I tried Gimp out about a year ago and it was atrociously bad. Unusable. I doubt it has radically improved in that short space of time. Still, Adobe's interfaces are bordering on bonkers too. You just get used to it.
You seem to be ignoring the other parts of the Adobe Creative Suite: Illustrator, In Design, Dreamweaver. I'm no fan of Adobe, but Gimp is merely an alternative to Photoshop and a poor one at that.
Hey, I have no problem with a humourous shot at the Vatican, or indeed the seat of any organized religion but when it's not funny...well, best not bother with it. Let's have some funny jokes. But thankfully April 1 is almost at an end and comedic efforts will now be resumed by people who are (supposed to be) better at it - and not on/. We can all breathe a sigh of relief and a good lungful of computer fan exhaust!
No clue about the price of the machine but I think it shouldn't be too hard to find someone offering the service for one-off acetates. There is still a demand for them in certain genres of music where 'exclusives' or 'specials' are highly regarded.
They can be amusing but on the whole there is unfortunately not much display of inherent comedic talent in most of the 'stories'. The whining seems to come from the obsessively geeky/nerdy crowd who can't stand to have their routine altered even slightly. Hell, it's one day in the year. No big deal.
Acetate cutters are still to be had, and they have been around for a long time, so it is perfectly possible to cut a disc if you have the machine. Why do you think it is called cutting a disk in the first place? Cutting the groove is obviously tried, tested and proven to work very well indeed but I can't imagine any real way of printing the grooves.
Huh? If I could afford it I'd buy vinyl records (I used to when I could afford it) and my system is nothing special and cost very little. I just enjoy the experience of playing vinyl. Something wrong with that?
Acetate cutters have been around for donkey's years. At least the early 1960s. Actually I found the prank more amusing than the rest of the lame efforts today.
Well...I was brought up Catholic (not any more!) and would see that as all the more reason to find it funny. The problem is, it's not really funny. Maybe that is why it is really offensive. I am offended by lame humour!
My problem with the Gawker sites, apart from that debacle you link to was that they banned me from two of the sites for making a couple of silly and actually quite innocuous jokes. They will not be getting my eyeballs ever again.
* simpler and smaller than the 'old' one.
* more efficient than the 'old' one.
* The 'new' one should be able to serve more of our needs in a more better ways.
Yes, I want my 'life' to be 'a more' 'better'. Thank 'you' for gouging my brain/. with 'a' rusty screwdriver.
And I NEED redundant 'apostrophes'. 'I' live for them'.'
Considering the FACT that the legal system is peopled by corrupt (stupid) assholes I would suggest that courts themselves should not be allowed. Ever encountered one of these tools?
I rest my case.

Why?
Did you mean 'I doubt this is what the site designer intended'? No sarcasm intended, just want to make sure I understand.
