i'm not saying one shouldn't review shots (since as u say that's one of the advantages.)
the term was coined by pple who see digital photographers using the LCD as a means to adjust settings and such without learning the proper rules of exposure or understanding the principles of flash exposure. in other words, taking photos by trial and error (as a chimpanze would do - see the connection now? )
Thanks, cleared. Sorry for the trouble.Originally posted by ckiang

besides being chimps, whimps, all of you :rbounce:
we all know REAL programmers write in assembly, on a REAL Unix based OS lke FreeBSD :devil:
section .text
global _start ;must be declared for linker (ld)
msg db "Hello, world!",0xa ;our dear string
len equ $ - msg ;length of our dear string
_syscall:
int 0x80 ;system call
ret
_start: ;tell linker entry point
push dword len ;message length
push dword msg ;message to write
push dword 1 ;file descriptor (stdout)
mov eax,0x4 ;system call number (sys_write)
call _syscall ;call kernel
;actually there's an alternate
;way to call kernel:
; push eax
;call 7:0
add esp,12 ;clean stack (3 arguments * 4)
push dword 0 ;exit code
mov eax,0x1 ;system call number (sys_exit)
call _syscall ;call kernel
;we do not return from sys_exit,
;there's no need to clean stack

"Chimping" is a term being used to describe folks using digital cameras who take shot- and look at it on the display, take a shot-and look at it on the display; take a shot- and look at it on the display..... Because that's precisely the way a chimp would use a digital camera....
So, do you CHIMP? :rbounce:
