I always figured blue/boys pink/girls came from Gainsborough's portraits - z's replacement droid Apr 15, 13:24 7

The Parul Reiser show has the lowest premier ever for an NBC in-season sitcom -- (link) - MDH Apr 15, 13:14 7
- the only mention of this show i heard was yesterday on ST. i know nothing else about it. -- nm - Andie Apr 15, 13:24
- It "crashed" with a 1.1, yet Community is at 1.4. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 13:21 2
  - And, I think Community is for a younger (and therefore more desirable) demo than the Reiser show -- nm - con_carne Apr 15, 13:44

Shipping for a new cell phone is hard. I'm reading reviews but obviously everyone hate their phones - Guigue Apr 15, 12:55 6
- go to Future Shop. they have a cell centre that has all the phones from all the carriers, they can tell you the pros and cons of each phone / plan. -- nm - Andie Apr 15, 12:56 5
  - this is a great idea. I don't know about you, but I need to have the phone in my hand and feel it.\ -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 13:00
  - And then they can sell you the one that gives them the highest comission. (Best Buy doesn't operate on commission, allegedly) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 15, 12:57 3
    - I have two criteria: How well I can hear it, and how comfortable it is for texting. - loosilu Apr 15, 13:00
    - Unfortunately, Future Shop charges you future prices. $2,000, please. -- nm - con_carne Apr 15, 12:58
    - Of course, they're the same company. But that's not the point. #IllusionOfChoice -- nm - Beryllium Apr 15, 12:57

  - Hollywood is stronger? -- nm - TWuG Apr 15, 13:01 2
    - no, they just had a blue dog dem willing to sell out anything to try and hold onto her seat - moles Apr 15, 13:03 1
      - for the same reason they don't have dirivatives on sports (I Don't see why vegas doesn't have a media book) -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 15, 13:08

LIR: So go with the cheaper option of 300 dpi for scanning in old photo albums? - sycor Apr 15, 12:51 13
- 300 is more than fine unless you want them larger than the original dimension of the image. -- nm - lileve Apr 15, 13:06
- I would say scan at 600dpi because you never want to have to repeat this process - oblique Apr 15, 12:58 1
  - you can get a cheap PSC now for about 500 DKK (100 bucks or so) - Danedukenuuk Apr 15, 13:00
- 300 is the resolution of a laser printer way higher than your screen -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 15, 12:56 4
  - but if you need to manipulate the photos later go for a higher res -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 15, 12:57
  - so 300 dpi should be good for what she is wanting to do? It's mostly 3x5 and 5x7 pictures from like the 70s and 80s when I was a kid. -- nm - sycor Apr 15, 12:57 2
    - yes -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 15, 13:00
    - no own scanner? - Danedukenuuk Apr 15, 12:58
- to give you a comparison, web resolution is 72 dpi. newspaper resolution is typically around 200 dpi. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 12:53 4
  - IIRC magazines are 200, old heidelberg press newspapers were 60v75 and modern 120 -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 15, 13:13 3
    - we're printing at 200. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 13:15 2
      - its been a l o n g t i m e since I've been anywhere near a press or a composition room, heck I still have wax on my fingers -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 15, 13:18 1
        
        fair enough, I'm just sayin' what we use. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 13:20
Oh, and BTW, you all suck at firsting :) -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 12:51 1
- Clusterfirst. -- nm - con_carne Apr 15, 12:56
Regarding the Community ep last night. At one point in the Who's the Boss segment, they focused on one student suggesting to me that the actor must - bc/nc Apr 15, 12:51
LIR: sycor. I used digmypics with some film negatives with great success. I want to say they did 2500 dpi minimum scans -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 12:51 3
- 35mm is approx one inch long -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 15, 13:44
- she doesn't have the negatives unfortunately. -- nm - sycor Apr 15, 12:52 1
  - Yeah, they're also 300 or 600 for scanned photos -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 12:53
