I don't know how Adobe could start to pull Photoshop apart without seriously alienating some sizeable portion of their customers.
Plugins. Stare at the splash screen the next time you load Photoshop or any other Adobe-created app, or look in the Required and Plug-ins folders under the app's folder, or look in Help | About Plug-ins.
Adobe already compartmentalizes to produce their trial software, and different versions such as Photoshop Album/LE/Elements/whatever which removes CMYK, some file formats and other print functionality through plugins and user-inaccessible runtime configuration (the resource forks of yore). Modularizing/profiles would have the advantage of not loading the pre-press and language tools cruft to memory when I need a web workflow, and not loading the web optimization cruft when I need to do a cover.
I've had the pleasure(?) of stripping down InDesign 2 to run well on an 80 MB PM4200 by ditching non-used items form Plug-ins and experimenting with removing items from Required. Adobe (which has documentation about their own modules) can certainly do something similar if they wanted to for any/all of their apps.
Six-plate 300 dpi weren't a serious problem in the late 90s on B/W G3s with less system memory than current video cards have VRAM, so 300 dpi certainly shouldn't be any worse on hardware with 10x the numeric specifications in every aspect. 2900 dpi MF scans however...
Unlike almost all other PC hardware makers and brands, Apple has the advantage that their kit is still a universal status symbol. No other single brand (other than perhaps Hello Kitty) has as much simutaneous respect cutting across cultural and age groups, including goth kids, geeks, lawyers, artists and other professionals. When was the last time you saw a Dell sticker on a skateboard or a car?
A Windows API on OS X would flip the non-techs (majority of the population) who currently value Windows compatibility over status but want both and can afford the price premium. At the moment, bootcamp and parallels are still too difficult for the large majority of users, just as VPC was before.
I did not state that clear writing is irrelevant, only that perfect writing and meaningless details (in context) are not necessary for communication and the exchange of ideas. I will say that the OP's writing was sufficiently precise and accurate in that it conveyed its intended meaning, which is in evidence as this discussion is about the details of form of the conveyance of that meaning.
This isn't (yet) a global Anglosphere. You can continue to flame away at details that do not detract from the communication of ideas and knowledge if you'd like, but don't be surprised if many other intelligent people who use less than perfect English (in your sense) pass you by in both the business and academic worlds.
Also, you are free not to participate in discussions in which the participants, in your opinion, do not use a perfect form of your local English. Everyone would be less frustrated and more productive that way.
English is fluid and there is no/. style guide for story comments. In terms of conveying intended meaning and being well formed, even without your suggested changes, the post about which you complain is likely among the top 1-5% of all posts on the Internet anyway.
One of the most valuable things one should learn from advanced study is that the ability to ignore irrelevant details leads to a better understanding of the big picture system. Thank you for illustrating that point with a great counter-example!
Teaching blind trust in authority figures will cease as soon as fake cops con their way into destroying a major public facility from the inside for the second time.
1) Detecting and removing a mine are different challenges. 2) This has the potential to reduce the total number of mines deployed if the miners deposited non-explosive objects that give off the same radio signatures.
Been there, done that. $6,000 in repairs and replacement parts for a $1200 G3 iBook and $300 extended Applecare warranty finally turned into a replacement. Then it happened with my 14" iBook G4.
I'm beginning to think they weren't designed to run for months at a time without powering down.
Bill Gates is on BRK's board of directors. By the end of the donation BMGF will own something like 30-35% of BRK. There are many opportunities for unkuth activities here, but many more opportunities to do good.
If you think client patches are bad, try OSX server.
Indeed. I'm posting from 10.4.6 Server right now, and it's fantastic. Patches are good almost without exception, and the same techs are generally well versed from iPods all the way up to Xsans. Perhaps you experienced a piece of bad hardware?
What the hell did you people worrying about babysitters do ten years ago?
Cell phones have been around in North America for about 20 years, and pagers for slightly longer. Before personal electronic communicators, parents left the numbers and locations of their evening plans with the sitter.

She does now thanks to myspace, and for that she (or, more likely, her mother), returns a lawsuit. It's a great way to divert attention from any lack of education in life.
This looks like an interesting cross-platform RAD tool for web-enabled DB-driven apps. Thanks for the link. Don't know why it was modded down though...
Congratulations for refuting a position you contrived and mis-attributed to the GP with your expert knowledge from the bandwidth-management trenches at MacDonalds...
The GP post was discussing torrenting porn, which: a) can consume much bandwidth both ways, b) may open up the business to sexual harassment issues and a hostile work environment, c) may be illegal.
As for your ideas, sucking down 2 MB of/. a day (70 bytes per second over eight hours) stuff the network connections much less than streaming, torrents, Skype, etc.
And what happens when the oceans abrorb that CO2, they become more warmer..... Thus creating even more hurricanes and storms and killing more and more sealife.

Wrinkle: Entities chartering universities and other educational institutions often give regulations originated by those insinuations the force of law as applied to students by administrators. So, while the University of Foo cannot try a student for plagiarism in state or federal court, the university can convene its own judicial proceedings and make findings of fact and punish students. Plagarism is often included in such regulations, and therefore, is illegal for the limited purposes of the academic setting.
Students could be much better off if plagiarism was illegal since that would offer transparency and consistency to private tribunals that are often convoluted with regulation and politics that unfairly exceed the reasonable comprehension of an average student. As long as no lawyers or advocates outside the University of Foo administration fully understand the regulations of the university, students will remain at a disadvantage on plagiarism and other claims.
