    I have Photoshop 3.0 on my SGI Indy.

    Motif it's not the stop-gap here - Photoshop for unix is actually the Mac OS 7 version recompiled using some crazy libraries who emulate the Macintosh 7 API using Motif. Yes, there's a menu bar - as a separate thin motif window (when there isn't a opened image) and all the mouse buttons are treated like a single one.

    See here and here.

  12. CF on How Does Flash Media Fail? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Some years ago i used a 64Mb CF to install a minimal Debian on a IBM PC110 with 8Mb of ram. As the install process wanted more memory i created a 12Mb swap partition.
    Big mistake.
    The install took a whole day. I happily ran some programs the next day and crash - kernel screams of i/o errors in the swap partition.
    Formated the card MS-DOS - it found a few bad sectors. Then i ran Norton Disk Doctor and at every run it was founding more and more bad sectors. But each time i was re-formating the card using a camera, the bad sectors were shifting around. Unusable.

    FYI: IBM PC110 is a 486 Palmtop with a CF slot to be used as hard-drive. The CF interface is IDE.

    The Mac OS X installer is multi-language. All the linux distros have multi-language installers. I was expecting MUCH more from Windows 7.

    Have you ever noticed the lights dim when you turn one on? Vacuum pumps, especially ones that have to suck air through a bag filled with dust and lint, are pretty power hungry.

    If your lights dim when you turn on the vacuum cleaner your electrical wiring is undersized.
