Slashdot Mirror
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'."
My brain just exploded.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Slashdot fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Slashdot screen for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 line troll from one message thread on the hard drive to another thread. 20 minutes. At home, on my Kur05hin account, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Slashdot, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this troll transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even fuckedcompany.net is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Slashdots, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Slashdot that has run faster than its Kuro5hin counterpart, despite the Slashdot's faster troll architecture. my.yahoo.com with 8 categories of Rueters Top News runs faster than this site at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that Slashdot is a superior forum.
Slashdot addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use Slashdot over other faster, cheaper, more stable forums.
probably the same time all browsers support the same standards in the same way or 2 days after the release of Duke Nukem Forever.
mickey mouse in da hizzy! bling bling!
Why should socialists not call things Orwelian? Orwell was a socialist after all.
Watch this Heartland Institute video
"Wine Is Not an Emulator"
Orion: Obviously, slashdot doesn't control the html of comments posted (unless they delete them
CmdrTaco: Whattever. Next!
Because some of the visitors are still using Internut Exploder?
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.
Slashdotter are stupid and biased.
Since Disney is involved with Linux, I can tell her that those bastards at SCO are trying to find Nemo too... So they can sue him.
That's scary.
He was a socialist but that didn't mean he was an idiot. Hence:

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.
Degaussing scares the bad magnetism out of the monitor and fills it with good karma.
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?
Slashdotter are stupid and biased.
Yes, I'm aware he was a socialist, but for one thing he did not believe that the situation in 1984 could actually happen.
Slashdotter are stupid and biased.
