I've got a Sony Ericsson w810i...total convergence phone for sure. First phone I've ever owned that I actually give a shit about. Let me put it this way...being able to throw my phone in my jersey and head out on a trail on my bike, and TAKE CALLS WHILE RIDING...Well, it fucking rocks!!! Why would I ever want a phone again that ISN'T a music player?
Nah, never mind, they're right. Best solution is a dedicated music player, a dedicated cell phone, a dedicated PDA type thingie for texting/network stuff, a dedicated camera...stuff I now use every day...and I'm supposed to carry that all in which pocket of my jeans?
I don't even wear a watch anymore, what's the point?
Speaking of which, I hate what they put in cars these days. I don't want to pay for a radio, cd player, audio jack, power socket, alarm system, air conditioning, etc etc etc...those things have no business being rolled into cars today, it just pushes the price up and ensures that if one thing fails, we have to replace the whole darned thing!!!
Don't know why I'm carrying on, non-convergence is such a crackpot idea it's silly.
So which is it, are you comparing Gimp to PS or Gimp to the entire CS3 Suite?
Paths perchance?
And still you say nothing on the traditional dividing line between PS and Illustrator...why is that perchance? Hmm...maybe because that's where your comparison falls flat on it's face.
Not suggesting Gimp is better or anything...just trying to figure out why you're being such a bitch about insisting it sucks compared to (PS? Illustrator? CS3 Suite? Still not sure here...)...based on a particular feature that actually DOES exist in gimp anyways, yet you insist does not.
I'm simply calling you on being a pedantic bitch for the sake of being a pedantic bitch, nothing more, nothing less.
You've obviously only been using Photoshop for the past couple revisions. It's only really in the CS versions that the lines between Illustrator and PS have been blurred heavily. Traditionally, there was no 'rounded corner rectangle' tool in PS. Don't be all elitist when you obviously haven't a clue of the history of which you speak. Rounded corners are vector based, not raster based. PS is raster based, not vector based. Do we see the picture a bit clearer now?
Further, if you can't figure out how to make a rectangle with rounded corners anyways despite not having a fancy tool to do it for you...I'd highly suggest you stop talking now as you're really starting to show your ignorance.
Win95 - Pinto...need I say more? Win 3.1 - Model T - Revolutionary in the 'mass-production' arena...!= cool or good DOS - Go-Kart made from spare parts found lying around the garage
Those are unenforceable clauses. You have every right to circumvent them for your own use. That'd be like a record company trying to sell you a cd that can only be played in the first cd player it is inserted in...sure, they might try, but it's BS and not legally enforceable.
How a company as stupid as Adobe can make a suite of products as good as they do is beyond me. Shocking really. PS by all rights _should_ be the 'Word' of image editing...ubiquitous, everywhere, the only thing most people would ever use...even more deservedly actually because it's actually a very good piece of software. Instead, most people use whatever cheap free POS 'image editor' that came with their camera or what have you.
Gee, go figure, it's coded to give priority to what you're actually doing rather than reporting on how it is progressing doing so.
You're right, FF shouldn't do anything until the download dialog box is properly displayed, and while downloading, it should stop the process every time it wants to update the download dialog box's progress indicator, just to be absolutely sure you see exactly where things are at.
Man, this thread is completely and utterly FUBAR. What a pile of shit on all sides of all fences. Doesn't make any browser look better or worse, just makes your average poster on this particular subject out to be a complete and utter moron.
'Buzz' means squat. Sales and market penetration are everything.
Sure there's buzz, and buzz can lead to sales, but when it's contained in a niche market...
Apple is dominant in a particular market segment, the 'too cool for you' market segment. Just about no one else cares at all, and rather, a lot of people see Apple and die hard Apple users as elitist techno snobs.
Apple doesn't sell hardware, they sell an image, and most people couldn't be bothered.
Don't get me wrong, they've got some slick shit, but again, that just doesn't matter. Besides, my shit is slick, extendable, reconfigurable, and cost me one piss of a lot less than anything comparably from Apple. And I'm talking home computer, laptop, mp3, and cell phone. (Not that the iPhone is out yet, but for the stated reasons, I'll never buy one)
Image is nothing, unless you care about that sort of thing, then by all the means, step right up and spend your money.
