Apparently I misunderstood how it works.
Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, but residents of Puerto Rico, Guam
and the U.S. Virgin Islands do not vote in the national elections
unless
they're registered to vote in one of the states or in DC, in which case
they should be able to vote an absentee ballot for the district in
which
they're registered if they happen to be back in Puerto Rico.
Persons born in Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are U.S.
Citizens.
Persons born in the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa are
U.S. Nationals, but are not U.S. Citizens. U.S. Nationals may reside
and
work in the United States. They don't have to have a green card or work
permit. They are not prohibited by federal law from voting in national
elections, but no state permits them to do so.
U.S. Nationals may apply for citizenship under the same rules as
resident aliens.
DC doesn't get representation in Congress, but they do have 3
electors; the number they would be entitled to IF DC was a state.
I don't know where you got that last one from but I believe it's
incorrect. DC has no electors, and cannot, the number of electors is
defined in the constitution as the number of senators plus the number of
congressmen, since DC has neither then DC has no electors. For DC to be
granted electors without representation in Congress would require a
constitutional amendment, which is not likely to happen.
Amendment 23 - Presidential Vote for District of Columbia
1. The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States
shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct: A number of
electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of
Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be
entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous
State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they
shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice
President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the
District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of
amendment.
2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation.
Ratified 29 Mar 1961
Aparently I was wrong, however I happen to think this amendment is also
wrong, it violates one of the rationals for having a federal district.
Perhaps that's why I'd prefer to forget it. Too bad amendments to the
constitution can't be declared unconstitutional.

Re: Cleaning Sensors
Lock the mirror open, lay the camera on the floor, and urinate on the sensor. I've never heard of a single instance where this failed. (Don't kill me Bill) I use canned air. It's pretty fast so unless your battery is nearly dead you should be able to pull it off before the mirror comes back. Obviously, don't get the tube so close to the sensor that the cryogenic liquid actually collects on the surface of the sensor. Also, if something were to get in there larger than dust you could blow it around hard enough to nick the sensor. Also be sure you don't accidently grab the WD-40.

If you aren't a professional photographer, you can forget about customer service from Leica. You don't exist. The second M8 body would not recognize any of the memory cards I used. Leica blamed the memory cards and refused to repair or replace the camera. I bought every different brand of memory card listed as compatible on Leica's site, and all gave me a no memory card error until I removed the battery, waited a few minutes, and then reinserted the battery (which apparently rebooted the camera). I had to repeat this every time I wanted to shoot a frame. Once the camera was turned off or turned itself off, the no memory card error reappeared. Until a new firmware upgrade appeared last year, the M8 just sat in a drawer. The firmware upgrade seems to have fixed the memory card problem. Pro photographers and photographers wealthy enough to afford an attorney get good service from Leica USA. Grunts like myself (a teacher) aren't given the time of day. I have refrained from mentioning my problems on the LUG except when a pro photographer posts a message saying that Leica customer service is absolutely the best. I then mention the problems I had and get my ass flamed as a heretic. I finally unsubscribed from the LUG as it became less and less a forum about photography. The die hard photojournalist types on the LUG now post incessant photos of their dog, their flowers, or buildings. Leica film rangefinders are great, and reliable. Leica doesn't seem to know anything whatsoever about digital cameras. If you want a digital camera with a Leica lens, buy a Panasonic! They are great!

Of course this leads to 3) watch your bad refund % grow as word gets around that it is possible to get away with this. True stories: I was putting a cart of returned 16' deck boards back on the rack. There were a lot of them, probably close to 60. Below the second layer of new boards, the rest were used boards, complete with years of weathering and two screw holes every 16 inches. I had a 12' 2x4 come back on a cart. Except it was no longer 12', it was closer to 11'. And it had a screw sticking out of it. The only justice in this one was that it was an ACQ treated board, and the screw was on coated for ACQ, so probably by now their deck has fallen apart. Yesterday, a return cart of teleposts.

Re: OT - Abobe Woes
I'll speak tio what I know, i.e., my personal preferences. I have a
MacBook and a Dell laptop. The Mac is a nice computer but I'm not
particularly attached to it. I also use my Blackberry/iPod Touch to
access the Internet for email, weather, etc. since they are faster
than the computer unless I leave the computer on all the time. I can
easily see me getting a Windows based desktop system because they are
nice to work on for photos, documents, etc. and cheaper than macs. I
would also get an iPad or similar device for Internet access because I
can sit on the couch and browse with more ease and comfort than a
laptop. I would also have a smaller portable device that serves as a
phone and fits in my pocket.
Now the opinion: This is what most people actually want. The new
addition is the iPad, because many people spend a lot of time browsing
the net, going to forums, email, etc and an iPad on the couch is a
tempting arrangement. I'm not saying Apple wins, and I'm certainly
not an Apple fanboy, but as long as everything works pretty easily the
great majority of consumers will show no loyalty whatsoever as long as
capabilities are provided.

decidedly non profit, who have two things in common, a general disdain, for
Microsoft and all it's works, and an inveterate urge to tinker, it's product

Much as I'd like to see Linux take off, it doesn't give me confidence, and
Apple has been playing on MS's turf all along without making major inroads

If Microsoft gets it's act back together, easier said than done, it may make

such activities in gaining market share either. But MS has the power of
inertia behind it. Apple doesn't.

