Is this an attempt at APL?

"The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."— Perl

Anyone have an APL keyboard lying around?

I am among us in this forum and am seriously interested. I would like a second camera to complement my a7Rv (I have all the lenses I want and need). I am carefully reading and watching reviews while I consider if it will be worth it (to me). I am leaning towards buying it.

... but what I really want is an a9R with a 50mp global sensor.

Stated better than I would. The universe of photography pontifications is rife with statements that begin:

• Only real cameras...
• A real photographer would never...
• You can't do...

Understood, you are not a member of the Arbiters Of Photography Committee but you feel you know them well enough to speak on their behalf. Can you provide a link to their definitions, or to their membership signup? I would like to become a member so I can define things.

Really?

I was not aware the Arbiters Of Photography Committee had issued such a ruling. Are you a member? Do you know how I could join? Maybe I'll just start my own committee and issue my own decrees on the true definition of "a photograph".

If was running a web server and the monitoring software you mention, I suspect you are correct and a beefier CPU would make sense. I have another FreeBSD box with much beefier specs that I use as a media server (SAMBA, AFS, NFS, web server, MySQL, etc, etc). I am thinking about using SNMP to do more intensive monitoring of the gateway box so the CPU hit will be mostly on the media server.

I am using a similar box and it works great. I am running FreeBSD and I use powerd to keep the CPU throttled down and thus reduce the power consumption. Mine has a quad core Atom chip so the wattage is already pretty low. Maybe not as low as an ARM or something like that but I have plenty of horsepower to spare for named, dhcpd, ntpd, and any number of live monitors running on the screen for my entertainment.

Since 1997 I have rolled my own with FreeBSD. The first was an old desktop (Dell? Gateway?) with two ethernet cards. One for the ISDN "modem" (maybe it was called a CSU/DSU?), the other for my internal network. Next one had a ISA CSU/DSU for a T1. My current one is one of those tiny PCs with no moving parts and 4x1G ethernet ports, so I can have (effectively) distinct networks for WiFi and wired.

I have not (yet) built my own cable modem but I still consider what I have to be a "roll your own router".

My high school teacher said I could do my CS projects in Turbo Pascal rather than have to use the school's CP/M system (UCSD p-code for those who remember). My parents agreed to buy it for me. The convenience realized cannot be described in a /. post.

A few years later, my college CS professor said I could do my CS projects on Turbo C rather than use the school's Lisas. As with Turbo Pascal, the ability to quickly iterate through code corrections without swapping floppies (separate compiler and linker) is a convenience enhancement that is difficult to properly describe.

The link in the first sentence appear to be for a different article, about a different subject.

Yes, I know. It still seems kind of wrong, from a "definition of west" point of view. Compare to West Virginia or Western Australia, which are both west of something with a similar name.

Using the term "west" to describe an Antarctic location seems so... wrong?

That was straight out of the Haaretz article, and I agree that it is (most likely) wrong. I mean, "digital" is correct in a sense... but still wrong. Right?
