Seriously what theh heck is wrong with saying your roots are in Nintendo? What I would take this shirt to imply would be that Nintendo were the ones who inovated video games largely back in the early ninties and late eighties. They made gaming incredibly fun, and that's where video gaming really started to take off. Contrast the fun early nintendo and super nintendo games with the crap that Sony is pushing no where most games sell because of pixelated breasts, blood, and by playing to the lowest common denominator.
It's one of the reasons I still have yet to own any Sony playstation product. And actually might never. Also one of the reasons I refuse to buy just about anything from Sony.
I agree... all the jobs I've had have always made me very discouraged when I didn't feel I was part of a group of people I wanted to succeed. Sometimes though you'd be part of one dept and you'd actually more want to simply show management that they were idiots or something... so you're try harder for your other co-workers more so than anything else.
That said working with my Church's youth group something I'm very passionate about... I'll give tons of my time, energy and even cash that I don't really have to the kids I work with because I know I'm actually making a difference.
Maybe I get modded Troll or Redundant because I have the balls to not post as Anonymous Coward whenever I say anything other than, "Linux R0XX0R5!!!one one one."
Fact is you know jack if you'd GIMP before Fireworks.
You show me what you do in GIMP and I'll show you up with something made in Fireworks... though that would probably be not only because you're using worse software but because you're also lacking talent.
And why the heck would I use Linux if I'm interested in Design... that's like suggesting that I use OS X for a gaming rig.
In the Graphics market, and by that I mean Graphic Design, open source has some place... but I can't see it taking over the the point where you could do genuinely good design just as well with open source as you could with closed source.
Photoshop, Fireworks, Illustrator, Freehand, etc. have no REAL competition in the Open Source market. Sure if you consider Photoshop just a really chunky upgrade to MS paint because all you do is take a brush and drag the cursor then sure the GIMP can compete. But if you want to get serious work, done fast with advanced features... you're out of luck without a photoshop licence.
Word Processors, drivers, encoding software etc are one thing. But when Open Source has to design an interface for an artist... it tends to not do so hot. I think GIMP MIGHT be able to be a genuinely useful tool in a pro artist's tool box... in a couple of years... but not any time really soon.
Oh please, this was not EXTREMELY sexist. This was a generalization based on sex. Sexist requires a discriminatory nature, or some sort of hate, essentially some sort of negative feeling toward the other sex. I do not have that, nor is that inherent in my comment.
I was more stating a general observation. If I honestly have to think of all the people I know, I can only think of one woman I have met offline who I would genuinely say was technosavy. She had an iMac and used Photoshop, Quark, and wanted an iPod more because it could be a portable HD. Kinda hott actually.
That said I have met some women who know how to use what they know, but who I wouldn't call technosavy. Then again perhaps my standards are high.
But frankly you will find guys are almost always more willing to fiddle with a program to figure out how it can do what they went, than your average woman will.
This doesn't mean that there are no women who know stuff, I'm just saying there are disproportional numbers when comparing genders.
My mom would probably say that she understands a DVR doesn't mean she does. My sister recently fubared the home network with a WiFi router, and claims that no it couldn't possibly cause a problem, with great authority. She doesn't even know what an IP address is. Women especially with technology if they use it enough to get by will claim they're experts.
Never thought of that... maybe they want Software Update to be remotely launched by Apple, and balloon widgets pop up all over the desktop and a big banner to fly across the screen saying, "Upgrade now or Ives will not love you!"
This is one reason I'm seriously considering buying a PowerMac to go with my PowerBook... processors are practically at a stand still, I figure this is one of the best times to buy a new machine to stay competitive. Not to mention a Dual 2 something after the next update will certainly be more powerful than my 1Ghz 12 inch PowerBook.
Uhh, It's now Final Cut Pro 5, not Pro HD (4), DVD Studio Pro 4, not 3. Soundtrack Pro (previously only sound track, I think that's now relegated to Final Cut Express), and Motion 2. These are MAJOR apps, and there are lots of people who they matter to. Complaining this gets mentioned on Slashdot along with "Random thing dealing with Robots or Google" is hardly mature.
You're getting mad that Slashdot is reporting on the release of Apple's flag ship OS and flag ship video editing apps, just wait till Slashdot reports that Apple soon will be updating their flag ship pro desktops!
On OS X I would have really cared about OpenOffice being updated... that is until iWork came out... it's significantly faster than M$ Office on OS X I find, AND it's at a reasonable price... not to mention OOo's complete disregard of the Mac platform...
My solution for those having trouble with spy ware...
step 1: Go to Apple.com
step 2: click on store
step 3: click on Mac mini
step 4: take out credit card
step 5: buy
step 6: there is no step six
Hey I'm so glad I found this App. I tried it before when they had that weird Ant thing going on on the icon.. this looks much better, feels better and isn't crashing it seems. I think I'm going to try and take notes in this and even write a ten page paper.
Haven't noticed any difference on OS X. That said I love that there is finally no little window off in the corner that can only be seen when using exposé.
That said... I use Safari.
Evolutionists who are so confident in their position that feel a need to bash people of any faith who don't agree with them have always been an object of my laughter. I'm sorry people can choose to disagree with you. I for one after studying biology came to the conclusion that I don't believe evolution could have possibly taken place. The advantage that I have is that in my class, I was one of the smartest. We had a fair number of Christian students, all of us came out more sure of our position than we went in.
This whole bogus idea that to believe in something other than evolution requires you to be stupid, I think is the brain child of someone with a very small penis. Let other people think differently than you. A theory of a young earth will not kill your children in the night. It won't eat your Debian boxes, and Microsoft is not a Christian company. So why hate on a religion that is simply not what you choose to believe.
I mean really, I was always waiting for the iPod photo, I probably would have bought one instead of my mini. Are you telling me you never had your iPod with you and said, wish I could get that on film?
if Apple could get a 2MP camera onto the end of an iPod, throw in a colour display, and keep it simple they would sell very well. We all know it... least... we assume they would.
Keeping in mind I said if Apple could do it, not if they just stuck one on the end, we have to keep in mind the fact that Apple kicks butt with design and thus it would actually be useful.
I imagine an iPod sized device with a micro drive ala the mini and a 2MP camera would be a really good paring. That said iPhoto if it was ported to the PC would most likely be less feature rich, they'd probably sooner bundle some basic software with it.
Sony will be clobbered, least I hope. That said Sony has tons of cash to throw at the thing, and I think they just might.
Dang I hate video games ever since Sony got involved. That said I might get a DS to match my Power Book and iPod mini, and get some of those GBA games I was looking at. Depends on what sorta job I get over the summer.

it's WMP... I'm not gona bother... Seriously... who in their right mind even has that installed? Gimmie quicktime or gimmie nothin.
It'll be used to buy Mac minis running OS X and iWork, iLife.

Shields up Mr. Warf! Arm Photon torpedos!
I for one would like to welcome our new dark Google overlords...
My solution for those having trouble with spy ware... step 1: Go to Apple.com step 2: click on store step 3: click on Mac mini step 4: take out credit card step 5: buy step 6: there is no step six
Now now, this wasn't designed by M$ remember, it's probably significantly more secure than that... give em at least three weeks.
Dang I just need to get my profs to approve me using this for papers and I'm set!

8 racks... brings new meaning to "look at that rack!"

Interview's not coming up when I open in a new tab in Safari.
Sony will be clobbered, least I hope. That said Sony has tons of cash to throw at the thing, and I think they just might. Dang I hate video games ever since Sony got involved. That said I might get a DS to match my Power Book and iPod mini, and get some of those GBA games I was looking at. Depends on what sorta job I get over the summer.
