Shutter Speed

The shutter is like a curtain that opens and closes to allow the sensor to be exposed to light for a specific amount of time (shutter speed). Shutter speeds may range from a few seconds to a fraction of a second. Shutter speeds faster than a second are usually displayed as fractions of a second such as 1/15 or 1/2000. Like in the case of f-stops, shutter speeds are arranged in a similar scale so that one step in the scale corresponds to that in the f-scale. For instance, a shutter speed scale with one-third steps would look something like ¼, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/13, 1/15, 1/20 and so on. Note that here the shutter halves every third step.

Subjectivism and Concerns

2008-10-13T16:52:00.000-07:00

Subjective accounts of reasons for action claim that what makes it the case that consideration C provides P a reason to O is the existence of certain contingent features of agency, namely concerns, of P. It is the contours of a person’s contingent concerns that makes it the case that she does or does not have a reason to do something.1 The subjectivist claims that ideal deliberation, absent input from an agent’s contingent concerns, does not yield determinate conclusions about what the agent has reason to do. Thus, for example, the fact that I happen to like Dairy Queen swirl cones dipped in chocolate might give me a reason to stop there on my way home from work on such an account. But if I did not happen to like that, I would not have such a reason. The notion of concerns at work here is important to the subjectivist account but difficult to satisfactorily analyze. I will not have enough to say about such states here. The most popular neo-Humean understanding of desires is based on the notion of direction of fit. Intuitively the idea is that beliefs aim to track the world (and so tend to go out of existence when one is confronted with an appearance to the effect that the world is not as one believes) whereas desires aim not to track the world but to impose themselves upon the world (such that they do not similarly tend to go out of existence in the face of such appearances). I think the direction of fit understanding of desires is unsuccessful, yet I lack a better account.2 Essential to the subjectivist’s understanding of concerns (wants, preferences, desires, etc.) is that such states are not truthassessable and not best thought of as accurate or inaccurate responses to the value of options.3 To take a simple example, I can prefer chocolate ice cream to vanilla or have the reverse preference, without making any mistake about either flavor or their respective value. In the case of belief it is typically thought that the truth provides standards that belief should aim for (some say that only if a state aims at truth is it a belief). The subjectivist denies that there is any comparable standard for desire such that desires would be correct or accurate if they matched up with that standard. As the subjectivist sees it, the value of the various options for an agent is determined by that agent’s informed concerns; not already there to guide such concerns. Putting it this way combines the two central subjectivist theses. The first is that there are no value facts that should (or could) serve as standards for desire. The second is that, suitably dressed up, desires can have (or be the only source of) practical normative authority.

Mounting Partitions in Linux

2008-10-11T02:41:00.000-07:00

By now you have a dual boot system, and your windows partitions are still alive. You will have images, documents or videos that you might want to access from Linux. However, when you try to look for the windows partition, you will not find it! Whatever happened to it, you might ask. Well, you might first “mount” those partitions onto the Linux filesystem. In the computer world, mounting means making accessible to the system a filesystem(or any data0. you might ask, while windows automatically shows you all partitions, why doesn’t Linux?

Basically, the way Windows and Linux deal with files and partitions is different. Windows recognizes and clearly demarcates partitions at boot. Linux works differently: unless you mount a partition or a device, the system does now know of the existence of that partition or device. You cannot make files of one partition appear as part of another. This layout, called a unified filesystem, allows files from one drive to appear as part of another. Hence you need to mount the partition you wish to access, to a mount point. A mount point is the directory to which the partition appears in the mount point.

Changing the Password - Linux

2008-10-08T14:48:00.000-07:00

In the terminal window to change your password, just type in “passwd newpassword” where “newpassword” is the password you want to use. You will then need to enter you r old password.

If you logged in as the root, type “passwd ”, where “username” is the user name for which you wish the change the password. You will not be promoted to enter the old password, nor will it be echoed(displayed) to you.

