  1. Re:A advice on Technology to Help with Learning Disabilities? · · Score: 0

    Try text to speech software. I use this stuff all the time because it's faster then I can read and it's able to keep my attention longer. Another major benefit that will help your bro. is that it highlights the word it's saying. The only problem this software has is when the vocabulary is uncommon, like "TCP/IP", SQL, etc., but for every day words it works perfect. Here is the software I use: http://www.readplease.com/

    Like other have pointed out an optcode cache is essential for php websites. eAccelerator, previously known as MMCache, is one of them and it's OSS. http://eaccelerator.net/

    I completely agree with you about GNU/BSD. Although I think it would be interesting to see BSD running on a Linux kernel, BSD/GNU.

  7. Re:Seriously... Why would you use this? on GIMP 2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Hands down nothing can contend with Photoshop*, But, at are studio (photography / digital imaging) as a companion to Photoshop I always installed Paint Shop Pro (and Corel Painter), this is no longer the case as I have replaced it with Gimp.

    *This is a real problem for *nix because if you ever want Adobe to port to Linux you need to put up some "real" competition as Adobe will just sit on there ass because they know there customers aren't going anywhere, there's no incentive for them to spend $x to port, this means are studio is stuck in windows land until you guys (and gals) get your shit together. Also we cannot switch to Mac until they port to x86 (pipe dream) and this is a real shame as I really like BSD.
