    But you would expect goverment to protect your copyright? How is a law that requires reslease of source code with binaries fundamentaly different from a law that requires not to copy something that can be copied at no cost?

    It's Layer/New Layer in Gimp, but of course Paint.NET has it much easier...

    I have never heard of a program that is as universally criticized as having a bad interface, but the developers completly ignore the critiques.
    ed?
    Gimp is powerful, but it is needlessly hard to use.
    You are welcome to try and make a better interface and shouting from rooftops that it should be exactly like PS does not cut it. Anyway how often do you see people criticizing programs they pay $600 for or have to use as part of their job unless they are truly unbearable? I never had problems after reading "Grokking the GIMP", but I don't expect complex programs used for specific tasks use the same interface as notepad.

    I think the crop tool is sheduled to be improved in 2.4, but don't quote me on that. The toolbox staying (or not) on top is something you ask the WM to do.

  19. Re:here here on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Features are objective, what interfaces you like or don't like on the other hand seems to be very subjective. So how does Paint.NET compare to Gimp in terms of features (-10 points for beeing windows only ;-).

    BitTorrent makes better use of the bandwidth available: no need for biger pipes to your servers or caching servers all around the world. Less resources wasted overall.

    Don't forget to put the right spin on it: if BitTorrent wasn't available the developers of X-Plane would have to pay more for bandwidth, so having BitTorrent is good for commerce.
