He did get to jump to the head of the kidney transplant line right?
Liver. I have no evidence for or against any such thing taking place. I simply don't know. I am just happy he's alive. And it illustrates the importance of being an organ donor.
If reservations are required, why would anyone think that Steve Jobs is any better?... Sorry, just because you're a billionaire does not mean you supersede everyone else.
I have always been bothered by this saying, am I the only one who puts pants on 2 legs at a time?
Do you sit on a chair or the bed while doing this or do you like stand up and jump into your pants?

In which case the photo would be true, because the RDF is distorting everything around him causing the weird shadows.

Well, lived in SF for about almost 3 years, this is about spot on. Though I think "Bay Area", "The City" and "San Francisco" is most commonly used (well, at least, 10 years ago when I was there). I would cringe when my uncle would say, "So, how's Frisco?" ... But then he was working in New York for several years in the 70s (or 80s, can't remember). Oh, yeah, "San Fran" was never really used. Interestingly, I recall saying "SF" was quite uncommon.
Ah, it was a tumultuous time, the dot com boom and bust at the turn of the century. So many people in and out of the city, there were so many people that came from many other places. I was received well by the natives because I sought to learn their ways. Or maybe it was just that I drank a lot and thought that I was received well.

The story goes that it was recommended he sign up on the waiting list at a Memphis hospital. A liver became available at some point, and apparently it had to be transplanted in 4 hours time. So Steve took his private jet and Boom! he was there. The story goes that Steve said he only managed to get the liver because he could be there in such a short time to do the transplant. DId he somehow skip ahead of other people on the Memphis hospital waiting list? I don't know.
As for being an orgon donor, hell yeah, they can chop me up any way they want once I'm dead. I've always had the fantasy of dropping my body into the deepest jungle you can find on earth and just let me decompose au naturel. But then others wouldn't get my organs.
I always did think cemeteries in crowded cities are a big gawddamned waste of valuable space.
Accepting your credentials as true, can you explain what appears to be an aberrant shadow in my previous post. I genuinely would like to hear what you have to say about that particular element in the pic.
Are you talking about a shadow that is not represented by a line in the 2nd photograph? Because all of the shadows that are marked by lines are shown to be intersecting at the horizon, as they should. Yes... they will cross at the horizon.
It's hard to explain in words any better than the picture with the red and blue lines indicate, unless you are referring to a shadow that does not have a line running along it. The only shadows I see are the telephone wires which are mostly running horizontal and the shadow against the building.
Please explain if the shadow you are referring to does not have a representative line, because I don't see it.

(And yeah... it is very childish to not call people idiots, but it is so funny to hear such confidence coupled with such ignorance.)
Do not call it "San Fran" nor "Frisco." It's "The City." Or, if you're referring to it from outside the Bay Area, San Francisco works just fine.
Speak for yourself, please. I'm about as San Francisco as they get and personally never heard of anything close to your "rule". I know literally TENS of people who are SF native that refer to this city as "Frisco".
As for the owners of the restaurant wanting Jobs to come back. Don't think announcing that he has been there is going to help in that regard. Privacy, please.
And here was the final reason to un-bookmark the increasingly useless, not to mention poorly written, AI web site. What a waste of perfectly good electrons.
But that, unfortunately, is not the point. What they have said, and what you have reiterated are all quite correct. We all grasp the fundamental laws of physics (optics and light) here. The problem is, these facts don't account for what appears to be a problem in the picture.
No, the real problem here is that IT DOESN'T MATTER. I don't care if it's real or faked. Even if the story is true (which I doubt), the fact that Jobs went to a restaurant that was already full and didn't have an empty table isn't news.

I'm always surprised (even though I shouldn't be) when people ignore evidence that contradicts their preconceived notions (politics/economics, as well as physics). Go outside and look at shadows of yourself and telephone poles. Then ask yourself why you think parallax is relevant even though the shadows appear to be parallel. The light source (the sun) is very far away - at infinite distance as far as human perception is concerned.
Or perhaps you are clearly dumb at these things. Please enlighten me where do you see any contradiction on the picture. You speak of "sharp" shadows. Probably you are comparing them with the shadows of the cables which are blurred. And then you really think you are "on to" something. But you are not. You are only witnessing the product of your ignorance. Go outside and see a shadow of any cable that is well above you, like 4,5 meters. Then compare to your shadow.
Oh, hello! Your shadow is now sharper than the cable's! OMG do you realise what that means? It means, you are not really you, you are a photoshopped person!!

I'm just glad the writer described what Steve was wearing. Because I care.

You can't waste electrons, dummy.

No, but you can waste electricity by browsing the web.
Wow he does wear the same clothes everywhere...
I can see his closet: the top row is all black turtlenecks, the bottom row all jeans. Makes choosing an outfit a snap.

Intended as a joke, I imagine -- but this is Steve's stated reason for his wardrobe.
The vanishing point for shadows are directly beneath the light source (the sun in this case) so they would be behind the camera, not in front of it.
The shadows should appear to point outwards from the center of the picture, not towards the center.
I could explain why this is not the case, but why don't you just go outside and verify your hypothesis?

There's another picture of him and his family crossing the street to his car, over here ->http://blogs.sfweekly.com/foodie/201..._get_a_tab.php
plus the rest of story.
Dude, it's called parallax. Look it up some time.
