  1. Need more IAU definitions by kstahmer · · Score: 1 · on What Exactly Is a Galaxy?

    The IAU has some work ahead of it.

    Having recently defined, what is a planet, which waited multiple millennia a formal definition; we now need additional IAU definitions. For in addition to what is a galaxy, there's also, what is a star?

    For example, is a star restricted to a main sequence star or are degenerate objects like white dwarves and neutrons stars, stars? And if they are stars, then are black hole stars?

    We wait with baited breath for further IAU amplification.

    Don't those applications that they were running( Quake3, Gimp) have native ports.

    It would obviously be more impressive/credible if they tried it on programs sans native ports.

  6. Re:This principle should also apply to APIs. by Tim+Browse · · Score: 1 · on Advice for Developers: Make Common Usage Easy

    Damn straight. I found your post because I was searching for 'API' to see if anyone else saw the parallel.

    I am sick and tired of libraries, APIs, modules etc written by people I know and people I don't know that seem to have never considered a very simple question:

    * What is the most likely use of this API?

    Most APIs I have seen/can think of have maybe 1-3 usage patterns which make up the vast majority of use cases. It is so rare that anyone sits down and thinks "How can we design the API so that these cases result in the client having to write the smallest amount of code possible?"

    A classic example (there are many), is Brian Hook's famous Hell of Direct3D Initialisation.

    One of the first things I do when designing an API (by which I include pretty much any reusable code interface) is to write some client code first. What sort of code would I expect to write if I were trying to use this library?

    In some ways, you need to apply the same "user's mental model" process that is used in user interface. As the implementor, I know how this API works internally, but how much of that does the client care about, and how much of that stuff do they want to be forced into learning/using in order to use the API? The answer is usually very little (no matter how you might rail against 'lazy programmers' - ah, what a great bozo filter that phrase is :-)). People who design and implement interfaces should be forced to write some client code early on. Alternatively, watch someone try to code with their interface.

  7. Re:Keyword: Improvement by TwinkieStix · · Score: 1 · on Linux Kernel 2.6.6 Released

    Linux is binary compatible at the same level as windows is. You're comparing apples to oranges. You mentioned GIMP as one of the windows applications. How big was the installer you downloaded? Did you need to download two installers? I bet you did, and you got them from right here. That's the GIMP and the GTK libraries it requires. Here is an example of an RPM for GIMP on Linux. Notice that it has a lot less because Linux already have GTK installed. Those are the dependencies that break.

    Open source software shares a lot of common libraries that users don't want multiple copies of lying around. Dependencies like this exist in windows too. For instance, look at programs written in Visual Basic that require the VBRun DLL libraries to be installed.

    Swapping out kernels doesn't usually effect the programs sitting above the kernel. This is called "binary compatibility" and has existed in Windows and Linux for some time.

  8. GIMP 2.0 to be excluded from TheOpenCD by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on The Gimp from the Eyes of a Photoshop User

    A group of Free Software/OSS advocates have choosen to put together a CD of free software for Windows. One of the things that took me by surprise was that they currently prefer GIMP 1.x over GIMP 2.0 for Windows.

  9. Image editing for the masses by barrettlight50 · · Score: 2, Insightful · on The Gimp from the Eyes of a Photoshop User
    I am not an Apple product user (IANAMPU?), I don't think I have ever used one. I have never seen one but make no mistake I would love to get one of these for starters. I have two close friends who have both used Macs extensively. They swear by them and I believe the reports.

    But this elitist drivel is just the type of crap I've come to expect from certain quarters after 5 years of avid browsing. The reason the article drives me nuts really comes down to cost. (FYI) The submission here pretty much sums up the article except to leave out all the sarcasm and jibing.

    Sure, commercial users who are able to purchase $3,000 worth of hardware without bumping up the mortgage probably 'can't understand why anyone would want to go to so much effort for so little reward'. They probably do honestly think that at $99 Photoshop Elements is 'cheap, painless and produces high quality results'.

    So who cares about the unwashed personal use throng?

    The cost of obtaining a great quality Digital Camera has made all the difference over the last couple of years. It's one of those cases (like digital music) of people getting a chance to take a part of their real life and combine it with their interest in computers or email or the internet or even just a penchant for electronic wizardry, at a price and personal cost that really is cheap and effortless. My point here is that personal users do matter - more each day in fact.

    Whilst I know I am not a GIMP zealot I have used the WIN32 off shoot (The GIMP windows version incidentally, doesn't have to be compiled in an end user sense it comes as an installer executable). As an end user however I am relatively motivated by the general ideas and beliefs of the open source commnuity and in that domain the GIMP is the anti-candle.

