He says he has no fear about his reputation as a lawyer. - hello? The guy is a lawyer. He's a partner at von Gravenreuth. He works in trademark law. What kind of reputation could he possibly still lose? Maybe someone can explain that to me, I'm really curious about it ...
But whether von Gravenreuth still remembers his own cases that he conducted, in which he wanted to hold everyone liable for any alleged form of trademark infringement? Now suddenly of course nobody is responsible for the actions of clients. Such a remarkable change of heart, especially now that he's indirectly affected himself ...

What I still don't like: titles can't be distinguished whether they link or not. But I have no idea how to do that cleverly - with colors? Or with icons? I'm just not sure about it yet.
That's fine too, it was just vaporware anyway. Or rather, just another label for Suse.

The idea is basically good - but then there should be more than this: Description: HTTP 404.

So the idea is already pretty cool: take multiple images with different sharpness and then combine them afterwards in software so that the sharp areas come together and thereby improve the overall sharpness of the image. However, 500 dollars is a bit steep, a decent tripod and a small aperture are significantly cheaper
Yeah. Great. Der Spiegel has an RSS feed. In other words: a . Wow. I'm really thrilled. And of course just one for the headlines. No topic-specific RSS feeds, just one central one for headlines. Brilliant idea. Especially that update interval of 5 minutes. Doesn't sound like they really understood what the point of RSS is. So, dear Spiegel Online editorial team, if you really want to do something innovative, then offer automatically generated RSS feeds for each article category. So people can get their selections the way they want them - not everyone wants to read everything from you.
And as another point, finally offer comment functions on articles, or at least direct reply links, so you can refer to a specific article and the author of that article is addressed directly. Other outlets can do it too...
If you really want to be smart about it, you'd also offer trackbacks. But that's probably asking too much.

Furthermore, he conveniently overlooked the fact that JPG only offers 8 bits per color channel, whereas RAW typically offers 10 or 12 bits per color channel - which preserves significantly more detail and offers higher dynamic range. Plus, you can then make far more adjustments to this data that don't destructively affect the information in the image.
But of course he only makes perfect images on the first shot and therefore doesn't need any later post-processing. However, the fact that even simple shrinking or enlarging of a JPG means decompression of a lossy compressed image combined with equally lossy recompression, with bicubic interpolation for the shrinking in between - he conveniently ignores that too.
Anyone who uses JPG directly in the camera instead of RAW has a fundamental problem: they're essentially throwing away their negatives and keeping only the first print, from which they then make further prints. No professional photographer would be so foolish with analog media, but apparently there are always people who think the basics of value preservation (which is what a professional's business is built on) don't apply to digital technology...
To his criticisms: my DCS 520 does 3.5 images per second. And that with RAW formats - it primarily only does RAW formats. In a burst it can handle up to 12 images. Newer cameras have similar numbers with significantly higher pixel counts (the DCS 520 only has 2 megapixels). JPG and standard TIFF can be produced in the background if needed - while the camera isn't currently photographing, it converts images. This way you have ready-to-send images available and still have the digital negative available.
As for file size: the negatives are under 2 MB, which isn't a problem with today's memory cards. The same applies to other camera systems with larger sensors; RAW formats are typically in the MB range roughly equal to their megapixel count, at most twice their megapixel count.
The inconvenience of conversion is also relative: an installed Photoshop plugin and I can open the negatives directly if needed. Then I can apply Photoshop's normal batch methods to them. Or I can convert the files using Photo Desk software, which only takes a few keystrokes. If he has to wait for conversion before continuing to photograph, that says less about the RAW format than about his complete inability to build simple automation scripts. And the latter is rather embarrassing for a so-called professional - after all, workflow efficiency is supposedly the alpha and omega of a professional, so you'd expect basic engagement with your tools. And as for the image content being the same in RAW and JPG, that guy is just blind. I deal with JPG frequently enough (for example, my image albums on http://leicaesk.de/ dynamically produce JPG from the original PNG files), the artifacts are clearly visible when you look at fine structures. A good example is ((deleted image, sorry, shut down the server it was on in 2007)) - just go to the largest view and look at the horizon where the wind turbines are. The image was captured directly as JPG; my Olympus E-100RS is just too slow when I shoot TIFFs and the camera can't do RAW. The artifacts around the wind turbines are clearly visible as streaks or shadows. With multiple recompression, the effects get larger. In RAW you have clearly defined contours there without the streaks.
Sure, RAW is proprietary format that needs special software to handle. Of course you should back up standard format files alongside your RAW files - for information preservation reasons TIFF is suitable, since you can use 16 bits per color channel there and color profiles find sensible use. The file size isn't unproblematic there, but the alternative would be loss of information you can never reconstruct again (except from the original negative).
What's certainly true is the speed of some RAW solutions: but that's a software problem. If it's too poor, you should simply consider whether this camera combined with that software is simply the wrong tool.
So my conclusion would be different: shoot RAW whenever possible. Choose camera system and software based on how efficiently this workflow is implemented and how meaningfully the features can be used. Test camera and software as a unit - especially if you want to make money with the tool, the whole chain should work. Petteri Sulonen is of the same opinion; he develops this further and gives good hints.
Oh yes, an investigative committee. Today it only serves self-promotion and election campaigns...

