I was rubbish at math at school and diverted into other subjects as soon as possible. Back in the day though we were taught arithmetic.
So I can add; subtract; multiply and divide in my head. This seems to amaze people under about 30.
We have a lot of small size, small value coins which accumulate in my jeans pocket.
I will often go into a shop, make a few small purchases that come to say, £3.47 and then count that out in 1p; 2p; 5p; 10p; and 20p coins in the palm of my hand.
This brings a look of amazement/fear to the eyes of the 17 year old behind the counter and they'll put it straight into the register without checking it.
It's lucky I'm honest but I am one of a dying breed.
Cheers, John:)
Kari,
The technology used in the new Live beta is I understand based on that used in microsoft's ICE, (image Composite Editor), Project - this is quite an impressive piece of technology and the latest version, (including Native 64 Bit), is always available here ...
Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor (ICE)
Worth a look for anyone with a need for panorama creation
Great tip Nigel.
It's amazing how far we have come with imaging.
If you don't mind I want to share this link with fishnbanjo thread on Camera's.
