    Thank you for that piece of information. Stand by while I steal your garage with your car in it.

    That's okay. Nobody really knows how to program the PS3 anyway.

    I bet the guy even had the Healing Touch.

  8. Here's a Summary! on Linux Alternatives To Apple's Aperture · · Score: 5, Informative

    F-Spot, The default photo editor that comes with Ubuntu 8.04, was quickly discarded. [FOSS]

    Picasa, Really liked the application overall. I crop all my photos to the golden ratio of 1.62:1, so this limitation is unacceptable. [NOT FOSS]

    LightZone, very similar to both Aperture and Adobe's Lightroom. Costs $200 and is not open source. No online support forum.
    Bibble, very fast and it only costs $130. It does not however have any photo-management capabilities. No tagging, project management, or meta data editing. [NOT FOSS]

    Raw Therapee, raw photo processor, free. It does not, however, run on Mac OS X. Does not manage projects. And it does not work with anything but raw photos, so it will not allow for processing jpegs or tiffs

    Qtpfsgui, another useful application. HDR tool for Ubuntu Linux, Macintosh, and Windows.

    The result:

    There isn't an all-in-one package that will do the trick, but by combining Ubuntu's file manager Nautilus for project management, Raw Therapee for raw processing, and the Gimp for non-raw processing, just about everything I do in Aperture can be done on Ubuntu Linux using free and open source solutions.

    Screw that, I voted for GLADOS.

    That's not bricking. That's nowhere near bricking.

  14. Re:Grandma Speed on Dial-Up Users "Don't Want Broadband" · · Score: 1
    It's 'Grandma speed'? Doesn't that concern you?

    Well as long as she's not hurting anyone, etc. Just keep an eye on her, okay?

    Remember there's lots of clinics and other services that can help you if a situation develops.

  24. Re:University on IT Students Contract Out Coursework To India · · Score: 1

    Which is strange, because you don't really need to cheat to get anywhere in my course. It could be said that the course itself is cheating, in a fashion.

  25. University on IT Students Contract Out Coursework To India · · Score: 4, Interesting

    At my university (I mentioned it in a previous Slashdot post), most module projects have to include a presentation describing the work, with time for questions.

    It's cruel, but I think it's quite funny when folks can't readily describe what they did*. It gets quite Phoenix Wright-y at times.

    * It's not funny when you're nervous and can't think of a way to articulate how you designed a complex system, but it's usually easy to tell the difference.