Another idiotic patent - 1985 technical ideas are certainly super relevant for Internet solutions. Besides, it's such a brilliantly genius idea to download data over long distances onto removable data carriers. It's so genius that it has to be patented.

Well, it is indeed the task of the Federal Employment Agency to find work for job seekers, but this part is exaggerated: Almost all renowned consultants have received an assignment in Nuremberg. Gerster will certainly come up with great reasons again why the lies were completely fine. Probably such things, just like lavishly equipped executive floors, are part of the good practice of the business world, without which one apparently cannot discuss on equal terms with managers. That's probably even true when you look at the rip-off at Mannesmann. They're all just liars and cheaters, so they're looking for their own kind at the Federal Employment Agency too...
I wonder if Clement will finally feel properly foolish now, having just demonstratively stood up for Gerster?

Ouch! The DCS Pro Back for medium format was an absolute killer piece, I looked at it with stars in my eyes at Photokina on a Contax 645. And now it's being discontinued. Really a shame. The flexibility of modern medium format systems like the Hasselblad H1, the Contax 645, or the Mamiya 645 AF is simply greater than with 35mm SLRs.

And what happens in Iowa? In the first round of the primaries, two people make the race who couldn't care less about the Internet. Could one perhaps draw the conclusion from this that all those Internet weblog importance giants see themselves as a bit too important and gigantic?

There is no reason to question Gerster's work, according to Clement. An internal audit report is still to be presented today. - So retroactive creation of files to fabricate evidence is no longer considered grounds for questioning the work of a government agency head? In any case, that answers my question about whether Clement now feels stupid for his support of Gerster - apparently not stupid enough yet, so he continues.

Furthermore, the matter has no fundamental significance - the users of the domain will probably see it differently. After all, they have effectively been deprived of their home on the web. But as long as judges believe they don't need to deal with the matter, there will continue to be such absurd rulings. Sure, no one will take it to the constitutional court over a domain, so the Oldenburg Regional Court gets away with such a fundamentally flawed ruling.

That's nice indeed. A Mars journal from ESA. Of course it would be nice if they had an RSS feed too. But at least there are some colorful pictures of Mars instead of complaining about the lost waffle iron.
What Strato did is - as you would expect from Strato - rarely stupid. Terminating a contract before the domains have been moved is recklessly careless. Especially since you know what kind of outfit NSI is. Nevertheless, of course the behavior of NSI - as you would expect from NSI - is outrageous and in my view unacceptable. The company should be shut down - their business practices happily operate in the triangle of spam, extortion, and fraud.

As usual, not much good can be said about SCO's statements. Not only has SCO apparently badly missed deadlines (started too late, caught off guard by Christmas - if they have such problems with the calendar, I'm hardly surprised =), they also still haven't provided explicit information about copies, but only mentioned general subsystems. And they're demanding 90 more days after IBM gave them even more versions of AIX and Dynix.
All of this stinks of stalling tactics, especially since SCO has started building an international distribution network for their hot air. The fact that they're demanding truckloads of source code versions and documentation also points to these stalling tactics - SCO couldn't possibly work through these mountains of information in 90 days.
I'm curious to see what IBM gets out of this in court and how the court will react. Maybe SCO will simply be thrown out of court, since according to some opinions on Groklaw, what SCO is delivering in no way meets the court's demands.
Compared to SCO, the Softram executives of those days were solid businesspeople who at least had a somewhat realistic business plan.

For people with root servers running Red Hat or Suse, this might be quite useful: the linked script converts a machine running Suse or Red Hat to Debian while the system is running, and even transfers some configuration settings. However, it's still beta, so the application could also leave behind a useless pile of rubble - you probably shouldn't apply it to a fully configured system that's already in operation. It's better to use it with a still-virgin configuration.
