And we need 39 megapixels for....

Speaking of this, sometimes I second guess myself. In this day and age of terrorism, etc, I get the feeling that what I'm doing is wrong, even though I know it isn't. Call my paranoid but after living in military housing for a decade, I think I am. Did I ever tell you that once I forgot myself? While waiting in the car in front of the ship, waiting to pick the hubby up, I thought that I would snap a picture of the ship for my scrapbook. Wah, seconds after the flash went off, I heard a loud alarm from the ship. By chance, Hubby was right within sight and he told me the alarm indicated the ship's security had been breached. The sentry came up to me and asked me to delete the photo. I had never felt so small until that day.Originally posted by av98m:issit? illegal to take pics of buses and trains? -

there was this girl taking a photo of a fire hydrant outside a hospital, across the road from the US embassy in Singapore. the police were alerted by the embassy guards and appeared almost instantaneously to question her -
it's the same all over the world ... last time I was back home in 2005, a couple of army buddies and me drove down to changi village and hendon camp to get a dab of nostalgia ....Originally posted by jetta:Speaking of this, sometimes I second guess myself.

we looped down to the front of the camp gates and spot lights came on and sentries snapped onto 'guard' positions ... -
but I've also noticed...that in Singapore, police or security guards will only stop the locals or asians. If you're caucasian you can pretty much take pics almost anywhere.

So sian you know. I so wanted to snap pics of the base for my scrapbook but that got foiled. To do so, one has to put in paperwork for the base Captain's okay. Grrrr!Originally posted by av98m:yes, unfortunately its the same everywhere.

During my recent trip to Guangzhou, I found out that the police there will stop people from snapping photos in public. And I was wondering why I did not see a single other person with a cameraOriginally posted by jetta:So sian you know. I so wanted to snap pics of the base for my scrapbook but that got foiled.

don't you see .... it's all part of a grander plan ....Originally posted by sbst275:STOMP sooner or later will fail...

overwhelm the peasants with the inane and you'll drown out the larger issues ....
I mean, just look at the kind of letters that get published in the straits times forums .... sometimes I wonder if the powers-that-be are stupid or they think we are ... -
It's just plain sickening. I was so itching to snap pics before we left Japan because the base had undergone many exciting changes but nooooooooooo cannot.Originally posted by av98m:During my recent trip to Guangzhou, I found out that the police there will stop people from snapping photos in public.

I have no idea what SPH is trying to do with STOMP.Originally posted by sbst275:STOMP sooner or later will fail...
Majority are all not considered news
1. It does not generate revenue enough to even cover operating costs
2. It does not make its users want to buy or read its newspapers or magazines.
3. The setup cost came close to 2 million I was told. Are they ever going to recover even a fraction of that?
4. The content is crap anyways.
