If they would follow from Adobe to the actual test page, they'd see that the Dell wipes up the floor with the Mac on Photoshop tests, too. Not by such a drastic margin (4.5v7.1s, 35.1v62s, and 3.4v4.5) but how does the AE bug apply there, hmm?
iPhoto is nothing at all like ImageReady. IR is for web graphics (rollovers, GIF animations, etc.), iP is for image capture and management, more like PS Elements (El Cheapo that ships with scanners) or Adobe's new album thingie.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. They're using decimal minutes which, while odd, is not inherently wrong or evil. In this image http://www.adobe.com/motion/images/video_composite.gif you see 1:25 represented as just under 1.5 minutes, which is the case. 25 seconds is a shade under.5 5 minutes, aka 30 seconds.
FF did better with "less than perfect" people (like the old guy and the judges/senators/whatever) and their splotchy skin because it looked a lot more natural than the younger characters and their impossibly smooth skin. A few shots of the old guy really jumped out at me because suddenly it looked *perfect*.
Anybody can download the product for free and use it for whatever they want, but in so doing they become ethically obliged to share any modifications with the company.
ONLY IF THEY WANT TO REDISTRIBUTE THEIR CHANGES!!! &*%$#@*#&$%, do we have to go through this every time?

Visit http://store.apple.com/ then click the 'special deals' red tag in the lower-left corner. Bang, Apple-refurbed products, most notably the $800, 600 MHz iBook. It might be heavier than you want, but the screen goes to 1024x768, and at that price, it might be worth looking at again. Also, 22" flat panels for $1349. woo hoo! Otherwise, hit eBay for a used VAIO.
Hi there, hope you're still reading the thread. OK, I have a brand-new 800 MHz iBook running 10.2 and an 8x loupe. I've read this page http://grc.com/ctwhat.htm and the graphics on the screen look exactly as they should and I know what I'm looking for.
You can change the antialiasing settings in sys prefs -> general and open a finder window to see the effects. (The best way to confirm something is happening is to turn antialiasing on and off by changing the threshold to turn off font smoothing.) I've tried every setting but all I see are plain grey pixels, no subpixel action. The standard-light-medium-strong are similar to the text settings in Photoshop and just control the amount of grey used.
I've always thought she was *really* cute. She and Hank Azaria were both on the Fox sitcom "Herman's Head" for the year or two it was on. There was even a joke once--on the show, she said something like "People keep saying I sound like that Lisa girl on the Simpsons!" She was also in Maximum Overdrive and had small parts in a few other movies, too.

Maybe withdrawing all paper cash $5 and over, converting US dollar bills to a system like Canadian $1 and $2 coins for small change needs? Coins are much more convenient than paper that gets folded, spindled, mutilated, torn, etc.
No way. I love the fact that I can carry $1 to $500 with just a few pieces of paper in my wallet. OTOH, I *hate* coins ratlling around in my pockets as I walk. And seriously--how often are you persoanlly inconvenienced because your money is "mutilated, torn, etc."? And 'folding' is a bit of a stretch--it's money, not a photograph! The fact that it can be folded is the best idea in the universe.
Laptop batteries recently started coming with a little button you can press to make lights light up to show you about how much charge is left. Will the new cards have something like this? If you can't look at money and know, down to the cent, how much you have, then what you're carrying is not money.
Offtopic?!? It was a *joke*, get it?!? See, I'm at work, and the article is about employers monitoring web stuff, and I'm trying to download... ah, forget it. Eesh.
... I'd like to beat persoanlly for being a larger hypocrite than usual. everyone knows that every single thing our reps vote on gets traded like Pokemon cards--"I'll vote for your gun/abortion/whatever bill if you vote for a new dam/highway/whatever in my home state."

I agree: 'funny', while good, should be kept to questions 11 and up. (Although I agree with another replier, his answer was good.) And, for those that don't know, Guy Montag was the main character in Farenheit 451. (I knew it sounded familiar but had to look it up.)
server's hosed. I keep trying to get it and I get a good rate for a while, then the cxn dies. OK, *this* is what would make me willing to pay for a subscription--if stories went into the subscribers area 1 hour before showing up on the main board. At least when big downloads are involved.
I strongly disagree. No, it's not perfect for *everyone*, but what about the 400 Macs I help manage, which will all be running OS X within a year? We've got a 10/100 LAN in place that goes unused about 14hrs/day, and all these new Macs with 20 to 80 GB drives. (Today's entry-level G4 holds 60 GB; our current order is for 120s.) We've already started looking at something like this, since we've got more free disk space on the floor than total server space. So, let's se--security? check. Speed? Got it. Availability? You betcha. OK, we're ready. Here's to hoping it lives a wonderful life, rather than die a horrible death. Just because you can't back up all your DivX's over your dialup connection doesn't mean this is no good for anyone.

Well, considering that there's _no_such_thing_ as a PIII/400... the last PII and first PIII were both 450s.

I agree. Nothing is faster than a one-day-old installation of Win95 on a P233.
Wow, you must have spent more on Windows and Office licenses than the boxes themselves are worth. ;-)
Taco, et al, I think you should hire this guy. Make him a nice shirt that says "I are a slashdot editer."
