Well I haven't actually stood behind him to find out what he emits. No plans too. Not even on my bucket list.

If it's on the internet it HAS to be true!

In a few billion years the Sun will start getting bigger and become a red giant. At it's biggest the Sun's atmosphere might get out here to Earth's orbit. Maybe it won't.
Eventually most of the Sun's atmosphere will be driven away by it's solar wind and the Sun will end it's active life as a very slowly cooling White Dwarf.
The Sun's driven away solar atmosphere will become a planetary nebula as seen for outside the solar system. Planetary nebula are like fingerprints - no 2 are alike.

I'm so glad I reread your post. At first I thought you said the sun would get larger in a few million years, and was getting nervous. (Based on a very old New Yorker cartoon I still love.)

Why can't they just put a phone in my camera already. WTF are they waiting for.

I skipped the last 6 pages and this comment is meant for page 1.

I think Kodak went Chapter 11 - reorganization/refi and not Chapter 13 - discharge/liquidation. And they came back the other end a changed organization.

Ah ok thanks.

So would I be a jerk for pointing out that this thread started in May and remarkably Nikon still appears to be in business?

Nikon's stock price is only up $1.95 today too (Canon is up $0.07) ==> Nikon Corp.
you know ... but soon ... soon ... just keep waiting until the Sun explodes.

See post from KmH Studio 101, May 19. In this thread. We were both laughing at worrying about events we believe would happen, possibly, in the distant future. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the jet pack Popular Mechanics promised I would have by now
