psychotically addicted? Hmph, as anyone who's ever spoken to REAL graphics artists will know, the GIMP is a piece of trash. As a graphics artist I find its feature set sorely lacking. Addicted as they may have been they probably only used photoshop in a limited capacity if they found switching so easy.
You seem to think that photoshop only has a few features which the gimp does not. Photoshop has so many more features that its rediculous to even compare them in the same category.
Can GIMP do ant-aliasing as well? NO Can GIMP handle Vector shapes? NO Can GIMP handle the new advanced brush textures in PS7? NO Can GIMP handle print graphics (CMYK)? NO Can GIMP smoothly interoperate with other powerfull graphics apps? NO Can GIMP automagically generate SANE reading HTML for quick web prototyping (don't diss the WYSIWYG in photoshop till you see it, it's not even close to front page)? NO
The list goes on and on. The GIMP is good at what it was meant to do, be a simple tool for editing RGB images, but to compare it to photoshop is incorrect. Even the GIMP (who have done a great job) acknoledges that.
I wonder if anyone has ever seen someone making copies of a newspapers, and giving them away to its friends. The answer is NO. If you want today newspaper, you buy it, because is cheap, and people don't care to copy them to save some cents. And my question is, why are music CD's so expensive? Are musicians more qualified/important than journalists? The answer again is NO.
most science seems to refute most of the events of the bible, but that doesn't matter to most christians who simply agree and say "I still believe in the core beliefs" or who find extremely irrational explanations. As someone who attends church weekly for 2 services (I work at one, though I am atheist) I see a startling number of contradictions and ridiculous events presented in religious text.
You still of course have the right to believe, and i'm not denying that. But I too have the right to believe that you are wholly wrong. Don't think your weak arguments will persuade anyone/
yeah i know, i typed that in under 5 seconds to get FP (that accounts for the misspellings), ridiculous eh? I wish there were a way to vote a comment for meta moderation. In metamod they probably wont' see that it is FP.
You SHOULD delete the headline lest anyone else have their evening ruined by this, or at the VERY LEAST issue a goddamn apology, preferably in cash form.
some people still make them, but unless you want to force people to pay vastly more for their timepieces the art of the mechanical watch is going to become mroe and more rare.
actually its about keeping government agencies and universities connected (DARPA Net).
it's nice to bring your ideas to the table, but the net is all about 3 things.
1. Commerce - self explanatory 2. Self Glorification - Personal web page? yeah like you weren't trying to show off (unless its just a resume which is practical) (btw, i don't mind showing off). 3. Communication - Communicating between different groups for BAD OR GOOD, whether world peace ensues is not the net's concern
i'm guessing that most of the people to view this book online are somewhat aware of the current copyright issues. As such they leap to prove that this can help booksales. But if this ever becomes widespread would people still feel obligated to buy the book? I think not.
and why does it have to be XML? I think an SQL solution would be much more efficient and how exactly are you going ot encrypt all this biometric data? and if its stolen what do you use for authentication?
me thinks this is a troll or someone reading one too many slashdoter posts that read (XML r00olz cuz IT F1x3s 7h3 int3rnet!
...and we all know that the bible is so profound.. Since when does making obscure references make something intelligent (as an atheist the bible is obscure with the exception of the basic stories).
Anyone want to shed some light on the more profound themes in it? are there any? If so how do they relate to christian mythology?
hmmmmm, the linux-gay conspiracy trolls will have a field day with this. I can just imagine what they'll say about RMS's love of "open" systems and they reduction of "backdoors" and the sort.
i think it's called lash, but if memory serves me, there are ways to pickup sound by just wrapping a mic around someone's throat (a thin band) and have it sense them whispering. I think swat uses this.
ok, here's why they won't be adopted, musicians aren't rights activists till after they get famous and their bound by contracts. Second what they hell kind of musician would ever visit a site as dorky as EFF.org, i'm being dead serious, do you guys just not see the problem here!

it roughly means that your right to free speech is allowed until it hurts someone else.
theoretical math majors always seem to have the best insight into philisophical matters...
right?
that's the most retarded (literally) looking mascot ever.

doesn't the dialog in the new trailer look just as bad as episode 1?

i live on the west coast, i was about to watch it, thanks for the spoiler warnings. HOW FUCING STUPID ARE YOU. Thanks for ruining the episode.

i understand that MSN uses hailstorm, does that mean that it's reverting to whatever old tech it had? Or are they keeping the old hailstorm?

Popular science is the same magazine that predicted that we'd be using zero emmisions vehicles by now too.

you have been trolled (not by me mods)
we all know that those who play gameboys frequently lack the ability to produce, or even have a chance at it.
Asexual reproduction maybe?
