the results may very well surprise me, if only i could read them, maybe indexed PNG would've been a better choice, but even then i'd probably still need the FireFox image zoom extension to make out the bloody legend.
do the trick quite nicely, though i supose they don't help unless people know what they wan't to search for.
it's very strange the tendancy for random word searches to turn up OSS projects, for instance, pathological gives you a rather nice puzzle game, putty gets you the SSH client.
or check the Headers for "Ducky Adobe" to verify whether it has been photo$hopped.
i guess the thing about digital cameras is that the purpetrators expect to be able to laugh at their evildoings and then erase the evidence, no need to let film out of trusted hands.
i've got the wonderful feature of sound effects from my box when performing just about any GUI operation you care to mention, i originally thought that it was a monitor issue, now you tell me my privacy is at risk because of it!
Isn't that just micro$oft shooting themselves in the foot? they thrive on OEMs and piracy, even if no individuals conciously purchase their software it still manages to dominate the market.
TheOpenCD, as well as being a collection of Free software for windows, includes rather a lot of information about OpenSource and Free Software, the idea being to help users understand why its free, and why they should care.
Crappy computer? With an 800Mhz processor and 512MB i don't see why it should be challenged by Mozilla with 50 tabs, 800MHz is plenty fast enough for me, and 512MB of RAM is ample, though i supose it is crippled by the OS,
This longhorn PC prediction sounds more like a Micro$oft wish list to me;)
As for MyIE2, i don't mean to flame, but i can't understand why you'd want to add all those features to a browser and not replace it's braindead HTML renderer.
I would love to, i'm afraid i've got other things that i need to put some effort into though, that aside, Grokking the GIMP needs updating, and the GIMP's online help still needs some work.
I'm not oblivious to the marked improvements that you and the rest of the development team have made, but i simply don't have the resources at my disposal to roll my own, i've barely enough room to install both GIMP1 and 2, let alone compile it. sorry, sven.
You even quoted this section, i supose that you just didn't read it.

What's your arguement with that statement? i don't deny that CMYK is an essential feature for professional print work, however, it's not quite so indespensible for your average DA whinger.
we [TheOpenCD] currently do not find The GIMP 2.0.x on windows to be quite siutable for our target audience yet, doesn't mean we're going to exclude it, it just isn't the recommended option.
TheOpenCD is aimed at fairly non-technical users, if they need to delete several fonts before they can use GIMP2 then it's not quite ready for them.
very much with you there, i find the Photo$hop UI absolutely hellish and unintuitive, of course this is because i've been using The GIMP for a while and find it's UI to be far more efficient, i right click and from any point in the image and i can dive through the submenus to the item i want rather quickly.
it's not that i've never used Photoshop, i started out with Paint Shop Pro initially, liked it, i still haven't seen a change colour depth dialogue as nice as the one in PSP3, a few years ago i started doing bits and pieces with PS, used it for a while, then moved on to The GIMP, i haven't looked back.
as for everyone wanting 16bpc colour for their digital cameras, and CMYK for no apparant reason, i'm sure the features will turn up eventually, and granted, some users need them, but for the most part these terms seem to be used by PS users to score points against the GIMP.
anyway, back to the article, i see the author doesn't like the font rendering:
The quality of typesetting is equally lacking. Compared to Photoshop, or just about any other graphics program I've seen in the last ten years, this just can't be taken seriously.
now, when i look at the image he uses to illustrate the point i can't say i'm exactly impressed by the P$ text he claims to be superior.
Slashdot Mirror
of course it should, /. front page news, "The 1394 Trade Association discover Fire!"
;)
sure Fire's nothing new, but that doesn't stop most things hitting slashdot
the results may very well surprise me, if only i could read them, maybe indexed PNG would've been a better choice, but even then i'd probably still need the FireFox image zoom extension to make out the bloody legend.
i didn't realise the situation was quite as bad as that, this is quite an eye opener.
well, if they did go with our CD, i know someone who could use some money...
it renders ok in my gecko browser, but wouldn't it make sense to design the site using OSS tools?
i don't really try,

time to fit more fans and drown out the noise.

GNUWinII provide a CD with similar content to yours, judging by your list.

Here's a quick list ofmirrors that appear to have the new ISO.

I wouldn't really advise sharing of the 1st edition, it's only really of historical interest.
The mirror list, mirrored here, been updated.
We now have a site mirror at: http://www.theopencd.net/
limited bandwidth, but the primary site is crawling.

Isn't it obvious that the comment is not targetted at professional prepress users?
if only they'd come to that same decision over Java.

maybe because there are more important things for programmers to be doing with regards to GIMP development, 2.2 is in the works...
you may want to investigate this "thing"http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3892

and here's a quick demo
so let's examine some font rendering options with The GIMP
i'm posting this link in another comment as well, so mod me redundant if you must.

the similarities you may encounter give me the impression that they are attempts to parody friends, but i didn't think it was a conversion.
i mean, why would they transfer it to the UK, then back again?
i am curious to see the US version, haven't heard a positive word said about it, but it would still be an interesting, if painful, experience.
so, back on topic, is this the thing i didn't pay much attention to in the
well, apparantly UVNC boasts better performance on win32, but, IIRC, this is dependant on a non-free video driver.
the TightVNC developers are adding file transfer capabilities, and attempting to do in a *nix friendly manner as well.
