Also, I'm at uni, so Endnote would be nice.
Having a look at my startmenu more than 50% of the apps are not supported on linux. My whole ecosystem would need to move over to allow me to change.
Note: I have been running linux on one laptop or another since the 90s.
It's not the interface. It's the lack of support for colour systems from CMYK through Pantone, and so on. Gimp is fine for web work, but impssible for colour managed print.
I think two things help Slashdot a lot:
a) Moderation is earned - you can't just create an account and go at it.
b) meta-moderation seems to ameliorate the effect of poor moderators.
While the calibre is often low, you can filter it out because of an effective moderation system.
You're a liar. Lets say they took a 40MP camera (say the Pentax 645D). That camera has a max resolution of 7264 x 5440px. Now we'll imagine that photo being blown up to the size of a SMALL wall, 2m in height, making it XX meters across. That would set the dpi at about 80dpi. Too low.
No digital camera could get close to that size, and the only ones that would be in the running are the Phase One, Leica or Hasselblad. I've used two of those cameras, but none would be accessible to scientists in Antarctica. Maybe Nat Geo.
To print an entire (large) wall you need at least size 120 FILM, but probably 4x5 FILM.
So don't give me lies and 'digital is superior' bullshit. You're welcome to have that argument, but get an education first.
And Ansel has not been 'well and truly outdone' by anyone. His style of photography isn't popular anymore, but show me a single artist who can shoot his style with a portfolio the size of his, and I'll then give you the credit you think you deserve.
My time to shine! Pro 'tog here.
Firstly, ignore the prat who thinks Ansel Adams is outdated - he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. That said... When was the last time you saw a retrospective of Adams? Modernism has kind of left Adams behind. Minor White and Alfred Steiglitz are enduringly popular, Bill Brandt still does the tours.
Film is still used a lot - I use it weekly (though not daily). It is not the professional 'togs tool of choice, but it is the professional artist's.
It's funny though - my local shop has started processing film again, but only colour. I still have to process all my BW myself.
I recently ordered a replacement part from Parts Overnight (Australia's nominated Canon parts supplier). It took over a week to get my part. I get better service getting parts couriered from the US. Thanks Canon for your poor service. Thanks Parts Overnight for your even worse service.
I don't know why you were marked as a troll. I would have the same reaction as you. Doing something stupid is not a free ticket for people to be rude. Linus was unprofessional.
They've been my ISP for almost a decade now and I will continue to support them for exactly the same reason. I think it is amazing that you get companies that spout the "do no evil" crap, and here is iiNet just going about its business doing right by their clients. Good on ya iiNet.
Disclaimer: I don't work for iiNet, but I did apply for a job there once.
Disclaimer 2: They phoned me but did not give me an interview. We're till on good terms though.
Seriously haven't used my/. account in years - literally. I remember it because one of my last posts was whinging about the lack of CMYK in GIMP which pretty much ruled it out for all serious print design work. If they can manage CMYK and greater bitdepth then I can finally predict a bright future for GIMP (formerly the banner ad only graphics app).
YAY!!!
All the same, after 8 years with IINET it is time to change ISP. I vote with my feet to support an ISP who represents their paying client's interest. Regardless of whether MafiAA is a toothless tiger, one needs to stand up for oneself.
You mistake me. It is not that CS5 is dependant on OS X; designers are dependant on CMYK, ergo Adobe (usually). You want to espouse the virtues of linux - I'm saying linux is a black hole in the design world. And regardless of whether CS5 relies on OS compatability, or whether it was targeted for other platforms, the pragmatic outcome is the same. Also, you are gay.

You're right. Data hates when you give it anthropomorphic qualities. Also, when you take things too literally.
I don't really care what MS does - I filter mac addresses.
RE: /. of 10yrs ago - what's up with that! Why was it so much better then anyway? I used to ALWAYS be in /. - now its just in my RSS reader.

It has the benefit of reading embedded Jpegs from RAW files to make it MUCH faster than things like lightroom.
The tax itself is not the solution. The tax is a necessary step towards an emissions trading scheme.

Or simply talking to anyone, Linus style. I'd love to learn his patented method of psychological, verbal abuse.
Quark, Corel, anyone else?

Ha! That's what they want you to think. I wont believe it - deep down they are good people too!

Well, Adobe may not have a plan (unlike GIMP), but at least they have functionality (also unlike GIMP).

Also, you'd have to be a moron to think that linux has everything Apple has. What are all those patents for?
They're not different things, they're intrinsically linked. Dumb ass. Adobe CS5 wont run in Wine.
