What I want to do with GIMP, and cannot find the place for it is adjust a selection edges after I've made the selection. In PS you go to the Select menu and you can specify the current selection, say a rectangle, for adjustment. Then I can individually move the edges in or out to fine-tune it in a way that's most useful to me, and I CANNOT FIND on GIMP. Maybe this book explains that feature.
call Titan's climate 'tropical,' a climate that is warm to hot and wet year-round, because on Titan methane assumes the role of water and exists in enough abundance to condense into rain and form puddles on the surface.
Titan must have a severe moon warming problem, since methane is one of the worst of the greenhouse gases. 8X worse than plain CO2.
Let's do some math here. At even a couple dollars for the album, compared to the few cents per song that the major recording companies pay, RadioHead comes out even or better after the credit card transaction fee is subtracted. And the fans save their money to buy RH concert tickets and merchandise, where RH makes lots more money. Seems that only the RIAA record companies are cut out of the cash stream.
Was this an accident, or FUD to put the brakes on AMD sales prior to the official release of the Intel processors? This way Intel get the news out without collecting the grief that comes from pre-announcing their next moves themselves.
So Sputnik was just another Soviet fraud. Something created for getting there first, rather than actually accomplishing something useful. Exploited for political propaganda purposes more than anything else. And then they credit their accomplishment to someone else with better Party connections. Why am I not surprised?
it'd be better if companies like this opened their products because they truly believed in openness, rather than to beat the competition over the head.
Hey, competition works. Enlightened self-interest is a powerful motivator for the overall good of the masses, so why do you have to knock on it in the name of some all powerful moral reason being better? Accept what works, and fix what doesn't.
This paints a picture of the first, sealed box Macintoshs that you couldn't install a HyperDrive in. Somehow I see one of them coming back from an "update" with a huge C-clamp now holding the thing shut to prevent "tampering" -- which was another word for getting upgrades from other suppliers that Apple wouldn't -- or couldn't -- provide.
Maybe next they'll look at how many people the RIAA can sue over the P2P distribution of the same song. They've settled with Napster, KaZaA, some sort of deal with the major ISP's, and are now after normal consumers and college students.
We need some Compulsory Licensing here at more reasonable rates. Unless the Telcos can show that they're using those patents in a Directly Competing business, they should be required to license these patents to Vonage At The Best Rate (lowest) that they have licensed them to anyone else. Otherwise they're just using them to avoid competition, which is completely Anti-Consumer. The Patent System is supposed to Improve life for its citizens, not protect entrenched monopolies from new technology!
This isn't a developer admitting to spying on users. This is debate over a new feature written to help you keep from getting your blog haxored. They are collecting server and plugin data to help you to keep your software up to date.
Id that were the case, then rather than sending this information out secretly every 12 hours, pop a box up to the user and tell them that their software is obsolete, and a potential security problem, and these are the particular items in question.
Let's say that all the music companies do leave iTunes, what then?...They unite and create a new iTunes, without Apple, under a different name.
Since over 70% of the consumers have iPods, and very few of them want to switch to any alternative MP3 portable player, all of those music companies will need to continue marking their music to the iPod crowd, and Job's continues to make his money off of iPod sales, and FairPlay licensing fees to those wishing to sell to the iPod market with DRM intact. They have to do this to avoid having all those iPod users resort to services that sell non-DRM music, and the still thriving P2P networks!
They're under the impression that they can force Apple to change something. It's just like how every year or so Dell "considers" AMD processors. And after a month they sign a new contract with Intel and save a few bucks.
Time to get your head out of what ever dark place it currently resides -- or 2005, whichever is closer. Dell has been selling AMD-based computers for over a year now.

You'll get your 16-bit support when we've all moved up to 16-bit processors.
Oh, 32 now? Even 64?
Nevermind!
Isn't this The Usual Suspects?

The record companies don't want any competition in the Stealing business.
Torrentspy, welcome to your new home!
Best mini-bio I've read yet on Steve. Goes right back to the days of the original, sealed, Macintosh box.
That makes me cry -- not at all.
Yeah, vinyl is real hard to download over KaZaA and burn afterwards. It's the best attack yet against P2P Free.

Wise insight. Like learning to ride a bicycle.

That would make an excellent sig line.

I expect a huge iLawsuit to be filed soon.
Is this a spreadsheet, or a poor man's database?

And what happens when you run it on a Pentium with the FDIV bug?
It's only a matter of time before SL-type worlds interoperate, and there are bridges/portals/stargates to let your avatar travel between all of them.

I think I'd rather "fork" him -- right in a tender spot.
It's bad enough to do it in the first place.
It's worse to do it in secret. (Did he really think it wouldn't be discovered?)
It's worst of all to actually defend it afterwards. (Who does the think he is? Dan Rather?)
And when does new music become older songs? I would suspect that according to the record companies -- never!
