Now that the internet can give us access to pretty much any art form, will media companies soon be extinct?

I mean, if you were so inclined, you can download movies, music, books, television shows and computer games for free. Also, a lot of people are making their own movies and music and putting them up on places like youtube and myspace, people are making their own computer games and posting them on sites such as cheekymonkey and wimp, and as for books, well, pretty much 70% of internet users have at least one blog somewhere.

I believe we have already conditioned ourselves to completely ignore advertising (doublecheck next time you read a magazine).

Where will all of this end?

I'm beginning to wonder whether it is worth the effort to shoot in RAW? I can's tell the difference and their are many disadvantages to the whole RAW post production workflow process. Any thoughts?

I have lots of black and white negatives (showing images taken from a microscope). I want to make digital copies of these images, in the past I have used a digital camera attached to a light box to take photos. However this camera is now broken and when I use our scanner to scan in the images they come out too dark.

I need a scanner which shines light through the negative and takes the image from the top. I'm not to bothered about fancy resolution or anything as I'm not making pictures just storing the images. There seems to be a large range of very confusing choices, so any suggestions of a good cheap model.

I would like to have the safety of the protective guards but also, i want to be able to get out quickly and safely, if a fire should occur. I want them to be security for me but also easy to open or get out.

I recently did a system restore to get get rid of some changes i made, the restore point was to a point before i had installed some software (namely itunes). when i tried to reinstall the software i got the message " a newer version already exists"(cos i had updated it) and it wouldnt install it. Tried to uninstall what was left of the original but got message "does not exist". This has happened with a few different things which i cant replace or remove. I dont want to use the "undo last restore" function cos tried it a few times and ended up messing up more stuff. If there are parts of programs still there how do i get rid of them completely so i can reinstall from scratch?

Politics has always been a touchy subject. Thus we have have sayings like "Two things you don't discuss, religion and politics". It cannot be denied that political rhetoric appears to be dialed up and in your face today. However, has it really become more pronounced and widespread? or Is it more due to the fact that there is more access to information (Mass media and Internet) than ever before?

While I understand giving your baby the occasional treat, I'm appalled at the number of people here who regularly give their cats rice, wheat, or corn based food, or vegetable or dairy. When was the last time any of you saw a lion on the Discovery Channel who was munching on a root?? Cats eat MEAT and nothing else...they are pure carnivore and need the Taurine in meat to live. Filling them with the rest of aforementioned garbage will only lead to long-term health problems. Am I right or what??

but am now confused...is a black hole the definition of a singularity or an example.....if not what would you catagorise the end of a cone as? As this is a point with no width, height or depth...is that not a singularity? sorry if this is dumb.....or does singularity require the presence of mass?

Camberleigh Dannyelle
or
Camberleigh Angel Dannyelle

My reason for spelling Danielle the way it is, Is because my fiance's name is Danny (Yep, that's his actual name, Not Daniel)..And I thought it was cute, and meaningful.

What do you guys think?!?!

I have just watched a news Item on the TV - It was about people who spend vast amounts of money on pet accessories, one person featured spent over £60 Thousand Pounds on her dog wardrobe.
How on earth do these people sleep at night ? There are so many good causes this money could be put to life saving use for.

I've been with my girlfriend for 5 years (since age 18) and I've always maintained that I wanted to marry her but I wanted to be financially stable abd able to support her. I could not respect myself as a man if I could not provide for my wife, so I've always said wanted to wait to get married till then. I am starting grad school and am about 2 years away from having a stable career; However my GF is getting impatient, and it is causing alot of of stress in our relationship. We are both students scraping by, should I just give and head down to the courthouse?

On your property taxes- what is a "Non-AD Valorem" charge? And what is an "Ad Valorem" charge.

I noticed that I was charged an extra three hundred dollars under "Non Ad Valorem" charge for my property taxes.

Also-what criteria do they use to determine how much of an increase is used for your taxes? I purchased my home earlier this year. I noticed a dramatic increase from what the previous owner payed and what I am going to pay. Does homeowner that bought a house in the same neighborhood a year or two before I did (when house prices were lower) pay less property taxes than I do?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
