mmm...since when has the US needed charges to pluck a non-US citizen off the streets of a foreign country? After all, there's "lacunae in the relevant legal frameworks" that allows our agents to "arrest" wanted individuals anywhere else in the world without nary a charge being filed.
I guess the IRS saw the 2.5B dollar haul local cops have brought in since 9-11, and said "oooo look! I bet we can do that too...thanks 9-11! thanks Patriot Act!! thanks terrorists!!!"
heh, I didn't see your post before posting myself - or I simply would've replied to you. The only places on the net using the quote attributed to Newkirk are Scripps outlets, and they're all running the same story by the same author. Check out this.
The only places the PETA president's quote can be found are Scripps media outlets, and they're all by the same author, and they all use the same friggin web template.
For anyone who would actually care about perfect accuracy in these kinds of operations, there are any number of different solutions to achieve the desired, more accurate result.
That sounds like a tie, so we'll have to look at the art's content to determine the winner. Which one depicts Jesus riding to work on a dinosaur? There's your winner.
I read his comment as: "the [pseudo] anonymity of virtual currency technology is what's holding it back". And since there's little context provided in the FA or the vid, I'm going to go ahead and assume Gates' comments referred to virtual currencies in general - not just bitcoin.
Layer effects is actually a specific category of non-destructive editing.
So what? They are features that are listed separately on the GIMP road map, which I cut/pasted into my post.
But hey.... if you want to continue to shell out hundreds of dollars every few years for an upgraded version of photoshop indefinitly, who am I to argue that you should keep your money?
I am more than happy to shell out hundreds of dollars every couple of years for a product that saves me scores of hours of work compared to a free alternative, and I'm just a hobbyist. If you're a pro, it's really a no-brainer.
...nobody's named more than two features that Photoshop has which GIMP does not currently...
Dude, you've named more than two features yourself. Jesus.
Nobody's saying that GIMP isn't a capable program, but for certain things that are quite common & useful for pros (like adjustment layers) the GIMP ain't there yet. The lack of adjustment layer functionality BY ITSELF pretty much excludes GIMP from being used in pro workflows. And as you yourself point out, GIMP will not be able to implement many features until fully ported to GEGL - which is not a small task.
Further, features such as Filter layers, Layer effects, Non-destructive editing, and "Smart objects" aren't slated until after version 3.0 - IOW, not for years. Photoshop has those things NOW.
Ruling against the government in this matter is a career ending move for anybody involved in the decision unless they are have reached the peak of the promotion ladder and are unfireable like the supreme court judges are.
The judges in this matter are in fact appointed for life.
I made no comment on the accuracy of the headline/article at The Moscow Times - only an illiterate moron would think otherwise. I simply found it amusing that cold fjord would cite The Moscow Times to support his position.

There are no charges. The GP is correct.

"Google has no business using camels to 'cutesy up' its data-collection imagery," said Ingrid E. Newkirk...
You are absolutely correct. And I should have read your original post more closely.
Cheers!
There's plenty of analog meters being made every year. Just look at any automobile dashboard.
Your dashboard is receiving a digital signal from the PCM, which in turn tells your *digital* meter where to point the needle.

...like using an AMD K5?
;-)
You're right. I was wrong there.
You obviously have no business posting on /.

The US has been at war for the last decade+, and what have US citizens faced? Rationing? Higher taxes? A draft? Anyone? Bueller?
Here's what Gates actually said:

yawn... so many morons.
Agreed!
Actually my idea would have stopped this release as well as... all of the improper releases of plague samples over the last few decades.
So why haven't you patented the ide...oh, never mind.
Explain how my concept doesn't solve the problem please.
because dogecoin. (you're welcome)
Here is my favorite one.
Thanks!
BTW, a quick google search indicates that the word "conservative" appears nowhere on that site.
You obviously never listened to anything Reagan talked about.
I voted for Reagan.
He'd be the candidate instantly.
Amnesty.
All your media is homogeneous and collaborative with those in power.
???
Feels good to know it's your team doing that, eh?
Remind me...who's my team again? Is it the "Guys who Voted for Reagan" team?
Remember Reagan broke up ma bell.
Yeah, and these days Reagan wouldn't make it past a Republican primary. It's a pretty sad state of affairs.
Prominent Female Game Journalists? They can't be worse than Eminent Bisexual On Line Activists, can they?

It could help catch ... repast
I've always supported the apprehension of meals, especially those from the middle east.
By the way, do tell - what do you think my motives are since you think they are "pretty obvious"?
