..and still kill an awful lot of people by accident, or when lesser force would have been sufficient.

This does of course add weight to your argument.

Oooh, I know that feeling. I have the same approach to my back door lock. Admittedly I forgot to use it yesterday and the cats came in and out all day while I was at work, but at least I have one, and it works.

Seriously, just where the fuck do you live? Aleppo?

"defend my home". Sure. Grow some fucking balls.

The internet was doing just fine before cunts starting flooding its bandwidth with adverts. But hey, thanks for subsidising the running costs of some of the services I use.

Given the millions of people that already wear corrective spectacles, the number of people that wear sunglasses and the number of people stupid enough to think that all of them are trying to record their cock in a bathroom, I think you're safe.

If not, use the existing laws on assault, or just shoot the person that punched you. Isn't that the American way?

People ALREADY have cameras on them all the time. They can ALREADY record live video with head mounted cameras, and youtube has a fuckload of content recorded in that manner.

Stop being a paranoid cock.

Neither does a country that's so great to live in, it has rampant immigration.

The irony of course being the danger that the immigrants retain too much of their own culture and destroy the one they seek.

Which is clearly just shit.

Support a family in a house with no central heating, one TV, no computers, no internet access, a single small radio, possibly a record player, a hoover and a cooker but no microwave, no dishwasher. Dress the children in second-hand clothing. Eat out once a month. Have one car in the family, or none if you live outside of the US.

Tell me you still need two parents working? Or did you want to enjoy those productivity gains of technology?

Pogonophobia isn't predicated on a fear of crossing over. I know a girl that's so scared of beards she wont hug a man that hasn't had a shave that week.

Anyway, most women may not have full bushy beards but many do have mustaches.

Really? Fascinating. Good luck renting a car in the UK where not only will the rental company inform you that you will be charged for all bills/tickets, but that in response to any speeding notices you will be named as the offending driver.

Think you're safe because you live in another part of Europe? Welcome to the (fucked up stupid illogical and abused) European Arrest Warrant.

Living in Europe does not excuse you from obeying traffic laws.

Wtf does drink-driving have to do with bars?

You can drink alcohol outside of a bar.
You can drink alcohol in a bar without driving there or back.
You can drink in a bar without consuming alcohol.

What you can't do legally is get drunk then cause a serious danger to yourself and other road users through use of a motorised vehicle.

Is that a problem for you?

We'd gain better observance of the law from people that think, "I can have one and I'll be fine" then end up having 2-3 and justify it with "Well, I started an hour ago so the first one's worn off now".

That may not be how you do it, but sadly other people do.

Not the way I make sherry trifle.

Killing kids is sport now?

Actually, I could see how it might get serious TV ratings. See also: Battle Royale.

Doesn't Adobe allow you to convert your RAW to DNG? Will that also convert your JPGs to DNG?

Some cameras produce DNG as their RAW format, so it must count. It's just going to look a bit shitty as it came from a JPG.

(For what it's worth, I publish 100% quality JPGs. They're not as good as RAWs, but for most uses they're pretty adequate)

Silly question: How do you do multiple conversions from RAW? Is that an embedded JPG within the RAW file?

Just that Lightroom just overwrites the previous JPG for me, replacing the whole file rather than updating it. I don't use embedded JPGs though, I just publish when needed.

My RAW files on the other hand will show multiple edits on multiple days. I take the photo, I load it into Lightroom (which changes it), I apply my own changes, I may come back another day and apply other changes. I may make a virtual copy so that I can have two different photographs from the same RAW (e.g. different crops, B&W vs Colour, different contrast curvers, etc).

No idea how any of that impacts the XMP data though :)
