Actually my girlfriend (a Nurse) says you should cover your mouth with the inside of your elbow when you sneeze. This way the virus particles are not spread onto your hands and there is much less chance of rubbing your elbow against a door handle or some other often used public object.

Mod parent up.

My girlfriend works as a nurse at one of the most respected hospitals in NYC and she says that the Doctors and Nurses think it's all a storm in a teacup. They believe it's no worse than regular flu and is just being publicized so much for the revenue in terms of newspapers sold etc.

When I ask her what the real killers are: smoking related illnesses, heart disease due to obesity/being overweight, accidents/drunk people/cars/ etc...

Don't worry about H1N1, we have enough worry about without this bullshit.

This bug goes deeper. You could actually also glitch through any locked door in the game. However, what made this glitch a bit different was that you could only do it if you were wielding a dual-saber type weapon.

Basically the method was that you stood with your back to a door while wielding a dual saber then performed a 3 hit combo. Characters that could wield the dual saber performed a step back at the end of the combo and each time you performed it, you stepped back into the door. Apparently the collision detection didn't work in this particular scenario.

After a few steps back you were fully stuck in the door, then you could turn your character round and then walk gradually through the door.

The only hard part about doing this was acquiring a dual saber in the first place, since they were a pretty rare weapon.

I'm a WoW player, achievement points are my crack.

posting for achievement..

As someone who has experienced small cameras with large amounts of pixels and SLR's with fewer pixels, I can safely say that it's a much better idea to buy a 6MP DSLR (example Nikon D50) with a nice lens than it is to buy a super compact camera with 12MP and a tiny sensor.

In the world of photography the most important thing is the photographers eye for a good picture, the second most important thing is the lens, the third most important thing is the size of the sensor (full frame = best) and the last most important thing is the number of pixels.

I think you're miss-understanding the original article.

This article is about what is needed for average people taking average photos. Most people (99%+) will never print larger than 20x30 inches and most will never even print that big. Even with a 7MP camera with a decent lens, you can print perfectly fine at that size. I've tried myself and have several great examples.

Given that 7MP can produce great results at 20x30, why does the average person need 12MP? Especially when most of the cameras they use have tiny sensors. You may not realize this but there is no point in squeezes more pixels onto a small sensor because all it means is grainier photos and reduced low light quality. As each sensor receives fewer photons.

The only cameras where going > 12MP makes sense are full frame SLR's where there is obviously a good size sensor and lots of light can be let in. These cameras should the be paired with nice big lenses to make the most of the huge sensor.

TLDR version: Most people are taking vacation snaps and photos of their kids/dog. They don't need anything more than 7MP because they don't actually make any prints big enough to see the additional pixels.

The author isn't talking about the 1/1000000 person who's interesting in taking photos of protozoa on the wall of his fish-tank.
