Because Paint Shop Pro 7 starts in a few seconds in an old system where Gimp requires much more time. Also Paint Shop Pro supports (though limited, but good enough for me) vector graphics.
(Corel Paint Shop Pro sucks. I am talking about the original, though I prefer version 7 to 8 or 9 for its speed)
You are right. My first experience of serious trolling and vesuvian scale flamewars was at rec.audio.opinion. The trolls at slashdot are mere 1 HD Goblins compared to the true regenerating trolls at RAO. Of course there was some really classic trolling at various talk.* groups, but the level at RAO was simply professional.
Discussing audio with anyone but one's self is a waste of time.
I would say that most coders who don't know good English aren't good coders either. By limiting themselves to literature available in their native language they limit their knowledge and they miss quite a lot. When teens ask me how to start learning programming, my advice is to learn English first and C later.
Here is an excerpt from the discussion on the article:
"Mind you there are differences such as Spock is not the 1st officer he's the second officer while Majel Barret played the 1st officer. In the remake of this 2nd pilot she was moved to the position of nurse Chapel. As other have said the music is different and the show is separated into sections land labelled as acts."
Apologies for this karma burner, but since you are at gatech I need to know: does she still stink like a guys' underarm ? Does she still refuse to use deodorant ?
I won't say more. If you know who I am talking about you may wish to drop a word. Otherwise forget it.
Mod parent down, he is an "OTS" believer from the FCOS. These people roam the world to spread their evil teachings from the First Church of Shatnerology, a corrupt organization that teaches masturbation to its disciples.
The eMule Content Database has been doing that, very successfully and for many years. Legit content, that is.
And you need no tracker in eMule. As long as the file/collection is moderately popular, once a few people download it from you it will exist in the network for ever. I know as I have published service manuals there and I can still find them after 4 years...
Many people think that if you eat 2000 calories and burn 1500 calories you gain fat equal to 500 calories. But this isn't true, at least not in my case. A lot of those 500 calories may be discarded from the body in waste. Depending on the food, it may even be more than 500 calories which are discarded; so it becomes
energy eaten - energy used = energy stored + energy discarded
Then of course you have the undeniable
energy eaten - energy used <= energy stored
which leads to the conclusion that if you eat 2000 calories and burn 2500 calories then you lose weight equal to at least 500 calories.
But the above misses the "appetite" factor which can ruin a day where one constantly has to restrain oneself to keep that 500 calorie loss which can be quite distracting. So, one has to consider the following question: is it possible that some foods are more appetizing than others?
My own personal answer to this question is yes: I know I can eat gross amounts of pasta and as long as I combine any kind of food with bread I stop only when I am satiated. But I can't do that with meat and fats. I eat them to a point of not feeling hungry anymore. It's not that meat and fat isn't tasty, it is just that as if carbohydrates push my appetite to the limits.
(I repeat that everything above is my own experience, not a scientific study)
If you eat a lot of food, or if you eat food with a lot of fat in it, then you gain weight.
I started a low carbohydrate diet last July and I found, to my amazement, that it doesn't work that way. I've been eating more fat than I ever did in my life and for some reason I am losing weight. But I almost completely cut down on carbohydrates eating only those on green vegetables. Although I don't count calories -- I feel that I am eating more calories now, compared to my previous eating habits which, while not excessive, lead to gradual weight gain.
I am not saying the body defies the laws of physics but obviously we are not storing everything we eat.
(The argument about the density of muscles isn't strong either: I had to buy new sets of clothes as well. That means I didn't simply replace "heavier" muscle with "lighter" fat)
I still use IE6 in the very few cases I have to use an internet explorer browser. That amounts to less than 0.01% of my browsing; all sites that require IE to work are compatible to IE6 so no reason to upgrade because I don't use it for anything else.
As an additional bonus I get the pleasure of knowing that I am forcing web designers to do extra work to support legacy. That means more people needed in IT.
Although the comparison is a bit unfair here because you are using the latest & greatest in bandwidth throttling which may not work in as broad an audience as Torrent's.
I am using eMule too but NAFC isn't working well for me since we have a lot of systems on NAT and whenever there is internal FTP traffic the NAFC on the eMule client thinks the network is congested.
Slashdot Mirror
It is not always so. At the browser level ad blocking can remove iframes and make the make look cleaner without strange white blocks.
Also, regular expressions can identify in-house ads that can't be removed at the DNS level.
Finding flaws in someone else's software is not something I want to see
I don't think you really believe that. Personally, I'd value the published discovery of a flaw not matter who the discoverer is.
No, it's not the same. The focus was on Russia & America, not on Nazi Germany as Goodwin requires.
Yes, but it did spark an interesting debate on whether it was Russia beat the Germans or not.

Capiche?
But there is in fact a 3rd pilot. Here it is: http://www.shatnerology.com/video.html

SHATNEROLOGIST ALERT!
Mod parent down, he is an "OTS" believer from the FCOS. These people roam the world to spread their evil teachings from the First Church of Shatnerology, a corrupt organization that teaches masturbation to its disciples.
For those asking, "who the hell is OTS" -- here you can find the truths: http://www.shatnerology.com/ots.html
Mind the word "regular" -- not "slashdotter" in general.
There wasn't any whining in my posting. You obviously read what you want to read.
which is worse?
My thoughts exactly. I doubt that a single regular here would have any interest (besides data mining or other geeky stuff) on billionairexchange.

I am not afraid of Great White Sharks, but I am very afraid (after reading Dan Brown) of the EFF Sharks!

Same question here. Anyone with a more thorough knowledge on the data behind this pie ?
Generic low carb. Started with Atkins but after a few weeks the "fruits such as berries" argument became a constipation nightmare.
Now I still restrict carbohydrates, but a fruit and a slice of self-baked fiber bread are always on the menu. The weight loss continues...
What about El Ron Hitler ?
Yes, I see your point :)
Well the general perception in my opinion is that
energy eaten - energy used = energy stored
Many people think that if you eat 2000 calories and burn 1500 calories you gain fat equal to 500 calories. But this isn't true, at least not in my case. A lot of those 500 calories may be discarded from the body in waste. Depending on the food, it may even be more than 500 calories which are discarded; so it becomes

See my point?
So, it's a Torrent issue.

The plain USS works OK though.
