Intersting... Perhaps I'll get one of those. Trying to hang the old style on the wall just left me with a large pool of water and in unusable toilet...
And no need for a washer once I get this new toilet
Companies often provide information about product launches ahead of time with non-disclosure agreements. Perhaps it was a member of the press or some other non-Mac employee.......
And then paragraph 3 of TFA... claiming that Think Secret had induced these individuals to breach confidentiality agreements that they had signed with Apple. Perhaps that's what it was...
Apple really needs to start spreading their own rumors. That way the correct to false rumors ratio could be kept in their favor and the effect leaked truths have on product launches would be lessened as fewer people would believe them.
Yeah. People who buy AMD expect to be able to overclock them (at least I do.) If I bought a 2500+ expecting a barton 2500+ and it turned out to be an overclocked t-bred, I'd be pissed. I already own an overclocked t-bred, and there's no way that's going to compete with a 3200+ like that 2500+ Barton will.
But in the end, if you don't think it can be done, why take the job?
I'll quote the parent of the parent of the parent (or whatever) Yet from a marketing perspective, that's bad for business.... our company's goal is to maximize profit.... we often get contract modifications to fix those very problems we could have circumvented because the developers foresaw them coming. Essentially, we get paid to build the same system twice. How's that for consulting brilliance!"
To get hired to fix the problem after it doesn't work out, that's why.
What we need is more Agro-Waste to Oil facilities. The output oil could be used for making hydrogen or for straight poweruse without adding more carbon to the cycle. Unfortunately, it looks like the company no longer exists (as far as I can tell).
The real problem with the Hindenburg wasn't the Hydrogen inside, it was the flammable skin-coating on the outer covering. The Hydrogen alone wouldn't have reacted so wildly.
Ever burned a ziplock back full of hyrdogen? Once the flame burns through the bag there's a pretty big "poof". I don't know what you're talking about with hydrogen not reacting wildly, because it's violent as most other inflamible substances.
And what's this have to do with the article anyway?
On the flip side, if you show that you are brilliant up front and point out the problems early, they will tell everyone else what an incredible job you did, unlike those lazy, incompetent morons who they hired the last time who had to redo the whole project.
What planet are you from? If you tell the customer it can't be done for this that and the other reason, you're more likely to get canned as they move on to another consulting firm that can get the job done.
Even in this day and age, most people see software as a magical phenomenon that can do anything provided the magician is powerful enough. Telling them "no" means you're but a lowly apprentice.
Well, it was sort of a pratical joke and was seen by this moderator as a time waster or something. I don't know, from the defination ofwhat a troll is I'd have to say that your comment had nothing to do with flamebait, and should either be modded nothing, funny, or perhaps off topic, but not troll.
how is this anti-GIMP, anyways? it's not cross-platform, it's quite a bit slower, and is targeted at a totally different audience.
Well, lets define some words.
Anti - opposite of
GIMP - a cross platform graphics manipulation program capable of lots of high-end manipulations if you can figure out the interface.
Thus, Anti-Gimp would mean a program with a simple interface, not capable of doing a whole lot, Windows only, and as slow as GIMP is fast... Sounds like the headline perfectly matches the product... it's the opposite of a good but confusing program.
The interface appears to be simple like MS Paint's
you forgot like Photoshops... Anyway, this program appears to be usable, where-as I get lost using the GIMP. As this matures it could be more of a threat to GIMP, but for people that don't want to sit through the huge learning curve of GIMP and can't afford or don't want to pirate photoshop, a program like this will be of great use.
I'm not sure what "if you take a bunch from it" is supposed to mean, but:
without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software
sounds like you can merge it into commercial products, provided you include the origional copyright notice, where-as GPL requires the merged product is licensed under the GPL. This just requires you notify people you used their product in your developement.
My favorite MSPaint I think was back on Win3.11, when you could zoom both in and out to any percentage you wanted. Oh, and you could view the image full screen without having to open the "Windows Image Viewer"
But you can do transparancy on WinXP. I think you just need to install MS Office, first, or the feature is greyed out...
It only sucks for those who use photoshop extensively before switching to the GIMP
I never used photoshop before being introduced to the gimp. I was an MS paint user. I tried the GIMP for a week, barely able to do anything. I used photoshop on one of the school machines and was able to do exactly what I wanted in just a few sessions.
Slashdot Mirror
You'd have to be more careful using it as a step stool, though.
;)
Boy are we off topic
You mean we can sell those things??
Honey!
is developing a similar panel that relies on specially doped diamond dust.
Do you suppose the author meant dropped? Otherwise, I hope that dust has glaucoma!
how do you know they haven't been spreading their own rumours... ;)
Umm.. because they're sueing people.

Apple couldn't find the internal leak
Companies often provide information about product launches ahead of time with non-disclosure agreements. Perhaps it was a member of the press or some other non-Mac employee.......
And then paragraph 3 of TFA... claiming that Think Secret had induced these individuals to breach confidentiality agreements that they had signed with Apple. Perhaps that's what it was...
Apple Computer has sued website Think Secret for allegedly divulging trade secrets
Where do you read "Apple Computer has sued a 19 year old iMac owner and an 80 year old PC user"?
Apple really needs to start spreading their own rumors. That way the correct to false rumors ratio could be kept in their favor and the effect leaked truths have on product launches would be lessened as fewer people would believe them.
Yeah, if I can't hang it on the wall, I'm not going to own it.
It's the same reason I don't own a toilet or a washing machine.
Has anything changed?
Yeah. People who buy AMD expect to be able to overclock them (at least I do.) If I bought a 2500+ expecting a barton 2500+ and it turned out to be an overclocked t-bred, I'd be pissed. I already own an overclocked t-bred, and there's no way that's going to compete with a 3200+ like that 2500+ Barton will.

Also, burning hydrogen rises FAST! So it really isn't around long enough to cause harm to humans in most cases.
Unless their above the hydrogen source, such as in a car with a highly compressed tank of gaseous hydrogen.... Then they might notice
Unfortunately, it looks like the company no longer exists (as far as I can tell).
Ha, oops! With Yahoo's origional story down, I couldn't find the company name and assumed it was Agro or AgroWaste or some such...
Changing World Technologies, Inc. is the company in charge here.
What we need is more Agro-Waste to Oil facilities. The output oil could be used for making hydrogen or for straight poweruse without adding more carbon to the cycle. Unfortunately, it looks like the company no longer exists (as far as I can tell).

This looks like something I read in January's Popular Science last week!

Offtopic.. like this post
That's the funniest thing I've ever seen!!
Anyway, here's an actual mirror
And here's a MirrorDot Link in case that goes down.
So, those are some reasons you may not be seeing
the channel in your local cable or sattelite
market.
Now all we need is a reason some of us ARE seeing it in our local channel line up.

Sounds way more BSD than GPL to me.

The GIMP's interface is super confusing.
