I"d jump for joy at this...except I still refuse to RENT my software.
I still am not ready to buy into the Adobe CC thing, I don't like the idea that if I have a lot of PSD files, I've done work on, I may refer back to, say as templates for my business albums, etc...that if I quit paying rent, that I can no longer open and use my files I created.
I bought into the CS6 Production Premium Suite of tools...and so far, I've not see anything Adobe has done or added that is so groundbreakingly compelling that I would give up my standalone as long as I want them (in VM's if need be for OS changes) and use them.
I'm actually wondering if Adobe keeping the 'deals' running for so long is and indication that not quite as many have flocked to CC as they imagined. But regardless of that, I don't wanna rent my software, who's to tell when once they have you hooked, they start raising the prices? Also, what's to keep the fire lit under them to innovate once everyone is paying monthly and there is no stand alone option any more?
This was in a Mexican court. Have you tried reading the article before letting your bigotry come out?
What bigotry?
It was making humor of a situation, where we have a large and growing number of illegal immigrants coming into the US and causing a drag on our economy.
How can a fact be bigotry? Sure, it happens to be mostly from a single country, but facts are facts and have nothing to do with bigotry.
Frankly, I welcome LEGAL immigrants with open arms, no matter where they're from, as long as they want to become US citizens, and follow the rules.
I agree the rules need to be updated to be more streamlined, etc....but still, you follow the current rules till the new ones can be made into law.
Fuck illegal immigrants! It's not like they're real people with very understandable motives for their "lawbreaking."
Well, then who is to decide what laws to break? I sure could use that new Porsche you bought, but I can't afford it, but it would understandably help me in so many ways..so, therefore I should disregard the law and take it.
Yeah, I do kind of say "fuck illegal immigrants"...but I also am quite WELCOMING of legal immigrants.
You have a problem with people following the laws and rules of the country (US in this example)?
I mean, seriously, they are there for a reason and should be followed until changed legislatively...I was just trying to put it into a slightly more humorous light.
Let's also structure the lawsuit settlement, to where if you are in the US illegally from Mexico, that you have to go home and file your claim.
And then, if you want to come back, you follow the laws and rules and apply for citizenship. And, you'll have your new working phone to call those left in the US and talk with them and keep in touch.
If that doesn't happen, then the Internet may descend into anarchy,
" and thought to myself, where has this guy been?
The internet started out as and has always been anarchy, and that is what made it good. It has been the last bastion of personal freedom and expression since inception. The lack of regulation and rules has made it what it is today.
The internet, was NOT created and constructed for the purpose of business and monetary transactions, that is something that came later and while welcome, was not and SHOULD not be the total focus of the network of networks.
Not to mention...Lenovo fucking up the quality of the product after they get ahold of it.
The old IBM THinkbooks used to be built like a tank, but a Lenovo one today, is so much plastic, I had loose USB ports, etc.
I'm guessing the servers will get the same "cheapening" over process.
A former poster is right...might as well look to get a Dell, and at least not worry about Chinese spyware in addition to the cheaper construction quality.
f you want to say you think the US is going in the wrong direction, fine. But follow that up with REAL solutions. How do you suggest we reduce greenhouse gasses? -Gee-wiz, Mr. Keqiang, can you please stop using those coal-powered factories that we paid you to build? Ya, thats going to go real well.
Honestly, right now I don't give much a fuck about greenhouse gases. I'll worry about that when we're rolling the economy along again.
I think I'd start by dropping corporate taxes to about zero. That would attract businesses back to the US. Of if not to zero, if they were here in the US and for every US citizen (documented) they hired, they'd be able to drive their tax debt to zero, that might be a good start.
Geez, this guy is not going to be happy till the US and its economy is run 101% into the ground and we're on a 2nd or 3rd world level.
WTF would we cut our emissions at the cost of our manufacturing and economy unless China or other offenders do it first? China is running roughshod over us and he's wanting to voluntarily cripple the US more at this critical time?
Obama is not a friend or champion of the US, more and more I'm starting to believe the extremists that said his goal was to dismantle the US as we knew it, and I am starting to fear they are right when I see his actions or lack thereof on important issues.
I can't figure out if it is ignorance, or if it is actual actions due to malicious forethought.
The one that can be modified without a reform, simply with an amendment.
True...but, if we want to change it, lets do the amendment thing, and not just blow it off and try to grow the Fed govt beyond its mandate just for fun.
We're just swimming in all that Iraq oil here in the US since the war. Prices are back to 70's low prices due to the flow of all that precious crude from Iraq.
Oh wait...we've not been getting any of that oil have we?
