Apps like office and photoshop ARE priced right for their intended audience. These are professional tools for professionals that use them to save time ( = money)
If joe hobbyist can not afford photoshop then
a) he should do the research and find out the the $99 photoshop elements type app will provide him with more than enough power and buy IT
or
b) Do not pirate someone else's intellectual property.
or
c) use an open source equivalent
You are right though, that there are open source alternatives.
I just wish people would use those if they can not afford a program instead of being flat out hypocrityes, theives and copyright infringers...
and becuase you can not wait 5 days for a FLAW not a proven hack you will make people from suffering download-istis making them less likely to download future paths.
downloading 19 paths over two weeks.. ya sure. maybe in your world...
I wish I had mod points right now... I have a feeling that the tired , old, and WRONG "He said he invented the internet" phrase is going to be posted here a lot.
For the record, He said no such thing. He did help to focus attention on it while in the Senate. More so than any other politician at the time...
I watched the show when it was on the air but was not that into it. But hey it was scifi on TV and the only other scifi worthy of watching was Farscape/.
I recently rented the whole series via netflix and enjoyed it even more the 2nd time around...
yah. vendors all the time give free trials of products.
then they stop.
if i like it, i BUY MORE.
If its useful to you, then you have 2 choices:
a) buy it. b) shut the hell up and stop using it.
simple.
oh wait. cry on slashdot.org and argue 'free as in beer and peanuts and potatp chips."
And that person was REVERSE ENGINEERing their product. Geebus, its open source people, that's doesn't mean just MAKE copies of exitsing product. Be innovative.
Slashdot Mirror

me too.

But you can bet the farm I'll still tivo thru that inane theme song.
I guess you have not seen a powerbook because your statement is just false.
and becuase you can not wait 5 days for a FLAW not a proven hack you will make people from suffering download-istis making them less likely to download future paths.
downloading 19 paths over two weeks.. ya sure. maybe in your world...
so would you rather have 19 single downloaded patches?
the time from discovery to fix was relativly short.
They decided to put them all in a single patch.

Give him his due.
I really liked it too!
I think it gave a totally different feel for the series...
goes to show you Mr. Bermanm.... it does matter
>They are convinced the ratings dropped due to the show competing against other Trek re-runs."
That, and the stupid Enterprise theme song they would never apolgize for.
Mr. Bermann, I am looking in your direction.....
So its really is true:
Diamond (encryptions) are forever!!
Buh wump dump.
(thanks. I will be here all week.)
i use OSX. i download it from versiontracker then just drag it to my applications folder...
uh no. they were running ie and are not super newbies
I have download it 3 times for the same machine.
(1.0. - 1.0.3)
I am sure others have done the same.
I got a cold splash in the face last week when i told my client they should be using firefox. They responed "what's firefox"
Its a little too early to break out the "IE is dead" champagne...
I hope it will happen someday but there is much more work to be done.
If any NASA or JPL people are reading this thread I have one thing to say:
Mission _very_ accomplished.
The human race knows infinitely more of our red neighbor thanks to your hard work.
THANK YOU!
Crackers don't matter!

Looks good. I'll definately buy a ticket.
sad...
just sad...
>giving the appearance of impropriety yah. the appearance of allen's stock going up if the EU leaves microsoft alone...
Well Senator M-O-D Santorum had better hurry up and pass the bill because he is about to have his lunch handed to him in his 2006 relection efforts:
8 65
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/4/21/11132/9
He's dropping faster than a rock so if this bill is stalled or set aside Accuweather will have to find some other "go to" guy...
Not that would be too difficuly unfornataly...
its because software companies have these things called people. Only they are not "things" they are human beings and should be treated as such...
and hint hint... treating your people BETTER usually results in BETTER software with BETTER profits...
>Just because Microsoft changed their stance from pro to neutral (not against), this makes them bigoted?
Well it certainly does not make them courageous...
A trait we all should work towards having...
Shame on microsoft.
All I know is that if i were them I would DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING...
;)
What's the worse the could do to me?
but there are XXX times more windows geeks with XX times more solutions that all compete at a lower rate...
and if one of them flakes its easy to find another one...
yah. vendors all the time give free trials of products.

so they can pay for it.
I went to the store today. i had to pay for bread and milk.
the manager did not understand my "free and in freedom is on the march" arguments he told me to just pay the damn 4 bucks.
Is this what he means when he says:
Freedom is on the march(TM)
