  1. Re:No, it isn't. on Double Your Fun with DoubleSight · · Score: 1

    FLEB,

    A pallete is a very specific thing.
    A toolwindow is a generic thing.

    Having a histogram up on a display that is not color correct to your existing display is not going to matter that much. Having a color picker or a pallete there can range from mildly annoying to the kind of anger that rivals Mike Tyson in the boxing ring.

    This is why we have different words, so you can say what you mean, instead of using a word incorrectly and then making up another word to cover up the fact that you didn't say what you meant.

    For web layout, or images with absolutely no anti-aliasing at all, it is permissable to work "by the numbers" using Pantone colors.

    For everything else... unless you want to end up biting off the tip of someone's ear, I'd suggest you aquire monitors that represent colors correctly.

  2. Re:Editorial Errors on A Compact Guide To F/OSS Licensing · · Score: 1

    Too many people these days spend too much time looking at the presentation of the subject matter instead of looking at the subject matter being presented.

    I would make the point though that if the presentation is not made adequately then it is difficult to convince other people of the validity of the message.

    That said, however, your second point is very well received. I cannot see a market for this book amongst PHBs and CTOs.

  3. Re:Our experiences on Renderfarm Setup Tips? · · Score: 1

    How much did those dual opterons cost when you bought them?

    Do you expect the price per machine to go up, down or remain constant when you purchase your next renderfarm? Of course it is given that the next one will have more powerful machines in it.

    Why don't you simply add to the existing renderfarm instead of removing the old one? Is it just because they are in the minitower format instead of a more convenient blade/1RU format?

    Cheers,

    SI

    For a while there I thought my degree was useless! Sure wish I hadn't turned down those jobs because they were not strategically sound though...