To change the password in the GUI, you will need to do some trial and error and find out where this command in placed. This ofcourse, varies from flavour to flavour, and with the desktop environment. So, have fun exploring the GUI. But the fastest way to do it is above.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

2008-10-06T14:22:00.000-07:00

The infamous MSG was the first excitotoxin to be unleashed on the public. Most of us know about the ‘Chinese Restaurant Syndrome’, which is one instance of an excitotoxin causing almost immediate symptoms. A lady who attended Hippocrates Health Centre told me that a tiny amount of MSG accidentally ingested in a restaurant caused her to vomit for 24 hours! Some have seen friends become deathly ill after a Chinese meal, and when doctors were called in they warned them never to consume MSG again. Easier said than done, if you eat anything out of a packet, can or bottle. And reading labels is not a guarantee of safety, because the US government permits manufacturers to omit this unpopular additive from their labels unless the product contains 100% MSG! And, of course, most countries import a great deal of manufactured food from the US. Further, any manufactured food you buy which lists many ingredients will almost certainly contain MSG, even though it is not itself listed. For example, a soup can which lists tomatoes as one of the ingredients does not have to disclose what is in those tomatoes. They could contain something to which you are allergic, and you would find out the hard way.

Linux on a Power PC

2008-10-03T17:20:00.000-07:00

Linux can be comfortably run on an Apple Mac, too. The scalability of Linux means that it can be used on Macs that are too old for OS x but still offer most of the nice features of the Mac OS. Linux for power pc including the 64-bit version called the G5, is available from all major distributions. Most of the distributors that we have covered also have a power pc version look for a version of their Linux for PPC or Power Pc on their site.
Many companies have found that they are able to make better use of older Mac models such as the RS/6000 or pSeries by running Linux on them and having more current hardware. Linux and PPC make for a good combination, given Linux’s stability and inherent server features. The Mac can support multiple processors and very large memory as compared to the Intel architecture.

The Menu Bar - Google SketchUp

2008-10-02T21:35:00.000-07:00

The Google SketchUp interface follows the pattern of the regular Windows Menu Bar with the following submenus and options:

File:
Apart from standard file options such as New, Open, Save, Save As and Exit, the File Menu also offers Import and Export options. These allow you to acquire files designed using other software and use Google SketchUp files in other programs, respectively.

Import: The import option allows you to accept not just standard image formats (JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, etc.) but also files created in other 3D modeling software like AutoCAD and 3DsMAX.

Export: Contains a variety of options to produce two and three dimensional images from your Google SketchUp graphic for use in external programs.

Edit: As any designer would tell you, perhaps the most useful tool in any Edit Menu is the Undo button. Other standard
options include Redo, the famous trinity of Cut, Copy and Paste, a Paste Variation (paste in place) and Delete. The Hide option, as the name suggests, allows you to conceal objects with Unhide to complement it. Other editing options are the Lock Object, Group Object, and Intersect with model, the detailed usage of which will be explained at a later stage. This play with objects is possibly one of the most interesting aspects of Google SketchUp.

View: The Ability to enable or disable the view of basic structural outlines like axes, grids, guidelines and sectional cuts and planes, can be toggled via this menu. Other options like the visual effects and styles of edges and surfaces can also be modified. There are options for animation and for visual effects such as shadow and fog. Through this menu, you can select the toolbar you wish to view and customize the workspace to your personal preferences.

Updating Software in Linux

2008-09-26T09:24:00.000-07:00

Linux is an operating system that is in the constant process of updates and patches. Manually updating all machines can be a daunting task for a system administrator. Thankfully the user or administrator need not manually check for and download updates. Linux has a provision of automatically updating selective or all packages using what are called package managers. The package managers have a database of the software installed, their version, the internet address from where an update can be obtained, etc. rpm-based Linux flavours generally use the yum package manger while the Debian-based ones use aptget. These are basically command-line means of updating-it involves issuing a single command and configuring the config file if need be. There are GUI front ends to achieve the same. But we will just stick to the basic command line way to getting the update task done. The GUI is something you can figure out by yourself, so as usual we ll leave if for you to explore and have fun.

Boot Loader

2008-09-24T11:03:00.000-07:00

The booting process of an operating system is very important because it differentiates between a functioning and a malfunctioning system. Many home users tend use Linux as the secondary operating system and dual boot it with Windows as their primary operating system. The use if windows as a primary OS is because of the lack of information on Linux, and also because many games and software are not available for Linux; for example: Microsoft Office.

