Inkscape 0.42: The Ultimate Answer
bulia byak writes "After several months of frantic work by the evergrowing developer community, the aptly numbered Inkscape 0.42 is out. The amount of new features in this version is astounding. Quoting from the (gigantic!) Release Notes, "while some of the new features simply fill long-standing functionality gaps, others are truly revolutionary". Check out the screenshots and grab your package for Linux, Windows, or OSX." The screenshots are pretty mind-blowing; this isn't a 1.0 release, but I think you'll agree it's worth checking out.
Yeah that wording was kind of bothering me too...
The last time I grabbed my package in public I ended up getting the snot beat out of me by a couple of feminists.
Bash has a better interface than The Gimp. ...and Microsoft Bob is a better name than The Gimp. I mean, seriously, the gimp ??? What is this, Tarantino appreciation hour? I swear, every time I hear that name I think of this immortal scene below, and I cringe:
ZED: Bring out The Gimp.
MAYNARD: I think The Gimp's asleep.
ZED: Well, I guess you'll just wake 'im up then, won't you?
Maynard opens a trap door in the floor.
MAYNARD (yelling in the hole): Wake up!
Maynard reaches into the hole and comes back holding onto a leash. He gives it a rough yank and, from below the floor, rises THE GIMP.
The Gimp is a man they keep dressed from head to toe in black leather bondage gear. There are zippers, buckles and studs here and there on the body. On his head is a black leather mask with two eye holes and a zipper (closed) for a mouth. They keep him in a hole in the floor big enough for a large dog.
Zed takes the chair, sits it in front of the two prisoners, then lowers into it. Maynard hands The Gimp's leash to Zed, then backs away.
MAYNARD (to The Gimp): Down! The Gimp gets on its knees. [...]

Ahh, if only my morning paper could condense the day's stories into one succinct paragraph like that. Sure beats shuffling broadsheet on the Metro...
