I mean, if it WAS a wifi allergy, then this girl has taken herself out of the gene pool and will help stop the propagation of this condition, if it exists.
That is what I have done. I run CS in a virtualbox container. Works great for my uses. I like being able to move my whole environment from desktop to laptop and back.
I tried that originally. I had the Windows version of CS6 Production premium suite on my macbook pro, running Fusion VMWare. Trouble was, that Premier and especially After Effects just were slow as mud, and it didn't really work well, due to not being able, apparently to hit the GPU and other hardware directly. So, I sent back the Win version and have the Mac version.
Now...if I could figure how to "freeze" a version of OS X, and be able to run that in a VM, maybe it would work to keep it indefinitely, but I"m not sure how to do that with OS X....?
You could just use GIMP, ImageMagick, and FFMpeg.Then you just batch process all your stuff, and save a bunch of time.
Well, not to get into it about deficiencies, of GIMP vs PS/Affinity type tools....but I find very little of my photography lends itself to just a set batch processing. I'm tuning each image for refining WB, coloration, retouching, etc....lots of clonestamping and compositing of images, HDR, etc....that I like to do.
Thanks for the Resolve link. Unfortunately, Affinity isn't Photoshop and likely would not be.
Well, I will say I'm very early in my learning of Affinity and comparing it to PS. One thing I DO like, is that with Affinity, they aren't having to keep a bunch of old stuff like PS does....they didn't have to keep old legacy stuff that virtually no one seems to use any more (I mean, why do the old Hue/Sat..and have it make permanent changes vs a Hue/Sat adjustment layer which you can go back and fine tune, etc? Things like that.
So far, in Affinity, I find the content aware tools are just about as effective, the basic tools used the most like clone stamp tool, etc...all work as expected, and I like how Affinity seems to integrate the RAW tools within the same work window area, rather than having to drop out to ACR and back with PS.
Again, I'm still working through it all, but from what I've seen so far, ESPECIALLY, considering Affinity is so new, it does so very much that I use PS for, and it seems faster at times...and I think with a couple years, they might indeed give PS a run for its money. So far, I'm seeing most all the same functionality....and hey, doing some frequency separation between PS and Affinity for some touchup work isn't gonna be any different between the two....the stuff most folks would use so far, seems like Affinity and PS are interchangeable for the most part.
On a different note....I'm wanting to soon carve out some time and try Blackmagic Design's Fusion tool...which is a rival for After Effects. It seems powerful....but would have to learn the node based methodology for it. I've got nodes down for Color grading....but still have to wrap my mind around it for special effects....and I'm still quite the novice at AE....
Well, maybe enough folks are still pissed off about having to *rent* their software with that fscking Creative Cloud monthly rental model....and that will help kill Flash off for good?
One can only hope.
I just still at this point, refuse to RENT my fucking creative software. For now, my CS6 Suite of Adobe tools will work...and now, with things like Fusion from Blackmagic.....Davinci Resolve from black magic design that is not only one of the ultimate color grading apps, it is also now turning into a world class NLE to compete with Adobe Premier.
I'm also playing with Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, which so far look to compete pretty nicely with Photoshop and Illustrator respectively. All without the damned RENTAL Model...you buy a standalone license and be done with it.
Also Davinici Resolve...has a FREE lite version that really has about 99% of the functionality of the paid version....The affinity tools, are mac only for now, but they are working on releasing Windows versions soon.
The sooner the better...I really want to give the Adobe CC rental model some real competition with teeth and kill this thing off that is not in the consumer's best interest.
Oh dear, I seem to have gotten on a soapbox again....
I would rather send my kid to school in the poorest Ozark school than almost any inner-city shithole school in America.
Actually, in northern AR, there are some VERY wealthy communities up there, due mostly in part to the Walmart Walton family. There are multi-million dollar homes, and an airport, I believe, was put in just for all the business that is done up there....with industry folks coming in up there to try to get Walmart to carry their goods, etc.
So, with that kinda money, the school system up there doesn't hurt at all.
But, as for the rest of the state, overall, the public school system there is decent, and there are plenty of private schools that excel there too.
If you have a picture of barefoot, Hillbillies all over Arkansas, you have a pretty poor picture of the whole state. There is a LOT of wealth in that state, hell, Little Rock has more damned banks per square foot than most any place I've ever lived. You had the Steven's corp. there too, there is a lot of money that flows through that state, it is a fairly well kept secret from most of the US I'm guessing.
Oh, look. Another vector to power, via government, to hamper free people from competing. Government allows a union to take over all employees, not just those who freely join.
Additionally there are still private clubs (as there were back then) where only members could enter. Barring everyone else included the authorities.
I dunno....if you have one of those clubs and try to exclude anyone, you get hit with a racist or sexist tag and get sued.....and there goes you exclusivity.
