I'm sure you were scared for your privacy when Bush passed the Patriot Act...

My point of posting that was to show how much bitcoins are worth. Of course the "important aspect" is how much value they retain, how do you think I came up with 266 BTC?! And of course BTC value is on the rise, with bitcoins being harder to mine everyday, with that 21,000,000 bitcoins upward limit. If it were " 26.6 trillion deca-nano" bitcoins stolen, I'd say that right?! But no, I said 266 with the presumed decimal point after the second "6", that everyone else seemed to understand. I also said "approximately" because the value is not exact, and this number changes every second of every hour of every day, etc, etc. Your post was absolutely pointless and you shouldn't have even bothered posting it, you typing it and me replying to it is just a waste of time for the both of us, no offense...

Believe it or not that was only approximately 266 bitcoins.

So most of the people working at Walmart aren't supporting a family and are getting economic aid from their parents? Or McDonalds? Bullshit. When a company doesn't pay its workers enough they can't even afford to buy products at their own workplace, it damages local economy as well as on the big scale. Think about it. Economic growth is when people are spending money. That's what the 1920's were like. When there is a recession not many people are spending money and most are just sitting on it, waiting for something to happen. People spending makes businesses want and need to expand to make more products, thus economic growth. Not to mention the people at the top are walking away with billions when their workers can't even afford to feed their own family.

I thought the whole point of a Chromebook was a laptop that was affordable and practical...not very affordable anymore...

Don't know about you guys but Photoshop CS2 is free from Adobe.

Yeah I know. I have an XS (yes, I know it's a cheap body, I want to upgrade to the 60D) and with the kit lens the 18mm "wide" angle becomes ~28mm because of the 1.6x crop factor.

I'm pretty sure they made the 7D just for this, because it shoots 8 FPS but has a crop sensor so it would be ideal for sports, wildlife, etc. Like I said above I have the XS but my 200mm becomes 320mm with the crop factor. :)

Canon's EF lenses are designed for full frames but can also be mounted on APS-C crop sensor bodies. EF-S is meant for crop sensor bodies, therefore cannot be mounted on FF's.

The resolution part depends on the film, obviously. I know Kodak Tmax has smaller grains than "regular film" so it has higher effective resolution. "Standard" film will get you to about 24 MP if I've done my research correctly. At this point I think it boils down to the scanner if you plan to scan prints or negatives. ;)

Canon DSLR's with crop sensors have APS-C sensors which are 25.1 × 16.7 mm so you were pretty close :)

Yea...Seriously.

You are just repeating what I said. I know more people are killed with cars. I know more people are killed with hammers. Those are NOT meant to kill, they have other uses, unlike firearms.

A Car is not built so it can kill people. Firearms are. But ok, you want to compare guns to cars? Fine. Let's treat all guns just as we do cars: mandatory test before being allowed to use one, yearly registration (including fees), you'll have to get your gunner's license renewed every few years, and if you're carrying and acting in any way suspicious, a cop may give you a gun-side sobriety test. Also, you must have your gun registration and insurance (that's right, you'll need liability insurance) with you at all times.

This sounds like something the NRA would say.... "WE MUST DO ANYTHING TO KEEP ALL GUNS"

Wasn't a patent troll shown in a previous Slashdot article called "Project Paperless LLC"? And this is called Paperless 2013 project? I assume they are completely unrelated, correct?
