Are you saying that the ocean's heat inertia only just now started to "react" to the initial wave of warming, the one from 150 years ago?

A few simple questions, if you don't mind: This massive ocean, with its humongous heat inertia, where has it been before? If it didn't just appear out of thin air, why didn't it stop the earlier...

Don't you know that all the extra heat is going into this new phenomenon called "the ocean"?Science can only deal with observable data. Who knew the bloody thing would pop out of nowhere and mess...

You skipped out on your Marxism/Leninism studies. USSR was a socialist country, not communist. They used money and had a concept of property. You were paid according to your labours.If you didn't...

lylejk, Chato is a self-proclaimed Socialist. Socialists *love* to bleat about the virtues of sacrifice and of pitfalls of greed. In Soviet Union, you *couldn't get away* from that bleating. It was...

With its small body and 25mm wide end, TG-2 is *the* serious camera of the two. And its meter and WB systems are good enough that it doesn't need the crutch of RAW processing.
Wake me up when...

How many trucks would it take to move 1000 tons of chemical agents, if each truck carried, say, 20 tons?

Thank you for the kind words!  It's a gorgeous country.  My main challenges were breathing and keeping sweat off the lens.  Well, that and forcing myself to pull out a camera and take another shot...

An intermittent problem still makes the camera unusable. I'd suggest that you go ahead and send it in anyway. At the very least, they'll clean it and run it through some tests. If they can't...

Just tried it. If movie stabilization is turned off, the angle of view looks identical to what you get in stills.Your other question - with the Olympus, the "underwater snapshot 2" is the *only*...

I just came back from a hiking trip to the mountains, and my TG-1 really struggled with high contrast. I knew that ahead of time, and even considered getting an XF-1 - but didn't. In hindsight, it...

Have you considered a higher-quality subcompact, like a Sony RX100, in a waterproof housing?  Low light + extreme contrast are not an easy scenario to handle for a toughcam. In video mode, Olympus...

Trevor G says that EXR produces DR200 and DR400 differently: DR200 shoots a sub/frame for highlights at a half exposure, while DR400 does it at 1/4 exposure. But both of your DR200 and DR400...

The tubes are supposed to be elevated on pylons.  From what I understand, this is the main source of the savings - a lot less earth-moving is required, and much less land acquisition, compared to a...

Thank you for the info!  Yes, the XF-1 looks like an ideal subcompact for harsh light.  The X10 is gorgeous, but does not go wide enough for my liking.

For a fully-automated system, that's a lot of time.  It takes 20 seconds of 1.4 G deceleration (mild discomfort) to go from 600mph to zero.  In a true emergency, 3G deceleration (not comfortable,...

Thank you so much for the info Dave!

Thank you so much for the info, and very nice images! Looks like a very capable tool, though not exactly a magic bullet, and will probably take some learning. I read up a bit more on the fuji -...

There's no way they'd cover "all" possibilities, but it should be possible to make the system significantly safer than the normal high-speed rail. For instance, a problem with one pod (or with a...

I'm getting ready for a trip to the mountains, and my compact (Olympus TG-1) struggles in bright sunshine, when there's overwhelming contrast. I will be shooting mostly people (kids) and some...
