  1. Re:CMYK is irrelevant on GIMP 2 for Photographers · · Score: 0

    Two comments about GIMP:

    1) There is no support for color management.
    2) No support for 16 bit.

    Item 1 is really critical.

  2. Mosaic... on Alternative Browsers Impede Investigations · · Score: 0

    ... is the only true browser.

  3. Re:Can I just ask.. on Professional Photographers Using Linux? · · Score: 0

    I looked at this one... However it does not build with with GIMP 2.0... look at the site:

    Last changed on Sat Nov 23 13:29:58 2002

    It is probably still gimp 1.x code!

  4. Have you tried iscan? on Professional Photographers Using Linux? · · Score: 0

    Epson-Kowa have scanner drivers for Linux. I use iscan. It seems to get a better color balance than xsane. However, it can only create 8-bpp files, unlike xsane that can get 16-bpp. Look here: http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.ht ml

  5. Fraud - Look who's talking! on Report Claims SCO Intends to Charge IBM with Fraud · · Score: 0

    It would seem that it is SCO that has attempting to defraud IBM. That has been the pretext for the whole law suit against IBM.

  6. Re:Cue::Cat on Lexar JumpDrive Password Scheme Cracked · · Score: 0

    Just send Amazon a shoestring.

  7. So where have you been for the last 3 years... on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 0

    Really guys, this is an old one.

  8. So Where Is It? on Commercial DVD Software Comes to Linux · · Score: 0

    I checked the Cyberlink site. No mention of Linux in the Product Requirements. All Winblows. Did a search on their site. Nothing.

    This must be a bogus claim from Turbolinux... Are they running under Crossover or Whine?

  9. MS Greed on MS Rails On Open Source, Appeals To Gov't Greed · · Score: 0

    That should read MS greed.

  10. ...But it's Ok to Sue IBM? on SCO Volleys to Red Hat · · Score: 0

    So it's Ok for SCO to sue IBM but it's not Ok for SCO to be sued.

  11. Pattern Recognition on Can You Raed Tihs? · · Score: 0

    This is not unusual. If you practice speed reading, you do not read out each letter of a word as you reading text. You are trained to look for patterns of words and phrases.

  12. Looks like SGI code to me... on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Hmmm... I see that the copyright says:

    *
    * Copyright (C) 1992 - 1997, 2000-2002 Silicon Graphics, Inc. All rights reserved.
    */

    Looks likes SCO is trying to hijack SGI's code and claiming it this theirs.

  13. Isn't WinME an Oxymoron? on Ballmer Sends Wakeup Call to Staff · · Score: -1, Redundant

    ... shouldn't that be LoseMe.

  14. So... if it works then nothing needs to be done. on Running a Research Lab on Free Software? · · Score: 0

    Does that mean that just having windows means that the job has been done?

  15. ... because the Iraqis stole on The Changing Definition Of 'Kilogram' · · Score: -1, Troll

    some grams.

  16. I Wonder Why? on Ballmer Sells Part of his Stake in Microsoft · · Score: 1
    I saw this one on CNBC TV last night. It set me off thinking...
    • Perhaps M$ is not looking so good with threats posed by Linux and Open Source -- I don't think so.
    • That evil plot hatched by SCO.
    • Then there was that story about SCO and Microsoft documents going to the shredder.

    I never did like this guy. That video of Ballmer prancing about a stage like a baboon a couple of years ago did not impress me.
  17. Re:Seems ... on California EULA Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Why the web site? The EULA should be displayed on the outside of the box... in normal size print that can be read without a magnifying glass...

    You would also need to have a box larger than a cereal box to read the license!!!

  18. Not Globalization... Sell Out on Giant Sucking Noise · · Score: 1

    If we want to keep the jobs in the USA we should look at making use of USA resources and not looking at who else can do the job.

  19. Re:MS is hurting on Migrating Your Office from Windows to Linux? · · Score: 1

    If the old package works then why upgrade?

  20. Charity is Illegal on More Mayhem From MSFT's Mundie · · Score: 1

    Does that mean that Microsoft want to make charitable contributions illegal?

  21. Re:This might help on Homemade Digital Picture Frames? · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember that about the time that the LTE Elite came out, there was another laptop that allowed the LCD screen to the folded back over the keyboard base. I don't remember the name, but it might eliminate have to remount all the parts.

  22. Re:Plea for peace on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 1

    Crappy security... Probably not... Maybe the terrorists were armed, maybe not... Get enough people on a plane and you can overpower anyone with or without guns, bombs, explosives and the like.

    Anyone who is determined enough can defeat any security measures you might put in place...

    Did you hear about a South African Armory that was broken into? The big thick steel door was not touched... The villains chiselled out the mortar and bricks at the side of the door to make a hole big enough to crawl through.

  23. Re:Eye opener. You must be joking on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 1

    Strange how you like using an AMERICAN invention... the Internet.

    Strange that the US did not want to get involved in Yugoslavia... blame the Brits for getting us in there.
