    A history of technology, edited by Singer, several volumes and many authors. It's old historiographically (from the Fifties) but very detailed and comprehensive; I have a recent It…

    You're probably thinking of a 75%, which is a questionable layout, yes. A typical TKL keyboard is spaced like a fullsize, just without the numpad cluster. Smaller layouts (even 40%…

    The rest isn't particularly nice either but I would describe it more as "suboptimal decisions" than lack of effort. They're not bad keyboards but you can get superior custom tenkey…

    Very underwhelming keyboard there, given the overall effort.

    Did they have unfettered power? This is obviously a non sequitur.

    Is the mayor expected to personally micromanage the fire deparment during fires? Criticism should be leveled at policy, not photo ops.

    Custom handwired (maybe with amoeba pcbs to help) keyboard, there are a lot of designs out there.

    Anectodally elephants do things like hiding and revaling objects for no apparent reason other than comical effect. One could build elaborate evolutionary fitness reasons for this, …

    I have not reviewed the details of the case and have no opinion on actual guilt, I was commenting on a specific line of reasoning.

    This is an abuse of statistics, because you're not considering the likelyhood that a random 15-time felon killed someone, but the likelyhood that a specific 15-time felon that was …

    No. Tiny sensor, can't use grad NDs, wide angle camera even worse, relies on intense computational methods for dynamic range that will destroy the specific light and time character…

    "Flagship" cameras besides the Sony A1 aren't all-rounders, they're historically fast and rugged big bodies for shooting sports. The Z9 was very forward looking in this category in…

    You cannot seriously think that you need 1:1 parity missile-to-shell in that paradigm. The overall result from the conflict is that the soviet doctrine underperfomed, with especial…

    It's more of a measure against competitor sellers than against farmers.

    That's also (mostly) propaganda. Farmers are very busy without having to deal with the side business of inefficiently growing their seeds and would buy anyway.

    My favourite of his pieces is Open Field Vertical Elevations, which incidentally was erected in the fields outside the residence of a collector who also recently passed, near where…

    As is was already noted, scanline-level techniques were commonly used in Amiga games. A few of the more sophisticated efforts could be argued to be technically superior to anything…

    Not commonly in my (Tuscan) experience but there is regional variation, in some areas (mountains, some northern areas) it's used; the French use a lot of it. I would avoid using it…

    A bucket of yellow paint would be a likely choice if that were the case.

    Sorry, I only saw this question now. It does get applied to raws but I think in a non-destructive way (this is also true of Nikon cameras, if you look at the untouched, non demosai…

    I would assume so, it's the same on my Sigma fp L.

    Souris seems related to the Italian synonym / pejorative sorcio (for mouse) but I haven't checked.

    An arsenal that small is already subject to virtual attrition by current ABM efforts.

    That's just taking undue credit.
