  - even 10 years ago the New York City Film office made you fill out their location permit form by typewriter. -- (edited) - Andie Nov 19, 08:24
- I actually miss them. - Spawn Nov 19, 08:21
- How old was this person? -- nm - amoxy Nov 19, 08:20 1

Huh, Reuters will no longer accept photos shot in the RAW format. They will only take JPEGs. - Ender Nov 19, 07:50 6
- Not only just JPEG but *in-camera* JPEG. Seems they do not want people to shoot in RAW and then export to JPEG either -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 07:52 5
  - Time to boost the in-camera saturation .... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 07:55 2
    - I wonder how they will enforce that. Not like all the EXIF information can't be manipulated. Are exposure and saturation adjustments really detectab - oblique Nov 19, 07:56 1
      - I've been working with Exif for one of my hobby projects ... Annoying to code, but not notably difficult -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 08:11
  - And photos taken on Saturdays must be upside down. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 07:53 1

  - *ding* *ding* *ding*. actual value of bill $864.46. I am shocked by that amount, figured it would be in the thousands. -- nm - Truman Nov 19, 07:49 11
    - That's $834.46 more than our bill for when we had a 4 day stay in a private room at the hospital for when my wife had her scheduled c-section. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 07:53 7
      - Yeah, but you were smart and scheduled the C-section a year in advance. -- nm - Green Baron Casserole Nov 19, 07:55 6

      - i'm sure the hospital bill will be in the thousands. havent gotten that yet. and technically this wasnt a bill, it was just a charge notice - Truman Nov 19, 07:54

    - Wow. Is that your job, or is it more of a community volunteering thing? -- nm - con_carne Nov 19, 07:57 4
      - Sorta both. I work at a professional theatre for young audiences during the day and co-run a semi-pro contemporary thing at night. This was our town's - emoticripple Nov 19, 08:01 3
