  Why does my HDTV lose the edges of the frame when something is broadcasting in 1080i, but not at 480i?

  …Because if you mean your seeing only a portion of the observable image, it could be that a setting, most likely under ‘Video,’ is set to zoom the viewable area to greater than 100%—which could explain why SD fits and HD doesn’t.

  What does the caliber of a bullet mean?

  Hmm, I had no idea that .22’s and 5.56mm rounds were nearly the same size. I would presume the NATO rounds have a longer case length and a larger powder load than a standard .22 round? I suppose I’ll have to hit up Wiki in short order!

  Why does my HDTV lose the edges of the frame when something is broadcasting in 1080i, but not at 480i?

  When you say it “loses” the edges do you mean that you see only a portion of what the original image should be; conversely do you mean the image is displayed with a black frame around it?

  Aperture - Any opinions?

  I know this is somewhat… erm, not an answer that might be expected from the question. Though I suppose it could very well be expected, just not what you wanted for an answer. Seeing as how I don’t have an Apple machine I’ve just started using – after having used Photoshop for the bulk of my photo editing and processing for quite some time – Adobe’s Lightroom. So far, I’ve had no qualms with it, it seems to have pretty powerful batch-processing capabilities as well as organization features – the latter I’ve yet to fully explore. That being said, I’d be very interested in trying Aperture, but for us PC users, I think Lightroom is a very good option for our digital darkroom. I should add though, for really fine tuning an image, one must still crack open Photoshop, yet I imagine in time, with increased familiarity, I’ll fall back on Photoshop less and less.

  What do you think of these lyrics/poem I wrote?

  It’s alright but to be honest – to paraphrase what you said – it reads like the angst-ridden rambling of a teen-aged boy consumed by his perceived inadequacies. Give your ideas more room to breath, or rather, you should try to elaborate and more completely describe your feelings and ideas. This sort of thing has been done, and continues to be done. Whether or not it’s worth showing to an audience—I imagine it probably shouldn’t be unless the authour truly feels what’s presented is worthy of criticism; or perhaps, if it’s to be used as a segue into something more fully realised. Really, it’s alright, and I would say keep writing. I try to write everyday and more often than not what gets put down on paper tends to lean towards nonsense or the disorganized, lacking in form stream-of-consciousness sort of stuff, until I either start into something worthwhile or I put down my pen for a time. All the writing you do is valuable – to a point. If all you wind up writing is disconnected, incomplete ideas then maybe you should reconsider what direction your writing is heading in; on the other hand, a pure feeling never hurt every once in a while. You shouldn’t mistake this as me saying that one should conform to standard literary structure and poetic forms but it helps a lot to first understand the rules before you try breaking them.
