That's right, kids, for only $100, you have the opportunity to hold your true parentage over your mom's head. With that kind of power, you can do anything you want!
If you really knew what Photoshop could do, you'd change your tune. Doing things like dodging & burning, etc., are _orders of magnitude_ more precise with digital images over analog, and there are things you just CAN'T do with analog that you can with digital. It's not even close! You're so far wrong I suspect you're a troll, really, but whatever.
The only big area where digital loses out to analog for now is in making large prints. But for prints of 8x10 or smaller, analog still loses out in colour photos.
Feel free to check out some reviews by professionals on what a camera like the Canon EOS-1Ds can do before you spout more nonsense.
The thing is, using something like Photoshop, you can do EVERYTHING that you can do in a darkroom, only a lot more, and a HELL of a lot more precisely. Film nuts just don't seem to want to admit that.
For me, the biggest thing holding me back from digital is that full-frame SLRs are still WAY too expensive for me to afford the upfront cost. I'm really into wide-angle photography, and full-frame is the only way to go. When full-frame SLR costs come down, that'll be one of the biggest remaining barriers left for many current holdouts.
The thing that gets me is the weird need lately to 'reimagine' things. Even if you do so successfully, what was the need in the first place? If you're going to change something that drastically, just name it something else and don't try to play off what came before - you'll just end up alienating the fans of the original. (Hello, Mr. Burton. Yes, I'm talking to you.)
The biggest problem with this 'reimagined' version of BG, IMO, is that it means there's virtually NO chance now that Richard Hatch's true-blue sequel will ever get made, now. *sigh* I doubt even the Commander Cain-based one will get made, either.
I haven't seen this version, yet (no SF channel at home), but I don't see how it can compare to the original - unless Rick Springfield gets blown up in this one, too.:)
*Boom* "What was that?" "That, Mr. President, was my son."
That's what you get for wanting Jesse's girl, punk. hehe
Well, what the hell is an 'outside executable,' and how should the _OS_ be able to figure out that's what it is? The application (e-mail client in this case) is the only one that would know where (relatively) the executable came from, and whether it's been virus-scanned or not.
> If people open executable attachments in Outlook, it's the fault of the application, not the OS.
Hardly. It's the fault of the person opening the executable attachment. Sure, it's _more_ the fault of the app than the OS, but you've gotta be smarter than your application.
I hate to bring this up, but it takes years to be good at HTML, as well, and most of you absolutely SUCK at it even with that amount of experience. *sigh*
If you program in C, you probably suck at HTML. (Yes, I know, the truth hurts, but so will the Troll or Flamebait mod this post will get, despite being Insightful *shrug*).
Worse than that is when your Mom finally gets online and not only needs tech support all the time, but constantly sends you 10 year old, spectacularly-unfunny 'jokes' via e-mail all the time, despite repeated pleas to stop.
Even worse are the 'inspiriational', totally-irrational Christian-themed stories via e-mail. Ugh. Jesus, ole pal, your followers are both tacky and stupid. Please bring them on the Rapture ASAP! *sigh*

An electron, a proton, and a neutron walked into a bar which had a sign, "All drinks $1.00." The electron said, "Hey guys we only have $2.00 among the three of us". The proton said, don't worry there is no CHARGE for the neutron. The electron said, "Are you sure?" The proton answered, "I'm positive."

Mmm, no. No vast robot army for you. You're too eager. :)
Hey, whassup with all the geek girls coming from Sweden these days? I can't swing a virtual cat without hitting one, anymore.
Not that that's a bad thing. I'm just sayin'.

Poor thing. Perhaps you could get it another Mac to play with?

I wonder if the Pigs in Space helped out on this mission?
That's why I list all that under 'Technologies,' rather than languages. :)

Them sneaky Martian evil-doers are getting more tricksey in their attacks. I tip my hat to them. Well-done!
They should make that a default configuration option, the '-mother' switch. :)
"Click here if your mother sends you e-mail." hehe
Get the box set, with both "Patricide for Dummies," and "Matricide for Dummies." You save money buying both at once.
Hmmm, I wonder what the word for killing any ole Luser is? Aw, probably 'suicide.'

You should perhaps not 'read' more into text than is there.
The 'digerati' are the ones who are creating the breakable DRM schemes, you know. Not everyone gets it, even the otherwise techno-savvy.

And that's just _sad_.

And it took Apple's _PhD's_ to figure this out. Hilarious.
Shut up shut up shut up I can't believe you don't shut up!

dot.com go boom; ask my bank account. I can no longer afford this book. :(
Strangely, the scientific fact that women are evil doesn't make me want them any less. *sigh*
Women...can't live with 'em, can't work 'em over with a tire-iron.

Ah yes, there was a popular book on this subject, "Men are from Mars, Women are Evil." Great book.
