  1. Photoshop integration. on I/O Electronic Brush for Painting · · Score: 1

    I think a simple tool (not a brush) that could do this and import the texture into Photoshop would be neat. I don't mind using a mouse, but if one wanted they could use a WACOM tablet to get the same result. It would certainly be a lot cheaper than buying this huge fany-pants painting display.

  2. Re:Super Drag and Drop on Opera Turns 10, Gives Away Free Registrations · · Score: 1

    Middleclick works nicely. It'll take some time to get used to, but I thank you for pointing that out! :D

  3. Super Drag and Drop on Opera Turns 10, Gives Away Free Registrations · · Score: 1

    ...is the only thing that prevents me from using Opera over Maxthon. For the uninitiated, Super Drag and Drop is an ingenious little method of opening a linked page in a new tab. All you have to do is drag the link in any direction and it will open in a new tab. It's great for easily queueing up slashdot stories to read.

    I hope they'll allow me to drain mine, this ~$16 umemployed debt is bothersome. ;)

    RTFA and look at the date, April 2nd.

    I live underground you insensitive clod!

  7. Re:Envangelism is bad on Open Source Advocacy The Right Way · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I've been quite disenchanted with Linux myself, it's not so much that we're sitting back and moaning, it is more along the lines of "Will I be taken seriously if I DO let the developers know, or will they spit in my face and tell me to go back to Windows?"

    The culture for such things is simply not there, for an average person trying out Linux, getting help with stuff usually meets the usual response of "RUN [insert distro]!!~!~!" or "Compile ur own kernel for your needs" As a user, I'm not interested in these solutions, there needs to be a quick immediate fix available, or else I won't care to run your software. Simple as that.

    Just to append something here, I've tried many different distros. The ones I have not been satisfied with are Mandrake 10.1, Ubuntu 4.10, Linspire 4.5, Knoppixes 3.4-3.7. The ones that I do find quite bearable, which I would gladly use should I be forced to switch from Windows are: MEPIS. Knoppix 3.3 was great as well, for a smooth LiveCD/no install experience. The main problem with the former bunch are the soundcard support, which is ridiculous IMHO. The regular plain vanilla PCI SB Audigy has to be one of the most common cards around, and the fact that this many distros have problems with it is disconcerting.
