I also give a big recommendation for Paint.net. Like you, for my needs, it's a better bet than GIMP. I'm not a pro graphics person, but I like Photoshop and Paint.net and can't stand gimp. Paint.net, loads fast, simple intuitive interface, it works the way I expect it to.
Point taken. Most of them are probably happy to continue to use Photoshop and let their company pay for the license.
I've used Photoshop for years and CS6 now (work paid for it) and I've tried gimp several times. I'm not primarily a graphics person, but, IMHO Photoshop is superior to the point where gimp isn't even close. As far as open source graphics, I much prefer paint.net over gimp and even over photoshop for most simple tasks.
If I had to subscribe to it for $50/month and pay the bill myself, I'd try to figure out how to deal without Photoshop. I'd like to see gimp developed to the point that it would be able to better compete with photoshop. For me the biggest drawbacks are the UI and the speed. I don't think either one of those would be super easy to "fix".
Graphics people could decide to contribute money to the project and feature requests but coding, don't hold your breath. All of the best graphics people I know couldn't code there way out of a paper bag, no offense to paper bags, some of my best friends are paper bags.

Planter Faciitis is a common overuse injury lots of runners get as well. Anytime you are using/overusing muscles in a way your body is unaccustomed to it can cause problems. Still, problems caused by exercise, usually have simple solutions, like easing up a little or adding a different exercise to compensate. Overall your risks of health problems are far greater from lack of exercise than from an overuse injury.
I say if you are interested in a standing desk, try it out, but have a backup sitting station as your body gets accustomed to it's newly used muscles.
As someone with a very basic understanding of plugins (we have a custom toolbar we roll out with internal apps and links) I can tell you it is an issue. As an add-on developer you have to build into the toolbar "this add-on is good for FF versions x through y" that is in an xml file required for the toolbar to run. So you as a developer have 2 options you can say that your toolbar will work with version 1 through 999999 and just hope that a firefox update really doesn't ever break your add-on OR you can update it with every release ensuring that it works with the new version and require your users / (admins in corp environment) to update the add-on every time. Both of the above options have there drawbacks.
My major issue with the firefox team is that they changed the rules in the middle of the game. It used to be that if I put this add-on will work with this new version it would be good for about a year. Now I need to add in 6 weeks per version so if i want it to be good for a year I divide 52 weeks by 6 week major upgrade cycle and add 8.6~9 to the version number for it to work for about a year. All of this is assuming Mozilla doesn't change there major release version system again. If they decide to go back to the old way then my add-on will last for 9 years and will almost certainly be broken by a release at some point along the way.
As someone who used to "sneak in" when I was out past curfew. I can tell you it is possible to turn off a car and coast into your driveway while making a turn without power steering and power brakes. It is much more difficult, but doable if you know to expect it. The part about some steering wheels locking up is true, but if you leave the key in the accessory position it should still work. In any event as a driver I much prefer manual (more fun and safer in this case). Save the Manuals!
Wow what a pain that would be to administer such a landlocked system. Patching, backups, updating the content, accessing the content. What do they do when they want to access the file to mix it, or to distribute, publish the new song. What do they do when they get a new artist signed and it's time to add a song to the collection. Send in Joe the Admin with his thumbdrive to download or upload the needed song. I agree with you that there security is beyond poor, but land-locking the entire system as a solution to me doesn't seem like the best course of action.
My wife uses Groupon all the time and so by extension I use Groupons. I hate them for precisely the GPs reason. Retailers ask if you are using a Groupon. If you say yes you almost always get substandard treatment/products. The companies who use Groupon overextend themselves and then hire temps or decrease quality to cover for their mistake. It's bad for businesses and bad for customers. The only one it's good for is Groupon.
Not sure if you are trolling but, No, LEDs are not capable of receiving data or acting as inputs. In the summary they used the example of streaming video where of course the monitor doesn't need to send and data back. The summary said they use a simple photo diode to receive. Light Emitting Diodes and Photo Diodes are 2 separate distinct things.

Now if he gets 2 different passwords you are likely exposed.

I think they are 2 distinct issues that do not combine the way you suggest.
1. If you violate a websites TOS the website can come after you.
2. The info they gain spidering a website is pretty much free for them to use to discriminate against you.
Anything I post on slashdot/FB/any online forum I treat like it is viewable by every future and past employer, insurer, lender, ex girlfriend etc. Anything online will exist forever and if it's not already permanently linked to you, it will be before you die. If that's right or wrong, legal or illegal is really besides the point IMHO.
It is possible for an internal DNS server to resolve your mail.example.com to your local 10.x.x.x inside and let your external DNS tell the outside world the external address. If you are a very small shop and don't want to set up an internal dns server you could even just modify the host file on the boxes that need to access the internal servers.

That's interesting that you assumed the the GP was being serious and I assumed he was making a joke or at least a clever funny troll.
Exactly, In fact if he really was a spy he would be far more likely to withstand torture and interrogation.

You are correct. Big movies cost more than big games by a factor of at least 2.
God of War III cost $44 million BEFORE marketing costs. According to cnbc lots of games fall in that range for cost.
Movies production costs easily reach over 100 million.
