  1. Stacks on Microsoft Officially Shows Longhorn, WinFX · · Score: 1

    Umm I think MS is going to have a problem with the stacks thing as apple patented that same thing Like 5 years ago. I like that concept of stacks. Just curious where this will go. Link to apples Patent http://patimg1.uspto.gov/.piw?Docid=06243724&idkey =NONE if you look at the application date of aug 1994 and the patent date of July 2001.

  2. Re:What Crack are you smoking? on PC World: Apple G5 Gets Trounced By Athlon 64 · · Score: 1

    UMM by definition a personal computer IS NOT a workstation.

  3. What Crack are you smoking? on PC World: Apple G5 Gets Trounced By Athlon 64 · · Score: 1

    Apple never said it was the first 64bit workstation seeing as SGI and Sun have had 64bit workstations for what 10 years now. Before you open your mouth get your facts. Also Final Cut pro smokes premier for speed across the board. Its a known fact that Premier is NOT well coded for the Mac.

  5. Linux in hollywood on Linux In Hollywood: Status Report · · Score: 1

    All I can say is that FilmGimp Sucks I have been using it for 2 months straight and its just sucks. I use it as little as possible. Most of the linux stuff we use are batch renders and commerical software. So the apps are all closed source and we have never had to fix bugs in the os.

  6. Re:Representative government? on House Votes to Launch Do-Not-Call List · · Score: 1

    BS. Its not a minor inconvience. and its not a few calls. My mother inlaw was getting around 15 a day. I just make them comply with all the federal laws and make them answer all the questions they are legally obligated to answer. Takes about 10 min to go through of them.

  7. Re:Abolish copyright, and this won't happen. on RIAA Sues the Wrong Person · · Score: 1

    Yes abolish COPYright so large corps and screw the little people even more. If it werent for copyrights how would artist of any kind make a living? You write a song and then someone else just copies it and puts it on there album and makes money from someone elses hard work. I spend a week doing a photoshoot for a promotion and then some company just scans my work and uses it to make themselves a billion dollars and I make $0. I dont think so. I think the RIAA should F itself. and the aritst they are screwing should get the money they deserver. And most band do not make much money from touring. They make money from selling albums as a result of touring.

  8. Gimp is gimped. HEEELLLPP on Photoshop in Linux Thanks to Disney · · Score: 1

    OK so how do you change the size of a brush short of making a new brush. I mean change is interactivly. I have to use filmgimp for a project and I for the life of me can not find out how to change brush size on the fly.
