Also, the appeal of b&w picture (movie) is that there is no color to distract you from the form of the picture. There are some situations where black and white are incredibly powerful.
Although, I agree you can never show how red was the sunset..
So, when are they going to get into real estate in which they build houses with tiny cameras at "right" places and with one more tab in the google.com "search your house". You can type anything in and they will look it up for you. GoogleHouse - it is search and indexing after all:P Just like browser is a part of the OS.
But, I am sure, GoogleHouse will be pretty:) I don't doubt it.
I am guilty of posting a little off topic message here. But, as it's already into adobe reader, I might ask a question as well.
On windows the reader 6 is slow. Reader 7 is faster in comparison. (But, if you see the task manager they keep the reader running even when you close it, cheating - but I'll not go into that now)
The cooltype fonts in acrobat reader 6 has 2 stage setup that guides you to the setting that works best for your monitor. But, In Reader 7 there is just a checkbox to enable it, which does not work as well.
I believe cooltype is a type of anti aliasing. In my case I have a LCD with BGR alignment not the common RGB one, hence requires different AA than one would require for RGB monitors. Perhaps that is the reason even when I enable cooltype, the fonts of the text are fuzzy and barely readable at the regular size. But, I can adjust Reader 6 settings so that it appears right. Although 6 is way slower than 5 and 7, it renders text better, at least on an lcd.
I was wondering if there is a way to get a finer control over cooltype in Adobe Reader 7.
hey, they have a clippy, only that it looks like a star or sun if you prefer. when you type something and it auto corrects, you see the little guy on the lower right. equally irritating as the clippy.
It's a bad practice to reply to my own post. But, many people seem to miss the sarcasm.
I do not think America would have been better off had it never been discovered. At least I don't see a lot of things to regret for. And I have a sense that after 500 years, people who will settle in Mars, will not regret either. Because, we have an extraordinary capacity to justify our actions - hard to say if that is a good thing or bad. The questions of ethics don't get aggressively examined - not nearly as in a way scientific persuits are carried out. And I guess one needs to do that before asserting if we should or should not.
Should we have done the same before we decided to step to America, before it was america? That was a virgin island and see it's polluted now. What a shame !! What much better off it would have been had no european ever stepped on it!
"Some apps, such as browsers, don't matter as much. A browser is a browser, with a few features here and there, but the underlying concept is the same. Type in a URL and go. Other things though...aye..."
You have a point. But, the alternative theory can be seen by examining this "A car is a car. You use it to go from point A to point B."
I agree with the parent in theme. But wanna add my 2 paise.
One needs to think what are they after win of OSS or win of Linux? If it is the former, then you see OSS wins directly here, immediately as evolution is ported to windows. People can now use this incredible OSS app even if they use windows.
If you want only linux to win, even if at the expense of win of OSS then good luck to you - because, it is self destructive.
Just like an insightful slashdotter said upon the release of limited versin of windows, "you can't compete with linux by crippling your OS bill" I'd like to say, "you can't make the OSS win by preventing people from using it Mr. OSS Advocate".
How am I supposed to connect my digital camera to this mini, when I have my mouse and keyboard plugged into the 2 USB slots? It seems like they are saying Mouse, Keboard, digital camera - choose two.
Agreeing on a axiom is not *believing* it. It's agreeing. These are 2 different words and mean different things. They serve the purpose of communicating 2 different things.
A geometrical point is, well a point. It takes infinitely small space in each dimension and it has some other property. Do you really "believe" that a point "exists" in space measuring nothing in each dimension? Nope. It's made up, to make possible countless nifty use of our analytical faculty. You agree on the axioms so that can you do some other useful stuff based on them. Mostly they become self evident - mind you they are not always self evident as I can recall many instances in my study of calculus in school - because, inorder for them to be useful, they needs to be grounded in reality and when you look at them hard enough, long enough, they become evident.

That is a good point.

why will it be a failure?

pay my most sincere respect to the guy who named his biggest invention to his favorite fruit.
Shows how much he loved apple the fruit.
Very nice and concise summary of the story.
Thank you.
if the frozen ice has fresh frozen fish as well.
I allow you to drop "The". Other words are necessary.
Stop stealing other peoples one day old posts. at least slashdot is reposting it's own stories.

arrrggghhh .. as if i didn't have enough "you know"s already.
I didn't think it'll go that high when I started counting, but it just went up and up! I am surprised you didn't notice.
hey. they are using the term theft to pass the message to those people who don't understand the idea of copyright and its infringment.
Although I do not agree with a single sentence of what you wrote, I applaud your skill of arguing to get insightful points.
definitely read it.
/. do you think to type this i need 20secs?>

Not that some people don't think of car this way.
as the subject says. thought I'd point that out.
"what's next? Google-approved real-estate? Google water supply?"
Let me know when they open google pantry. I heard their pantry is GOOD.
"Is that virus Free Software?"
It's free as in beer not as in speech.
was rotating image by small angles. now that it's possible in picasa 2, I am using only picasa for all my image related activity.
