Given that after literally years Facebook still can't distinguish between a breastfeeding mother and a pron star gettin' her ya-ya's out, I can't see this going well.
I find myself deeply moved in my faith that God would go to all this trouble to mislead idiot atheists into believing the world is more than 6,000 years old.
I must go at once to donate my children's college fund to Pat Robertson. You go, God!
He delivers a finished product, so that's not really an issue. For example, if you had contracted him to develop a logo for your company, or a whole unified look from letterhead to the sign on the factory and head office building and all your advertising, you'd get it in file formats best suited to your needs, and universally used by the ad agencies and other marketing and media companies yours would deal with.
I don't know that he's ever brought in outside work still in one of Adobe's native file formats, like psd or psb. I would tend to doubt it.
One of my friends is a top level graphic designer. He has simply stayed with a bought-and-paid-for version of PhotoShop...CS5, I believe. There is literally nothing he can't do with it.
His comment about Adobe's attempt to force him to rent the new version and effectively put his business under their control was simple and direct. He said (and yes, this is a quote), "Adobe can go fuck itself."
I've done photography at the professional level and use Lightroom (mostly) and CS2 (for occasions when I have to do serious retouching). This was never an issue for me, because I don't need the newest bells and whistles for what is now more a hobby than a profession.
I echo my friend's sentiments, though. I will never put myself into a situation where Adobe might be able to forbid me from having access to my own work. I can't imagine what kind of idiot would do so.
Why is fixing it Linus' job? He pointed out, accurately, that Intel's fix is for this Intel problem is complete bullshit. The importance of this is that he has stripped away Intel's efforts to portray its fix as something we should accept.
I applaud the man. Linus has proved that the Emperor has no clothes. It isn't his job to serve as his tailor.
The chip cards work just fine everywhere but in the US, it would seem, and have for years now. And where chip cards are in use, theft is down.
You people have to get used to the idea that as far as the civilized nations on the planet are concerned, you are one of the "shithole countries". The rest of the world is leaving you in the dirt.
I can't help but suspect at least some of the problems the professor has observed are the result of creative people feeling abused and undervalued. I know from first-hand experience there's times when an arbitrary deadline can inspire creativity.
How many times have you had a project dropped in your lap with an impossible deadline...again...and you know the only reason is because some committee well up the food chain has been having a month-long stroke fest over how credit will be meted out?
The best, most productive creative work I've done has generally happened when something comes up without warning, and we're asked to please, please, please deal with it.
Actually, it was only one part of me that picked her. Unfortunately, it was getting about 90% of my blood supply at the time, leaving my brain starved for oxygen.
If people are bound and determined to act like sheep, we shouldn't be terribly surprised when corporations treat them like sheep.
What's really disappointing, though, is that so many have come to believe they actually deserve this, and vote in ways that facilitate their further victimization.
So which would be a better solution, come up with a fake on-line ID and use that to comment on an abusive former employer, or just have a friend do it for you?
So oil companies, which are subsidized to the tune of billions of dollars per year, use their unfair market advantage to transport plastic (also made from oil) to Third World countries like China, where it is disposed of in ways that are at best questionable, at worst environmentally disastrous. In so doing, they sell more plastic and more transportation-related oil and gasoline. This is called "recycling", and corporate-owned First World governments allow the situation to continue unchallenged.
People pointing out that transporting plastic to Third World countries is economically viable mainly due to these subsidies are dismissed as "tree-huggers", "eco-warriors" and "Global Warming alarmists".
Petro-chemical companies have been externalizing the cost of manufacturing, distributing and disposing of plastic for decades. They have also been lobbying with great success against even small subsidies for renewable energy generation. And thanks to sophisticated marketing campaigns similar to those that kept the debate about tobacco's health effects going for decades longer than necessary, uninformed and willfully-ignorant voters continue to allow them to get away with this.
Ironically, it is one of those Third World countries, one with a frighteningly authoritarian government, that appears to be throwing a monkey wrench into the petro-chemical industry's smoothly-operating, oil-consuming pollution machine.
I wish I thought this was good news, rather than just an indication that the existing system will simply start looking for different markets for First World garbage.

Hold muh beer, y'all. I gotta go out back of the trailer and fetch granny's skullbone.
You won't be missed.
Such a move would effectively concede control of Low Earth Orbit, and the "high ground", to Russia. Putin will be pleased.
Sorry. My mistkae.

Somehow you seem to have missed the fact that the software he is using is bought and paid for. He owns it. And why would you assume he is angry?
Now why don't you go back to blowing your dog, or whatever else it is you do in your mom's basement when you aren't trying to earn your allowance.

Well, fair is fair. Apparently if you type "goatse" into Google, you're going to see a picture of a conservative.

It's pretty obvious you haven't met my ex.
I'm going to thank both of you guys. I hadn't considered the hemp aspect.
It would all go terribly wrong when there were no more men, and women realized they had nobody to blame for their failures.
PornHub is really slipping. I did a search for "Mad Max: Furry Road" and all I got was some stupid movie with hardly any nudity.

Decisions, decisions...

I mean among the general public, jackass.
