I do web graphics. If I did graphics for a movie Industry, or other, id use an IRIX box, and SGI's software. Not photoshop. I can do most of anything on Gimp, whatever I need to do, i can draw it up in gimp. Even If I have to mod it pixel by pixel, which I have to do sometimes. Photoshop isn't really professional, its a 'tool', not really a major rendering suite. Compared to some of software Ive seen for doing 3D, photoshop is a cheap ripoff compared to them. Im a BIG SGI fan when it comes to 3D modeling, take Jabba the Hut for example off of Star Wars, that was done with an SGI box. So was the stuff on Lost in Space, and X-Men. The animation morph on X-Men was done with Gimp. And the character sequence was done with SGI's software. (dunno wich one they used). Ive seen both Gimp, and photoshop used in strange places, but photoshop never really amazed me.
Not to mention, where I work they guy there uses netscape in 'windows'. It throws commercials at his email client.:) Its actually funny to watch him 'click out of them' so that he can fetch his email off the server.
I for one don't pay for software. I have no use for a closed-source OS that throws ads all over it's desktop, and games that run slow under somthing like directx.
X-Bs0d-x isn't going to change anything. Its slow.
Put it on your resume that you will not sign such documents, and will not be held accountable for not signing such documents. Make the company sign a form with their signature that says they shall not present such a document at the time of employment. If they do present one, then the document they signed will say you can in no way be held accountable for not signing such a document.
Then their non-compete form will be invalid in court.
Just remember if it can be made, it can be hacked.
Im sure that Linus, RMS, and Alan will work around it in the kernel. DVD's CSS 40bit encryption was cracked, this wouln't be much different. Hey, even M$ was against this idea. I don't see this happening with HD makers.
I agree on that. I don't run wine, and don't like my laptop bloated down with it. Thats why I don't run WP 9. I run StarOffice 5.2 instead.
I had to comment on this. Its my nic !!!

It looks to me like a software failure, as in a 16bit OS failure. Look up 'windows sucks' on napster and you will find Billy's personal BSOD from Comedex.
Face it, windows isn't stable. Its a 16bit outdated load of crap.
Damn strait. Im tire of putting up with Bellsouth.
They don't offer services to ANYONE. Not only that but I called them a week ago to fix a problem, they said wed, but those assholes havn't been out here yet. Ive already filed 3 complaints against them.
Radio stations make their money off of the ads they do. They only pay for their license to broadcast. Then they buy the new cds as they come available. They don't really pay anyone to broadcast.
Wouln't it be somthing if M$ did use linux in the source? Then after someone cracks open the windoze source, and proves linux's code exists within it. Then M$ could face the courts and be forced to open its source, simply because Linux is under GPL.
So let me get this strait. After reading this article, and the replies, it seems that everyone here is FOR the people being arrested. But yet, you people are for DeCSS?
Actually I have every Metallica CD ever made. From Kill em all, to Load etc... Ive have already paid for the CDs, I have the right to download music produced by this band in a mp3 compressed audio format. You can't sit there and tell me you are for them being arrested, and then sit on your ass and do the same thing downloading 40 songs a day with a 10 gig hard drive dedicated to mp3s. Hell, most people on napster have a partition, or hard drive dedicated just to mp3s. Don't lie. Because from the repies I have read, it indicates that NONE of you use Napster.
Look to thine own eyes first.
If you mod me down just because my opinion is different from yours, then you can kiss my American, Rebel, Solaris using, mp3 downloading, opennap using, Xine+CSS DVD viewing ass.

I don't think anyone really cares about '2 features of photoshop'.
I do all my work with gimp. I have no reason to spend $150 on a software package, and $200 on an OS just to use '2 features'.
Why not make windows applications run on Linux?
I don't own a closed source OS. I have no use for one.
It informs people about OpenSource and what it is.
Its good to be aware of the OS environments around.

Correction. If HE has already licensed it, and its under the GPL under his name. He does own the rights to it. End of story.

Im sure you think that broadcasting music over radio is 'pirated software' too don't you?
More like the LEAST stable.
I don't see "windows 2000" or "NT" on netcraft
on the longest uptimes list. Do you?
"Is this what 2001 will be like? I can only hope."
No. It will be a space odyssey. Remember?
No. Its the harder he sqeezes the more customers will slip through his fingers.

Xine + CSS. Its hard to beat if you have a >=800mhz system.
Well, I have a 1980 GMC 1500 that will kick the shit out of a vette.. Because it has.
