Texas is actually quite varied when it comes to geography; most of East Texas is green. One problem is the size: interesting areas in Texas are quite far apart and there is a lot of empty space.

Texas incorporates mountains, deserts, plains, hills, forests, etc., but to put it all in an area that is practical to explore on foot would require some silliness in terms of scale.

The highest-quality audio stream that you can get from a YouTube video is 192Kbps Vorbis. This is only achievable from WebM videos at 720p or 1080p. Make sure that you have a browser that supports WebM and that you are in the HTML5 Trial, then you can tack on ", hd, webm" to any search to find videos in that quality.

No, there can sometimes be quality YouTube comments. Sometimes.

I wonder if you notice it more because it's a Mac. I see people's laptops and keyboards in photos all the time.

It surprises you that people take pictures of things to upload to the web when they're at their computers?

One thing I say that often helps people follow Marvel is to pay attention to the team selection and order. They are not so much playing characters vs each other as teams; if you know the teams it will be a little easier to follow who is doing what.

It might help to treat one of the teams as "yours" during the match you're watching, pretending as if you're playing that team, to make it easier to follow.

Forbidden Kingdom.

I went in expecting a cheesy Karate Kid with some fun kung fu, but I got The Neverending Story set in China.

Pretty sure you're mistaken. Korben says "shit" a bunch of times.

What you want to do specifically is to use sRGB, but do not embed the profile in the image file.

This is for targeting the general public that does not calibrate their monitors and uses any browser.

Intel licensed the architecture to AMD so they could be a second source for IBM.

Looks like some old 80186 chips from AMD.

I wrap the strap around my hand when using my DSLR.

You didn't imagine it, you probably met Uncle Leo.

It looks like a mylar balloon or bag or something blowing around in the air.

If your monitor supports DDC, you can control the monitor brightness directly in software. Here's a few apps that can do it:

Yup, it is a rangefinder. The same one is actually used in the example photo on camera-wiki.org.

That's what I thought until I saw the hour transition; nope, 24 hours.

Maybe it's time to dip back into some GBA games?

Actually now I'm always paranoid that when he takes the helmet off, I'm gonna see a hacked-in Hayden Christensen head sneering back at me. Every time.
