Why do these "blogs" even keep logs of referer links? This is pure narcisism (and more importantly, a waste of disk space - even though disk is cheap, it's still worth more than someone else's paltry feeling of acceptance). If you're going to say something, just say it. Don't base your life around how many people like what you say. "Ohh, somebody linked to my journal, that means I'm special and I can now feel good about myself." Ahh - get a life.
Isn't that the whole point of blogs? To see who is reading you? and I'm sure that most of the blogging people are preteen/teen kids so: "Ohh, somebody linked to my journal, that means I'm special and I can now feel good about myself.", shallow yes, but most likely true.
No, you had a good point. It made sense to me, since I posted it.. I have a problem with that.. I do things that make sense to me, but other people are like, WTF?:)
Granted, many things may not change... but Would you hire some person that has a RHCE for 6.0 when RedHat 11.0 comes out? I think it's good to have "expiration" periods for certain certifications. Keeps people fresh and hip with the kids.
I mena, would you want a MSCE for win 3.11 (or whatever the title was then) working on your XP servers? (not like you have any.. but use your imagination) Granted that 3.11 to XP is a 5 versions up (if your path was 3.11->95->98->98se->ME->XP).. know what I mean?
I loaded the Windows version of the GIMP to give him a chance to get away from Photoshop. I'm trying to convince him that it is worth his time to learn GIMP rather than Photoshop which will continue to cost him money that he doesn't have. Unfortunately, I'm not experience enough with any of these tools to be able to say that the GIMP has all the features that he will want from Photoshop, or to help him learn it.
GIMP does not have everything Photoshop does, nor is it an easy transition. I get to play with Photoshop & a few other Acrobat programs at work (comes from being the only geek in the office) and there's a world of difference between GIMP and photoshop.
If he doesn't have the cash for a full version of Photoshop, he might want to look at the dumbed-down version. It's rather crippled, but it might be closer to what he needs than GIMP. (Then again, it might not--I don't know what he needs, and I haven't played around with the dumbed-down version.)
As for Photoshop costing money... it's perpetual licensing, so he can stop upgrading at just about any time.
You are correct, GIMP does NOT compare to Photoshop.. I mainly use my win box for deleopment since thats where the better tools live. (If anyone dissagrees with me, point me to a program that has the same features, or close to, Photoshop, Homesite, Flash, and the JPEG compression of Debabalizer and I'll will blow away my last remaining winbox and install Debian. (other two machines are RedHat))
In the middle of July, my Winbox's MB and CPU took a dump, and I was unable to purchase a new set, so I was forced (if you call it that) to use Linux for all of my deleopment work. XEmacs for the html and GIMP for graphics. One of the things that earked me about GIMP was the extreme lack of keyboard shortcuts. To scale an image in Photoshop, ALT-I, S. Quick. GIMP I had to use the mouse, or hit the arrow keys a crapload of times.. Thats the one major thing that GNOME is lacking (haven't tried KDE since 2.1 or something.. so I can't say if KDE has it) is nice keyboard shortcuts for the menues.
Anyway, that's my 0.02.. IMHO, GIMP cannot replace Photoshop.. but it's a neat tool.
(I know I'm gong to get modded down, so let the modfest begin..)
How about Linux desktops stop trying to look like another OS? Both KDE and gnome have thier version of the "start button", gnome with the mac menu bar, there's NO reason to bitch about a "unified" desktop when everyone is trying to emulate a different os.
BTW, a common desktop style isn't a bad thing.. and as for your 'unified processor' processor bullsizzy, AMD and Intel have common shit.. as both have chips that run x86 right? Yeah.. un-huh.
Granted, i LOVE the fact that I can modify my menues look/feel/sytle hell, even the position. It's all about configuration, the 'other' os's don't have that. RedHat isn't stopping you from changing YOUR system, they are just making sure the everything runs together seemlessly. Themes match, it looks good to your eyes. It's a freaking PAIN to get KDE and gnome to look the same.. unless the theme author that whose theme you use is cool enought to make a theme for KDE, gnome, gkrellm and whatever can be themed..
Shit, I still use Enlightenment 0.16.5 because I like the theme that I use.. (Dark One or something like that) That and I'm so damned use to using Enlightenment that when I try other WM's (sawfish.. IceWM..) I've ALWAYS gone back.. (I used WindowMaker before Enlightenment.. but I still like E more..) Nautilas is bad enough.. CPU hog.. since gmc isn't supported anymore... (so I run a 400mhz machine... it's got 512megs of ram!:) )
I still think that X should be redone.. as Windows is a crapload faster in rendering windows then X is.. but that's a different story..
Also, keyboard short cuts for menues like windows has would be fucking AWESOME! Ever try to scale an image in gimp from the keyboard?
I've never used Suse, or Debian (tried to install potato from ISO's and it didn't work..) got started on Slack.. moved to RedHat.. and that's all I've ever used since.. I for one am glad they they are taking a risk(?) to make hte 2 desktops look as one.. My (red)hat's off to them!

I received 3 this morning, at first I thought they were real although the usual reports have an URL where you can comment on the report, etc. Then I looked at the headers and noticed they all came from 64.70.191.50 which is nowhere close to the spamcop.net or julianheight.com IPs.
By the time the second and third messages came in, the IP was already in bl.spamcop.net, which I thought was pretty funny.
Just treat them as spam and do your normal bit on them.:)
Disney is fscking dead. Look at all of the horrible part 2 movies they Disney has released over the last few years.. Beauty and the beast 2, 102 dalmations, return to neverland, lady and the tramp 2.. dead... now tron 2.. key-ryst! Stop it!
I was able to use my grandmothers ring, it had quite a lot of diamonds in it, and to make things even better.. they don't cut the diamonds like that any more and it had an antique look and feel (you know made between 1939 and 1940)..
You are correct.. I've never installed Linux on my mom's machine.. and since she has run windows since 3.1, and is used to windows, it would be hard for her to migrate over to linux. Hell.. I'm over at her house almost every weekend showing her how to do the same task I saw her do the weekend prior. And besides.. there's no AOL for Linux yet.. And there's nothing that's mind numbingly simple as AOL on Linux..
Besides.. I have a day job.. I don;t want to work my free hours as tech support..
Build Your Own System.. I assume that most/. geeks do anyway.. Generally people who can;t build thier own system will find linux hard to grasp anyway.

SpamAssassin with DCC works real good.. Razor is a little bit buggy at the moment.. I have tuned my spam assassin a bit and have a HIGH count folder.. (any spam that scores over 12) for the past month, it's had a 100% hit rate. No false positives. Then there's my Score of 5 to 11.9999999999 folder.. it's about 80% spam, 20% that would be spam if I didn't actually know the person) "Come to my show my band is playing here 18+" stuff like that.. so my white list is growing.. and spam is going away.
You also have to realize that NOTHING will be perfect. Razor is a good Idea, but when you have ONE person report a CERT advisory, or other mailling lists, the false positives rise.
Even if SpamAssassin/DCC/Razor took one piece of spam out of my mailbox, it would be worth it.
