What are the pros and cons of a mirrorless camera? I want to know from users who used traditional  DSLR before.
The main doubt one can have about mirrorless is, I think that they do not provide ttl viewfinder. Is this a big disadvantage? In what way is it worst (or best) than classical reflex system?  What are the others advantages and disadvantages of a mirrorless compared to a reflex?  Have mirrorless a chance to replace reflex (at least for non pros) in the future?
More informative flagging history for comments Check if a class is derived from a generic class I have a generic class in my project with derived classes.  public class GenericClass&lt;T&gt; : GenericInterface&lt;T&gt; { }  public class Test : GenericClass&lt;SomeType&gt; { }   Is there any way to find out if a Type object is derived from GenericClass?  t.IsSubclassOf(typeof(GenericClass&lt;&gt;))   does not work. If I click to open achievements from a question when I click the X to close the achievements view I end up on the answers tab of the question, I assume because the X is over the tab and it's tapping through.    It appears if I hit the X it's ok, but if I tap anywhere else in the top row (where the X is) then I can switch to the question or answer tab. What is the difference between a tatkal and premium tatkal ticket in Indian Railways? Of course most languages have library functions for this, but suppose I want to do it myself.  Suppose that the float is given like in a C or Java program (except for the 'f' or 'd' suffix), for example "4.2e1", ".42e2" or simply "42". In general, we have the "integer part" before the decimal point, the "fractional part" after the decimal point, and the "exponent". All three are integers.  It is easy to find and process the individual digits, but how do you compose them into a value of type float or double without losing precision?  I'm thinking of multiplying the integer part with 10^n, where n is the number of digits in the fractional part, and then adding the fractional part to the integer part and subtracting n from the exponent. This effectively turns 4.2e1 into 42e0, for example. Then I could use the pow function to compute 10^exponent and multiply the result with the new integer part. The question is, does this method guarantee maximum precision throughout?  Any thoughts on this? Evolution of the (phenotypic) facial features of the indigenous people of (west/central) Africa I am not even remotely an expert in this field; I just got curious, so help me.   First of all, let us remove all human sentimental attributes from this question (such as connotations of  or emotional reactions thereof) and ask it from a purely scientific point of view. The typical facial feature of a West/Central African person (the so-called ) exhibits a wide nose, a lack of nasal bridge projection (similar to many Asian noses) and a prognathous skull shape that resembles more closely to our ancestor Homo Heidelbergensis than many other indigenous phenotypes from other parts of the world do.  I agree that this claim sounds anecdotal, and is certainly not true of all Africans (for example, Ethiopians), but one cannot dismiss it simply on grounds of ethical policing. I cannot help but notice that many of my African friends remind me of our shared ancestry (with no disrespect meant whatsoever), as is clear from the photographs below, one of a supposed Homo Heidelbergensis and one of a random African Homo Sapiens of today.     My question is the following. What is the reason behind this seeming resemblance? Is this appearance an illusion and possibly a construct of a prejudiced mind, or does this have a valid scientific answer? For example, are most Africans closer to our ancestors than the rest of humanity is? How does evolution answer this question?  Thank you for your help. Answering your own question? Accept it. Not able to understand the meaning of question? car moving with a speed of 40 km / h can be stopped by applying brakes after at least 2 m. If the same car is moving with a speed of 80 km / h, what is the minimum stopping distance  Does this mean that after 2 m, You will apply brakes and then it stops. What is the retardation value  with which you are brakes.I am not understand the meaning of the values. Sum of $k {n \choose k}$ is $n2^{n-1}$ Proof that $\suṃ̣_{k=1}^{n}k {n \choose k}$ for $n \in \mathbb N$ is equal to $n2^{n-1}$.  As a hint I got that $k {n \choose k} = n {n-1\choose k-1} $.  I tried solving this by induction but, in the inductive step I'm not arriving to the correct result. What is the reason the log transformation is used with right-skewed distributions? I once heard that      log transformation is the most popular one for right-skewed distributions in linear regression or quantile regression   I would like to know is there any reason underlying this statement? Why is the log transformation suitable for a right-skewed distribution?   How about a left-skewed distribution? Why can't we use double pointer to represent two dimensional arrays? Can HTML checkboxes be set to readonly? I thought they could be, but as I'm not putting my money where my mouth was (so to speak) setting the readonly attribute doesn't actually seem to do anything.  I'd rather not use Disabled, since I want the checked check boxes to be submitted with the rest of the form, I just don't want the client to be able to change them under certain circumstances. Photoshop using Marque Tool > Path > Circular But Not a perfect shape? Please consider this image below :   This is happened when I have a circular shape (marquee tool selection). THen after that I converted to Work Path (by right click of that selection). And I add 2.0 as its Tolerance Pixel.   