Do you have any idea what ImageMagick is? Do you understand how ignorant you sound?
Mind you, I do consider that maybe it needs to be cooperative with Gimp, maybe some sort of plugin, so they talk to each other. But this just shows how sad it all is... the type of people bitching simply do not know what tools are used for what. What, are you going to complain next that gimp can't do batch scripts to rename files? (hint: bash)
Oh, don't get me wrong. I love helping out people who really want to learn to be computer users. I'll do my best. I was actually wondering how to best go about writing a patch for a gimp feature someone asked for in this thread. Something minor like that *might* be something I can handle.
But don't get me wrong on the other end of the things, either. I have no interest in you using gimp, or linux, or anything else. Free software has proven that it doesn't need to appease mouth-breathing imbeciles. We finally get a chance to do software right, not software the way that will sell.
So, as someone who just had to bite, prove yourself: what feature is gimp missing that photoshop has? Complaining that it's hard to get is fine, as long as you realize that is a minor thing (we all bitch about gimp's interface). But to say that it's a dealbreaker, that's just dumb.
I dunno. Maybe when it's assholes ranting that Google should cater to them, even when their websites don't deserve it, all the while crying like a sissy that they have to conform to Google's standards... maybe that just reminds me of Microsoft. That's their sort of attitude, after all.
Or maybe they've literally screwed up everything for us for the past 20 years, and when I see someone succeed (Google) despite them playing every dirty trick they can think of, I can't help but mention it.
Oh, and finally, no, you're not new here. You're a worthless AC. That's about x10,000 worse.
* support for high bit colors, so that one can open RAW files directly and edit them at full power.
It needs this for CYMK as much as for RAW.
* multifile save - have a primary document in xcf format and several secondary documents with, for example, three different jpegs with different sive and compression levels, so that when you press save for the primary document, the secondaries are automatically updated
No idea why anyone would want this, but it's a trivial feature.
* batch processing mode including RAW support
Wrong tool, in all likelyhood. Maybe some integration/cooperation with ImageMagicke though?

A) Their algorithm is likely as fair as they can make it. B) Then don't think of it as punishment. Think of it as sites making themselves unrankable by trying to game the algorithm. C) Competition is good, bring it on. Oh, and don't forget to thank Microsoft for trying to strangle the entire technology industry, lord knows there'd be loads of competition everywhere, if they weren't using illegal tactics to try and squash it at every turn.
So, you think you have the right to dictate how they rank their pages? That's what you want, after all. You're not willing to just build an honest website, you want people to look at it even when they weren't looking for it. But that's not enough either, when Google fixes this, and lets people look at what they're searching for again, you demand the right to dictate to them that they must show your crud anyway.
You have the right to lie, of course. Just not the right to force everyone to believe it. Dumbass.
When he says 16b, he means per color channel. Effectively 48bit color. Some high end cameras apparently capture images at this depth. Crude isn't a word I'd use to describe it.
Stalled in the stoneage? It's amazing how if people have to look in a different menu for a feature, it doesn't exist.
I wonder if that's what it takes, cloning photoshop down to the last pixel, just so you retards would give it a little respect. Of course, ravenous flesh-eating lawyers would descend upon the gimp developers...
There are so many valid criticisms of Gimp (as there is with all free software), that I don't know why people have to come up with what amounts to pure bullshit. It boils down to what is fashionable for most, and short of them rubberstamping an "Adobe" logo on the thing no one will take it seriously.
How the hell does that work. A little cartoon SS walks up and says "Wolfy, the showers are out of order again, and the cattle cars are behind schedule. We need to requisition 200 kilos of zyklon-b immediately." ?
Seriously though, if I ever meet the guy that wrote the sim, I'm going to kick his ass.
It's part of the OS. You don't expect to be able to run win95 and XP on the same machine simultaneously, do you? You should ask yourself why you bother coding pages for OS subcomponents rather than actual web browsers, they do call them web pages for a reason, you know.
Running firefox on windows is like having a Ferrari with a 2 cycle lawnmower engine. And don't blame weirdassed extensions on firefox... you oughtta see what my alpha extension can do.
And I definitely don't accept the argument that you'd design for the browser most in use, because a good design will work just as well on IE as a specific design (Assuming this was in the article I didn't feel like reading)
From what I can tell, good design works on everything *but* IE. My proper XHTML pages which are served as mimetype application/xhtml+xml simply will not load on IE. My SVG widgets (necessary because the only alternative would be -involuntary shudder- flash or **retching** java) would have to be mangled beyond recognition to work in the craptastic adobe plugin, not to mention wrapped in an <object>. Yet all these things work on real browsers like firefox and opera (even konq does a decent job of the stuff, I look forward to konq 4 nailing the SVG stuff). Hell, I think even Safari is supposed to be able to do it come next version...
That would explain why DirecWay and Starband suck so much ass. Always wondered why in the hell they couldn't cache/proxy things on the satellite itself, and reduce the latency by half. No hard drives.
Highschool flunky here, that has an intuitive, but apparently mostly useless understanding of basic physics.
Blah. Excuse me. Whatever in the hell the word is for the turbulence cause in a rotating structure when the outer edge approaches or reaches the speed of sound.
Besides, as I've said before, it was only speculative. I doubt that the air effect (lord forbid I say that it's the bernoulli effect, I'm not sure of that, and someone else will feel the need to chew me out if I'm wrong about it) is the only way to fly the head. I mean, do they pressurive the damn things when they put one of these into a satellite?
They hope to use this product to steal a market for Windows CE to dominate and destroy Nicholas Negroponte's $100 free open-source powerd laptop concept before it can infect developing nations with the idea of non-Microsoft sofware.
I'm a dumby as people pointed out already, so take this with a grain of salt. The speed of sound would still propagate through the axle and heads, which are metal (and plastic), but at much higher speeds. This would only be a vibration problem, which is not as big a deal (though still significant), air causes cavitation (at least in airplane propellers, maybe not in full discs) and causes all kinds of crap.
Not to mention centrifugal forces would eventually cause the platter to disintegrate, but I think this is only a problem WAY after the speed of sound was hit. The actual materials would have only a small weight (paper thin and 3" dia) and fairly decent tensile strength (just don't try to hold of a suspension bridge with them). It's probably feasible to spin them really fast, even in air, but if not, I still think getting rid of the air shouldn't be that big of a deal.
I thought modern drives used magnetics, instead of a bernoulli effect. Course, what I know of the things is limited to mostly parroting the "superparamagnetic" stuff that each new generation of drives needs to increase areal density.

Not just in their minds, that's a person who proved they were willing to buy it.
And this sort of piracy should be illegal. I never had a problem with them cracking down on people who sold warez... nail the bastards.

A) Google guesses what you are trying to spell, and does it very well.
B) This is an oversight that would be easily corrected.
C) You just announced it publically and unignorably.
D) Most of the people censored don't spell it with latin characters anyway.
Stop nitpicking. As opposed to "2x4 thin".

Didn't say they were, said they could be.
There's a difference.
Notice that the parent posts were rather speculative, unless they're coming out with 72,000RPM drives anytime soon.
I thought modern drives used magnetics, instead of a bernoulli effect. Course, what I know of the things is limited to mostly parroting the "superparamagnetic" stuff that each new generation of drives needs to increase areal density.
Could just evacuate air completely from the sealead hard drive.
Oh, and notice I said backplane, ACtard. It's not a motherboard, the CPU and logic is all on a riser card. I'm hardcore, loser.
