Good grief. So many people know so little about printing.
RGB is an additive color model: 100% of R, G and B gives you white.
CMYK is a subtractive color model: 100% of C, M, Y and K gives you black. Now, as all printing involves taking a light substrate and adding color to it, all printing is based on subtractive models as there is no way, with current technology, to print RGB.
So, to recap, all printing is CMYK because, right now, that's the only cost-effective way to actually print. That may change in the future, butm for now, you need 1) a program which does CMYK and b) a platform which gives one accurate color rendition across different color spaces.
You're not going back far enough: the story of Lucifer wasn't new when it was incorporated into Chrisitanity. It is the same story of hubris the Greeks used, and there are similar paralles in Egyptian and Mesopotamian myths. I think it is fairer to say that Tolkein was using the same archtypal stories we as a people have been telling ourselves for thousands of years.
Shit, it's possible to see parallels between the story of Beren and Luthien and the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Agreed, and one of the reasons so much sci-fi sucks so hard: when the purpose becomes writing science fiction versus writing a good story you've already lost, as genres are hopelessly restrictve forms. The "Starfleet shields can withstand any laser weapons, Captain Picard was very clear about that." arguments are arguments for technofetishism, not fiction, which is beased (always) on character develpoment and interpersonal tension.
In my experience, fan fiction is not about god story telling, but about fulfilling an urge to participate in the fantasy world in a manner beyond reading.
For an extreme example of how genre can kill drama, look at Deep Scape Nine. Although a favorite of the technofetisists, it was horrible as fiction, as it was completely devoid of any dramatic tension.
The idea of paying lots of money for boxed software at a computer store is so outdated. And the fact that Macintosh is built around that model is going to hurt it badly.
What color is the sun on your world?
Seriously: you statement is so head-in-the-clouds-theoretical I have trouble seeing it as anything other than parody. There is no, REPEAT NO, other way 99% of the people in the country will buy things than go to a store/order online and recieve something in a box.
I'd suggest you spend less time deciding how the world will work and more time away from the computer.
I'd have to say that Gigabit ethernet is useless for 99% of users, other than for bragging rights.
Wrong.
Every Mac here has gigabit ethernet, and all of them use it, because it makes copying those 250+ meg Photoshop files a lot quicker. Putting Gigabit ethernet in all Macs was a stroke of genius for Apple, and G.E. is becoming a staple for production/prepress/video shops.
There is absolutely no connection between pirating movies and quality. Hollywood has been making absolute shit for decades, long before any pirating existed. Mr. Deeds sucked because 95% of what comes out of Hollywood always sucks.
For perspective, 1999 was considered one of the best years in Hollywood history because there were FOUR really good movies (American Beauty, Sixth Sense, Magnolia, and Matrix) out of the hundred or so released. So, a good year has less than five good movies.
What do you think a bad year has?
And, BTW, you should know better than to see an Adam Sandler movie. . .
I think your Earthlink experience depends on the infrastructure in your area. In NYC I have never had a problem with them, and the only time my line went down was when a construction crew in the city hit some Verzon lines, which wasn't Earthlink's fault.
I even get a refund from them when they forgot I signed up with a special deal!
Talked to one of the IT guys where I'm working about the switch to X and, according to him, Xpress isn't the only hold up. Apparently there are no drivers available for any of the large format (24, 36 & 42 inch) printers.
Now, I was all like, "Quark is, like, so committing corporate suicide by not releasing an OS X version of Xpress and InDesign, despite its many flaws, will, like, kick their asses and stuff," but not I think that perhaps Quark may be correct in waiting a wee bit. Despite no carbonized competition, InDesign has made almost no headway against Quark on the corporate side where it counts and, should Quark release a X-native version of Xpress in the first half of 2003 which Just Works, they may pull off quite a coup.
My take on InDesign: while it has some nice features, it has no killer feature.
The evidence for intelegent design is overwhelming, as is the evidence of Jesus being God. Christianity is very logical
There is, in fact, no evidence for Jesus being God. Jesus, as far as can be told, never claimed to be divine in any way at all. His somewhat elusive answer to Pilate about being the "King of the Jews" is of no help, as the Jewish idea of Messiah has always been first and foremost a political office, that of a person who would follow the rules set down in various Torahs, Talmuds, etc.
Jesus' divinity was not proclaimed until after his death, when Paul, reeling from the shock that the man who proclaimed the "Good News" died like a common criminal. All of the modern churches' thrology dates from Paul and later exegesis, not from Jesus.
Evolutionists/Atheists have been and are still trying to disprove God's existence and have failed to do so.
Unfortunately, one can not prove God's existence; this is why it's known as faith.
2) I have seen wayyyyyyy to many "this technology is the future" statements to ever trust one. Until it's actually out in the world and running, it's vaporware.
In that case, let's discuss the recurrent theme of trinity and quaternity in religious symbolism from the Neolithic to the present, and how that impacted the split between the Catholic and Prfotestant Churches in Europe in the Middle Ages.
What? You can't discuss the formation of the basic values of the Western European Cultural Complex?
OK - let's discuss the political tensions between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson and how this impacted the writing of the Constitution and the formation of the American political process.
What? You don't know the underpinnings of the system of government under which you live?
You are an animal!
There is a conceit among some/. users that technical knowledge is the highest form of knowledge, which is patently untrue. There is no higher value on being able to program versus being able to paint a picture, and the fact that I am more interested in the history of politics and religion than soldering my own motherboards in no way means I am any less intelligent or capable or valuable then anyone else.
What I think relly angers some computer geeks about Macs and ease-of-use is the possible retreat of the world-view on which they have staked their self-image - the mastery of technolgy. There is an idea that being able to untangle technical problems allows one to enter a select brotherhood which makes one somehow better than the unwashed masses who don't know the difference between source code and morse code. This is, in a word, bullshit, cause without those of us who care about other things, there would be no food on your table, no books in your bookstores, no movies in your theaters, no clothes on your backs, etc. So climb down off your high horse and realize that the world is a lot bigger than the distance from/. to your keyboard.
Besides, I know I got laid a lot more in college than the CS degree students I knew. . .
A well-made genre film, but nowhere near any of Kubrick's stuff, nor Soderbergh's, nor Gilliam's. . .
Spielberg makes airy fluff with lots of pretty things, let's not confuse this with art. Schindler's List is the pinnacle of his work, and for that his greatest decision was to follow the book almost to the letter (except for that excrable last scene in which survivors place stones on Schindler's grave). I will say that Saving provate Ryan was one of the most amazingly technically proficient films I have ever seen, with some incredible stunts, but that's melodrama, not good directing.
Spielberg is greatly overrated as a director, methinks. In all his movies save one (Schindler's List) he very easily falls back on sentimentality to make his point, rather than good directing.
Compared to the late, great Kubrick, or Soderbergh, he's a hack.
Slashdot Mirror
My record is something like 19 x 30 x 300 dpi with 22 layers, 19 of which had layer masks and various stuff. The file was something like 4+ GB.
You are right. However, all of those are subtractive models, as Hexachrome is essentially CMYK with extra plates to fill out the color space.
Google ColorSync to see what true, device independent, system-wide color management is like.
Someday someone will come up with a better system, but not yet.

Not until Windows can use ICC profiles like the Mac.

So far, a bunch.

HALO was originally developed for the Mac, then MS bought Bungie.

Looks awful. Pity, as Bale's a good actor.
Nothing like a good-looking genius to get the juices flowing.
Perhaps. Language is such a fuzzy thing.

If that's not to your liking, get FileXaminer and edit the type and creator codes, just like with ResEdit in OS9.
