well, i need CMYK too. but only ocassionally. so about 2% of my work is done under OS X. it is not enough to keep me in that OS.
with GEGL library for the Gimp, supporting CMYK, it wont be necessary soon (few months?)
huh. i make my living from computer graphics done in Linux. Maya (3ds cannot comapre with maya at all). Blender (well, this is a little application, but very productive and maturing very fast). Photoshop? Well it depends what you want to do with it. If you need CMYK and other prepress stuff, well bad luck - it will change soon anyway. But if you need really good Deep Paint support, Photoshop sucks comparing to Cinepaint. The worst problem I see on Linux in this area is vector graphic software.
please no more good games for linux! there are already too many of too good, too addictive, too time consuming, unproductive games on linux. well, it is just my opinion
adobe is not even able to port its software to MacOS correctly. May be it is better now wit CS versions, but before that i had a das experiance comparing Mac and Windows versions of their InDesign software. Althoug my Mac machine was faster than the Windows box, it run on a Mac so slow that I was wondering if they just emulate Intel CPU on the Mac to run the InDesign code.
crappy gimp? i am a profesional computer graphic user, spending a lot of time with photoshop. i am using it for years, the first version i have been using was 0.9 (and i still have it for fun). and i use gimp too (from 0.99:)). And i wouldnt say taht the Gimp is crappy. It still lacks some features (for prepress mainly), but for jobs that can be done in it (and it can do some things Photoshop cannot, if you still count Cinepaint as a Gimp version) i strongly prefer the Gimp. It has superior (but harder to learn, may be) interface that makes me 300% more productive.
here in czech republic, the LOTR was criticized for being an allegory of war of Evil Capitallist Imperialistic West (Gondor, Elves etc...) against a working class of Good communist Mordor (but because it was a bad book from the west it was trying to depict good as evil and vice versa). I am not kidding. I have somewhere an article from Rude Pravo (Red Justice, leading newspapers of communist Czechoslovakia) where is detailed list of what nation and character from LOTR corresponds with what character and nation in the Real World.
this was not offtopic. this was explanation of the name of the used technology. not all people are interested only in practical applications. some are able to take a broad view. at least i hope/. folks are not different
Her name comes from the French spelling of Ariadne - an old goddess of fertility form Crete and Mistress of the Labyrinth. In later Greek mythology, Ariadne's divine origins were submerged and she became known as the daughter of King Minos of Crete, who conquered Athens after his son was murdered there.
With nokia you get what you paid for - the brand name, not extra quality. Every teenager I have seen wants nokia, because nokia is cool. As long as it is nokia, he/she is happy. And guys at Nokia know that, so they set price accordingly.
Yes I have similar experience. My nokia (i do not remember the type, but i always buy lowend models because it is enough for me, I carry my computer anyway) died just because it was rainy. The water killed it. Siemens does not complain about rain. Actually, once I submerged it into my beer. It is ok.
it is probably not wise in this case. it shall be an internet community site and making barriers based on country borders in internet is imho futile. may be it wont take long before portuguese (or chinese, european or anything) will be majoriry language in internet in general. prepare for that.
the only thing you can do now is to try fight back and invite english speaking friends. waht about me? well, its not my native language, but the native one - czech, is so small tah it cannot be dangerous in the next 500 years. And I would appreciate orkut invite.
i am not a mobile expert and i have never used CDMA phone. but i simply cannot imagine better voice quality than i get (for a small phone of course) from my GSM phone. but may be i have bad ears, i am not a musical type
imho, they are unstable. i use both systems - linux and nt based windows (2k mostly, but xp too). i do very similar things with both systems - computer graphics. i use two systems because i need photoshop and i need gimp too (it is still much metter in linux) and it is easier for me to have two machines then reboot or use wine or something like that. hardware is the same, wokload very similar. i need to reboot windows ten times as often
It is only your problem that you do not take warnings seriously. Who is 'we'? The people who feel that current USA is the main threat to our happy lives.

yes, you are right

tovarisc, how much time it takes to load the /. homepage?

i get lots of spam to my catch all address - lots of names form some dictionary probably. but you can switch the catch all adress off if shit happens.

Dont call a war terrorism. We are at war with USA, and of course we will use whatever force available and necessary. But it is not a terorrism.
So can we see some nuclear fireworks in the September?
bad phone or bad gsm network. here in Europe (at least central) we use ONLY GSM and no problems here. imho it is very good technology
what was that Vanilla Ice?
Nokia is too expensive. For half the price I can buy Siemens with the same functionality.
You shall never compare Photoshop and the Gimp
it is really similar
