That's precise. Can you link to some comparison images, complete with specifying what settings you used to save each image?
Here's an honest question: Isn't a JPEG a JPEG a JPEG? Isn't JPEG a standard format, or are there lots of different ways to sample and compress an image and still wind up with a JPEG file that can be opened by any other JPEG-capable app?
Good only for people, who have fun finding out how things work. NOT for professionals who need to use programs to do their work.
Are you implying that "professionals" are somehow born knowing how to use proprietary, closed-sourced software but not open-source?
Nobody knows how to use Photoshop the first time they try it than they know how to use GIMP.
You also have to pay more to use Oracle instead of Postgresql. Unless you're a very small software vendor or a shareware developer, $3000 per developer is a small price to pay for superior technology.
Of course, most software is developed in-house and is never released to the public. As I understand it, in that case, you can simply GPL your proprietary code and use the GPL version of Qt for free.
Apple says that Panther has 150 new features. Which one do they gush over? Expose. Woo-hoo, they can tile windows! Oh, and they have fast user switching. If these are the most "exciting" and "innovative" new features, I can't imagine what yawners the other 140-some must be.
So you're saying that Apple can claim to have had preemptive multitasking and protected memory since 1988, even though it never made or sold a computer with these features until over a decade later, just because it merged with a company that did?
Sorry, that kind of tortured logic doesn't cut it for me.
Nothing you say addresses the grandparent's assertion that Linux runs better on PowerPC hardware than MacOSX does on x86 hardware. In fact, you're supporting his point.
Not according to my copies of The American Heritage Dictionary and The Merriam-Webster Dictionary. I always assumed that's why the FSF went out of its way to tell us how they decided to pronounce "GNU" on their website.
Slashdot Mirror
He has to make sure only the "correct" people die.
(Joke!)
Why is it ironic?
That's awfully slow. Maybe they should try using computers to keep track of these options.
I just mentally added "you insensitive clod!" to your statement. Quite involuntarily, I might point out.
Please kill me.
You mean there are copies of atomic porn being spread across the Internet?
Or "e-Rupted".
LOL! I have to admit, this is the first rant I've ever seen where someone claimed that big business is pro-socialism. Very entertaining.
Sure, lots of them
The quality is arghhh.

Meanwhile, the worst developers continue working on security and reliability issues.

Deedee must be in the laboratory again.

Urm, make that "days" and you'd be closer.
Signed, the Death of Slashdot Posters.
Hmm. Is this how security people really think? I don't know how I'd function from day to day if I were that paranoid.
Christ, you mean Steve Ballmer could live for another 400 years?!
Lucky statues!
Babel Fish translation: "farme thus your esti of dirty mouth maudit mangeux marde... English sti thus sucks the dead and cold cock of trudeau"
So, either Babel Fish is having more trouble than usual, or Slashdotters can't spell any better in French than they can in English.
I think they're overreacting. Those holodecks go haywire every few weeks no matter how old they are.
Now that will be worth the $129 upgrade price!
No, but it sounds like everything is "Brushed Metal" now. Bleah.
Heck, most comic strips "run on text", too.
