I'm looking to remember the name of a painter.

Things I know.

-May be French
-Black and white pictures
-His paintings are stories which contain 5 slides.
-Some of his topics are about the rise and fall of prostitutes and one was about the marriage of a poor and rich family.
-Absolutely FILLED with small details. You could watch one of his paintings for hours and find new stuff.

Some of the details are off, but I think you're after William Hogarth. Your fourth point matches A Harlot's Progress and Marriage à-la-mode.

Any recommendations as to which ones are the best?

I have had a few rolls in the freezer and some in the fridge. You'[re probably right though most of it is probably toast.

I guess the advantage of Walgreens is they don't charge for duds.

This is probably a stupid question, but it just occurred to me, how the hell do we have photos of the Milky Way? I mean we can only take photos from Earth and satellites, but I doubt we could have a satellite which goes light years out. Or maybe I'm just stupid and every photo we have is an artist's representation or something.

These are the only types of photos we have of the milky way:


We're inside the disc of the galaxy, but this picture is looking inwards to the galactic center. Any image you see of a whole galaxy titled "Milky Way" is an artist's representation.

Is there a way I can use one computer connected to a wireless network as a hub to connect a computer without a wireless adapter? I didn't pick one up for my new PC because I'm moving pretty soon and it will live near the router. My Laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premuim and the other computer is running Ubuntu (at least until I get my windows disc in the mail)

Yes, you can connect the two computers with an ethernet cable and then set up Internet Connection Sharing to do this.

Why is so much attention being given to Gabriel Giffords? I understand she is someone important, and the people in her district will care a lot, but people get shot every day. There are thousands out there who have gone through more than she has gone. How about the rest of the victims who got shot?

Because most people who get shot are poor and/or black, not photogenic congresswomen with astronaut husbands.

Also, quite frankly, most people that get shot in the head like that don't recover.

Admittedly, this is usually because they don't have access to the kind of care Giffords has had, nonetheless, it's pretty remarkable how well she's doing.

But mainly because those people are not members of Congress or high-profile government officials. Which none of the other people who got shot that day in Tucson were. And people are interested in how she's recovering from a bullet to the head too.

Are you retarded? She was shot in the head, but I feel like she's still more intelligent than you.

Hint: It's important because she's a member of Congress.

and because there aren't mass murdering sprees every day. The fact that an insane man entered a building and started shooting innocent people based on some delusion in his head makes the fact that Giffords is overcoming this enormous tragedy slightly newsworthy, wouldn't you say?

Not many people have assassination attempts against them; even fewer survive. The word "assassination" does carry a certain weight.

Assassination is only really applied to "important" people though, isn't it? You never really hear about everyday people getting assassinated.
