  1. Re:Wow, new term: "sneaker net" on Peruvian Teachers Begin OLPC Training · · Score: 1

    I love how you think it was coined because of thumb drives. Just because it didn't originate with flash drives that doesn't mean that they are not part of the current definition.

    So they are diffrent... As long as Gimp, the exported image, and the print all look alike, I don't see how this is a problem. If it doesn't look how the designer wants it, it can be tweaked. I do not expect a designer would be completely satisfied with either default, so he/she would be tweaking it anyways.

  3. Re:Look at it my way on Microsoft or Apple - Who Is the Faster Patcher? · · Score: 1

    The official release has worked great for everyone I know. Well, it hasn't worked great for me. More like it left me wondering "What was it supposed to do again?".

    it's not that hard to get a copy of Photoshop, and Elements is cheap Heh, if one is going to pirate software, it's best to pirate the superior program.
  5. Re:MOD PARENT UP on Adobe Puts Free Photoshop Online · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Please, give a better argument than "OSS rulz!". There are perfectly good non-FOSS software out there that won't require you to give up your copyrights (CS3 is probably the best, but it's not the only one) And in this case, you only use your copyright if you make it available on their public galleries. If you are going to promote FOSS, please argue on its more unique merits (I understand that OOo is better for writing books than MS Office)

  6. Re:This is ... complicated on Adobe Puts Free Photoshop Online · · Score: 1
    Why? As far as Photoshop in concerned, you already lacked incentive to stay with Windows: It's on Mac (and is now purported to be very well supported in WINE). As for not switching to Linux...

    Photoshop Express will be completely Web-based so consumers can use it with any type of computer, operating system and browser.

    Chances of prosecution go from infinitesimally small to nil. And those here with a conscience can set their minds at ease.

  8. Re:Uh, pointless... on Researchers Play Tune Recorded Before Edison · · Score: 1

    What good is recording without playback? None whatsoever. But it is hard to play something back until you have figured out how to record. He just hadn't figured out that step yet.
  9. Re:Not the first, but gets all the credit? on Researchers Play Tune Recorded Before Edison · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not really. Edison was able to play his recordings, which this Frenchman apparently wasn't able to do.

    They hit their better-educated brother in the (non-combat) plane?

  13. Re:Damn. on Rubik's Cube Proof Cut To 25 Moves · · Score: 1

    I dropped mine into a bucket of paint. No wasting time applying paint to each individual surface. Although now that the paint has dried, I still need to cut the bucket away.

  15. Re:Which 25 moves? on Rubik's Cube Proof Cut To 25 Moves · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think all he proved is that a random cube can be solved in 25 moves, but those moves are unique to every starting combo.
    In other words, they are left as an exercise to the reader.

    That's exactly what I did. I am lamenting that they do not use ODF even internally.

    Well that is still 2500 pages more than we need, at any rate.

  21. Re:Can't say that I understand him on ODF Editor Says ODF Loses If OOXML Does · · Score: 1

    Most home users I know are using OpenOffice and saving ODF at home. Lucky you. My family would be very unhappy if saving to .doc wasn't automatic. Nevermind that OOo is free, we had a *ahem* "borrowed" copy of Office XP. It's just too much of a hassle for them to remember to "Save As" when they are going to use a document somewhere else.

    Foxit is 2.14 MB. Not open source and it is a pain to download directly from their website (download.com is better), but it proves that Adobe Reader really is bloated far beyond reason.
