Photoshop in Linux Thanks to Disney

miladus writes "eWeek reports that Walt Disney's feature animation unit (along with 2 other unnamed studios) are using Adobe's Photoshop in Linux. They use the Wine emulator to run the software and the 3 studios 'not known as team players, all three agreed that a project that would benefit the entire open-source community while delivering a technology they needed--was worth their cooperation'."

    I was aware that Orwell was a Socialist, but it still made sense to me. After thinking about it though, you are right. (I believe that Socialism cannot exist without totalitarianism. Orwell however could not have believed that) I guess I'll change it at some point.

    A shared set of beliefs and stronger sense of belonging. It is a well known fact that communism works quite well as long as the members feel a strong enough sense of belonging to the group, if they don't you have too many incentives to enrich yourself at the expense of the group.

    Yes, I think it may be possible that you are misinterpreting a single verse taken out of context. Hey, if you think you have to redistribute your wealth to get into heaven, do not let me stop you... can I have some?

    Yes, I'm aware he was a socialist, but for one thing he did not believe that the situation in 1984 could actually happen.
