![]() ![]() But you seem to imply in your previous post that res independence is a feature of Leopard. That's pretty much all I know, but I'm sure there will be much more stuff awaiting us.:DGreat. With resolution independence, you have the ability to scale anything up and down, thsu delivering evrything the size you want it, at a much higher resoultion, thus resulting in richer image and also the capability of showing 1080p on portables and viewing way larger pictures at full screen. I know Tiger has a manual way of Fonts settings and zooming, but with a DPI even a bit over 120, Tiger would really look bad. (but no OSX:p )Albeit only running at 2GHz and Windows XP Media Center Edition w/Update Rollup 2 :pSome people have requested more info on the res. A 17" MBP for used for video editing would make much more sense with a HD screen ie >1920x1080 (Sony already sell a 1920x1200 machine has a blu-ray burner too.)Oh, and one more thing. I too am interested in the display and related resolution questions. In the absence of context and any other information the answer is 288. If you were looking for acceleration you might go back to the author and ask, "did you mean (x/)?" instead of taking the original expression at its face value. ![]() This would assist in your sanity checking if, for example, you saw that x was a distance, y was a time and a and b were also times and you knew the expected answer was a distance you'd know that (x/y)*(a b) was meant. Or send you TeX $\frac(a b)$ or even code if this was a numerical exercise. Preferably with an extra pair of parens/brackets to improve clarity. ![]() I'd expect anyone who knows what they are doing to send something like x/y(a b) rather than 48/2(9 3). Engineers love to do this kind of thing and take a perfectly nice equation, lump a bunch of stuff together and take a few implied logs for good measure and think it still has meaning. Someone in your group would actually send you an expression that was full of constant numbers rather than reducing that to the answer?Īs s a physicist by training I hate it when the meaning is bled out of an expression, by rote plugging in of numbers. This is even more important when the equations I was using were a lot more complex! If someone in my group had sent me a quick email with this equation I would expect to see. Why should my investments be accounted for differently than my freelance work? I don't get to charge more if the dollar has fallen, or less if the dollar has gained. I do freelance work and thus I get paid sometimes months after the initial work. This tells us that capital gains might be flawed, but it still a way to account for a kind of income. ![]() If you bought an apple on Monday (your cost basis) and, before you bite into it on Wednesday (the point at which you realize gain), the price of apples go up, should you have to pay a tax on the difference? This is the reason the stock market is going up, not because the economy is improving. What has changed is the value of the dollar, which has fallen because the government has diluted the money supply. As gold critics often say, gold just sits there and doesn't produce anything. So, what does this have to do with capital gains? Well, if I buy a gold coin for $1000 and then sell it for $1500 a couple years later, I would be subject to a capital gains tax. Everyone would keep the money the government would have taken, but that money simply won't go as far because the difference in purchasing power will appear in inflation. As I mentioned earlier about inflation, the government could choose to create money rather than impose an income tax. Capital gains are applied to the "profits" from sale of something you bought. Hello all, I just wanted to make another point about capital gains. ![]()
