At my company we work the same way, but we use Photoshop and UltraEdit.
GIMP doesn't come close to Photoshop for images, plus our designer has been using it since V1, so he'd need a huge period of re-training to be able to use anything else.
As to Text editors, if anybody can point me to a FOSS editor that comes close to UltraEdit, please do. We've evaluated loads and the closest we've come for our needs is JEdit, but that doesn't do everything. Please don't reply unless your proposed editor has column mode that works like in UE, including automatic numbering and multi-line text entry.
How is it invasion of privacy when you are filmed in a public place?
If there were cameras installed in my house, I would have privacy issues, but not in the town centre.
No-one has issues with cameras in banks, shops or ATMs. No-one asks tourists to delete photos that include them in the background.
Why is it such an issue in public places if the camera is run by the police?
Does anybody believe there are hoards of analysts checking these tapes for individuals in real time?
Do you believe everybody is interested in you?
Do you believe the guv'mint is keeping tabs on you, where you walk, what you buy, who you talk to, just because they can?
Does anybody actually identify with Mel Gibson's character in Conspiracy Theory? Are we being tracked by the metal strips in our currency?
I believe this is just a mistrust of the unknown thing. In the distant past, our campfire light didn't illuminate the woods, so there were trolls, gnomes, elves and pixies in there. Same thing these days, but it's Aliens and secret guv'mint departments, because we don't know what they are up to.
Paranoia is no way to live your life, relax, you are not the centre of the universe, nobody cares about you, you are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are a member of a mass, you do not stand out.
Unless, of course, you are all criminals and have your faces in the image recognition software that will call down an airstrike from black helecopters as soon as you are identified!
I didn't mean it was the Slashdot story that was attributed to other people, no problem there, if I'm late, I'm late. It was the referenced articles I was referring to, and the delay in the Slashdot story getting posted.
I submitted this story to Slashdot on Friday and on Tuesday, first just with the SPOnG.comstory, then again on Tuesday with other sources.
The SPOnG story has feedback directly from Acclaim employees in the UK. Their forum on the story has a comment from an Acclaim employee that their pension contributions have not been payed since April!
Honestly, do the editors actually RTFA, or do they just see SPOnG and bin it? This is the 5th time I've submitted stories from SPOnG, just to have them appear on Slashdot days later, attributed to someone else, usually GamesIndustry.biz, who re-write SPOnG stories for their own front page.
Well then, "good news, eveyone" as the DVD releases of Red Dwarf (at leas in the UK) are of the original model shot versions. The special features even have some raw model shots for you to gape at!
Plural of virus is viruses, virus didn't have a classical plural form. And if it was pluralised like radius, it would be pluralised to viri (one trailing i) as the rule is -us => -i.
It has to be Steven (Blade) Norrington's uber-stylish monster robot flick. Try to get hold of the UK cut as it has more "extreme" moments with Dante (Brad Dourif).
This film has more in-jokes, references and homages than most parody film even try to get in.

Apparently it already is!
Gopher?!?!
Archie and FTP! Now that was the Internet!
If your Ex had been raped when she was still your SO, would you even be asking that question?
That was, of course, an attempt at humour as I realised I was starting to sound like Tyler Durden.
As far as the guv'mint or police are concerned, "normal" people ARE part of a mass! Don't break the rules and they don't care about you.
> The comedian either used the corporate policies or corporate misunderstanding to make his program.
Sounds like Mark Thomas, and he used misunderstanding all the time to make his show. Like a low-rent Michael Moore, if there is such a thing.
People like Thomas and Moore actually weaken their arguments by the methods they use.
I suppose you'd be happy if police didn't waste time and money trying to track down murderers, 'cos the victim is already dead?
That's the most stupid argument I've ever heard.

That was a joke, by the way.

What is up with this?
And now I have!
My story was still pending well after Gi.b had its own up, I call bias.
I submitted this story as a SPOnG Exclusive at 05/08/04 19:20 BST, over 15 hours before Gi.b had the story up.
Slashdot has a serious Gi.b bias, and they usually just nick stuff from SPOnG.
I always thought it was a reference to the * character, ASCII 42, which in a ls-style wildcard matches anything and everything.
Personally I prefer charater-related navigation, especially if you have to contend with fixed cameras and changing viewpoints.
However, there's no reason not to include both control methods, AoD was made much harder for me by sticking to camera-related navigation.
Yeah, my company is almost exclusivly Java apps on Linux servers.
This is where Java shines, on the server side. And not using Swing!
Maybe they're just going to have Bill sing the theme song!
That would rock!

Bit OT, but there goes;
Plural of virus is viruses, virus didn't have a classical plural form. And if it was pluralised like radius, it would be pluralised to viri (one trailing i) as the rule is -us => -i.
See This page for details.
That's not a Britishism. It's an idiotism.
The singular is correct in British English.
This one 133132 is the worst for me. I have to reboot about once or twice per day.
Of course, I have my PC on 24x7, so this may make things worse.
Actually, not all countries have a Zip/Postal code system. Ireland, for example has not got such a system and addresses use city name instead.
As many people here have already said, designing a system to take worldwide addresses is a pain.

Aaaaggh! GET IT RIGHT!!!
Cyberdyne Systems Model 101, Series 800.
Nowhere in the films is there mention of a T800, this was invented sometime around when the T1000 was mentioned first.
Sorry, major bugbear of mine.
