I hope I'm not the only one who thinks the wider field of view makes the limo slowdown strikingly obvious (especially when you take motion parallax into consideration).

Have you never seen the "panoramic" versions created by Ant Davison?

You're treading into shaky territory, Sandy. Jonathan was recently penalized for calling Keven's memes stupid (which they actually were). I wonder what punishment the mods have in store for you.

I think you underestimate our mods if you think it would be (too) hard for them to provide a decent selection of examples and rate them on some point scale for our edification. Otherwise, I'm sure that many of us would be happy to help with suggestions. This could become quite an educational experience, don't you think?

That doesn't seem entirely fair. Jonathan was clearly commenting on behavior and not on intelligence. Others have gotten away with worse, such as accusing fellow members of being disinformationalists, not to mention "knob polishers" and "fluffers". NB! If the moderator team would see fit to provide us with a rich selection of examples of types of insults that are either allowed or not allowed, that would be very helpful in terms of avoiding future misunderstandings.

How can you say that with a straight face? From The little JFK page on the prairie by "Vincent Van" (archived 21 Feb 2020)

The guy looks more broad-shouldered, doesn't he?

I admit that Lesar deserves a bit of hero worship. Lane and Garrison not so much.

I'd hate to see the bad guys. On a more serious note: I don't know about heroes, but I'm sure folks like Salandria, Tanenbaum, Sprague, Fensterwald, Lesar, and Simpich were/are all well-intentioned.

I see references to OO-B reports. Did I miss an OO-S designation somewhere?

Could you post a link to that document? Thank you.

This is the memo that Jim D keeps claiming you rewrote, right?

It would seem that David Healy passed away earlier in the year. He had been terminally ill with cancer for some time, I believe. David Healy Obituary 2024

Also, why do books deserve such special attention? What about blog posts? Tube videos?
