Great, but can I treat it like a hammer, and still have it work? You know, grab it, punch out a few calculations, and toss it aside without much care where it lands.
How well do those Tektronix printers actually print color? Yeah, I'm sure they do charts and graphs fine, but how about photographs? I keep tossing around the idea of getting one, but it would only be worthwile if I could at least do proofs on it. I'm currently getting my prints done at Sam's for $0.19/4x6 and $1.96/8x10, and would love to do them at home. I would need to do ~1000 4x6's a month. Since the proofs are actually sold as well, inket won't cut it. So, can I do wedding pictures on one of these?
And of course, Windows. I wrote some stuff for a photographer with Perl,Tk, and ImageMagick, and it works fine on her W98 machine. Well, I would prefer something nicer than Tk, but it seemed like that was the best choice for cross platform with Perl.
How can you say Abit cares about their CUSTOMERS, and mention the BP6 dual celeron in the same post!?
I had one of those. Flakey piece of shit. Abit put the wrong cap on it. When people start having problems, do they offer to fix it? NO. Do they even admit what they fscked up. NO. Do they say dual CPU support is 'experimental', so sod off. YES. F'n Abit. Never will I buy another Abit board.
For me, that doesn't work. It seems whenever the power goes out I have 2-3 weeks worth of 'tab-marked' pages that I haven't bookmarked, and it isn't worth going through the history for that long to find them. Of course, Google works fine for that.
But-But-But... How will I find them? If they don't post a story on/. about them, who will tell me where to find them? Will anyone actually come back in time to this story, and post it here? If so, I'd like to know where to get it for Mandrake 9.0.
And yes, I could just install the tgz, but then I have to do it for my friends and family, and I just don't feel like keeping track of what programs have been installed and how for them. It's much easier to just use 'rpm -q' and urpmi and such. If it's a program I'm trying for myself, I don't mind, but I'll be damned if I'm going to fsck with that while I'm troubleshooting someones machine through ssh.
No, but you could probably patent the idea of using a 4-byte code (\0x53686974 I think) to convey a negative appraisal through the use of the INTERNET, using a [insert vauge description of a blog here].
I like Gimp's UI. What I hate is the programs that think I want everything in the same window, even when it's obvious I really want several windows. I got news for the designers: I have a window manager, and it's set up the way I want it, don't try a window manager too.

Try Sams Club: 19-cents each. They print on Fuji Crystal Archive paper, not that Kodak junk (check out Wilhelm Imaging Research for how pathetic Kodak paper is). They monitor the printers well, so the color should be right. The Frontier expects sRGB color space.

You're confusing random numbers with pseudo-random numbers. Random numbers can be created by, say, a radioactive source. Yes, there are equations involved, but trying to reproduce the stream won't work because it is random.
Sorry, I looked at the site, where it said 10M. And assumed 8bpp. Looks like the Sigma camera that is available is 3.2Mpixel, 12bpp. So... 1/10th the size for the files.
Great, now I can stop scanning in those 21Mpixel images from film, and get a 10Mpixel digital camera. Since it uses 3 layers, those pixels must count for more than twice as many from the 35mm film. And the dynamic range is surely greater tha slide film. Finally the shadow detail in that otherwise brightly lit scene that I needed to use slide film, and capture at 48bit can be resolved with a 24bit image! Now I won't need more memory - my files will be 1/4th the size, and look just as good! And it sees just like we do! Same 3 colors, same intensity relations, all on each pixel! Because everyone knows the human eye has only one kind of sensor in it. It's not like mammal eyes that have rods and cones.
Which would be nice... If they worked. Still, throwing out the RAM I have, and having to spend another $260 doesn't constitute cheap to me. I checked crucial, and 2x512M Registered would run around $375+S&H.

Didn't X11R6 come out in 1994?
Do you have a link for the final numbers divided by country? I'm interested in seeing it.

If you're a smart photographer you buy Picture Window Pro from www.dl-c.com (the guy that wrote 1-2-3). I use that and cinepaint to get my work done.

What about Forth(late 60's), Postscript(mid 80's), I'm sure others can jump in with many modern examples. - dave f.
I'd expect he was considering (9,0) and (0,9) to be sequential. So 1-(1-((10-2)/10))^2 = .32 - or approx. 1/3.
