That seems a harsh way to find out that your Windows machine has been rooted.
Or a good way, as it will force people to find a way to fix it. Who knows, maybe it will even teach some people some things about the dangers of rootkits.
That's far too young to be thrown into an environment with college students who are about 18 to 23 years old.... Most of them are just not mature enough to handle that,
Exactly. That's why we're only sending the top students. There will always be outliers who will be able to fit in at a collegeriate level when they're 16. That's the whole point of this program.
Our worry shouldn't be whether or not they can fit in at that level (I know plenty of 16 year olds who have a better head on their shoulders than many college freshmen). Rather, our concern should be whether or not we have an accurate way of determining if a particular student is ready to move on. What we have to ensure is that this program doesn't fall prey to overzealous parents - especially in the "everyone is a winner" mentality that we currently possess in America. I guarantee that if this gets passed there will be an outcry of "my child shouldn't be discriminated against. (S)he should be able to head to college too at this grade!" They're going to have to be ready for that.
Not really. I've ran CS and CS2 under wine before, and it simply doesn't have the performance that the native ones have. In my case, I'm doing editing on images that are often times 12000x12000px, often times with over 100 layers. For simple edits, it's fine. But for larger projects it just cant handle it.
Kudos photoshop. You know that you've done well with a piece of software when it turns into a verb.
That said, spread some lovin' over to the linux side of things. Right now that's the only thing that's keeping me from using linux as my main OS (using win7 right now).
My father still has one of the original Pluto Platters (the first commercially produced flying disc) that he made. Sad to see him go, the thing still flies great today (though we dont throw it much as the plastic has grown brittle).
It was originally targeted towards rendering svg files only. They needed something they could use to render them on their mobile releases, but they didn't find anything that cross-platform so they rolled their own. Eventually they added canvas support to it, and ultimately made it their primary rendering engine for all html elements in this release.
Possibly. Even under their older javascript library, the graphical draw was the bottleneck, not the JS. Think of it like upgrading a computer - sure the new processor is nice, but switching the cassette tape for a new ssd is going to be slightly more noticeable.
I'm actually far more excited for VEGA (their new vector graphics lib) than the javascript update. Is having spiffy-fast js nice? Yea, but I think Vega is really where they're going to shine. It'll make transformations and other animations run far smoother in opera than any other browser (with the exception of firefox's direct2d experimental build that was released a while back). Kudos Opera, you're ahead of the game yet again.
The difference between bands like Girl Talk who sample music to create new pieces, and someone copying someone else's words into a paper they're writing, is that Girl Talk doesn't claim to have made the samples. One of the aspects of why plagiarism is seen as wrong is because you're taking credit for someone else's work. When you're sampling music, you're crediting them.
Why only require it here? Why not make the local hot dog stand on the street keep records of who bought their food for the last two years? Because it's inconvenient and it's not effective. If laws are put in place to do this, then people will find a way around it. Any form of p2p transfer will easily let people gain access to those images without touching the loggers. Criminals are smart, stop treating them as fools and punishing the common masses because of it.
Nice! I cant wait for a sci-fi movie that's entirely done in 3D where the main character bonds with an idigenous species who dwell on a planet that has a resource unobtainable anywhere else in the universe! They should get James Cameron to direct it!
I wonder how many people who have in currently installed will go out and buy the latest version rather than attempt to bypass the restrictions. It seems like these restrictions are targeted at the type of people who do know how to circumvent these things (that is, people who don't mind beta testing and keep up their computer skills), and that it'll be more of an annoyance than a polite, "Hey the trial is ending soon. Just fyi."
/. has never been a place for news as it happens. The reason that/. is so great is it's discussions after the event has come to pass. If you want news as it happens try reddit or something similar. It feels weird telling someone who has a lower UID than myself this, but, you must be new here.
Everyone get vaccinated, this outbreak of common sense might be contagious!
Penalties that can actually be paid? Preposterous! My God man, next thing you know they'll say gay marriage is acceptable! Harumph!

I own photoshop CS. Surprising, I know.

I read it as the tax office in the summary as well. I think fax being thrown out so many times made my mind assume that one of them stated "tax".

If it's that thing of a layer, wont it be prone to breaking off and becoming airborne? Sounds like silicosis-fun-times to me.
I expected chairs to be thrown at me.
PCs running Windows 7 RC will automatically shut down every two hours. Those shutdowns will come without warning
The periodic shutdowns aren't actually part of the trial restrictions. They're built in to celebrate the 10th anniversary of windows ME

I have an ngage you insensitive clod!
"linux dual head"
The first three mention either xrandr or xinerama. Didn't check beyond that.
Offensive, but he's right. A simple google search would have revealed this.
I was planning on building a website documenting it - but I'm horrible at putting webpages together.
This is too good not to have online. If you send me pictures and instructions, I'll help you build a site.

What of it? Oink was his business, good for him for making a profit off of it.
