earth is not the center of the solar system. Ooops,
then forced to accept that the solar system is not the center of the
universe. This starts to make any creation "theory" look pretty weak.
Further when one wonders why it is only Christian fundamentalists and
Muslims that are so hung up against evolution. How come Buddhists don't
get all upset?

Point is that "creationism" seems to have an origin time that is
slightly less than the time that humans have been writing things down.
That is the root of creationism: real written history.

I'll take the simpler path which is evolution. Inexorably each
so-called "hole" in the theory is filled while ever wilder counter
claims by creationists are debunked.

A most amusing trend of late being creationists 'back interpreting'
passages in the bible to make them fit various scientific proof (ref:
Scientific American, May 2009 issue, Shermer). This is really, per
Shermer, "hindsight bias".

Not sure about that ... hiking in the Grand Canyon and a bunch of lazy
asses on mules go by (pun intended). Their mules decide to piss. It's
about 35C out under the hard sun and there is no wind.

I did not vomit by sheer force of will alone.

Potosi, Bolivia: world's highest city at 13,451'.

Interestingly, the inhabitants -whose forbears have presumably lived
in the area for eons- not only have more red blood cells than do those
of us who hail from closer to sea-level, but each individual corpuscle
can transport about half-again more oxygen as well.

That nasty "evilution" stuff at work again.

Yeah, Kodak Magic Cubes. One of the many camera types, mainly for
Instamatic, had the film that was in a cartridge. Used to have one
that was blue for tungsten film I think. Somebody actually came out
with an adaptor to put on top of a 35mm so you could use the cubes.
Might have been some 3rd party that did it. One camera store used to
have all sorts of odd stuff by mail like that.

Didn't know you could have them go off by dropping them. They were the
improvement over the small peanut flash bulbs. Damn, that's been....35
years???

Flash bulbs were fun as you couldn't carry a lot of them, came in huge
boxes, think long ship model kit type boxes, maybe 12 or 20. Surface
used to really melt after use. And they were hot. But way faster and
more stable than electronic flash. At least back then.

Used to carry pockets full of them.

Never had one explode during use, but heard they might do it. Came in
various sizes also.

Which is what the F mode was for on old PC flash connectors. no, not
personal computers.

Had IR ones for IR film also. Whoo hooo. High tech.

I agree. But the OP only believes his metering is wrong on the basis
of what he sees in the image on the screen or print. I'm saying that
what he he sees depends in part on what has happened in between the
taking of the picture and display of the image.

In any case, the point is now moot as it seems that his problems may
have been due to a camera fault.

"may", as in maybe, maybe not. It may also be a bit of
face-saving spin, as the tech might have said "well, that's
certainly possible" or some such. But even so, if the camera was
really defective, that just emphasizes Focus's immaturity, that he's

But if his personal D90 is defective and the problem isn't due to
a poor MM design, the mocking was deserved, and his early ill
considered comments show that Focus was the only one responsible for
making a fool of himself. Should we now assume that Focus will
never comment about any camera or lens that he hasn't used? I don't
think it's fair that he should so restrict himself. What the heck.
After all, owning a D90 didn't seem to be particularly beneficial.

And I don't believe that Focus should consider having a future as
a trouble shooting technician. :)

Jerry,
In that situation I would insist the police officer arrest me.
Why?
Because this idiot cop was making up his own laws on the spot. Legislatures make laws, not cops.
Forcing the issue should cause any "normal cop" (if there such a thing) to re-think his actions and decide if he wants to whine
about his actions in front of a judge & jury.

Because you work for a newspaper, and "cop arrests reporter" is always
good for a front page story. Boosts circulation.

I think the point he was making is that by insisting on being arrested, cops
trying to bluff compliance from the reporter will either have to put up or
explain to a judge. If the cop's demands are based on shaky grounds,
chances are the officer will back down.

In the case of the original incident, that wouldn't have worked, since the
officer on scene had been taking directions (bad directions) from a senior
officer. Somebody didn't know proper procedures, so the photographer
(sorry, Tony, I almost wrote "reporter") would have been arrested.

Still, I like that route since the charges would have been dropped (if ever
filed), and the guy with the bad advice would have had to take
responsibility for an even bigger mess. Episode = more care by the involved
officers at subsequent crime scenes.

Take Care,
Dudley

Depending on your graphics card, your pictures in PS can be much faster and
better looking, for example in 33% it looks pretty bad, but in 50 it's OK.
Go to:
Edit -> Prefs -> Performance

Click the box under GPU.
Restart.
If it's all OK you should now see in and out zooming in real time and all
levels sharp.

If it doesn't, get a better graphics card: it's worth it!

These systems are open loop; they
won't oscillate.

They may be inidividually open loop, but if the output of each affects
the input of the other...

No. They are open loop optically. The weight of each is not enough to effect the
accelerometer sensors that do the measuring. Being open loop means that he
computer that drives them would decide how much to move each system.

You can use a universal TV remote for your Nikon D40 -D90.
Use one that supports Sanyo and search for the right code. Bingo!

A photocopier is a scanner and printer -- they are no longer analog.
They are strictly digital. I don't know about anyone else's, but mine
does a pretty decent job on photos. In fact it has a photo mode.
