The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It looks like you have to create a playlist first, then you can use the File->Burn Playlist to Disc command.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

How do you find out what dpi a photo is within iPhoto? I know how many pixels by how many pixels the photo is but not the bit depth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

DPI isn't important until you print it out, Spidra. I mean, as a photo, it just has a width of pixels. You can print it out at 300 DPI or 72 DPI or whatever you want.

Thanks, ita. I figured it was something their designers would be choosing but the person communicating with me knows even less about that stuff than I do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is it a scanned photo? In that case it would have a DPI, relative to the size it was as an original, but I couldn't tell you how to find that in iPhoto.

No. It's a photo I took. This publisher is interested in it for a book. And she said "we are looking for most (photos) at 300dpi at 8x10".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

300 DPI at 8x10 means 300x8 pixels wide and 300x10 pixels long. So, 2400x3200 pixels.

Oh well. My camera seems to do 1536 x 2048. Looks like they'll have to search around for another photo of an uncommon pear variety...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Comcast Puts Tollbooth on Net Video, Says Backbone Provider

Comcast strong-armed one of the nation’s biggest internet backbone providers, Level 3, into paying extra to deliver movies to Comcast customers, Level 3 announced Monday, describing it as a violation of open internet principles.

“Comcast is putting up a toll booth at the borders of its broadband Internet access network, enabling it to unilaterally decide how much to charge for content which competes with its own cable TV and Xfinity delivered content,” Level 3 chief legal officer Thomas Stortz said in a press release.

Level 3 is a major “backbone” provider which carries large amounts of traffic from ISP to ISP, and in some cases, from large corporate clients to ISPs. One of Level 3’s biggest clients is Netflix, which provides on-demand video services that have grown to an estimated 20 percent of net traffic during peak evening hours.
