thus my link:P i was gonna just link to part 2, but then i said what the hell and put 1 there as well.
i'm not karma whoring:) i read the whole thing before, i'm just sharing so other people don't have to fuck around if they skipped part 2 before, or the entire thing,..
...dave
and it is most definitely not me vs. everyone else, there's about 3 people who have attacked me, you being one of them.
i was ridiculous in that last post and have been in the last few because you guys have run out of things to say so, i was hoping to get the argument to drop...
anyway, i don't care, you all agree with me you just don't realize it.
...dave
i was countering their mac photoshop vs. the gimp point, turdburglar!
wake uP! hello!
yes your karma is very low and you seemed quite proud of it in your sig so i assume you must have trolled in the past and you seem to be doing so now.. you're not even really reading the thread, you're just blathering.
...dave
none of his points are interesting, i addressed his post very well. a point of note, which is useful, especially when reading my posts in particular: lots of swearing != temper tantrum,.. some of us just talk like sailors sometimes.
i didn't 'talk about nirvana', there's a thing called an analogy wihch you might want to look up,..:)
yes, it is too bad. oh well... i still have 4 good CDs to listen to!
...dave
a *very* large collection of stills. using photoshop would be tedious. effects artists have a lot more powerful tools at their disposal for working on film/animation than photoshop.
are you some alternate personality of mine? no i didn't think so. then you cannot know if i don't do as i said.
i/do/ always think about things before i say or type them. the question is just how much? i always at least say 'ok is that proper grammar?' etc. i am not a guest on the jerry springer show, i have what is known in intellectual circles as 'self control.'
the nausea is because you are very pretentious and your phrasing is a stupid person's attempt at sounding intelligent. it makes my stomach churn.
you challenging my thought processes is like a butterfly trying to stop a 777 from taking off.
...dave
rendering is most definitely not image manipulation! and nobody uses image manipulation in movies and such,.. photoshop is fine for magazine ads, any kinds of stills basically... look i know a/lot/ about computer art/graphics/etc. in general. but i do not and never have used photoshop much.. so i do not know about IT.
you misunderstood my last line,.. i do not know about the things i was asking questions about,.. the details of photoshop.
anyway, try reading a little more carefully.
...dave
a lot of big name movies have been using linux for rendering...(Lord of the Rings was recently on/. for just this thing, and we all know Titanic did as well,.. others have but i can't remember off-hand..)
photoshop may run slightly better on macos than windows, maybe, i'm not sure, i wouldn't really be surprised, windows sucks,.. and i've heard differing opinions on whether the gimp is a good replacement for photoshop,.. but in any case, i don't care, because i don't use either. most people don't use either.
if macos really is that much better for that, fine go ahead, i doubt it is noticeable. it really comes down to personal preferrence. be a man and admit it. it's slower for everything else.. and unstable.
OS X will be an improvement... that brings me to a good point i haven't seen anywhere before, will Photoshop be available for OS X? if so, wouldn't that mean that photoshop has been/will be ported to BSD? how far away is a linux port then? does it exist?
i don't use photoshop, as i've said. so i don't know these things.
...dave
my reaction was somewhat automatic, but i always think about things before i say them.
your post is very pretentious and annoying.. your phrasing gives me nausea.
i know exactly what he was saying and exactly what i said in response. there is a difference between exploring all the possibilities (which i agree, everyone should do), and going with alternatives just because that is what they are. ignoring mainstream simply because it is popular.
a lot of popular things are that way because they appeal to the lowest-common-denominator (jerry springer, celine dion, britney spears, nsync, et cetera..)
but there are things which are popular within their fields (red hat) which many people just dismiss because of that property. granted there are flaws and there are good reasons for going with other distros, but there are also good reasons for using red hat if that is what you want to do.
most males like to stroke their own egos whenever they get the chance and brag about how long they've been using linux,.. but it's an entirely separate characteristic to be an asshole about it... so,..
i encourage my friends to give it a try, i know most of them would be happier spending most of their time on a linux partition for their web browsing, even a lot of their game playing,..etc.
the people who want to keep linux out of the mainstream are, i think, in the minority. they are just a very vocal minority.
...dave
was that supposed to be an attempt at satirizing me? it didn't work.
regardless, i was a bit harsh but my post was correct. i'm not analyzing trynig to figure out what their process was for thinking and doing what they do, they admit it was/is because everybody else does A, they do B... so there's no guesswork on my part.
Grow up. Someone posted his reasons for choosing a platform, and you just flamed him without cause.
He uses the common tool for the work he does. For now, it happens to be Windows. Your zealotry was unnecessary in this post and another one I just read up above.
uhh, yeah... whatever. i guess i'm a 'logic zealot'. read his post.
i really don't know how i can explain it to you and make it more obvious than it already was. you are a very stupid person and should shut up.
i didn't really/flame/ him, i just told him he's being stupid. and so was the other guy. their posts weren't saying 'i am using windows, because A, B and C.' they were saying 'i do A because everyone else does B' and that deserves some opposition, that kind of attitude is not good.
your attitude is not good either, who exactly appointed you Supreme Grand Ruler Who Gets To Tell Everyone Else When They Should Post and What They Should Type? grow up? hmm i'm not the one flaming people because i don't understand the thread. i didn't even flame anyone at all, i merely gave them a slap on the wrist.
people like you are the reason/. is no fun anymore.. (you misunderstand everything, because you are dumb.)
...dave
believe it or not you aren't the smartest person in the world:)
this is what i used to do all the time when i had lots of free time (and interest) to spend hacking away on my computer.
i am bored out of my mind with computers now, and want to spend as little time on trivial things as possible (and as much time looking at pr0n and playing games as possible)..
so i let redhat auto-detect my hardware and i use the silly RPMs.. it has always worked for me so far, so i see no reason to complain. i'm well aware how much more efficient and secure my machine could be, but i also know i have no reason to worry about someone hacking in.