After applying it. The shape become not perfect, could you see the difference? I make it with a black background so everyone could see it from the image no.2.  I realized this is a problem, because If i use that path for placing a text. the text wont follow the correct path as circular (selection), instead ... the shape a bit changed (i think it's ugly shape :: see the detail of the arrow).  How to solve this case ? I'm using Photoshop CS3. Stack exchange badges It might be useful to encourage existing users of stackoverflow to cross pollinate other stack exchange sites.  While rep-sharing is not useful, as rep is meant to be a measure of expertise in one subject, badges may be one way to encourage participation across many sites.  This was triggered by seeing how few people actually had greater than 1k rep on all three main sites (SO, SF, SU) via Dennis Williamson's  app.  I had tried to do this by hand prior to the API under the assumption that many people would be answering questions on all three sites, but it turns out there are only 33 people, of all the users of stackoverflow, that have a 1k+ reputation on all three sites.  Over time it may be useful to provide badges that appear on all sites one is participating in that are awarded for extraordinary participation in the whole universe of Stack Exchange sites.  For instance, a silver badge might appear on all my profiles if I obtain 1k rep on 5 or more sites, and a gold badge if I have more than 3k rep on 5 or more sites.  I would hesitate extending this much past 5 sites as we don't want to encourage spamming questions and answers on sites where the user has little interest, but across the universe of stackapps I know I'm proficient or expert in at least 10 current sites, and while it's not a big nudge, the idea that I can get extra awards - especially ones that appear on all sites I'm in - would move me to participate a little more on sites that I am registered on, but don't visit regularly.    I expect, eventually as sites are launched, most users of any one site will have some interest or knowledge in at least 5 other sites.  This may provide the extra nudge some sites need to maintain an excellent rating in terms of usage. Illustrator: how to change the artboard number? Prove that $\lambda = 0$ is an eigenvalue if and only if A is singular. I'm trying to prove that statement: Prove that $\lambda = 0$ is an eigenvalue if and only if $A$ is singular.  I'm not sure if my proof is totally correct:  Suppose that $\lambda = 0$ if det(A) = $\lambda_1 \cdot \lambda_2 . . .\lambda_n = 0$ then A is singular.  If anyone could show me a better proof that would help. EXTRA PROBLEM I have NEI on minecraft with some other mods and NEI is supposed to have a saves thing on the left, and items on the right. The only thing on the left is the options. I want to see the saves and time changing options too.  Cheat Mode When I click on a item to get it it keeps showing me the recipe. Though in the options menu from NEI it is on cheatmode. I saw another post saying I need to change something to this lockmode=-1 or cheatmode=2 but it is already that way. That didn't work how do i get it to give me the items and also recipe when I press R. how to reset gnome panel? I think my gnome-panel is messed up because I alt+right click it and nothing pops up.  I'm on 12.04, classic gnome desktop.  so I used locate and found gnome-panel in .gconf somewhere, how do I clear just gnome-panel's settings so that I can add things to my panel again?   edit:  matt: ~/.gconf $ find|grep -iw panel ./desktop/ibus/panel ./desktop/ibus/panel/%gconf.xml ./apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel ./apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/%gconf.xml In a question related to introductory Galois theory, I was asked to given an example of a tower of fields $F \subset K \subset E$ such that $E$ is a splitting field for some polynomial $f(x) \in F[x]$, but that $K$ need not be a splitting field. The example that comes to mind for me is $\mathbb Q \subset \mathbb Q(\sqrt[3]{2}) \subset \mathbb Q(\omega_3, \sqrt[3]{2})$.  So I know that the minimal polynomial for $\mathbb Q(\omega_3, \sqrt[3]{2})$ over $\mathbb Q$ is $x^3-2$. This polynomial does not split in the intermediate field $\mathbb Q(\sqrt[3]{2})$.  I wanted to make sure that I'm justifying that this intermediate field is not a splitting field correctly. Now I may be confused about the books terminology. When we say something is not a splitting field, we always have to refer to a specific polynomial correct? I've read a term called a normal extension which I think refers to one in which every polynomial splits, but my book doesn't mention these.   If splitting field means with respect to the polynomial $x^3-2$, then I've already demonstrated that $\mathbb Q(\sqrt[3]{2})$ is not a splitting field. Also, it couldn't be a normal extension either because that polynomial doesn't split.  Does it sound like I'm understanding this correctly or are there some subtleties I might be missing? Solutions to $y^2 = x^3 + k$? The equation $y^2 = x^3 + k$ for $k = (4n-1)^3 - 4m^2$, with $m, n \in \mathbb{N}$ and no prime number that p is congruent to 1 modulo 4 divids m, doesn't have any answer and its proof can be obtained by using quadratic reciprocity law.  Do you know answers of this equation for two or three different values of $k$? In addition, do you know any reference about that?
