People say this a lot, but the UI for Adobe's Creative Suite/Cloud apps has always been clumsy and inconsistent and they've always been buggy. That doesn't seem to have improved much despite all the new versions or rolling updates since the move to Cloud. There are some areas where some of the newer applications are better than Adobe, and in some cases have been since day 1, regardless of cost.
That's true. Adobe software is far from intuitive and user friendly. It requires many hours of formal instruction to use effectively. I've often speculated that they do it on purpose to help customers maintain market share by making it difficult for the untrained to produce good results with.
The home page is pretty bad, but just go to the menu top-right and look at the real product pages. Those are fine. In any case, if you're choosing your creative software based on someone's home page, you're doing it wrong.
The site really is awful. One can only assume that affinity is a tiny company and couldn't afford to hire a web developer. It doesn't inspire confidence when looking at their software offerings.. on the other hand, it's only 50 bucks...
Hear hear!
It's astonishing that he thinks a simple "I forgot my password, teacher" is a proper excuse for failing to inform people that they're NOT about to be nuked into oblivion!
It's more amazing to me that anyone would expect a governor to use twitter to notify people about anything. Government folks shouldn't be using partisan websites to disseminate information, they should be using acceptable and established channels. In other news, the governor of Hawaii still hasn't posted to Slashdot on the matter. Maybe the misses are still inbound.. sheesh.
He should have issued a quick news conference and or radio broadcast. If it was more important than that, then the Emergency Alert System. That's my opinion.
If they release a subscription free version again, I'll upgrade from CS6 as I did with every previous update. If something happens that causes CS6 to no longer be suitable then hopefully I'll be able to find a competing software package that is. What I won't be doing is renting computer software unless I have no other choice. I don't rent a computer from rent-a-center, and I don't rent computer software from adobe.
Rupert doesn't get it. The news companies that he owns are some of the perpetrators of the fake news. Facebook paying him when facebook's users post a link to something isn't going to improve the quality.
It would make him some extra cash, but it wouldn't improve anything other than his bottom line.
In some cases they do spread disinformation. However many of the posts I've seen in the news recently describing russian "meddling" in the US election are just cases of the Russians apparently promoting certain facts that they like. Just because the Russians promote those facts does not make them untrue.
Carplay isn't a service. It's a pair of software programs, one runs in your car - the other on your phone. Bizarre. BMW must want their customers to switch to Android, maybe they have an investment in Google or one of the Android handset manufacturers.
Could this also lead to autoimmune diseases, since the immune system is being enhanced to more effectively target the body's own cells. While it's true that the immune system does target cancer cells, this seems like something that could lead to side effects.
I would hazard a guess that these folks are almost certainly going to die from the cancer anyway... Sometimes, you take any risk you can.
You still need noscript on top of adblock+. I didn't believe that until I tried noscript myself. There's a ton of junk that adblock misses. On slashdot.org, adblock+ misses scripts from slashdotmedia.com, stacksocial.com, taboola.com, trustarc.com, ml314.com, rpxnow.com, crsspxl.com, stack-sonar.com, licdn.com, cloudfront.net, truste.com, janrain.com, pro-market.net, fsdn.com. That's the list of domains this slashdot page is loading scripts from, not counting whatever was blocked by adblock+.
People are buying bitcoins because of the increase in price. However, bitcoin has a lot of similarities to a Ponzi scheme. When the value of bitcoins plummets, that trust will go away.
Some are. I'm pretty sure most are buying it to try and hide illegal activities from their government.
It's an old attack, with a son breaking windows and father repairing them. However, since they did it on Internet, maybe they can patent it and make the rest of the scum pay the licensing fees?
A not entirely unreasonable gambit given the state of both patent and copyright law. This time, things didn't pan out - but it has for many many others.
A $50.00 cable package includes a ton of additional commercials. At this point it looks pretty close to 50:50 media/interruptions. I suppose all the sponsor breaks might be useful if your in the market for fast-food, trial lawyers and medication (with miles of scary side effects)
Honestly, I would consider buying back into a cable sub if they did away with all of the commercials. As it stands, cable subs are inferior products at half the asking rate on account of the commercials alone. No wonder everybody pirates like crazy.
I'd rather read a book.
This exactly. I'd be on cable like white on rice if they'd get rid of the damn commercials and make it as easy to use as kodi type systems. I'd even pay more than cable costs now for that.
It's not just that pirates are cheap, it's that alternative services are superior.
Sure, it sounds like it, because they oversimplified the problem. One issue with engineering education is that in order to make problems solvable, they teach you to make a lot of assumptions to simplify the problem. It's a useful tool for making control systems on a small scale, but for more complex systems like biology(even single celled organisms), politics, economics, weather, climate, psychology, it doesn't work. I think this disconnect leads to a lot of arrogance(I myself had to learn the hard way) about what we have the ability to control or even predict. I think this arrogance, the over simplification of complexity, is largely why engineers tend to be the most likely candidates for terrorism. They have immense power to understand and control simply systems, so why not big complex systems too? https://www.washingtonpost.com...
Sort of. The article starts by talking about terrorists, but when they get into talking about engineers specifically they shift to talking about "leaders of extreme right-wing groups".
In other words, that article is political propaganda that we've become accustomed to seeing from the Washington post or in Slashdot terms: "nothing to see here,move along."
forcing some users to reset their devices to factory settings, causing users to lose data along the way.
I'm out of touch; my phone runs 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
But I don't get it.
Resetting to factory settings doesn't erase the SD card, does it?
If so, pull it out before resetting.
Not unless you're an apple fanboy looking for a reason to complain online...
Actually, one of them was okay with it. He cited the fact that he already had an account as his reason for not caring. The other shared details of a now dashed plan to set up a domain for his cat.
Whoa wait, I saw this on CNN and now AC is telling me it's not Fake News?!? Are the Russian hackers funding this with Ukrainian ransomware campaigns or not?
Often, CNN will present misleading aspects of real news to serve their agenda. Sprinkling in a healthy amount of truth is the best way to sell a lie after all.

I was under the impression that GPU's were too feeble for miners these days, the real action was using ASICs.
Am I wrong?
Those do okay on cost and efficiency. In a quickly dwindling market, I think I would prefer the power necessary to generate BTC faster.

I know nothing about him other than the fact that it would be great to have the news reporting about Booty every day.
is that some kind of euphemism for a blue screen or bricking?
yes
I think they're stock price may have every 18 months.
and then you can't even?

"Journey to the Centre of the Moon" ...through a series of tubes.
There have been tubes through the center of alien worlds since the NYC subway opened years ago.
Obviously this isn't a problem for folks who care about computer security as it only impacts OSX.

Just what nobody wanted.
It Went and is now Gone.
I was going to ask about that. I didn't think anyone was still using GO. 8 years is venerable for a "fashion" language.