As the administrator of your system have the power make changes to the boot process. You can change the services that start at boot, alter the settings of the boot loader, as well as use other powerful tools such as the single user mode.

Debian GNU/LINUX

2008-09-23T14:18:00.000-07:00

This is a Linux flavour compiled and distributed by The Debain Project, started by lan Murdock in 1993. in the name “Debian”, “DEB” comes from his wife Debra, and “IAN” from his own name. The Debian project is an association of individuals who work towards creating and updating the Debian operating system. At present, there are no paid versions odf debian, unlike red hat or SUSE. Debian is purely a developer/enthusiast oriented distribution. A lot of the contributors to debian are from academia. According to debian, there are 15,490 free packages available for their OS! Debian uses its own format of packaging software called dpkg. This is dofferent from the rpm (red hat package manager) used by red hat and SUSE.

Starting from its inception in 1993, a major chunk of the basic tools that make up debian come from the GNU project. Hence the name Debian GNU/Linux. Currently Debian is in release 3.1 with its last update being 20th December 2007. work is on to provide Debian for kernels other than Linux as well.

File Ownership and Permissions - Linux

2008-09-22T19:49:00.000-07:00

We will tire of telling you that many of the advantage of Linux are a result of its springing from a strong multi-user operating system. In a multi-user system, it is important to ensure that the file of one user cannot be accessed by another user unless the latter is permitted to access those files. This gives idea of file ownership. The user who creates a file is, by default, the owner of that file. He can do what ever he wishes to do to his file, such as editing and deleting. A user group can also own a file, if a member of the group has created the file. The user group will have the same permissions as that of the file creator. This is an important feature, because there can be instances where a group of users are working on a project and files created by one user have to be accessible and editable by others in the group. Besides the owner of the file and his user group, other users can be granted privileges that will enable them to work on the files created by the owner.

Program, Optimize thyself

AMD proposes psychic extensions for CPUs

AMD is fl oating a set of new instructions that could make it easier for programs to tune themselves. Called Lightweight Profi ling (LWP), the new instructions would become part of AMD’s AMD64 instruction set. LWP would add little overhead yet give applications direct feedback from the CPU on how a process for the application is running. If the process is generating excessive cache misses, branch mispredictions, or thread locks, the app—with real-time feedback from the CPU—would, in theory, correct the problem and run faster. LWP could help programmers in the daunting task of optimizing for the increasing number of execution cores in PCs. That number is predicted to reach from eight to 16 within a year or two. AMD hasn’t said when LWP will be integrated into its CPUs, but it will apparently not be available in upcoming quad-core Opteron and Phenom FX CPUs.

3D Modelling With Blend

2008-09-21T13:03:00.000-07:00

Blend is a free, open source 3D modelling application. There are many modelling tools such as polygons, curves, vector fonts, and more. These are basic shapes from which 3D models are created. On these shapes, you can choose vertices, edges or faces to edit. Once this is done, you can animate your shapes with various tools and options. In fact, there are so many things to do on blend that you will initially be overwhelmed. It does take a few long sessions to know that what is what in Blend. But with a little patience, you can create your own works of art and animation!

Blend can also create interactive 3D games with transparencies and reflections! There is a graphical editor for defining interactive behaviour without the need for programming it. Games can be played back during editing without pre-processing or compiling, thus saving a lot of time in the design process. Files are saved in the .blend forma, which supports compression, digital signatures, encryption, and forward/backward compatibility.

Restoring Deleted Files - Vista ultimate

2008-09-20T07:09:00.000-07:00

It's monday and you want to take presentations that you have created over the weekend to office. So out comes your USB sitck. Ans as luck would have it, you may have mistakenly overwritten the current version with an old one. So does taht mean all your efforts are wasted?

Don’t panic. You can access earlier versions of files with the help of Snapshots. The prerequisite for this: The ‘System Restore’ for the hard disk must be activated. To do so, click ‘Start > Run > Control Panel‘ and click on ‘Performance and Maintenance’ and then ‘System’. In the classic view of the Control Panel, you can reach this window directly by double-clicking on ‘System’. On the left side of the window, select ‘System Restore’. Windows then requests you to select an account with administrator rights and enter the right password. Then check-mark the desired hard disks in the ‘Automatic Restore points’ field for system restore and confirm with ‘OK’. Windows archives old file version as soon as a system restore point is set; normally, once every day.

