And here I am typing in this little window when with iBrowse I could hit a button and my full screen editor would pop up. Man, I really miss that feature.
I know I'm going to be terribly offtopic, but have you tried It's all text! for firefox?
It let's you edit any textarea in a webpage by opening your favourite editor (excelent if you try to edit a wiki page using Vim and syntax highlight, even though I usually use it to write some tutorials in BBCode)
And I think I'll be prepared for a full scale human-turning-zombie situation in my school...
Also, with the amount of training I have, I should at least have a +7 to hit with a long sword
(Actual dream, no making up stuff)
I should go to Hollywood, can someone give an airplane ticket and their email? I'll better start "training" to be a sucessful director.
I always taught that god was a worker that gamed on the job.
You see when you wake up in the morning and there is all that fog?
That's god trying to fool his boss by appearing to be working, but to do that he has to reduce the Draw Distance of the game (imagine rendering the universe and all that's in it), so he can get some precious CPU Cycles.
He just leave his game server on while working (I wonder who logins into the universe...)
I tried to use Photoshop once, but I just couldn't get around it.
However, I believe that on Windows machine (at least XP, I haven't really looked into Vista), since there is no multiple desktops, it can get hard to make the search of the windows in the taskbar, when it's all mixed up with IE / Firefox / other browsers windows, Windows Explorer window, etc.
I think that this doesn't happen very often in a multi desktop environment. If you start gimp, and then find yourself with a taskbar full of windows, just send the Gimp windows to another desktop and work from there.
And if you even take the time to learn the keyboard shortcuts, and always use the same settings for several tools, you can even try and leave the control window on a desktop, and the image window on another, and work directly on the image window
Another idea would be to use a windows-manager that has non-overlapping windows. I believe that Ion does that. However, it's interface is more keyboard oriented, so it might not be for everyone.
On other note, I don't think that Gimp will be able to beat Photoshop. On your in school, what is the program that teachers usually use to teach more "advanced" image manipulation (for example, for photographers). It's usually Photoshop (at least, I've been in some weeding, and the photographers always were editing the photos and printing them in Photoshop.
Of course, for more simple manipulation, like changing color levels, contrast, etc. Gimp can be used as a teaching program (my school used it, when I recommend it, since they didn't had the money to buy Photoshop licences), however, I saw the look of desperation on my classmates' faces (some of them I think were pseudo-photoshoper, as in, they mostly dis some tutorials and that was about it. Not that I have anything against tutorials of course:D). I tried to teach them how to move around, and them I noticed something in them. Since it was different from the usual it was automatically labeled as "crap", and much "weeping" happened during those classes (But that also happened when they started learning Flash, so I don't know if I should consider it a Gimp problem).
So I think the Gimp / Photoshop relation is a bit like Linux / Microsoft relation, in the way that while one is learned in schools, most people wont even use the other.
Slashdot Mirror
and actually uses "Micro$oft" - who types that???
I take offence on that, my $ key i$ broken $o I have to u$e the $ key to type Micro$oft or $imply M$.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
Sticking huh...?
Because I already bought them all.
I actually do that a lot (posting "hum..." for example)
I think it's just to try and give the feeling that I'm putting some thought into what I'm writing.
I believe the word you're looking for is LULZ.

This is also my case.

Just my two cents anyway...
Wasn't the Pirate Bay going to buy a micronation so that they could put there there servers?