Slashdot Mirror
thus my link
i'm not karma whoring
...dave
you'd see that i said it was broken, and it is
sorry foolio, you fail!
...dave
on ars (the ones at the bottom are broken and point to part III), so here they are :
part I
and
part II
these are really good, and very educational!

..is called 'clarification',.. it's required for twinkies like you who like to nitpick.
yes i am done with this because you are boring me with your silliness.
...dave
..to call people morons
i can be harsh but, the stupidity displayed by many people is very grating so, i'm just giving what i get
...dave
.. at least for the next month.
anyway, back to the topic at hand,..
none of his points are interesting, i addressed his post very well. a point of note, which is useful, especially when reading my posts in particular: lots of swearing != temper tantrum,.. some of us just talk like sailors sometimes.
i didn't 'talk about nirvana', there's a thing called an analogy wihch you might want to look up,..

the Parent link is a wonderful thing
*gives self a DopeSlap(tm)*
silly rabbi, kicks are for trids!
...dave
care to elaborate? which post are you replying to,.. mine? the one(s) that were moderated down?
...dave
oh come on, you have to know better lines than that by now...
'Was?! Ich kannst nicht English gesprecht!' (language of your choice, preferrably with proper grammar
'i would help you with that problem, but you see, i'm busy working on my site... www.hotchickswithmonkeys.com, maybe you'v seen it?'
'i'm sorry, i swore an oath and if i touch a windows machine i have to hold my hands into a flame for three hours to cleanse my flesh of the evil.'
while funny that argument is not valid!
...dave
rendering is sheer processor work, there is not much in the way of image manipulation, only math
thank you captain obvious!
hmm i can post at 2 if i want to,.. who's the troll here, again?
i am not 'attacking', i am discussing rather energetically... you have yet to see me attack
now exactly what in my post implied that rendering was anything
nothing. you just can't read between the lines, i didn't say it explicitly, so you assumed i meant otherwise.
...dave
a *very* large collection of stills. using photoshop would be tedious. effects artists have a lot more powerful tools at their disposal for working on film/animation than photoshop.
maybe some still do, but i doubt it..

you are reading a good message out of a bad post... i don't think that was his point at all, i stand by my original post.
i agree with what you say, but i don't think that is what he was saying.
wow that's pretty obtuse but there it is.
...dave
that diversity is bad. it is a good thing... i think i said that somewhere in this thread.
his thought process is *all* i was blasting him for

you're still a user, for which, you get no credit,.. and switching platforms/distros/whatever just to 'stand out' or 'be different' is lame.
do it 'coz you like it best, because it does what you need.. not because everyone else doesn't know about it.
