My kids don't even know what film is. They have never seen a film camera. And as time passes, it becomes less likely that they will ever see such a camera, at least not in use. In a museum, perhaps. The juvenile quibbling in this thread is stunning. What amuses me is people who cannot do creative thinking, but take everything literally. If one says "It's raining cats and dogs!" they will likely say "You're wrong, as usual, idiot! Those are aggregated water molecules with traces of various particulates, acids, dissolved gases, and other compounds. Have you even sent them to be analyzed? I thought not." The fact is, the film era is over in the same way the horse-and-buggy era is over. You can still buy a horse and they still make buggies, but the horse-and-buggy era is over. If any of the plethora of idiots in this thread reads this, it will set off a new round of quibbling. Fortunately, the majority of them are in my kill-file so I am unlikely to see much of it. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

It should be noted that this same individual, also argues that automated cars are safer than human driven cars: But also argues that when necessary elements of care automation are implemented, humans can do it better. I take his undocumented opinions as being worth what we pay him for them. that's a gross misrepresentation of what i've said. Not even worth answering. thereby admitting that's exactly what you did. the fact that you resort to lying about it says a lot. Your asinine statement was that there are one or two who shoot film. That is the only issue. Your statement stating that is not true. only an idiot would think that was to be taken literally. To paraphrase a statement sometimes attributed to Einstein or Feynman: "that all physical theories, their mathematical expressions apart ought to lend themselves to so simple a description 'that even a child could understand them.' -- PeterN |
