  1. Re:How much of this is still in use? on For Your Inspection: Source Code For Photoshop 1.0 · · Score: 4, Informative

    No. Photoshop was long ago rewritten into C++. That's not to say that some of the current code might not have some basis on the original code, but it's doubtful it's that much.

    Just so you know, the effective tax rate is not the same as the marginal tax rate. Marginal tax rate is what is paid on the highest level of taxable income. Effective tax rate is amount paid divided by income. So you and your linked post didn't really refute anything. Unless that blog post was trying yo refute someone who was confusing the two as well.

    The 85% rate quoted for the French in the GGP post is also a marginal rate not the effective rate.

    Slashdot has my real contact information. They are acting as the gatekeeper for my identification, should I commit some heinous transgression.

    Cop out answer. You state that if you really believe what you say you should "stand up, identify yourself". Saying that "Slashdot has my info" is not standing up and identifying yourself. As I said before, you're nothing but a hypocrite and clearly a troll. Stop posting behind a pseudonym and identify yourself. That you won't identify yourself means that according to your own standard that you're just a coward who is no better than a KKK member.

    Youtube's blocking of that video was an effort to save lives. I'm not convinced that the production of the "Innocence of Muslims" wasn't intended to have the effect it had. Perhaps as a people those who are murderously offended by such things need to grow up and get a thicker skin. I'll grant that. But any words, religiously themed or not, which are intended to offend are reprehensible. And I applaud Youtube for taking steps to mitigate the disaster that video initiated.

    Yes it is a great day when murderers can get someone censored merely by claiming the speech as the excuse for killing someone. Lets keep appeasing these people since if we all cower in fear they will never kill anyone again. *rolls eyes*

    Again, they didn't kill because of the film. Almost none of the people outraged by it had even seen it. It was used as an excuse for why they were killing people. Nothing more. If the film had not existed something else would have been used as the excuse. You're ether incredibly naive or stupid to think that stifling free speech in some misguided attempt to appease a bunch murderers is the right thing to do.
