Well of course the Gimp developers are fully aware of the need for 16-bit support. And in the future GIMP may have it. But it does not have it now, and since 16 bit is needed for just about everything besides average web, than for MOST image processing needs, GIMP will not do.

A typically stupid remark. I am not a C / C++ application developer, and so will not be assisting in GIMP development. That does not mean I have no insight or right to comment on the usability of GIMP in the fields that I do know about, thank you.
If you're going to have to hand develop an 8x10 photographic plate, then scan it on a unique, hand built drum scanner and post-process it on a supercomputer, the first question should be is this scene worth 4gigapixels?
Probably not, based on your interpretation. But since suitable drum scanners are available off the shelf, and a "supercomputer" is not needed, just a particularly strong workstation, you question is not valid.
My guess is you where modded "troll" by some geek who thinks he is an artist! But it's really true. And, funny in a way. Sort of like people who think they can write, working on that novel in their spare time...
Exactly. And professional users who dare pipe up about these things when discussing why GIMP is not yet better than Photoshop, and why GIMP is not ready to replace Photoshop in a professional setting, get flamed to Hell.
Since the $250,000 was _FOR_ the ad, how is it shrinking? Since this is the Firefox FanBoi Project, no one seems to be interested in asking exactly what's going on, just trust them with 250k?
Not sure why the price tag is an issue since according to reports, they took in better than $250,000. Wonder where all that moo-lah is collecting interest?
Stories like this confirm that Slashdot is the "new" FuckedCompany. Now, being nothing more than a weak parody of itself, Slashdot has sunk to the level of reporting on the soap operas of dying tech companies. The user commentary often eclipses the grammatical and intellectual level of the "editors", but al too often both sink to juvenile pitter patter centered of social status pecking orders. Like I said: Slashdot is the New FuckedCompany.
As I'm sure you very well know, everything posted at Slashdot is at least the second time around. Why? Slashdot is formulated around an amazing concept: It's a news digest. In other words, Slashdot itself never actually writes anything (with the exception of book reports and Ask Slashdot, maybe a few others). And as we all know, this is a good thing since it is fairly obvious that Slashdot "editors" are illiterate. So, "what's your bitch"? Don't like Slashdot? There is always K5.
A Service Pack should fix bugs, provide MINOR enhancements, and performance tweaks. Anything more is a version change.
This is more or less an indication that the initial release was premature and is what the *nix community might call a "Release Candidate", or even a beta that has few enough (!) bugs to be marginally usable.

Can you imagine if Tolstoy where around today and had to write an email style manual?
Many sites have redundant hosting via multiple server locations. I own 4 servers, two on the East Coast, two in Vancouver BC. In a way, it serves to load balance, but also, if on or two go down, there are always the others, and it's very unlikely that both Washington DC and Vancouver BC will go totally down at the same time. There are many people who do this.
Can I tell you how different these four experiences were? I was branded a nerd growing up because of my success in math, but it wasn't a horrible stigma. It wasn't like I couldn't play baseball or basketball because of that. It wasn't like I got beaten up every day. And I got a lot of encouragement from people all around me -- even from some of my peers.
Also, Google does not bring up anything that connects any "Clinton Curtis" to software programming. My opinion is that this is tin foil hat material. But it is fun to watch people run around frothing at the mouth!

It sounds like you have personal knowledge of this? Hope you've had all the kids you want!
My point, Mr. Coward , is that people who say that GIMP is ready to replace Photoshop are factually wrong.

I think where the "moo-lah" is going is for wickedly quick game boxes - er, I mean workstations for rendering print ads...
Exactly. And professional users who dare pipe up about these things when discussing why GIMP is not yet better than Photoshop, and why GIMP is not ready to replace Photoshop in a professional setting, get flamed to Hell.
Umm... sure, let's patronize them.. that makes sense....
I think some people are crazy.
They want EYE BALLS, there for the NYT fits the bill. I mean really, who would you suggest? USA Today?
Because as we all know, the "little guy" owns a $27k RAID....

Damn, that makes me all hot and flustered just thinking about it!

Nothing beats my SPARC 10, but RHEL3 is very close and a lot cheaper.

Top ten? Top two. High end of top two.
If we are all thinking "EXCELLENT! So long, AOL", dream on. It is but a blip. There will ALWAYS be nubes.

Well, in a way, they are. Because they are at two physically different locations (facilities on opposite coasts), essentially, this is the case.

Do you REALLY think GWB et al would put up with / accept a threat from China to nuke LA? Really? How's the CRACK treating you, dude.
Yes, but did you get laid?
This is not true.
