Photoshop for UNIX -- Been there...
Not sure if you're aware, but there was, once upon a time, a version of Photoshop for UNIX in the form of Sun Solaris. I think the last version (and maybe the only) was 3.01.
There's a PDF version of the product brochure here. (It's 1.5MB and hosted out of some university's server in Switzerland. If you're feeling kind, here's the CoralCache link of same.)
I'm curious what form it was distributed in -- I assume just binaries ... but if Adobe ever felt like bringing that one back from the dead, even if it was just recompiled as x86 binary-only, if they didn't charge an arm and a leg I think there would be a serious market for it. Even Photoshop version 3 is nothing to scoff at -- it had full CMYK, TWAIN import, and pressure-sensing tablet support, to name a few. And this was designed to run on a SparcStation 2 with 32MB of RAM; I don't care how much optimization you lose by compiling it for x86, you're not going to notice on a modern machine. And given that they had versions for Win, Mac, Solaris, and SGI, I'm betting that the codebase was pretty portable.
Ah, well. A man can dream... -

Irony of discussing Blizz's net problems
Either way, I would hate to be a network admin for Blizzard atm.
I'd much rather be a Blizzard network admin than admins of the dead-or-dying site you linked to! At least Blizzard saw it coming! Sheesh. 07:30 CST and their server is already melting into a puddle.

OLD NEWS!

Re:Not Geometry, pattern recognitionI dont agree with you there. Although it seems as if the odd-one-out tasks are childs play, they are not. Some of them, especially the triangles (equilateral v/s isosceles) and the X's (perpendicular v/s otherwise) need the ability to think in terms of angles. And the last one requires you to see if the figures are clockwise or counter-clockwise. Its definitely not simple patterns recognition, all 6 images in each set are very similar in terms of "pattern".
And what you probably read was only the article was on MSNBC for the average reader. It was published in Science, so maybe you should go and read the full article before calling it pseudo-science.

I actually re-read this article the other day. I had been visiting the site because of an odd 43 degree F temperature change overnight, and decided to check on that again. A temperature change of such a large amount, overnight, is not normal at all during January in NY. All the snow melted overnight. -
Re:What this is (apparently) really about
I admit that while we are generally less sue-happy than you, we also have our fair share of idiots. After all, we have the "BILD", Europe's biggest tabloid, which has a blog (German; Coral Cache) dedicated to nothing but the horrible journalism they do (and which gets about ten reprimends per year from the German Press Counci).

Re:Age ranges?The motion to compel/subpeona is total bs. Read the actual Motion to Compel:
http://www.mercurynews.com.nyud.net:8090/multimed
i a/mercurynews/news/google0119.pdfHere are some of my comments after reading it:
1) This is nothing more than a fishing expedition so that the Bush DOJ can put a spin on their flawed argument. Lets assume google complies and provides ALL searched for keywords (without IP address info) for a one month period. The DOJ argues this is to aid them in determing the effectivness of filters vs COPA. How could they possibly know whether the searches were submitted by an adult or a child? Unless they knew the actual person (not even IP address) behind the computer this data is useless.
2) It is dangerous to infer from searches any intent. Pursuit of knowledge on any topic does not mean you agree with the topic. Just a few seconds ago, the FBI (James Burrus - Deputy Asst. Director of Criminal Investigative Division) while testifying in front of the Senate said 'an internet search for pornography returned 19000000 hits'. This is the type of misleading 'facts' that will be culled from the data and abused. Do your own search for pornography and take a look at the first few urls returned.
3) I think the DOJs real purpose here is to highlight some statistics such as '80% of all searches' contains a 'dirty' keyword -- obviously filters cant work. Or "we discovered 1800 searches of 8 year old sex -- these keywords were obviously that of a pedophile'
4) From the motion other search engines other than google have already complied with the earlier subpeona.
5) Initially DOJ wanted ALL URLS in googles database. After 'lengthy negotiations' DOJ modified their request to just one-million random urls. How can the url names possibly be useful? -
GPLv3 and PDF specificationCan I implement a PDF reading software under GPLv3?
In the PDF 1.6 specification, chapter 1.5 are written rules under which you can use the Adobe copyrighted list of data structures and operators. A part of them:
Authors of software that accepts input in the form of the Portable Document Format must make reasonable efforts to ensure that the software they create respects the access permissions and permissions controls listed in Table 3.20 of this specific. These access permissions express the rights that the document's author has granted to users of the document. It is the responsibility of Portable Document Format consumer software to respect the author's intent.
Is this DRM, or not?

As an x-ray crystallographer..
I hope this comes to market soon, because determining the crystallization conditions of a new protein, protein - protein complexes or, protein - nucleic acid complexes is the most difficult part of structure determination. However, there are many protein - protein complexes that don't form regular complexes, that is the same proteins can bind to different parts of its binding partner protein. I wonder if their new material works with such proteins. Ohh and here's the link to the full article made available by nyud.net for those who don't have PNAS subscriptions from their uni's:

What about the custom ATi firmware?
According to a little interview done by Inside Mac Games, the ATi cards use a custom firmware on the Macs. They don't just use the generic "PC" firmware.

Disable the sound? Better solution...
If it's ads that contain these annoying sounds, just block the ads. Hit them where it hurts. I recommend Proxomitron because it runs as a proxy and hence covers all all your browsers simultaneously (but you can ad rules for individual browsers with header matching).
Alternatively, if you just use Firefox, you can try the Adblock extension but, personally, Proxo is alot more powerful. If you're comfortable with regex, willing to learn a few $commands()'s, it's the way to go.
Unfortunately it's Windows only, and no longer in development (sadly the author died and never released the source), but it's still widely used and has a quite a little community about it. If you need it, I'm sure someone else can point you to a Linux solution.
Here is a taster of what Engadget can look like after a few rules in Proxo.
P.S.
On the morality of blocking ads: nobody complains when you goto fetch a drink and take a jimmy riddle during the commercial break, now do they? -

I for one welcome our robot driver overlordsThe real end-game here is taking the humans out of the loop enitirely, driving isn't that hard if you're paying attention.
I worked on the Navlab project project at Carnegie-Mellon in the 1980s. The project built several a robotic cars, aided by vision systems and other specialized sensors, that could distinguish the road from other features, and drive. Top speed was less than 20 miles/hour in the 1980s. In the 1990s, these systems achieved speeds of 90 mph on the interstate, and only required the equivalent of a Pentium 150 in the trunk of the car (along with good sensors).
Technology from the same university has performed well in the DARPA grand challenge. http://www.grandchallenge.org/
Robots don't hog the left lane driving 50 miles per hour, talking on their cell phone. Human still need to pay attention, since there are always situations where the automated systems get into trouble.

No improvement
Check out the games from THREE years ago:
http://graphics.stanford.edu.nyud.net:8090/courses /cs248-videogame-competition/cs248-02/
I'd say i'm fairly unimpressed by the lack of improvement of the games over the years. 2002 was a leap in the quality of games over previous years and the subsequent years have just been disappointing. The winner of 02, The Return of Oscuro, pushed cel-shading, polygon-level collision detection, full real-time shadowing, and a host of other techniques that few commercial games had at that time. It even had it's own muscial score custom written for it and a nice silly story line. Pretty good for about 3 weeks of work I'd say. -
