Hmmm, for sights I surf, it makes more sense to steer with my tongue. it's always out anyway. I guess I could steer with another appendage too. Wait, that would really work!!!
I think we are all ready to move to OO.org, however, they really need to improve their embedded help, making it a little easier to find things.
Also, OO.org, and probably star office needs to allow the settings for new pages to stay the same. I:m tired of adjusting my margins for every page I create.
More amazing than the images from the contest are the fact that people have been using this program for 10 years making such beautiful images and the documentation is like 50% complete.
It does look a lot like CSS or perhaps SVG would be more accurate.
It would take somewhere between 1 minute and 1 week to render a 30 frame series for a scene. Depends on the calculations.
normally if you don't have any speculars, and mirror reflection, you've cut your time considerably.
photoshop and POVRAY is like comparing slashdot to michaelmoore.com
POV RAY is not for the feint of heart, that's for sure. I don't know about most slashdotters, but I have a great challenge as it is, learning blender and YAFRAY to create and render 3D scenes.
Go To blender.org and download 2.34, you won't be disappointed. OK, I maybe you will be disappointed, but at least you'll have GUI to learn.
being a patron of the kansas library, I can tell you that libraries can and Should request what they want if the RIAA is going to pay back in CD's. If the RIAA is going to take the low road (big suprise) and go the low cost route, libraries already have a ton of patron requests in their database of music, also any requests for library network items could be filtered in and created as a CD request form.
In the entire state of kansas, they would have no need for as many copies of those CD's as the RIAA would give. They would end up in the rummage sales at the end of the year and eventually the trash. Could the RIAA get any lower?
I don't mind some library censorship, it's still possible to buy a book in whatever subject you want, or to get it from the libraries internet in many cases too. Even if the library censored eminem, who cares. Their track record is pretty good nowadays in Kansas and the real issue is that a normal item at the library costs them at or over retail price. Why would they want to spend a lot of money questionably violent materials just to avoid a censorship rep. They should stock up on more language learning content and updating computer books, as they go out of use in 8 months.
Why don't we all just skip this speaker crap, and spend some time in the real world listening to things approach us. Going to the bus depo to enjoy the aural experience is a lot cheaper then setting up to hear it on TV.
A photographer should get out of the printing business and worry about the photography business. then they can get a ton more work done. I don't know a single photographer that loves making CD's and prints. they love to shoot, and do it right.
maybe a photographer can "give up" a revenue stream so a hardworking young man or woman can save some much needed money as they start their lives together in marriage. Of course, why would the photographer care, it's his IP right? He should be able to over price his services. "Hmm, let's see I'll charge 2 grand for this wedding for 3 hours of work, but only 200 dollars for this frat party dance."
whatever, such BS if I've ever heard it. This world is more and more dishonest every day.
I know what I have learned back in grade school will apply to this project.
step 1. get shoe box step 2. get needle step 3. get charged coupled device CCD step 4. make small hole in box step 5. put CCD in box. Step 6. Connect shoe box to PC Step 6. aw crap, go to Circuit city.
I miss my stack of 38 dusty encyclopedias my father forced me to use when I asked him a question back in gradeschool. That's where you score REAL knowledge. According to wikipedia, we've sinced landed on the MOON? Umm, I think not. Back to the books I think for some legitimate fact checking.
Yeah yeah yeah, we're all destined for bigger things. High School is a joke, college is a festival. whatever. Did you all ever think that, maybe this useless life with no meaning where some people are lucky is actually a test? Maybe that everyone is tested in different ways. Some are doomed to have to work hard 6 days a week at a factory, without being creative. Some are creative that are born crippled. Some are blessed with big brains and cursed with the unhappiness that everyone around them is keeping them down. We all have these problems. But what really seems to matter in my experience is the little things you've done for people. The notes you've given friends, the times you've endured a little suffering to benefit someone else. When you were polite and friendly to a stranger for no reason at all.
This test, you might fail. you might not overcome what was given to you as your life problems. You might think, the world is full of useless bags of crap and I think I'll commit suicide to rid myself of it. well, you failed buddy. You didn't try to see the connectedness of you and your ignorant poor filthy brethren.
had you smiled, and helped that retched homeless person, instead of laughing at them, maybe you wouldn't feel like such a genius. you'd see where you little contributions is what people care about in this world.
Why does everyone even try to bring up the simplicity competition, when even that is so subjective. With Kids, things don't always have to 'make sense' where to click. Everybody needs a little (or a lot) of guidance starting computers. And after that, a little time to gain their muscle memory.
So many people will say, Mac is easier, Linux isn't there yet, Windows is satan.
Most people learn tasks on a computer a little at a time. I work at a software company and i train my company's sales reps. Good software gets challenged all the time because people don't 'get it' the first time they see it.
I'm sorry, if you want people to get it so quickly, then prepare to remove some functionality.
I love my atari 2600, but I can't do much with it, even though it's simple. We are balancing between a ton of easy devices that do one thing good, or using 1 complicated device (interface) that does it all. So you want clutter on this end, or on that end?
plug and play is great, makes sense. I'd say it's a necessary focus to get linux to top dog status. But I've gotta say, if I can download some software for free, and install it on as many machines as I want, that is much easier to me, than than having to save up all the money for each copy like I would with Mac or Windows. I like not having break laws to get things done.
If you run through mechanicals a few times, it gets easy. whether gui or command line.
do not get the Mustek for family stuff. It only shoots at 10 fps at 640 x 480. that is weak!!
get a mini DV, since they are smaller, and since you aren't doing any real filmmaking, you don't need any manual controls, though manual focus option would be cool. all the brands at a retail store are decent. Get the warranty, it's worth it.
and the whoever stated above regarding the 8mm tapes as the same "form factor" as Hi 8/ D8 is a complete nerd.

I keep my personal stuff written on white legal pads, and my work stuff written on yellow legal pads.
You know, we need to get out of this 499 price range you see everywhere.
it's software. it's not a hospital visit, or life saving, or hunger feeding, or shelter giving.
$7 a pop. that is the new standard. who's with me???!!!

1. Learn POVRAY = 68 Years
2. ENTER CONTEST and beat the other guy who knows POVRAY
3. PROFIT!!

All my virus infected bogus gmail invites have made it to their destination, and that's whats important here I think.

I've already patented a device to protect from laptop burns. It's called a pillow and a 12oz Miller HighLife.
this should have been a score 5
