    Right. Some AC on Slashdot is worried that the nefarious bean counters at Apple will delve deep into the logs at Slashdot to find out that this guy actually is running a Gateway box running XP.

    Then you wind off on a tangent about Intel?

    Time to go outside.

    Nice try. Affinity is OK but it's about five years behind Photoshop.

    And nothing under $20K touches After Effects.

    But yes, Adobe needs to summarily execute the entire Marketing Department take six months off, give everybody still standing a six pack and a group hug and just FIX bugs instead of creating new ones.

    Grrr.

    Best experience with my Surface Book was when it died after six weeks. Back to the Mac. I really wanted to like that machine. Great keyboard (until it went tits up that is).

    Stupid OS X works better with old versions of Exchange than Windows 10.....

    Sigh.

    Somebody really wants to be a 'Space Cadet'.

    Actually, it sounds like somebody wants their own budget.

    All wars are resource wars.

  12. Is it just me or does this read more like an advertorial than a traditional ./ post?

    That would be pretty hard to do.

  13. Back to Twitter with you, Mr. Trump.

  14. Yep, those little tiny lidar pulses. Nasty things, those.

    Look, you've got for years with just aluminum foil. In a car, you're surrounded by sheet metal. Orders of magnitude better.

    Really, generally available huh? I can just spend a couple of hours reading the book?

    No, GA isn't the answer. Unless your needs are quite modest, your aircraft won't be. Which means time and money. Which, interestingly, is what commercial aviation offers.

    How very Republican of you to blame the child instead of the gun. If they didn't have the gun, then this would not have happened.

    I'm picturing a system in the not too distant future where people customize their vegetables with smartphone apps controlling gro lights. While the first pass (increasing vitamin D in mushrooms for example) doesn't bother me much, I get the heebiejeebies from thinking about what about what a decade of research (and perhaps some additional control inputs) could do.

    Those kind of mushrooms come to mind (so to speak). Or super carrots.

    Brave New World, indeed.
