There's a few features missing compared to newer versions (all the content-aware tools, for example, Camera Raw is way out of date, and there's no Lightroom), and it's a little dated in that there's no x64 support, or even x86 support for OS X, but otherwise it's still a fairly powerful suite...

Bieber had a chance to show some class...

More than that, at least. I got a scholarship from the city I lived in when I was 19, was presented by the mayor. If I could get my ass in a suit for that, he certainly could find something better than a white tee-shirt for the prime minister.

Which Star Trek do you consider best?

DS9 was the better TV show, IMO, but TNG was the best Star Trek.

Vishera Review Up - Anandtech

Overall, better than I'd hoped for. Not staggeringly good, but a solid step forward, and enough to claim a solid niche. The projections are interesting, too, even if I don't trust either figure a lot. The price is pretty good as well - I might seriously look at an 8350 to replace my X6 as a...

2016: Romney's America

The cynic is me would like to point out that Romeny will likely have little impact on that.

Best DSLR $1000USD or Thereabouts

Does she want a camera to take pretty pictures, or does she want to get into photography and needs a serious tool? You could spend $1000 going either direction, but you'd end up in pretty different places.

This is the weirdest video I've ever seen on youtube. NSFW and possibly NSFH

That link was already purple...

Is 48Khz "sufficient" for audio?

Are you thinking 192kbps? That certainly makes a difference over lower bitrates - not one that every person will be able to hear or care about, but certainly one that can be noticed under the right conditions. A 192kHz sampling rate with any kind of remotely decent sampling is way, way...

Wait a second.....

Yeah, people have been adding grain to photos, including a lot of 'glamour' photos, for about as long as there was grain to add, and far before it was noise.

Have you worked harder then the POTUS?

I think there's a distinction between "career politician" and "PotUS" that needs to recognized. Some politicians really do have it pretty slack, but those aren't the ones that end up as President. I'm guessing you could count on your fingers the number of people with a more stressful job than...

Pink eye, burning piss, random joint pain..

Don't screw around with seeing a doctor? The burning piss and general shitiness sound like a UTI to me. If it were just the former, tons of water, cranberry juice, and pissing like a firehose would be the way to go, but at this point, get yourself to a doctor as soon as you can. You don't want...

PSA: cook your food, several people sick in canada

On a slightly different note, the timing on this couldn't be more ironic. Avoid raw Canadian meat, indeed.

USPS marked item as delivered

/facepalm There's probably some bigger boxes there, bigger than they typical mailbox, yes? The key will be to one of those (the ones here have tags with the matching box number). Your package will be in there.

Are DX lenses and sensors good enough to take on FX cameras?

I'd put it closer to half a stop. Comparing the two, the 5D Mk II seems to still hold a slight edge when it comes to fine, bright details (like the feathers), but the D7000 at 1600 is doing noticeably better than the 5D Mk II at 3200 in the shadows (the thread spools) - the Canon is a little...
