jeez, if anyone out there are using photoshop 5.5 or illustrator 8 and are happy with it, let them - if the tools suffice it's throwing money and computing power out the window overshooting your needs..
Adobe is sinking rapidly with their upgrade features, nowadays the improvements are internalizations of what the best plugins already do. As for the licensing scheme, i think trends like these have a strong gravity that makes you do something just because it is what is done, without examining the consequences, and these are the early heydays of DRM. As for bug free - you can stuff it, try working with hilariously huge files and you'll see what i mean..
If Adobe launched only Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, macromedia pushed Flash mx and Director, linux would find itself swamped in people wanting to shed the claustrophobic greed-soaked straight-jacket of ms-os'es. Okay, the gimp is an outstanding piece of free sofware, but compared to Photoshop it blows chunks bigtime. Not to say i haven't seen stunning art created with gimp..
My flatmate was fiddling with the fans, trying to create the perfect airflow for his athlon1200, and he was drunk as hell, so he forgot to connect the proc-fan connector, but the heatsink was still on. The temperature rose steadily to 93 celsius, and I sat there laughing, but he didnt catch on until the bluescreen came after a couple of minutes. He just gave the computer a rest while he reconnected the fan, and turned it on, and hey presto it ran flawless...
[The good point is there are a lot of Linux users that would like to play games, but do NOT want to install Windows (either pirated or original) because we know where that road ends...]
Where that ends..
You make it sound like windows is really addictive, like a crackOS or something. And perhaps not wrongly so, I've seen XP, and the amount of tweaking it requires to not feel like you are on some freaky circus-sideshow ride, with some evil unseen force pulling the switches, is huge..
But hey, the the day there are true print-quality graphic/layout applictions, and flash/shockwave production tools for linux, I see no point sticking to any version of windows.
I will never be a pet-owner, so why would I want a robot-pet-owner? If this is'nt a blaring warningsign, what is?
We are heading for the fall.. Repent!
Giving LEGO to a child today will most probably cause the child to seize up and just stare at a single eight-studded red piece of if for a few hours before haemorrhaging..
Pokemon will do that to your mind..
kinda like the bootloader thing.
Some of my childhoods best hours were spent with LEGO, and i was stunned when i got a pneumatics set for christmas one year. In retrospect i believe that's were they (LEGO, not my parents) went wrong. They made it more complex and brittle, and suddenly people are displaying LEGO racecars and other sets they built right out of the box in displaycases! And that's just sad...
What is this innovation you speak of...?

The End of Innovation?

· Score: 2, Interesting
"The open source community will never stop innovating." Come on now, surely you don't mean that. I haven't seen innovation in years really (anywhere), and building an eight foot ladder in answer to a six foot fence isn't innovation, that's just being a huge unpopular kid on the way up the ladder expecting to hang out with the other kids, and really be heading for a fall. NEW ideas count as innovation; these are elusive things that have never ever been on the inside of the fence, so you see?, you don't really need the ladder..
If the icon must reside on the desktop if other icons are to be displayed, it should be.. for the first few seconds until a script removes it at the first run of the os. Presto!
Well, i'm a techie and i get completely fuckfaced on the weekend, and not seldom on weekdays.. As a matter of fact i'm drunk right now!
Not on battery though..
Here in norway we had some silly-bitch-can't-take-his-drink-and-almost-died-g uy on the front of the newspaper, just because he drank battery and vodka, that's news?
Damn, no wonder i'm shying more and more away from tv and papers..
Provided this device allows for different paper stocks, colors and hardcovers this is the realisation of one of my long time dreams; Limited or unique books of art, poetry or any other creative outlet that translates into print.
You could even have Premiere dump the frames from a movie to imagefiles, and make a flip-over aninmation version of your favourite film. Add a walkman and you can toss your portable dvd-player in the bin..
I've got a sliderule to gauge the diameters of pipes. And waddayaknow it's great for cleaning pipes too! Nothing takes the resin out of my bowl like this sliderule.
I also got this screwdriver that i've had since i was eight years old, I'm now twentyfour and it's all worn down and ragged. However it now fits into any screws encountered in a computer cabinet (or almost any other screw in electronic devices)..
It's one of the few consumer-items I can honestly say I have put to full and good use.
It's a great idea that lets people go safe of others bodily odours, but it's no excuse for not washing. I'm a complete slob, but i'm a clean slob.
And what with all the mind-control and addiction agents the governments are feeding us who cares about the probable/possible mutations of some measly e.coli's?
We've still got Creuzfeldt-Jacobs to look forward to..

Windows 1984 and up is what it was supposed to say...

The price for convenience is comprehension, and that's hardly a price, more like a prize...
F*CK!
Wow this is the only story i eve got a hard-on from reading at slashdot... except the storys about big iron :)
Ze point is; how much physics does it require to defy the laws of physics?
Oh, and what mind control technique superman uses to keep people from noticing that he is Clark Kent?

Aaah, imagine being a mouse, and getting to reap the benefits of modern medicine years, even decades before the human population gets it..
Damn the smug little bastards.
No, I for one will never be satisfied!
And neither will billions of other operatives standing by to ignore your needs now!
