I just upgraded to Photoshop CS24. Too bad the filters don't work, and neither does export to jpeg, but hey I should give Adobe some slack. I cannot expect them to do magic when rewriting their flagship product, right? Oh well, I guess it will become available in a few months with SP1.
Idiot.
CS Twentyfour? So they have really invented time travel then?
Did Adobe do it (in which case you'd be bounced into the Civil War if your mouse click is off by a pixel) or did Apple do it? (If so, say hi to Steve II for us).
As someone who actually uses this app, it seemed strange to me too when I first saw it. Like someone took away the admin/power user side and made it completely simple UI. They actually tell you to go and download an older version to do advanced stuff.
Something must have snuck past the (whoever looks out for shit like this) to make it into the wild. I do not mind a simple interface for the simple people, but give the power users an access panel or something.
If you like that, check out Lion Server. About 10 steps backwards from Snow Leopard Server. But it's easier. So easy, that you could put it on a toaster.
Somebody at Apple is regressing to the mean for some bizarre reason. I'm also OK with a 'simple' interface if you leave some functionality behind the scenes - dropdown menus (so 20th Century) or just a CLI - whatever. But something for those who walk upright all of the time.
And then there is Final Cut X. And Aperture.
The Apple singularity is going to be a little machine with a single button that just pulses quietly and does nothing at all.
Do you realize that these positions are not the all powerful sorcerer that it sometimes appears? You are expected to toe the company line. You have even more powerful bosses. You've got a corner office and a big budget but you are small fry compared to guys with walnut panel offices and the entire US budget under their thumbs.
What Hawley has done is limit his further employment with these folks. He might do just as well being part of the loyal opposition, but he isn't going to employed by anybody that talks to Cheritof and company. Takes some guts and some brains. He isn't going to win the Medal of Honor or the Nobel Peace prize, but he's done something....
Let me get this straight. He seems to get it now, but he didn't do anything to fix it when he had the chance. WTF?
Or did he only realize how !#%!!-up it was until he had to travel as an ordinary citizen?
Pro tip: Read the ENTIRE fucking article. Not just the part that is copied into the summary. He did try. The Forces of Evil (Congress and various Bureaucracies hobbled him). You may not believe that - it certainly is self serving, but it's not the first time this sort of thing has happened and likely won't be the last.
In September 2001, more people in the USA died as a result of road accidents than as a result of terrorist action. Imagine what would have happened if all of the money spent on the TSA had been spent on road safety instead...
Before you get in the vehicle, you would have to present government approved ID. Once in the seat, the driver would have to blow into a breathalyzer, give a urine sample for drug analysis and have their EKG examined by a board certified cardiologist before one could start the car. If that was successful, everyone would have to put on their helmets, fireproof jump suit, boot and gloves and then strap into a four point harness.
The car wouldn't start until you went through a computer controlled checklist. All personal electronics would be stored in a locked safe that stays sealed while the car is in motion. Should you be lucky enough to get this far, the vehicle would travel no faster than 35 miles per hour (and none of this kilometers crap) and go no more than 10 miles before you would have to ask permission to go further (which can take more than 24 hours in some cases).
Careful watch you ask for, you just might get it....
Happens every time in the US. See, for example, problems with Medicare, the FAA, NASA, FDA, the Forest Service and likely every other agency in the Beltway.
You have politicians with financial oversight, limited intelligence, very limited concentration and the powerful need to get reelected. You have bureaucracies who have really are examples of the undead. You can't kill them, no matter how hard you try. They grow and reproduce no matter how much you try to control it. The only way to grapple with the problem is to cut off their food supply. Since they are symbiotically attached to Congress, whose job it is to control the food supply - that option isn't available unless you're Ron Paul (and batshit insane about pretty much everything else).
The big mistake was creating the DHS in the first place. That was a clusterfuck of the very first order. Once you've created monsters like that there is no turning back. Godzilla is going to trample the countryside.
... you have to realize it could be because, in the war between Urban America and the rest of the country, Urban America with its more efficient energy usage and lower distances traveled - basically won the war.
Good. Then you can eat all the Internet you want. We'll keep the food.

Trying to simplify, particle behaviour is "driven" by their "wavefunction", particles and antiparticles have similar complex wave functions (complex as complex numbers, i.e. 2+5i), but happen to have the imaginary part of opposite signs, lets say if in a place and time a particle's wavefunction is 2+5i, the antiparticle would show 2-5i.
Simplify.
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Hmm. Get in rental car (always newer than my old truck). First thing I do is to figure out where they moved all the cheeses. Windshield washer. Over there now? OK. Emergency brake. Check. Radio. Check. WTF is that thing? Seat adjustment. Check. Squish the brakes. Ychh. Turn car on / off. You know, that's a pretty basic function.
If you drive off the lot without thinking of what you're doing, well, that's natural selection.

Sounds like you're advocating a police state there, buddy. Maybe it's better that they just check our undies.
watch, what ...
I'm never posting on that stupid iPad again.

Here's the bottom line:
Congress and The Bureaucracy.

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
Why don't we just eat the Chicken Littles?
Because they're too small.
You're going to need one hell of a lot more money than four billion little ones to get the country off of fossil fuels. Lots and lots more.
In fact, more money than you've got.
Four Billion dollars? (Evil laugh).
That's nothing! Absolutely nothing.

Or just keep teenagers and old women off the roads. And old guys. And soccer moms.
In fact, everybody except us fantastic ex Formula 1 Slashdotters. We know how to drive.
Or just press the clutch.
