GIMP 2.6 Released
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Am I alone in this? Is Gimp not getting users because of it? Is this in turn slowing Linux adoption?
1. No, I'm sure there's other PS people out there who don't like it.
2. Gimp has plenty of users: invalid premise in question
3. No, Gimp has little to no affect on linux adoption
Gimp is not intended to be a PS clone, nor cater to PS users. The devs feel the current layout suits the application just fine. They don't have customers or shareholders to answer to, so their word on the matter is final. If someone tries it out and doesn't like the interface and/or doesn't want to learn a new one, they can simply look for other options. Best of all, they didn't have to drop $130 - $1780 to find out they weren't going to like using it before moving on.
I'm disappointed that there isn't any news of Nintendo seeking to compete with Sony and Microsoft in an attempt to get the majority of the gamer market back.
They don't bother competing against Sony and Microsoft for the gamer market because they are too busy raking in the cash from creating their own non-traditional gamer market. Put this way, Nintendo had two options:
-Take on two giants who were much better at what they did and hope to survive.
-Create their own market in a way that repulses the other two from ever entering with a competing level of competency.
But the point is to get companies come to the conclusion that DRM is bad. Cracking it just sends them the message "we need meaner DRM schemes". Suing them, however, shows them just how angry the user base is about the whole situation.
"The fact that human adults consume huge quantities of dairy products made from milk that was meant for a baby cow just doesn't make sense"
Because, like all things PETA, they never look at the complete picture. Hint #1: Cows won't sue the company if they are paid only in the form of an all-you-can-eat grass smorgasbord.
If what you got out of evolution to be a secular religion, then you're not paying attention, or the teacher doesn't know what they're talking about. It is not a philosophical belief, it is a theory based off of decades of research and observation. If it were a philosophical belief, then it would not belong in the science room either.
In case you missed it, here's the universal disclaimer of all science: This is for modeling purposes only and is subject to change for more accurate models.
Of course, the "open minded" evolutionists want the other side muzzled, marginalized, fired and otherwise silenced. People knowing the true meaning of a "liberal" education can only shake their heads.
And Flat-earthers say the same about the globularists. So should we devote a good portion of geology and astronomy class discussing whether the Earth is(n't) a spheroid, or should we fill it with topics that will be useful?
Well, Valve has already announced their contingency plan: if they're on the way out, they'll release a final patch to steam that disables the phoning home.
Creationism being dissected in a science class would cause more problems than it would solve considering the inevitable uproar of angry religious parents.
Creationism has the unfortunate attribute of explaining an unknown (origin of life) with an additional unknown (magical deity did it). In terms of being a theory, it fails at that point. Whether it's correct matters little; mathematically, it's invalidated in about two steps. I'm sure those mentioned parents won't be too pleased with such a swift dismissal of the notion in the classroom.
The rejoicing happens on a daily basis considering unencrypted connections are business-as-usual. Slap on a bunch of warm, fuzzy-feeling shield badges and people can't turn over their info fast enough to you.
And TFA explains how it determines legitimacy; asking about it in the comments doesn't change that.

You think that's hot, try playing it at 640x480 on a NeoMagic 256zx. You get pixelation AND a slideshow, it's the best of both worlds.

Give it time, they'll "fix the glitch". To paraphrase:
Apple interprets choice as damage and routes around it.
Actually, it's been shown that silicon does wear from usage.

The appropriate thing for the company administering the survey would be to:
1. Register all of them in advance.
2. Administer the survey.
3. Drop the useless domain names.
4. ???
5. Profit!
...and underfunded.

It's an optical illusion. It's not hard to look hot standing around a hundred old white guys.

I would say "you should ask the devout Catholic that wrote the text book as he will probably be able to better level with you."
It must have an unforgiving DRM. It's been ten years and still no torrent!
Yeah, but they never got a +5 funny on /. so it was still open game.

Odds are they have more money than you, so yes.
I thought masquerades around the tubes as IE... is that not the case?
And lets face reality, McCain's age + skin cancer concerns raises that figure for this round.

Wait, are you insinuating it's not practical to raise a family of 12 in an 800 ft^2 NYC apartment?

Well, as far as I can tell, the current system assumes verisign won't be compromised either.
