  2. Re:Call me gimpy... on Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional 2nd Ed · · Score: 1

    Thanks, that's pretty much the kind of answer I was looking for.

    I use Gimp/Photoshop primarily for editing photographs rather than creating graphics so I'm less familiar with that end of it.

    As is yours, gimp apologist (See, i can make baseless accusations too)

  4. Re:Call me gimpy... on Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional 2nd Ed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This seems like about twice as many steps as it should be.

    Is there a technical reason for making it be regarded as creating a path from a selection and then filling it, rather than say something like this:

    1) Ellipse tool (optional checkbox to force ellipse to be circular, brush size, hardness, etc)
    2) Click on center point of ellipse, drag out to desired dimension, release
    3) Ellipse gets painted with whatever color you have in the palette

    Won't work. If they are even allowed to see it, it will color judgment.

    Some jurors may even "decide" that the internet available info "seems right to them" as opposed to admitted evidence.

    there's a shitload more sea for things to find a niche in where competitive pressure lets them get by as opposed to on land

  7. Re:As much as I want to kick uninsured motorists.. on Cities View Red Light Cameras As Profit Centers · · Score: 1

    Sure, if you feel like putting forth the expense and time outlay to take a probably dirt poor hourly wage worker to court to get their meager paycheck garnished a few bucks.

    I'm not thinking the majority of uninsured motorists have much in the way of equity, credit or savings.

    If someone legitimately can't afford car insurance what makes you think they can afford to move?

    True...I suppose i tend to think of it as: They became your audience *because* of this content...if you get rid of that, you can show them some new stuff, but you can't make them like it.

    Sounds like you need to inform your users of the issue, so they can complain to apple, and also to AT&T (Because if not for the telco then WTF would apple care about bandwidth? AT&T is clearly pissed about the number of applications eating edge and 3G capacity)

    That is a really, _really_ large group of people.

  22. Re:Why women? on Is Salacious Content Driving E-Book Sales? · · Score: 1

    Right, because an observation about book content and buying habits is totally analogous to a medical diagnosis.

  23. Re:Why women? on Is Salacious Content Driving E-Book Sales? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think there might be some misconception about what sort of book it's assumed women are reading. "Bodice rippers" as a genre are written to appeal to 'romantic' fantasies: Strong but possibly oppressed heroine, tall dark stranger, forbidden love affair, etc. Always sexual, rarely graphic.

    Credentials:I worked in a bookstore, and we sold the hell out of garbage like danielle steele, always to women, mainly to older women. I'd guess the younger generation just get porn on the internet.

  24. Re:Girls like porn? on Is Salacious Content Driving E-Book Sales? · · Score: 1

    Yep, although in the case of the bodice ripper genre I think it's almost as much about the "someday my prince/knight/highlander will come and this will happen to me" fantasy (even when they're 75)
