Well, GIMP doesn't actually support RAW formats, and for good reason. They are both unnecessarily manifold and proprietary.
That's not "good reason". That's just lacking capability.
Even the most basic cameras generally offer support for uncompressed images (usually in some sort of TIFF encapsulation), and if this is what you need, then use it.
You really don't know what raw files are even used for, do you? Very few cameras these days support TIFF, and that's because TIFF has none of the benefits of raw CCD data files, and is even larger than them.
(Technically, DNG raw files are TIFFs, but those are not in any way widely supported yet.)
You know, the grandparent poster already explicitly mentioned Linux and MySQL as successful. Now, gcc is certainly a worthy addition to the list.
However, you seem to think Linux is the be all and end all of open source software. Apache runs on far more computers than Linux machines. Libraries like libjpeg, libpng and zlib are in wide use across every OS out there, and none of them are GPL, which is no doubt a large factor in their success. SQLite, too, is spreading like wildfire.
In contrast, glibc is mostly only ever used on Linux installations, and is far less popular than the previously mentioned libraries.
No, I don't. I think any person or organisation who photographs everything possible in a city and then publishes them to, say, a publically accessible website without asking the people in the photograph first should come under a similar amount of scrutiny.
So how many photos exactly am I allowed to take of a city?
And does, say, flickr or panoramio count as an "organization"? If not, what is the essential difference?
Then somebody else writes the truth further down in the article, and then nobody bothers to edit the article to make it actually consistent with itself.
Most people entirely miss the point of Brainfuck. It was never meant to be esoteric for the sake of it, or to "challenge and amuse programmers" as Wikipedia puts it.
It was designed to create a compiler as small as possible. The original AmigaOS compiler was 240 bytes in size. Even smaller compilers have been created by people who truly grasped the spirit of the language.
No. 7.7 million of some other total came from the US. Adding up the numbers on the map gets a much higher result than the 8.0 million total mentioned, so the fraction of those that came from the US is likely quite a bit lower than 7.7 million.
Things that already worked in the main four browsers were specifically excluded, as testing for those would serve no purpose. That leaves you with some fairly esoteric stuff.

Well, how about you buy an electric car and install some goddamn speakers to make noise for you?
So you can't have fun unless you're manually compensating for the flaws in your car's engine?
You're not really going to see the benefits of Perl in one month. It's not a very straightforward language like that.
Wasn't it more a matter of reasonable doubt?
No, it was more an unwillingness to believe one of us could be guilty. It must be that they are persecuting him!
The "reasonable doubt" line was just rationalization.
Actually, nobody's laughing at you. That's just me with my ray gun putting laughing voices in your head.
So no tourist photos? No art photography with people or houses in them?
I don't think they should be allowed to publish them without permission.
So no photos of crowds any more?
No, they are not. They are in public places, taking pictures of their surroundings. Anything private they happen to catch was visible in public.
No, I don't. I think any person or organisation who photographs everything possible in a city and then publishes them to, say, a publically accessible website without asking the people in the photograph first should come under a similar amount of scrutiny.

And does, say, flickr or panoramio count as an "organization"? If not, what is the essential difference?
So you don't think photographers should be allowed to take any pictures they want in public spaces?
So approximately how many photographs am I allowed to take of a city, then?
Are you saying there should be special rules that apply to Google and not to normal photographers?

It is, but whether this is intentional or accidental is unclear. The original documentation, what little there is of it, makes no mention of this.

"By my reasoning"? At least try to read and understand the context of a discussion before making nonsensical replies like that.
Yes, but nobody uses that word for that. Really.
I wasn't talking about porn exclusively...
But you were talking about porn. And it really isn't used for that.

And profit is the only reason for a person to try and bolster their image? Ideologists never do?

I think you missed the point there.