Re: The State of The List
Remember that however pleasant it is now, for much of modern human existence Europe was a remote and impossible place for us to get to and to live in. That's how Americans view it now. On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 5:05 AM, Bob W p...@web-options.com wrote: 2010/6/16 paul stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net: But it's politically correct to assume that the nasty and violent humans caused the demise of the gentle and peace-loving Neanderthals. I don't think it's a matter of political correctness, but of people retaining a belief that was current in the scientific community for a long time (Man the Hunter) and was used to explain this. The imagery was so powerful (see 2001 A Space Odyssey, for example) that the last 40-50 years of research has not entirely removed it from the popular imagination. [...] As BobW pointed to, combat is not the only way. Competitive exclusion and parasite/disease resistance would do nicely too. For all we know the neanderthals could have been particularly susceptible to a disease transferred by, as you say, procreative mingling. it's also entirely possible that modern people had nothing at all to do with the extinction of the Neandertals. They may have been on their way out anyway, as a result of changes to the environment to which they could not adapt. At the same time, modern humans were able to exploit the changing environment, which is why we entered Europe at the same time as the Neandertals were expiring. One event did not necessarily cause the other - they may have had the same cause. Remember that however pleasant it is now, for much of modern human existence Europe was a remote and impossible place for us to get to and to live in. Depending on how the evidence is interpreted, we may have got to Australia as much 30,000 years before we got to Europe! Yet the Neandertals thrived in those conditions. It should not be much of a surprise to find that when conditions had softened enough for us, the Neandertals came under environmental stress. I am on holiday in the Cevennes next week and the week following - I hope to be able to visit some sites where Cro-Magnon finds were made in the 19th C, including la caverne de l'homme mort, where some 50 individuals were found, most of whom had been trepanned.

Yes, Brian, there is a lot going on on the net regarding seemingly

Interestingly in the discussion you mentioned they indicate crop
factor of 1.57 which might mean that the sensors are this camera
and those in Pentax are ever so slightly different.
Also, m43 is somewhat more attractive at least to me due to the
fact that (as far as I understand) Leica takes part in the design
of some of the lenses. Who is going to make the lenses for Samsung
is yet unknown for me.
Though, indeed, the flood gates of smaller-than-slr changeable lens
cameras market seem to have been completely opened.

There's only one 645 Full-frame sensor on the market, the 60MP sensor in the PhaseOne P65+ back and the last I'd heard that was a custom job for PhaseOne and not available to other vendors, even if it was, it would probably have doubled the cost of the 645D. Everyone else except Leica is using either 1.3x or 1.1x crop sensors, depending on availability and cost (every back maker switches between the two sizes). Leica is using their own, slightly smaller 3:2 aspect format. 1.3x is reasonable. I found using the 1.3x crop 1D mark II very comfortable and didn't have to sway too much with existing lenses to get what I wanted. The K15mm on that camera was formidable. Given that the 645D-FA lenses remain able to cover 645, I expect Pentax to move up to full-frame sensors when there are economic options available. My hat is due to retire in 2025 so better be quick. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Steve Desjardins -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: question for the brits American to English translation
Not completely true. When I stayed at the Reuben Hotel in London they had something called American Muffins on the continental breakfast cart. They were the somewhat mushroom shaped baked goods that we simply call a muffin here in the US. I don't know how they tasted since they also has chocolate Croissants.

American biscuits? No. We never attach the word American to anything that's supposed to be food. Over here a biscuit is crisp and crunchy made from short pastry and typically quite thinnish, except for Jaffa cakes. A cookie is fatter and less crunchy with a soggy middle. A bit like the difference between Mark Roberts and Cotty, really. http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/week.php3 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- Steve Desjardins -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: question for the brits American to English translation
Sorry, but the government should never be given this authority. In the US, we have social services that will take away children if there is proof of abuse and that's as far as you can go. If people have to ask permission to have children, it is just way to easy to move to eugenics. People have to die sometimes to maintain a free society: sometimes it's soldiers, sometimes it's highway drivers, and sometimes it's abused children. That sounds harsh but totalitarian states usually begin with something for our own good.

Re: Waiting for UPS
I have no sympathy at all and thoroughly hate you. On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 10:44 AM, tbei...@sbcglobal.net wrote: I am sitting here today waiting for UPS.

Re: Oh mama - 645D First Impressions and a Interview
It will be really interesting to see how fast this thing depreciates. On the one hand, the technology will age quickly like all digital products. On the other hand, 40 MP may be on the digital plateau in terms of quality. Also, there will be far less of these made so the sued ones will be rare. And (he says bitterly), I bet it will be an awesome camera for outdoor photography.

Re: Not THAT similar
It's similar enough, given that they are wildly different kinds of cameras. An EVIL twin would be nice. 2010/3/18 Margus Männik mar...@eol.ee: Hi, you may take a look at the photos I uploaded to different server: http://nagi.ee/photos/haramount/sets/256079/?picture_type=tstart=0 Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining and I really do like I-10. In my opinion, it is one of the few (if not the only) compacts that look like a camera, not a soapbox. Just when you take it to you hand together with Auto 110, it feels pretty much different from Auto 110. As I said, they are similar, but not THAT similar :) BR, Margus John Celio wrote: got my white Optio I-10 today. It's the first piece of photo equipment in my life that I have purchased purely because of the look. I really like it. Many people have described it as Auto 110'ish, but when you put it together with Auto 110, the similarity is much less than expected. http://home.uninet.ee/~margus02/peso/ The cameras can't really be that similar in size, can they? Could you post a side-by-side pic without resizing? I'd be most interested in seeing that.
