    Oh, I'm gainfully employed, but it's at WorstBuy as a technician. (At least one store has someone who know's what their talking about)

    wow, you mis-read that article bad.

    Free engineering from a large community. Thats what the buisnesspeople want out of open source
    It's the same guy that made Snort to begin with, and he's still contributing/leading the development of the software.

    And the profit comes from making the interface.
    Umm well, where to begin, lets start right over here where we see it's not just a front end, but hardware to run the application as well. Oh and look, they have other things that don't use snort, or other OSS projects that he created himself. Next you're going to tell me that MandrakeSoft is evil because when I was on dialup I bought Linux Mandrake 7.1 instead of downloading it. (My first venture into linux BTW) and Red Hat must be evil from profiting on there front end of the Linux Kernel as well.... [/rant]

  6. Re:Don't use linux on Professional Photographers Using Linux? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Part of the problem is color matching from scans and slides (transparencies.) I am aware of no tool that will match colors as well as programs like photoshop or others that are out there for the windows and (primarily) Mac markets.

    For all the features that's being sought after I am aware of no tools to do that kind of quality work from the scans and slides. Linux doesn't have tools for high quality scans.

    I like linux as much as the next geek, but it lacks software to support this market right now.

  7. Would this work? on Upbeat on E-books · · Score: 1

    John Wayne's not dead, he's frozen. And as soon as we find the cure for cancer we're gonna thaw out the duke and he's gonna be really pissed off, you know why? Have you ever takin a really cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million times that's how pissed off the duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the duke, and John Cassaveties, and Lee Marvin.......

    Sorry, but when game spy rates a NES game the best game Acclaim made it says enough about the quality. And don't forget No. 4: Bust A Move I think that was in the arcade Def Leppard released Hysteria.

    Unfortunately this is too true. I did some research into the Music industry while in college, was hoping to try to promote the band more... Well, anyway, I found out (among many other things) that the LABEL would own the songs that *I* wrote, *I* paid to record, and *I* payed to produce, and *I* paid to market.... so tell me, why do *THEY* get all the money?