    Then there is the issue of breaching the User License. For all you folks who don't taint your pure selves with the concerns of warez and all that - Adobe (for as long as I can remember) has always produced software that seems to be notoriously easy to crack. So I guess, sadly, that gives users such as myself another option, that no-one ever seems to acknowledge.

    Hmm.. I guess no image editor war is ever going to start here (for the time being), right? Let's be honest - it's like comparing a foot massage with a ho down in the holiest of holies. Everyone knows that.

    The article mentions the problem with the help system. (I vaguely remember discovering a fix at some point.. can anyone help?) In any case look no further than here for what I consider to be a remarkable effort, all things considered. It really sums up to me why I (but more importantly GIMP developers) go to all the effort for 'so little reward'. The author of the article says in respect of the MacGIMP that he thought he'd have a look. I guess then he thought he'd wipe his MacNIKEs on the hard and thankless labour of others. Have some respect fulla...

    I found this site linked from the main Gimp site. It doesn't look too sketchy to me. Why don't you use that?
    If you really want to compile from scratch, do it on Linux first with native Linux programs. When you get the hang of that, move to Windows. I'm all for sink-or-swim type trials, but, in this case, I think you'll sink. Very quickly.

    The answer to the grand-parent - no win32 gimp-2.0 available yet - unless you compile it and debug it yourself :)

    <pedantic>Well, there is no gimp-2.0 for any platform yet. We are only talking about a pre-release here.</pedantic>

    This pre-release version (2.0-pre1) is not very different from version 1.3.23, which is available for Windows in a convenient installer from Jernej Simoncic's page. The release of the source code is rather new and it will take a few days until binaries are available for all platforms, but you can probably expect a 2.0-pre version for Windows soon.

    AVG is total rubbish compared to Avast!, which is also free for personal use. Highly recommended.

    I also recommend the image viewer IrfanView, the Filezilla ftp client and server, Audacity, The GIMP for Windows, the ConText text editor, the KiXtart scripting tool, GAIM for Windows, and that's just for starters.

    This just isn't true anymore. OpenOffice.org is a perfectly capable office suite and recent compatability with Office has been pretty good in most cases. Performance has also improved, and will be perfectly acceptable on a relatively new computer.

    Outside of Office software, Audacity is a great free audio editor

    SciTE or the java-based Jedit are good text editors.

    The GIMP is a good image editor, available here for Windows.

    Mozilla or one of its components for mail/web browsing

    For media playing you might want to try Zinf (formerly FreeAmp), Foobar2000 (nice light weight music player), WinAMP for Windows. MPlayer is a good video player for Linux (and Windows) and XMMS is a capable music player for Linux.

    Celestia is a nice space exploration program.

    Jabber is good for instant messaging or Trillian or GAIM if you need to chat on MSN, AIM, ICQ etc.

    GNUCash is a capable accounting program.

    Oh yeah, and for email, I suggest setting up an IMAP server on an old machine and using that to store your email. This can be quite difficult, though allows you to browse your email from Linux and Windows. Thunderbird is rock solid and good even though only in the early stages of development.

    You can do that but the results are measured in terabit-meters/second.

    In case of the Single Stream Class IPv6 record that we still hold 675 Mb was transfered from Ljubljana over Vienna to New York and back over London, Paris, Geneve, Milan to Madrid making a total of 14.800 km of network with the average speed of 348 megabits/s and Data Transfer Speed of 5154 terabit-meters/second.

    To cut the long story short: the speed is not the only thing important in such projects.

    Just FYI, there is a port of GTK+ to Windows. Stability is a bit dodgy at times (especially with 2.0 versions), but it does exist.

    The GIMP for windows makes heavy use of it (obviously, seeing how the GIMP would be the original app using GTK+).

    Some GIMP and GTK+ for windows info can be found here and here.

    Same with programs like The Gimp. If your PC is factory installed with Linux, Gimp is probably included, and it will work fine for anyone that can point and click. But do you really think your average end-user is going to jump through all the hoops required to download, install and set up all the stuff they need to run The Gimp on Windows? Do you?


    I recently had the need for an image processor in a Windows environment and looked for a suitable Gimp binary. I was pleasantly surprised to find this setup exe which installs all required dlls in a satisfactory way. Nothing difficult about it at all and certainly not more so than any other program the "average end-user" may need to install.

    The small version is a beautiful work of art as a pedestrian bridge over a highway. The proposed 1500' stone version would have been far bigger than any stone bridge ever built. The record for stone arch single spans is about 250'. The longest steel arch is 1700'.

    It's probably possible to build such a monster, but the falsework needed to hold up all that granite during construction would in itself be a huge bridge. Steel bridges are usually self-supporting while under construction, but that doesn't work for stone, which has zilch tensile strength. It would probably take more work building the temporary structures to hold up all that stone than to build a bridge som other way.
