The current development release of Cinepaint (0.19-1) has High bit depth and colour profile support; The current development release of gimp (2.3.4) has colour management, but still downsamples my images.
With support for 16bit/channel images and colour management, Glasgow (a branch of CinePaint) is shaping up to be a real contender in the Raster Graphics editing space. Some concerns though:
The documentation for cinepaint really really really sucks
The CinePaint/Glasgow developers seem to be under the impression that ALL of their users are in the motion picture industry, not still photographers). Consequntly, (as of CP 0.18) they've left out handy stuff like cropping and sizing the images in physical units (not resampling).
Why this article summary seems to imply that Vector graphics is the only market, I don't know.
Shkval type torpedoes are probably what they're concerned about. Keep in mind that not all potential agressors are state actors. A martyr may not care if they're immediately killed, and may have no navy to worry about.
It's all in the relationship between lens quality & sensor size. A lens small enough to fit in a cell phone is going to be pretty crappy, and a sensor small enough to fit in a cell phone is going to be small enough that chromatic aberation will be a concern. Upping the resolution will make the chromatic aberation even easier to notice. If you want a camera, buy a camera, not a cell phone.
There are lots of things that could be merged with a cell phone (mp3 player, voice recorder/dictaphone, PDA, thumb drive, etc). A camera is one thing that should not.
In fact that's how I do my medium format stuff. You get the detail of MF, the flexibility of digital (via a Canon 9950), and the convenience and output quality of a professional minilab.
At 7.5"x7.5" (on 8x10, with a border) I can see the difference in detail between MF and 35mm.
Check out these profiles. Now your local one-hour lab is correctly profiled too.
has a way larger gamut
Umm, no. We were talking about Frontiers and LightJets, not monitors. I encourage you to try printing a grey tone test strip on you inkjet on your best paper and comparing it to your nearest Frontier with a profile at dry creek photo. The inkjet ink will seep into the paper, exposing white fibers on the surface, desaturating and lightening the colour. This does not happen with photochemical processing.
One advantage of your printer over a non-profiled Frontier is that you can do the profile conversion while still working in 16bit mode, losing less information. If you have a profile for your local frontier, this is not an issue. The other advantage of your home printer is that many places with Frontiers only accept JPEGs.
I wouldn't trust a hotel (or net-cafe) computer with a USB stick with my private keys, certificates, or banking password. Even if you boot off your USB stick, how do you know it's not booting under Xen? I think it's more likely that the hotel computer has malware already. chambermaids are not sysadmins.
But a lot more likely that there was a faulty O-ring or something.
It was an old surplus ICBM they were using to launch it. ICBMs are build with the hope that your opponent will see how many you have and they'll never get used. In the event that they are used, you'll be launching so many that it won't matter if some don't make the trip. Add to that the decades of storage. Is it any suprise that when some are used for other purposes they fail?
Yeah, not too many concurrent connections. Fortunately I convinced him to scrounge up a used Pentium to run it on (he was a small independant retailer, and used it for his till & special orders tracking).
Slashdot Mirror
How would the discovery of other planets with earth-like features refute religious dogma?
If there is an all powerful deity, surely it's within the power of such deity to create more than one earth.
Genesis specifies how this earth was created. It says nothing of the existance or non-existance of others.
It's kind of like how physics neither requires nor rules out any deity.

Yeah, and all those doctors should stop doing Vaccinations since it cuts into their bottom line.
It'll be bundled with CHM exploits and ActiveX controls.
File anyways.
Umm... cubic curve interpolation (or even more simply, a capacitor) is probably not new since you studied DSP.
ooo... a capacitor...

Except that the Chinese Government did it before Rutan. And Rutan's never put anyone in orbit.
Umm... How does Canada meddle in the affairs of oil-producing countries?
It was the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
Very few others have been allowed to speak before the committee.
What it'll be used for is people organizing political protests. What they're hyping it about is kiddie porn.
I see no mention of electronic communications in the charter. Is there any precedent that a tap constitutes a search?
Because neither side wants to give negotiation leverage to opponents in future disputes.

Hey... What package do I need to install to get that, and what services does it support?

How do you know it has no OS?
Or just bring your own Laptop. Putting your confidential information in someone else's computer is not safe. ever.
