I recently increased the memory on my laptop, and voila, since my configuration is changed (WTF?!!!) i have to reactivate. Not only XP, but office as well, which btw requires the CD. I have to find my legal CD which I paid for, find my external cd, connect, and activate....
I use personalized google homepage for a while with a bunch of rss feeds. When I could not find a stream with a kind of information I would like in my frontpage, I started writing my own gadgets (http://melekzek.com/google/). What google does provide is a a nice set of functions to fetch a website, and using javascript parse it to form a new html to display inside the gadget. Homepage gadgets can be used in google desktop but not vice versa. Gadgets use html and javascript, you can open them in a text editor, and change to fit to your needs.
1. Write a google gadget
2. ?
3. Profit !!!1111
After I submit my gadget, google thanked me by sending a free tshirt, so I guess that is the 2. step.
IMHO, v7 was the best PS version. Its all downhill after that. Try doing the same thing in v9 and v7. v7 uses less memory, and is a lot more responsive. After using v9 for a while, v7 just flies. I know a lot of people who use v7 for most of their work, and v9 only for some specific things (e.g. more tools support 16 bit, a bunch of new tools such as shadow/hightlight, warp, etc)
Although we can argue that scheme based scripts in gimp are "potentially" more powerful than recording actions in PS, for most of the time, simple recording can do the job. Now, I need to open a bunch of files in a given directory, apply a serious of filters, and save. In PS, I can do this in a second. In gimp, I have to write scheme code, debug somehow, which takes far more time than doing this in PS. Not that I do not enjoy writing functional code (i used to be in love with caml), but I do not think that the artistic community will share my love.
If you end up using maps instead of a software, be aware of the datum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_system used in the map. Because the earth is not a perfect shape, different countries use different projections, called map datum. You should set your GPS to the same datum as the map you are using.
well, 4x5" large format slide contains 10 times (or a lot more) more detail than 35 mm slide anyhow. What about scanning 4x5" large format slide on a film scanner ?
I do not know whether large format film scanner exists, but you get my point...
i have to agree that flatbed scanners with transparency adapter sucks. Some of the newer flatbed scanners have slide ports build in, you should check one of those. Or look for second-hand film scanners, you can get 2700 dpi film scanner[http://search.ebay.com/polaroid-film-scann er] for less than 50$, which will do a lot better than a transpareny adapter.
they were waiting until the economy stabilizes and single digit inflation rates. 6 zeros will be deleted from the turkish currency starting with the new year.
They make big news stories about how they used the latest technology and how it is going to revolutionarize the animation blabla. The bottom line is the results are ugly. The simple reason of using motion capture is because motion capture technician is cheaper than a good animator. And they can make large amounts of animation, fast, and did i mentioned cheap. Yes, they used similar techniques in Gollum, but a group of animators edited the motion capture results and added fine scale animation which motion capture cannot capture yet.
However, I don't think it's quite the same as visiting a place for yourself.
you are visiting the place. the ar equipment adds virtual people to the scene you are looking at. I saw some of their presentations in siggraph, it looks pretty cool. Realtime ar, human animation, hair and cloth simulation.

well, I can go with 386 but you apparently would not understand
There was a nice method for real time fluid surface waves in SIGGRAPH 07. Check Wave particles.
The irony is that I'm not even sure why home users would move.
When they buy a new computer, they will get Vista, duh.

I should have used crack version...

Actually, this is slashdot, many people would support this
That would have been a perfect final episode to the series...
yes, last entry is in 2000, but still the best documentation online.

Not necessarily. Unless you do not have manual focus control, the camera might choose to focus on the fence, hence nicely bluring the background.
highlighting... check... searching.... check... i do not have any problems on firefox 1.5. I have adblock tabs disabled, so no problems there either.
nope, it does not have interchangable lenses, huh
somebody should make tshirts with these, lol

destroying a costly digital camera to get a bunch of blurry pictures... priceless...
