  1. Re:Why aren't UXGA flat panel more popular? on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 1

    You can specify your DPI in Gnome; in the advanced font options IIRC.

  2. Re:Well... n-bit depth on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 1

    Not much surprise there; the Gimp developers have been working hard on the 2.* series of Gimp. Do you think that there is a seperate team working on GEGL?

  3. Re:Just as it is on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 1

    That should be two or less not two or more.

  4. Re:Just as it is on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 1

    2 weeks for what should do >=2 days by RTFM?

  5. Re:Easier UI methods for making most common things on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 1

    1) If you want to draw cirles and boxes use Inkscape, Gimp is not optimized for that. 3) I don't agree, font selection is no different from colour selection and other options, I don't want all of them in the dialog. 4) Left click your text with the Text tool and change the font in the tool window. 5) You mean taskbar icons? If so Gimp is not a WM.

  6. Re:Copy Inkscape and provide a real full screen mo on GIMP Interface Proposals? · · Score: 1

    Won't work. You can't work with several images with a Inkscape like interface, but you usualy need more then one when working with bitmaps. A fullscreen mode with tools and menus arranged allong the edges (in one row, clickable on the edge) would rock though.

  7. Re:Germanic vs. Roman law on German Court Sets Copyright Tax on New PCs · · Score: 1

    So who exactly gets the copyright tax if not copyright holders? The gov' already gets a tax from the sale.

  8. Re:Wait a minute.. on German Court Sets Copyright Tax on New PCs · · Score: 1

    But literate people can also write and copyright is granted before the ink has dried (or text stored on disk).

  9. Re:Germanic vs. Roman law on German Court Sets Copyright Tax on New PCs · · Score: 1

    What if I own rhe copyright of the files I burn? Do I get my money back?

  10. Re:Wait a minute.. on German Court Sets Copyright Tax on New PCs · · Score: 1

    All literate people hold copyright on writen material, so all should get a cut.

  11. Re:Handsome men evolved thanks to picky females? on Top Science Stories of 2004 · · Score: 1

    Slashdot readers are dieing out?

  15. Re:Eric Raymond is wrong about Sourceforge on The Semantics of Free Software vs. Open Source · · Score: 1

    Both GNU GPL and BSD are free software and opwn source licenses, so that is not a useful metric.

  16. Re:BSD vs. GNU again on The Semantics of Free Software vs. Open Source · · Score: 1
    It's not an issue of somebody making a proprietary fork of emacs and selling it.
    That's funny, because the GNU GPL is exactly about making a propieratry fork of Emacs. Look up the history of the GPL.
  17. Re:BSD vs. GNU again on The Semantics of Free Software vs. Open Source · · Score: 1

    But with a BSD license it may not be free to downstream users. They may not even know that some or most of the code they are using is also available as free software.

    Comsumer(tm), it's either 'fellow consumer' or 'comsumer(tm)' don't speak like a communist.

  21. Re:This does not bode well for the current generat on Whippersnappers Bad-Mouth Old Games · · Score: 1
    but most of the games of old were pure action types of games
    So Interative Fiction and Roguelikes are not "games of old"?
