Not just Photoshop. IIRC, Illustrator does (or at least did) this too. Macromedia stuff up until version 4 did it, until Adobe sued them over it. ISTR Dreamweaver did this on Windows, too.
What is worse? Clicking a mouse or holding an imaginary gun and shooting at living people?
I'd say the latter.
I'd say it's the former. The latter will teach you to interact with real people. It will teach you social skills as well as motor skills, with the added benefit of burning off all the sugar you eat while running.
Companies don't "take the time, effort, money and energy to create complicated software algorithms". People do. These people may or may not be employed by companies.
As we retire our shuttle fleet, we also retire our space aspirations.
I read stuff like that all the time. I don't really understand why, because the space program has been delivering one success after another, more and more spectacular.
Sure, all of them unmanned, but really, why would you want to send meatbags into space when current technology allows robots to perform much, much better?
I don't know, you tell me - why is it that we don't see monopolies everywhere in every aspect of life?
Government regulations. When these regulations are rolled back, you get:
Why aren't grocery stores, book stores, restaurants, auto dealerships, and just about every other purchase you make everyday subject to monopoly status, if monopoly is the inevitable end result of any industry's progression?
They're typically being driven out by chain stores. The race to the bottom continues and diversity disappears. After that, oligopolies have free reign.
The difference is one of scope: The BSD license only looks at the individual (and mostly from a developer standpoint) whereas the GPL looks at the bigger picture. In the end, the bigger picture is more important.
Believe me, if we could shut it off, or take a pill to let us have no strings attached sex like guys, the world would be a far sluttier place.
There is always soma, delicious soma. Half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon.
"In the future we'll all (have jetpacks | flying cars | atomic toasters | we'll be living on the moon)" is as much a general idea as the singularity.
Both are expressions of a wide eyed optimism and a believe in unlimited technical solutions. Except, solutions for what exactly?
Both expressions fail to take into account the involved problems with complexity, scale and most importantly, necessity.
Technology may reach a point where it reaches a level of complexity on par with some complex biological systems. This will not lead to the singularity.
AI will not lead to thinking androids; it will lead to better search algorithms, translation software and spam filters. Intelligent robots won't replace us because they'll be exploring the Solar System. We'll grow meat in a vat, maybe organs, but not people.
And while all this is occurring, some folks will still be waiting for the singularity. Like some technology, it will forever be "just around the corner".

Depends on the size of his garage.
Maybe it's bigger on the inside.
"Graphics people" don't use Linux or Gimp.
This is true. They use Adobe software on a Mac. With several floating windows.
Yeah thats how it starts off. First you're like "ooh ahh look at the cute little robot isn't he pretty walking around by himself" .
We were warned.

Onscreen, even. "ELEVATE!"
But then again, maybe you're just an asshole. But the again again, maybe you just like to play one on the internets.

Sometimes, patience is a virtue.

Fries and mayo. Yum!
Or is this "bunch" just a few teenagers going through their angst phase?
Yes, for a sufficiently broad definition of "teenager".
Tattooine? Slap a water-cooling kit like you'd find in a PC on it, or some refrigerator coils.
Do not send it to Tattione. It will be sabotaged by an R2 unit.

Telling the USSR, just for an example, [...]
I hate to break it to you, but the USSR hasn't been around for about two decades.
Or maybe they envision a healthy market for rickshaw drivers.
You rang?
Shouldn't it be \m/icrosoft?

It will give a whole new meaning to the word "bluegrass".
Moreover, we let that fertilizer run off into the oceans where it creates fish kills/dead zones.
A Fishkill may not be what you think it is.
Folks in East Asia will not be happy with your suggestion of drinking milk. Nearly all of them are lactose-intolerant.
Kent Hovindt came up with that idiocy. You could look it up but I should warn you about possible brain meltage.

The singularity is the 21st century's jetpack.
