I'll find it and scan it. http://www.darksky.org/images/satelite/usa_1996-97.gif That's not a picture. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories...tlights1994-19 95b .j pg Neither is that. How are they NOT pictures???? They're not photographs - they're generated outputs of some sort of undefined measurement. Without at a minimum knowing precisely what was being measured, they're no more "pictures" than are Rorschach inkblots. Just curious - would you consider an MRI a "picture"? How about an X-Ray? Or an oscilloscope display? Most normal people wouldn't, even knowing what it is those devices measure and what their outputs represent. I take it you didn't see this: pic‧ture  /ˈpɪktʃər/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[pik-cher] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, -tured, -tur‧ing. –noun 1. a visual representation of a person, object, or scene, as a painting, drawing, photograph, etc.: I carry a picture of my grandchild in my wallet. 2. any visible image, however produced: pictures reflected in a pool of water. 3. a mental image: a clear picture of how he had looked that day. 4. a particular image or reality as portrayed in an account or description; depiction; version. They are, indeed defined as a picture. Miami is not a red blob. It wasn't even a red blob during the "Scarface" era. So if what you pointed to falls under the heading of "visual representation", then it is a ****ty representation. Not that I'd expect different from you. Ask Kevin about his "schnapps whiskey" LMAO |