You should have a long conversation with your next Uber driver.
Actually, I DO have long conversations with all my Uber drivers, and when I ask then how they like it and all...so far, ALL of them have been quite emphatic about how much like liked doing it and the set up.
So far, the majority are either students, or adults with real jobs that just do it occasionally as supplemental income, but all seem to like it.
Except they aren't in today's society. For example, every time we try to "means test" welfare or food stamps or re-examine people fraudulently put on disability for life, there are a whole bunch of people who come out of the woodwork to whine about how unfair and mean all of us who pay the bills are.
Ugh....I wish I had mod points for this today...!!!
I just don't get all the HATE that Uber and the like are getting...?
It allows folks to easily pick up a few bucks when they want to, and from my experience and other folks I know that use is...we LOVE the experience, nice drivers, very economical, etc.
That last part speaks loads with price low and convenience. I know if I'm gonna be out drinking, these days, I just do Uber all over town rather than driving around like you normally would have to do.
But geez....again, NO ONE is holding a gun to someone's head to drive for Uber and do the contracting thing. If you don't like it, don't do it..but don't ruin it for those that DO like the work model.
Good Lord, if we had all the fscking regulations and all in the early days of the US, we'd never have the nice things we do today...as that no new ideas, company's, products or work models would have ever made it.
I'd venture to guess Buggy Whips would still be in fashion today, if we had todays' government and mindset back in the older days....
Except it's getting really hard to find a "dumb TV." Most of the people that *I've* talked to don't want a smart TV, but fewer and fewer companies making TVs are willing to make TVs without including "smart" features.
Paradoxically, if you want a reasonable number of HDMI ports (so you can attach your own devices) you have to get a smart TV.
Well, it is only smart IF, you connect it to your network. Just leave it disconnected from your network and the internet, and it stays "dumb".
I mean, I like to watch stuff on my tablet or phone when I'm out and about and have a moment, or maybe dining alone from time to time.
But at home? That's a different story. I enjoy watching movies especially on a LARGE screen tv 60" or larger preferably. I rarely go to the movie theater anymore, due to pricing and all the damned idiots that won't shut up, noisy kids, etc.
I like to recreate the movie experience at home...and I have a sound system I've built over the years to run with a nice large picture.
No, I don't watch much traditional "network" type television...hell all that turned to stupid "reality shows" or contests of some kind (I remember when the FoodTV and cooking channel used to actually SHOW people cooking with recipes and techniques)...I tune that out.
Of late, good content has started to reappear, like Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, etc. However, with these, I tend to let them finish an annual run, and then binge watch them over a week or so.
But I'd not enjoy good sit down viewing like this with friends or family, or hell, even by myself on a 12", 7" or less size picture.
I want this on a nice LARGE high quality screen. Yes, I am bemoaning the loss of the plasma screen, I still think it has the best blacks, but still.
Of course my eyes are getting worse too..but I don't understand why so many folks seem to be, as this article posits, to be watching everything from a damned cell phone or tablet.
Well, we have the push to get more females into science and engineering. Let's just amend that to also include the push to deter Muslims from going into engineering, and that should help alleviate the terrorist problem a bit....
It's so when your drone does $terroristaction they know were to send the SWAT team.
So, the new way to "SWAT" people you don't like, have their doors broken down, etc...is to either steal their drone and do something nefarious with it, or likely could be just as easy as finding out your target's serial number, and just etching that onto ANY drone, as that with the emergency reactions to things, likely they will be happy to get an address and break down your front door and shoot your dog, etc...
Unless it has to interact with multiple state and federal systems with diverse data formats running on equipment and software that is decades old, and no longer supported, and connecting all of that to the more modern systems of third party private sector companies whose vested interest is in seeing all all fail... then it should be fairly smooth sailing....
I"m willing to bet that indeed it will come at least CLOSE to having all of those parameters you mentioned.
I can't imagine that it won't in some if not many ways have to interact with states, and likely they want to tie it in with several other stove pipe systems. That's just how federal computer projects all seem to "work"...and I use the word "work" here lightly....
I should be able to easily buy a silencer. In fact most gun owners should be REQUIRED to own silencers to reduce the amount of hearing loss and noise pollution around gun ranges.
It isn't that hard to get a permit for silencers. The best way, I'm looking into, is forming a Gun Trust with some friends. Basically it is a corporation for specially licensed arms. It is nice in that with these, you can generally bypass the local LEO having to sign off on the things like silencers and other things. It is much easier to get your weapons you want within the gun trust set up that as an individual.

I wonder, will all drones be grounded till the US Federal Drone Registration website is actually up and running enough to accept peoples' input?
Well, it was in the 9th Ward here.....you pretty much expect crap like that in that area.
If you aren't in a gang, or buying/selling crack, you really have no business being in that area.
