  9. Wont work on The Keyboard That Could Phone Home · · Score: 1

    Because probably 99.99% of the internet traffic goes though various kinds of traffic shapers, meaning that outgoing packets are rescheduled and all timing info is lost.

    Cool idea, though...

  12. Re:yawn on Beginning GIMP · · Score: 1

    btw, talking about film gimp... 16bit and hdr support was available in filmgimp for a couple of years now. you should try and ask yourself one simple question - why is that it was never merged back in gimp itself? ... read some forums and docs sometimes and educate urself... it helps.

    i started looking at gimp probably in 1997 or 1998... it was very promising then but now it looks just like outdated amateurish piece of crap... it came close but never made it... there are some new apps that already look much more powerful than gimp.

  19. RAD on Google, Microsoft, Sun to Fund New Internet Lab · · Score: 1
    Once Crawfish, Swan and Pike
    Set out to pull a loaded cart,
    And all together settled in the traces;
    They pulled with all their might,
    but still the cart refused to budge!
    The load it seemed was not too much for them:
    Yet Crawfish scrambled backwards,
    Swan strained up skywards,
    Pike pulled toward the sea.
    Who's guilty here and who is right is
    not for us to say-
    But anyway the cart's still there today.

  23. At these prices on Why Do-It-Yourself Photo Printing Doesn't Add Up · · Score: 1

    ... why bother shooting at all?

    I'm not talking about family pictures, but there is a lot of professionally shot and professionally printed photo albums of everything you can think of, why don't just buy them?

    .. please tell gimp developers to fix Curves dialog and use splines instead of Bezier, just like photoshop does... oh, and while we at it, please, please... PLEASE add duotone/tritone support.
