  1. Stupid Inkscape Trick on Introduction To Inkscape And Its Future · · Score: 0

    You can tinker with a (Conway's) "Life"-type thing by repeatedly simplifying paths -- just select your path and hold down Control-L (on Windows at least).

  2. Re:I wonder... on The Spinning Cube of Potential Doom · · Score: 0

    Possibly something like this.

    That's a Google Cache link for those not keeping track.

    IHBT, I'm sure, but...

    Because Tanenbaum is the "wronged" party according to Brown. Tanenbaum claims he hasn't been "wronged" by Linus. Therefore, Brown's full of the brown stuff.

  4. Re:Backseat drivers! on The Future of Cars According to Toyota · · Score: 0

    Rest easy. If someone else is in this thing with you, you're probably already friendly enough to let them drive.

    Great googly-moogly! No. Fair use is authorization, so there cannot be infringement.

    Ack! Do those come from these?

  10. Re:Fall Release Dates hurt Apple Education divisio on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC · · Score: 0

    Not being a part of that market, I may be off base here, but...

    Even in corporate environments, it makes sense to stay behind the curve*. I would think in education it'd be just as important: far more bugs will be fixed; incompatibilities will be ironed out; wider selection of good books available; etc. If Tiger is released mid-school-year, that means even more time to test, and fewer problems by the time you can get to testing it (assuming that little thing called "Summer Vacation").

    Now, if you just want to get your mits on it at the school's expense, that's an entirely different matter. :-)

  22. Templates on PHP 5 RC 1 released · · Score: 0, Informative

    I'm mostly of that opinion as well. The author of bTemplate wrote an essay on using PHP as its own template engine. That said, I actually prefer to use Smarty since I do coding and design for our intranet. I've found it easier to switch hats when I have to switch syntax as well.