Defense spending HAS been cut back over the past years, severely.
What we need to do, is quit sending all the foreign aid out, quit funding NATO and other groups, which basically ends up being the US defending the world and allowing those countries to spend all their money on their social programs, and not defense of themselves.
Its about time the US stopped paying for the defense of Europe, and let them pay their own way for that.
Some military is always needed, but we don't need THIS MUCH military. But that's a bit of an aside. My point is that claiming that the military provides a welfare service to the poor by providing them jobs is an empty argument. Likewise, claiming that military contracts produce economy is also an empty argument. If you want to piss away money employing people to create software, uniforms, vehicles, and support infrastructure in a welfare/make-work/might-as-well-toss-it-into-a-volcano sort of way, I'd rather the output of those efforts be something more useful like software, uniforms, vehicles, and support infrastructure for the healthcare system?
But at least on the federal level, defense is one of the few enumerated responsibilities of the Federal Govt.
There is nothing in there that says for them to deal with healthcare.
That is a private business situation, or state level govt thing at most, if the states' citizens vote for that to be the way to go, which is cool with me either way.
It certainly shouldn't be a federal level thing, but the Feds have grown too big and have been overreaching for decades.
Strange. I've been able to keep my old YT account separate, though it used to keep asking to "switch" over to my G+ profile. Try logging out of every Google account you have, then log in to YT. May or may not work. it's hard to tell with Google's strange account settings.
I've kept the YT account separate too all these years, however....I cannot comment from it.
I can post videos, do channel work, etc...but I cannot seem to comment on my videos or others' unless I covert it to a G+ account.
Develop your people skills..and NETWORK network, network!!
Who you know and how you present yourself often counts more than just pure technical skill or degrees. You need a basic degree to get in the door most places, but BS, charm and ability to speak to others in a cohesive manner, along with general personal hygiene (amazing this still gets overlooked by some folks in tech????) will get you a long way.
Personally, I've never been all THAT good at any job in the IT field I've ever done, but I am able to present myself and stand up to at least a small audience and talk when required to.
Doing that, networking with folks, keeping in touch as they move to new jobs, etc....always is the fast track to get a job.
With you and school...start reaching back to your classmates and instructors and see who they know they can put you in contact with.
99% of the time, it is who you know, not so much what you know (unless it is brain surgery).
Mod Parent up. This is true. Google still force you to agree to "Google+ Pages" Terms of Service in order to have a pseudonymic voice on YouTube.
Yep, I just tried to comment on a friends' video...it had me sign in, which I did, but then started saying this name would be on a new G+ site on my channel, etc.
So, G+ isn't gone for good, it still is quite an intrusive requirement if you want to post on YouTube currently.
It's called "two factor authentication" and it's only mandatory if you care about security.
Well, if it is a matter of 2 factor and giving my phone number to Google vs less secure and keeping my phone numbers to myself, I'm afraid I have to err on the side of less secure, sadly.
Perhaps the thinking is that if a service knows and presents the real names of existing users, new users are more likely to trust the service enough to provide their own real names and interests. One of the draws of Facebook, for example, is that users will see real names far more often.
One was the real names policy, previously youtube had been happy with psuedononymous commenters. With google+ they tried hard to push people into using their real names on google+ (though they eventually dropped that policy) and they also tried hard to push youtube users to sign up for google+ and use their google+ name (which was likely their real name) on youtube. It was possible to avoid it but they tried pretty hard to push people into it.
I never converted my pre-Google YouTube account to G+. I still am no longer able to comment on my or others' videos.
I had an account on there from before YT was purchased by Google. Since the G+ requirement, which I resisted...I've not been able to comment on other videos, not even reply to comments on MY videos because it keeps popping up saying I need to associate it with a G+ account in order to post comments to YouTube.
I've not seen a change there. Is there a secret Mickey Mouse handshake one needs to know to fix this? I miss replying to people commenting on videos I post.
Slashdot Mirror
What's wrong with the name? Gnu Image Manipulation Program....what's wrong with that?
Seems like not being open to a hostile buyout would be a good thing?
It seems they could offer both standalone along with subscription based and catch more of the crowd...
I mean for now, they still offer Lightroom as standalone or part of CC, why not PS, Premier, AI, etc?
I still am not ready to buy into the Adobe CC thing, I don't like the idea that if I have a lot of PSD files, I've done work on, I may refer back to, say as templates for my business albums, etc...that if I quit paying rent, that I can no longer open and use my files I created.

Well, THAT has changed a good bit since the 90's...which I believe is the key phrase in your anecdotal story presented here.
