It really comes down to who managed to get the idea of human flight popularised, and not who achieved the first controlled flight (a difficult argument). There were a great many people...

We are in an 'interglacial' period.  This one has been prolonged, and that lends weight to AGW. There were two sources for the 'impending ice age' myth.  One was legitimate scientific inquiry into...

God does not clean up after us.  We reap the consequences of our actions. If you believe Genesis, humans were given dominion over the Earth, however -- so that does put us "in charge". That's an...

Not a "standstill", just a lesser increase than predicted, and the likely explanation is known and being...

As well as the expensive option suggested up-thread, you can buy adapters with a mechanical aperture iris built-in.  These are much less pricey, and may work fine for your needs. I have one, but...

More people upset about the comment that an 'old' DSLR can still produce comparable images to anything new.  The 'flock' don't have either body, so it is unlikely that they could comment. In my...

If you compare his policies to even G H W Bush he seems a bit more to the right. Reagan was practically a socialist by comparison. Actual progressives / leftists are hardly 'pro-Obama', but they...

Provided there is no such information being passed along, that should not be a problem.  If you are reviewing equipment and you don't know how 'profitable' it is for the "GearShop", then there...

That would basically be taking the politicians out of politics.  Just get rid of them altogether and implement democracy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athenian_democracy This suggested prohibition...

It wasn't a "dumb remark".  You can't seem to wrap your head around a change in climate producing a change in weather. Or perhaps you are just pretending authority on a subject, and are trying to...

I don't see how your post relates to what the OP was saying. The E-5 is better than the E-3, and the E-3 was better in most ways than the E-1. If Olympus release an E-7 (or some 'Pro MicroFT' body...

Why 'bing'?  Is Google too 'liberal'? You do realise that that treacherous f*ck Bill Gates is spending huge sums of his fortune and all of his time doing crazy stuff like trying to stamp out...

So you think there is such a thing as a 'left wing Zionist'?  Is that anything like a 'socialist fascist'? Those problems seemed to be brought on by Israeli double-dealing, with their...

You seem to be omitting the history of how Israel was established, in particular the land-grab and ethnic cleansing that was used to establish the 1949 border. Then there is the issue of the...

Then, because you seem to be rather stupid, I attempted to explain the relationship between weather and climate. So you are too stupid to follow as simple an analogy as I could think of? Perhaps...

"The winner" meaning what, exactly? DxO extracts information from raw data, then uses various methods to generate what it considers to be comparative numbers.  These don't necessarily mean a lot if...

DxO doesn't measure detail/contrast. Actual quote: Even in JPEG mode, all nine lines of our chart are accurately described by the E-5 up to approximately 2600Lph, which represents excellent...

You can possibly make a case for Ireland having 'fallen back' economically -- but I don't see how Russia (economically stable and growing), Korea (ditto), India (ditto), or Brazil (growing quite...

I did try to explain the difference to you. How about this: Consider 'climate' to be a bucket.  Consider the 'weather' for each day to be an amount of water.  Each day's weather varies by...

You are claiming that Israel wouldn't have accepted Ethiopian Jews in the first place if they had racial prejudices.  The fact is, they have been attempting to limit their population growth through...