What I don't understand is why Microsoft isn't playing a price war yet. They've got the biggest userbase for this generation, most established games (excluding Wii's ability to play Gamecube games), and they're turning a profit on current consoles sold. Sony's machine costs $800 and putting pressure on them to lower a price point could hasten any future demise... if it's in the cards.
And conveniently not mentioning the PS3's ability to play PS2 and PS1 games.
At the immediate moment, the 360 does have more native games than the other, you are correct, but they lose completely on the total library, they're last place. AND there are more games in the pipes for the PS3 than there are for the 360 last time I checked. It seems very likely, as it's already happening, that just about everything that comes out on the 360 will come out on the PS3 as well, but not vice versa. Just a thought.
A) YOU need self discipline to manage working remotely. No one can give that to you. If you have it, flaunt it. If not, don't even try. You'll be out of a job before you know it.
B) Your company needs to support remote workers if it is going to work at all. Communication is key. If your offices standard way of informing people about service outages is to walk down the hall telling people directly...things have to change. This is poor communication even with everyone in the same physical space, and completely disastrous for anyone working remotely.
If both things aren't met, you're screwed. Even if you've got part A down with no problems, you will be blamed for the failings of part B irregardless of who is actually at fault.
Here here. Working remotely can work very very well, especially for the people that can handle it well.
The problem I've had is managers that refuse to work with employees that work remotely. If your management won't support it, you're screwed, period.
Just happened to me. I've been working at the same place for 8 years. Always worked 1-2 days from home. The last 3 years I've been working 3-4 days at home due to moving farther away from the office. Worked great. Not one co-worker has ever had a complaint. My past manager never had a complaint. People realized that when I worked from home, I tended to work 10-12 hour days, and better quality of work to boot.
Then 6 months ago, new manager. I now know that it was at the very moment he walked in the door that my time there was up, though I didn't realize it at the time. Doesn't matter how much I worked. Doesn't matter how much I produced. Doesn't matter that my work was high quality. Doesn't matter that not one co-worker had any problem working with me remotely. What matters is when you have an insecure control-freak of a manager. I got severed a few weeks ago. Reason given was that things weren't working out satisfactorily with my working situation. At least they were too stupid to think things through...ends up being termination without cause. (Not one single comment or mention of any problem with the arrangement over 8 entire years working there...and we had 2 peer and management reviews every year...you can't suddenly decide 'it's not working out and never was' after 8 years.)
If your management can't handle it, don't even think of trying. You WILL be looking for a job without a doubt if you do. But if you can find a mature and competent manager that isn't threatened by the people working for them...run with it by all means! Up until the last 6 months this was the best job I've ever had.
Are you serious? That is by far the biggest non-issue going with printers. That problem was solved a LONG time ago.
Printers print at MANY orders of magnitude slower than the data being printed can be transferred, manipulated, organized and sent to the print head. This is simply not a problem. The bottleneck on any printer is actual print speed, NOT data availability.
Steve, your showing off your true traits and motivations again.
If you really felt this way, you'd sit back and wait for Google to implode, and then hire all the best ex-google-ites for well under what they're being paid now.
But you're making such a fuss about it...whining really.
Steve here's a hint for you, it's called competition. Look it up some time.
What would really be nice is self-driving cars so that we could do stuff while sitting in traffic. Commuting is such a waste of time and a bore. I've heard about magnetic markers on roads to allow cars to drive themselves. Sonar and image recognition could detect pedestrians and cars in the way.
What you're looking for is called 'Public Transportation'. Look it up sometime.
You're right, here's the 'proper' expected response:
"Well alrighty then, just a sec while I drop my drawers, bend over, and give you nice full access to rape my ass yet again! I'm _so_ looking forward to it! Can't wait to do business with you again! Don't forget a complimentary case of Labatt's blue on the way out!"
There is a very reasonable guarantee that a user that borrows a resource from a library will not in fact make a copy of said resource. Books are not easy to copy. Very few people ever do. It's just not a problem.
Downloading files from a share however, insta-copy every time. There is a big difference. Feign ignorance if you like, but it is what it is.

They just want us all to start talking like James T Kirk.
Oh the horror.
Sorry people, not funny. Why? Because, if that's funny, then so is this:
These go to thirteen.
And then of course:
But this one goes to fourteen.
Not funny. It's Eleven, and if you don't get that, you never got the joke in the first place. Period.
