    There should be a little link in the top right corner of you page. If not, you don't have it. I don't.

    Volunteers are under anesthesia so they don't feel the initial burn.
    But I like the fiery feeling in my cuts, you insensitive clods!

    Or am I the one who is insensitive, now that my nerves are numb?

    Ubuntu users have upgraded to the new one I can tell you that I was unable to get an ISO for the first two days. I was running the RC at the time, and Update Manager wasn't even able to download the repositories lists! Installing new software from the (non-updated) repos was hit-and-miss.

    Although that does go a long way in preventing people from making their operating system do exactly what they want it to do.

    Time to look at JWM a little more closely.

    Somewhere between 6-12 months, actually. But I have heard fusion predictions before coming here.

  13. Only 6 years away. on Focus Fusion On Google Tech Talks · · Score: 1

    This has got to be one of the first times I have seen a fusion energy prediction that was estimated to be less than 10-20+ years from being practical.

    Thank you for making that distinction.

  22. Re:What about... on GIMP 2.4 Released · · Score: 1

    IANAGD either, but using CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) can create more colors than RGB (Red, Green, Blue). Kinda like the difference between choosing 16-bit colors and 24-bit colors in Windows. This is very desirable to professional graphics artists who need to create products with vibrant colors. You might be able to separate an image into it's CMYK equivalents, but it is one of the colors that both CMYK and RGB are capable of making. To elaborate on that: the colors Black (#000000) and White (#FFFFFF) are capable of being reproduced in a CMYK image, an RGB image, a Grayscale image, and even a monochrome image. CMYK is better than RGB in much the same way Grayscale is better than Monochrome. If an image is monochrome, a pixel is either white, or it is black. No other options. Grayscale is capable of being black, white, or 254 shades of gray in between. Graphics designers like having those extra shades.

    I am confusing myself and will now shut up. Hope this helped!

    CMYK colors and other functionality that keeps it from being able to replace Photoshop completely? Not to understate all the effort that has been put into it, but something like that does seem pretty basic for three years of development.

    Maybe send a dozen on a semi-legitimate bombing run (meaning they each actually do hold a bomb) and have fighters hanging back waiting to take out anything that shoots a missile at them? I say semi-legitimate because the purpose of the run could be not so much to drop bombs but to bring the AA defenses out of hiding.
