I studied photography in college in the late 80s. While we spent a lot of time in the dark room working on black and white, the professor at RIT (huge photography dept) said he only knew one colleague who developed his own color film.

While many would work on color prints on their own, because the color film was so sensitive to both temperature and time in processing through multiple color processes, and there was only one chance to get it right, it was better left to machines.

Wikipedia (of course) has a nice write-up of the Kodachrome process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-14_process

In the last 10 years they've introduced adaptive cruise control, lane management, and a dozen other computer driven upgrades to cars. All required testing and I'm sure some use newer chips. They absolutely could redesign the systems using older tech. And I'll bet you now that there is a compelling reason, they will.

Thank you for making my point. You don't distinguish between news and opinion. So, no RT is not reliable. I welcome a broad platform for opinion. Not so much for facts.

RT is known as a propaganda outlet and is state-owned by Russia. This doesn't even rate to the level of published by RT, but is a tweet from the RT editor-in-chief saying anonymous sources told her.

Not sure this should rate comment at this point.

The article reads like a press release from the organizers. Not to say that they shouldn't organize, but the numbers read like we're all idiots.

Imagine that - starting salary is below the average. So the lowest number in a series is lower than the average number in a series. Duh - unless everyone gets paid the same.

$18/hour based on a 40 hour week and no overtime is $37,440/year. Not a bad starting salary for an unskilled or low-skilled worker. Median Income for people under 25 in Alameda is $34,000.

Am I the only one suspicious of the timing? Friday before Labor Day weekend, with a Hurricane hitting Florida to boot. I can't think of a better way to bury something. I thought the FBI wasn't supposed to be partisan.

I assume when someone asks Hillary next week, the response will be, "that's old news".

While the impeachment was driven by political enemies, it was not a smear campaign, nor, as others said, was it about a blowjob.

Specifically, it was about perjury. While I'm quite happy that we did not remove a sitting president over this issue as it was unrelated to his role in government, I am also quite happy that he was later sanctioned by the Arkansas courts, paid a fine, and had his law license suspended. He also was forced to resign from the Bar of the Supreme Court in lieu of disbarment.

I live in NYC. Time Warner Sucks - I've never used them. Over the years I've used DSL, RCN Cable, and FIOS. I welcome new competitors to a thriving marketplace.

I think someone should send a letter to the DoJ requesting an investigation into the groups that wrote this letter for their conspiracy to deprive students of their civil rights.

I'm finding it hard to arrive at $5,000 in costs unless it's just a round number pulled out of a hat.

Can anyone detail how there could be $5,000 in legal fees. I can't see more than about 5-6 hours of time spent on this.

You need to go to jail for infringing my rights. I think your ideas are wrong and I am filing criminal charges against you.

You would think you would have learned with Galileo, witch trials, McCarthy hearings, but no, you're a bad person and need to be silenced. Perhaps a dose of government enforced irony will teach you about the right to free speech.

If you have a wiretap on the distributor, you don't want to reveal that when you arrest the courier. "Confidential" and "Classified" are NOT synonyms for "illegal".

Did none of you watch "The Wire"?

Knowing who is behind a protest is not "cracking down". All the article shows is intelligence gathering activities. Since some of the protesters did things like smash windows and block streets, intelligence is not unwarranted.

The problem would be lying about the scope of the problem. Daisey said he stood outside the factory for a few hours and met all these people when, in fact, he met none of them.

The fact that one worker was once exposed to a toxic substance is an accident, if it happens all the time, it is a problem.

60 Minutes reported that Foxconn had installed nets to prevent suicides by workers after 10 workers killed themselves last year. They didn't take the time to point out that the factory had 400,000 employees in it's mini-city, and that the US suicide rate is 11.8/100,000 and that China's is 22/100,000. So the suicide rate at Foxconn is lower than that of both China and the US by a significant margin.

If you lie or exaggerate about the problem it makes it seem like the problem might not really be a problem.

Same reason that I bang my head against the wall every time they upgrade. Newer isn't necessarily better. Firefox keeps introducing "features" that don't work right, use more memory, and run slower. Thunderbird broke IMAP in the new version and I cannot use it on my mail server - so happy it upgraded without asking me.
