If you are implying like... GIMP being a "simplier" design, then I will simply point and laugh at you.
Photoshop is good. I may have a biasedness toward it, because I learned how to use it with Photoshop 2.0 in Computer Graphics/Advanced Comp Graphics AP in highschool, on a Mac.
Saying that, Photoshop could certainly draw a parallel in the same way that I play Quake with just the keyboard... in the beginning there was Wolf3d and the keyboard... then Doom. Doom just added a couple of keys.. Doom 2 added a couple more. Quake added a few. Quake 2 added a few. Sure, it would be hard to learn to play well with the keyboard in Quake 2 if you are just starting out, but creaping in features every iteration is easy to adapt to.
When it comes down to it, if you do professional graphics, you use photoshop whether you like it or not. And with that, you will know how to use it. Most people on the "intarweb" with bad photoshop opinions simply warez'd some version, and cant figure out how all of those artists make such pretty pictures
FOr a good chunk of time, Unix could be broken up into two flavors, more or less: SCO Unix and BSD Unix. This is why BSD gets grouped in with unix... because that is what it is.
What universe are you from? Is that like the only MK you have on any console or something? If ANY of the MK's were worthy of the title "Genre Leader", it would have been MK3. Many more years/variations/time/sweat/love slaves/hampsters went into balancing and perfecting that game

Because you are incapable of catching up with Sun, pissed off you can't use their code in yours, and that you can't even come close to meeting requirements with your project, so Sun's Java MUST suck! And the only way it can be good is if it is open sourced and you can rip off of it!.... Right.
I dont see the benefit AT ALL. What happens when all of these JVMs start having different quirks? You then have to write your Java applications toward specific JVM (Wow... just like what everyone bitched at Microsoft for). Then what is the point?
Java isnt closed in the sense that no one can get the code. Im not sure of the money you need (if any), but every JVM is well tested to make sure it does things in the way that Sun intended them to. That's what MAKES it a usable platform... and Im sure Sun really wouldnt like to support there multitudes of customers who are trying to run a java applications that seems to only work on the L33t-h4x0r-optimized JVM.
I have started to look into having some of my cheaper machines grid together to be a nice cluster, though I haven't found a solution to something I thought would be necessary for this kind of environment... Thread Migration.
Sure, it may be much harder then migrating a whole process, but too often spawning whole processes is simply not the answer to SMP programming.
Thus far, I have looked at Mosix/OpenMosix and OpenSSI, and both fail here. Can anyone give me some insight perhaps? Maybe I am missing something.
Maybe you live in the stone age, but I know we use RAR here almost exclusively.
The reason Zip became so popular was its speed/efficiency comprimise back in the days where it mattered. Using zip, nowadays, is simply due to habit and culture. There isn't an advantage for MOST like there used to be.
RAR compression is better and has a very nice archive spanning feature. Believe me... this is ever so handy when backing up 40GB of data to a file system/Software that can't address files larger then 2GB. Couple that with the free Stuffit Expander, and I can't come up with a reason you WOULDN't use RAR.
You know... it's people like you that I would love to jam a broken bar dart deep into the canal of your best ear.
Most of the reasons for "Bloat", "Lax Security", and "Instability" are because of constant need to keep every version/update to Windows compatible with even the earliest versions. With this Service Pack, a bazillion people voiced out that they want security... even at the price of compatibility. Now you bitch. Had they done the same old thing, you would still bitch.
This post is simply an obvious attempt to grab some of those first post mod points. Thanks for wasting a few minutes of my life.
Thanks for taking such a GREAT APPROACH to your heat problems. I can't WAIT to use one of these new processors in my desktop, only to watch my whole computer DROP IN SPEED as I am an hour into Doom 3. I don't know that I can speak for everyone, but the whole design efficiency thing is overrated anyway. I simply can't live without the noise of a jet engine in my case. Keep cranking up those Mhz and I will continue to have my cpu throttled everytime I do something useful.
I dont understand what is SO DIFFICULT for you to wrap your noggin around:
If you couldn't have pirated it you would've paid for it because you obviously wanted to use the product.
For me personally, that statement is plain out false. Who knows WHAT how the majority sways... but you have no right to simply assume the above statement to be true. Id certainly take say... an Xbox for free... would I ever pay for one? No. Never.
Like I retorted to another post, this isnt about using pirated software. It is about piracy not being a LOSS if I would never buy it. Making it so you HAVE to pay for software always wont get most of those pirates to pay for it... they use it because its free. Like I said previously, this isnt a defense of piracy. Its simply a retort that because I use X software doesnt mean Id pay for it if that was my only option.
My arguement is you can't claim a LOSS because I pirated something... because you have no idea (and probability agrees), if I couldnt pirate it, I just wouldnt use it... therefore, no money lost. I am NOT trying to defend piracy

SpeedStep clocks DOWN your CPU (half speed) when it detects that it is too hot. The issue here isn't standard performance.

If you get a free copy of the program, that is $XXX less they bring in.
B.S. Thanks for feeding into ??AA math. If I was never going to pay for it EVER, it can't be LOST money