Unfortunately, not even change in a file leads to a snapshot being created immediately. The function therefore changes, which is another reason for backing up your own files regularly, and accessing Snapshots only in case of an emergency. For this, right click on the file in ‘Windows Explorer’, select ‘Properties’ in the context menu and activate the ‘Previous version’ tab. The ‘File Versions’ list provides an overview of all available versions. Mark the desired entry and click on ‘Open’. In order to save a copy of the marked version in the file system, click on ‘Copy’. With ‘Restore’, you make the marked copy current and thus overwrite the previous one.

Everyone Could Make A Difference

Microwave Ovens

2008-09-18T08:32:00.000-07:00

On the right, Dr Mercola gives ten very good reasons for discarding this ‘essential’ kitchen aid. Perhaps a bit drastic for some – but, you have been warned! There is a simple solution to this problem; eat mostly raw, and when you must cook, use an oldfashioned stove. If you decide you just can’t remove your microwave, at least be sure to disconnect it, because the darn things leak radiation, even when not in use. Your health will improve, as microwaved food causes cancertype effects in the blood, lowers haemoglobin values, causes white blood cells to decrease and leads to serious degeneration of the body.

Electricity Meter Boxes

2008-09-17T08:18:00.000-07:00

Take care that any meter boxes installed on an exterior wall of your home are well away from where your family lives and sleeps. No matter how well built, your house walls will not stop the radiation. Exposure, especially for young people, is dangerous, sometimes fatal. There have been many instances of children dying from leukemia from such exposure. These boxes can create electro-stress 50 times above normal tolerance. In Australia, Carol Fisher, from Tesla’s, will make house calls to check for danger areas

Maruti 800

2008-09-17T02:50:00.000-07:00

It’s cheap. Doesn’t break down often and doesn’t drink much.

Ancient? Yes. Crude? Somewhat. But, amazingly cheap, performs quite well and has space for four. Refinement levels aren’t very high but the 796cc three-cylinder engine has proven to be efficient, reliable and reasonable in our stop-start city traffic, albeit with high dosage vibrations. Interestingly, it drives reasonably well, and it’s easy to punt through traffic, even without power steering. Brakes could be better. You’ll realize this once you grow out to something else.

Coming to space… actually, it’s quite ok, if you don’t get too ambitious. Two in front, two slim, bendy people in the back. What do you expect about build quality? It hangs well together, doesn’t break down. Rattles a fair bit over the kilometers, but it’s not too bad. Don’t sit on the bonnet.

The Other Side

2008-09-16T12:08:00.000-07:00

It’s not like you must always think about what I’m going to say in the following lines – but if you had even thought about it once – you could have made a BIG difference. There are many places in this world where a lot of people suffer a lot and this is indeed a very big problem which every government should take into consideration and must be provided with enough attention. Having a decent life, that is having a shelter, food to eat, clothes to wear, and money to spend are all essential in every person’s life. Unfortunately not everyone in this world is provided with those things. And I'm just so lucky that my parents have given me a good life to live.
If one person thinks broadly, he/she can see that poverty still persist from our system and it is really obvious that there are still unfortunate people suffering because of it. Some of the evident example of these is those homeless children and families as well as those parents that remain to be unemployed, and those victims of calamities which then took away everything they have. Sadly these people are not then able to attain a decent life that everyone was supposed to deserve.
The everyday news broadcasted on the television and radio makes us all aware that poverty is a continuous process and it is likely to be a never ending process. We should not actually blame this all to our government because they also need our help and cooperation to solve these kinds of problems.
Good thing there are Car Donations charitable institutions like Carangel.com that stood and served consistent in order to provide a continuous social service for those less fortunate. Together with their dedicated donors they continuously help those people that really need help. Anyone is very much welcome for a voluntary support for all the projects Carangel.com has. You can actually choose to Donate Car and such would be a very big help at that. Surely those people that would benefit from your goodness and kindness would highly appreciate it. I'm happy that I chose to Donate My Car at carangel.com and not anywhere else. The good thing about this is that part of the proceeds Carangel.com can get will be supported for kids programs where in they give away free children's DVDs for them to learn and get good values.
