Incidentally, this is why Windows is the best platform for photo editing: once you step out of the undemanding use, and need GPGPU and 64-bit support, you use the platform that had both of them first: "PC" as most artists would call it. 3rd party plug in library is bigger too. Try and explain that to most photographers or artists and you will first get an reflex snort, then silence, then "but I like Mac" with a laugh(photogs) or a whine (artists). Idiots.
CMYK is pretty important to people that actually send jobs to printers for flyers, brochures, marketing materials, etc.
True, but if you are doing that, then you are probably, well, making money from Photoshop, like the previous poster said.
There seems to be this strange mindset with the Gimp developer community that RGB is the only game in town
It's not so much that as it is that there are issues with licensing and patents, especially regarding Pantone.
Glad to see you agree; GIMP isn't a replacement for Photoshop, it's a replacement for Elements.
The problem is that people use Photoshop, a complete and mature set of editing tools designed for people who know what a wratten number is (which is why I've never needed a photoshop class/book, though I've no doubt I would benefit from one), often used at levels between Elements and MS Paint. And that is the user the GIMP developers code for. And the reason otherwise bright people claim that GIMP is a replacement for Photoshop; they conflate poor use of software with the software itself.
There are pieces in my (well, one) fine art portfolio that one simply can't make in GIMP. Claiming that it's "limitless" (not directed at parent - he sounds like he knows what he's talking about) is intellectually dishonest. I would love real competition for Adobe, but alas.
I haven't used it, but I came across it while looking for a way to relocate my Delta 1010 PCI card away from one of my PCIe 16x slots. Also available is a PCIe to external 4xPCI slots, which is great for legacy stuff (or interesting wifi configurations?).
I understand that. My point was, his report was not so outlandish as to be unbelievable. GMA 950 types have much better drivers than the 500 series (which, as you point out, have many more hardware decoding features at half the clock rate), and in general, at present, a 945/50 will make for a better user experience, esp. with light gaming. Many of the 500s features exist only in potentia: I think OpenGL went from bad 1.0 support to passable 1.1 through the latest Windows driver, despite HW support for 2.0.
I do not mean to compare the two chipsets; all I meant to say was that given my experiences (which include the original EEE 701 4G), I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the performance report of a random/. poster with karma, a modded post, and who doesn't read like an abject shill, especially when they jive roughly with my experiences.
The rest of the comment was just a cursory performance report of my own, as someone out there might be wondering about the state of the GMA 500 as it becomes more and more prevalent in the market discussed in the story.
I dont know if it's because the Asus is rescaling a 720p source to 600px, and thus causing some problems, but my U820 (1280x800, Atom Z530) handles the 720/24p Serenity trailer with the latest Intel GMA 500 reference driver, using WMP (but not MPC for some reason) under Windows 7 with no dropped frames. The GMA 500 drivers have been a real debacle, esp. under Linux, but even under Windows. I'm hoping as the platform shows up in more machines the driver situation improves even more.
Some caveats: It will *not* scale 1080 sources at any watachable rate. With my Pinnacle 801e ATSC source Windows Media Center dies, often making the graphics driver restart (survivable in Win 7) but sometimes it will blank the display until the power is cycled. I have also not tried 720p AVCHD files from my HMC150.
So do I, as there is a difference between broadcasting ("Transmissions intended for reception by the general public, either direct or relayed.") and transmitting (vague, could be simply the act of radiating, or often communications that are one to one, or a in small group, usually in two way communications). Yes, clearly influenced from amateur use, but the quote is an FCC definition. In common speech, there is little distinction, but in technical matters and regulation, even outside amateur practice, broadcast has a specific term which I doubt the judge meant, or possibly ordered.
As a Manhattan resident (and native), I assure you, Westchester is upstate. Actually, maybe Riverdale, too. Meh, I'll play it safe, and just say upstate is north of 96th St.
Actually, if we are in nitpicking mode, it *goes* from 1BC/BCE to 1 AD/CE: no one at the time was having epoch rollover parties.
The calendar is a scale that remains in use, present tense is called for.*
*To avoid the next nitpick, it would be fine to say that the date went from 4 Oct 1582 to 15 Oct 1582 in Catholic Europe, because
that was an event that happened.
Doesnt't it feel like there have been three of the same stories in different form but identical in comments?
Anyway, The N810 is also an N800 with a transflective screen, making it very readable where the N800 is not, and thus fits the requirements better. Yes, I own both (and owned a 770, for good measure).
I would caution against any of the eink devices if you insist on webbrowsing on the same device. The refresh rate and limited web media and browser functions make for a frustrating experience. I carry my Sony 505 with me all the time, but it's for fiction, not random access (i.e. textbook, techincal, or webpage reading) as page flipping is still painful.
Your best bet, if the N810 is too small, is to find a tablet PC with a transflective screen. Motion Computing and Itronix slates can be had fairly cheaply on ebay; Fujitsu P1610/20 and U810/820 convertibles also are options if you can do without a transflective screen. I have a U820 and love it (and its high ppi and long battery life), but if I were you, I suspect the greater utility would be found in a P16x0 series.
Worse is that the OP lost point(s) for the (stupid) off topic mod, but the funny mods do nothing to restore it. While I understand not giving points for "funny," they should mitigate downmods on the same comment.
In the meantime, someone give the guy an insightful mod or two. Until the mod system corrects for the above flaw, there remains a manual solution.
Shrug. I'm writing this response on a Z530 powered Fujitsu U820 with 1 GB of RAM. In Washington Square Park. And I mean writing: the pen input on Windows 7 is fantastic. 1 BSOD in a month of use-which was heat related (I left the thing on in a bag). The constraints on my use are not any worse than on similar hardware using XP or Ubuntu. I skipped Vista, but Win 7 has been very impressive.

Funny, I thought Moore's Law predicts transistor density (at the lowest price point) will double.
Is there a map for this?
And has been known for a while. Oddly, this vulnerability is the easiest way to secure the greater vulnerability in the router.
I would have given you mod points if you "misspelled" that as Zemo. Sadly, the world will have to do with this less than ideal reply.
I'll see that (and my N800 and N810) and raise you a 5.6" 1280x800 display on my Fujitsu U820.
touche.
good you found a German speaking/reading mod.
and yet we come back to a site run by /. editors.
pedantry is a wrong exactitude.
assuming "even once is too much" and fractional values make no sense (unless you've crashed mid-text)
too much = 1
too much*30 = 30

No one messes with all that crap; they use mirror lenses which produce equal or greater results in a much smaller package.
Or,
20" 1600x1200 NEC S-IPS
The smallest 1900x1200 LCD is a 22" Lenovo L220x, AFAIK.
