    Yup, that's very possible; when I do manual color inversion I usually fill a layer with the film base color, and use the "subtract" blend mode to account for it, else I get much "c…

    I use a sous-vide circulator to get the products ~1F above the recommended 102F for the shortest possible development time (3.5min) and never had any problems! The kit I use (cines…

    Weird, c41 is an extremely standardized process. Developing times, temperatures, results etc. are very consistent. I get the exact same results by developing it at home than when I…

    I think he's referring to the video at the top which is unavailable (for me anyway, in Canada). The rest of the article however is available.

    "An appeal to authority is an argument from the fact that a person judged to be an authority affirms a proposition to the claim that the proposition is true." I don't think the per…

    Yeah I was having the same issue, however, it works in the demo when I got to the main page here: http://www.spreeder.com/

    Agreed. It seems like such a small detail, and yet, playing this web version, I realize how much I depend on it!

    One advantage is to instantly stream video files for most torrents. If someone else on put.io downloaded a given torrent before you, it's available for streaming in mp4 immediately…

    Interesting, they used to offer a 10GB plan for $5 (which I've always been on: http://d.pr/i/WDEK ) . Apparently it's not available anymore! However, I was never asked to upgrade m…

    Another interesting option is Beamer[1]. Bought it a while ago and I have nothing but good things to say about it... Just drag any video on it and stream it to your AppleTV in seco…

    Wow, a bit surprised to hear that! What kind of tricks are we talking about? I've been on their $5 plan for over a year and have never heard anything from them about upgrading!

    I just visit put.io from my iPhone or iPad and from there I stream the video and send it to the Apple TV via Airplay. There's also a couple of free 3rd party native iOS apps that l…

    put.io does have some interesting features in my opinion. One of them being that it will convert any video to mp4 which I can then stream directly to my Apple TV. They also allow f…

    Another useful tip, using only the shift key will adjust it silently.

    I may be missing something here but, where did anyone mention riding a longboard on the sidewalk? I live in a big city and when a street doesn't have a dedicated cycle lane (shared…

    I think his point was more that, when it's 7AM in PST, it's already 10AM in EST and ~3-4PM in Europe... that makes it hard for PST to "get the early jump" considering everyone else…

    It's also a popular French name (I know 2 Loics personally...) No idea why this particular user uses this username but, it might not be for the reasons you think...

    I immediately thought of that story too! I still think it was an interesting read even after knowing it was part hoax! Here's the link for those (few?) who haven't read it yet: htt…

    For those on OS X, there is a very nice application to do just that, it's called Vitamin R[1]. It works by "Time slice"... Add a new time slice (let's say 30 minutes) write your go…

    That was so much more interesting than I anticipated! Never was a big Pac-Man fan, and I guess I always assumed that the ghosts were just aiming directly for Pac-Man! To learn that…
