    Heck, forget the plugin, these would be pretty simple to automate these within Photoshop.

    The best part about overseas work is the ass. Girls don't wax/shave/trim, so it's like richard stallman in her pants. If that doesn't turn you on, I don't know what will!

  15. Not a patent on the dock on Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock" · · Score: 5, Informative

    Can you even bother to read the abstract?

    To provide greater access and consolidation to frequently used items in the graphical user interface, a userbar is established which includes a plurality of item representations.

    Not the patentable part...

    To permit a greater number of items to reside in the userbar, a magnification function can be provided which magnifies items within the userbar when they are proximate the cursor associated with the graphical user interface.

    Ah, yes, there we go. The patent is for rollover magnification of the items in the dock.

  20. Re:why didn't they provide the bailout? on AMD To Spin Off Fabrication From Design Work · · Score: 1
    Dubai invested a lot of money into Citibank last year. They've got oil money to spare and they have been investing it in the US. But they're not a charity, they're trying to make money (that's a good thing). So there are a lot of shit mortgages/debt out there. Normally, banks that need the money would sell them off below cost (based on what other buyers are willing to pay) and write it off. Alternatively, they would go bankrupt and their assets would be bought up for others. But the bailout fucks that up big time. Why should they sell at the market price when the government will buy it for more? And let's be honest here -- the government doesn't have an incentive to get a good deal and the regulators are former industry insiders.

    Government intervention is preventing the invisible hand of capitalism from working.

  21. Re:How is this supposed to make things better? on AMD To Spin Off Fabrication From Design Work · · Score: 0, Troll

    There's some good information about spinoff efficiency here. Personally, it seems like an economic cycle of mergers/acquisitions and then spinoffs/splits. The only real winners are the investment bankers.

    like voter fraud?

    CLEVELAND - Volunteers supporting Barack Obama picked up hundreds of people at homeless shelters, soup kitchens and drug-rehab centers and drove them to a polling place yesterday on the last day that Ohioans could register and vote on the same day, almost no questions asked.

    The huge effort by a pro-Obama group, Vote Today Ohio, takes advantage of a quirk in the state's elections laws that allows people to register and cast ballots at the same time without having to prove residency.
