No shit apple doesn't support every piece of hardware on the market. Neither does linux. If you want that, go to Windows.
And yes, if you use a hackintosh, don't expect the same experience as a genuine product, which will suspend and so on quite readily.
However, if you want to print CMYK, or heaven forbid, Pantone or Focaltone, you've only got two choices, and neither is linux.
Finally, Apple can and do pull the plug quite often - G5 to wintel, OS 9 to OS X. Deal with it. It is a OS paired with specific hardware which will only run the latest software. That's the price for running modern software well. Apple's willingness to start over, for certain people, is a boon. We know that if there is a problem, there is a good chance it wont be around for long.
My point is, you make it sound like people choose between OSs. Apple has technologies that linux simply does not have. Who gives a fuck about inkscape?! If you're on Apple, and you need a program like Inkscape, then you'll be running Adobe products.
Next time you need to print colourmatched, diecut packaging, and you submit press ready artwork from inkscape, you come back here and let me know. Apple is specific use.
I don't think it was ever about the Nazi's rising from the ashes. Besides which that would be patently impossible.
Sometimes govts make laws which display a message or meaning to the populace. In how many countries are prostitution/abortion/euthenasia illegal, though overlooked. The laws indicate the values of the national character.
I originally assumed it was another of those 'gay nigger' posts which used to frequent slashdot. Still not sure though. I love my wife and she is deeply beautiful (also doesn't read slashdot) but that doesn't stop Angelina from being hot.
I also wonder whether it is a natural or artificial steroid. Interestingly, this method has a > 99% effectiveness, as does the pill. The sympto-thermal method also has a >99% effectiveness with no chemicals.
Yeah, I think you're right. I wouldn't pay just to login.
I give guitar lessons and a lot of ideas I have come from youtube. Those I might pay for - the cost would have to be small. The rest I could live without so I think the site would die.
There idiots if they complain about their provacy disappearing while allowing their country to become that with the highest level of CCTV AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT STREET VIEW. At the least they are ignorant or hippocrites.
I would probably use an insecure distro so we could hack back in if they do take control.
I think also, it might be a good approach to ADD features. Whilst astronauts are disciplined and professional, ghost are less organised. Maybe some games to waste a bit of time and get them onside.
Maybe SUSE would be a good choice.
Then again, we could make it something that required a high degree of technical proficiency. The ghost are behind the proverbial technological eight ball so maybe a text interface would be best.
Any particular reason you're against Microsoft? They're only trying to make money for their shareholders and nothing stops you from using and developing another OS/App suite/etc...
I think then that OS X would be like perhaps Nicolas Sarkozy. Linux would be Fidel Castro. Unix would have to be Putin, if only to stnad in opposition to Bush.
Unless you've plugged in your Vista Business Keyboard becaue the apple supplied one was crap. Than it's 'alt.'
PS, Why is the basic Vista keyboard SO much better than the basic Apple keyboard?
PPS, If you good folk at apple want to produce a really cool keyboard and have me test it in a production environment, please let me know.
I and the staff in my department do it. I work for RealEstateWA (realestatewa.com.au). Because a lot of the info for Real Estate Agents comes in late in the week (Home open times and such) the work is highly compressed, requiring late Tuesdays, Wednesday and often Thursdays (when we publish). To compensate, every second Friday is off for some staff. With a relatively empty office on Tuesdays, I can do a lot of the IT work - updates and such. It is a brilliant way to work and I look forward to the day when the boss realises how good it is for the business - that we are not simply bumminig around during that time.
Actually the support lines should get better. The load should lighten as folk who are against censorship and are iinet customers - like me - jump ship.
The tense is correct actually. The line of arguement is leading from premise to conclusion. He is extrapolating from data to speculate of future events. He is not being an historian, but a philosopher. Also, you could argue that in this case, 'wont' is being used in the subjunctive tense.
Maybe. That said, there have been a numbe of occassions I have pirated a game only to decide it was great and subsequently purchase it for a friends birthday or something. The benefit is that the overpriced product has usually dropped by then.
I would take that further. I'm pushing at out place to have art developed by our production department. I work for a newspaper and one of my employees is a pro-photograapher and another is an award winning label artist. We're all handy with graphic design and can produce quality work.
It strikes me that catacombs were probably the most 'economical, ie. least disruptive to the environment - thousands in a very small area. And you wouldn't need a GPS, a map would do.
One interesting mutation or effect of natural selection would probably flora and fauna with a naturally higher resistance to radiation. At least by slowly killing ourselves we are making sure other species survive.
Yeah, really wicked. Now all GIMP needs is support for the various colour matching systems such as ANPA,DIC, Fokoltone, HKS, PAntone, Trumatch and TOYO. Sure they cost a lot to license and so are almost guaranteed to NEVER be in Photoshop locking out a huge swathe of the publishing industry.
And really, who cares that it doesn't fit in with CS3 the way photoshop does - it doesn't fit with Krita or Scribus either.
Hey, give it only another decade and it may have some lossless processing gear.
Reality check buddy - Photoshop users aren't out to get Gimp. It doesn't bother them and if it's ever better. Photoshop users only hate clueless Gimp USERS who wouldn't know a proper colour management workflow, from Raw to print to online, if it smashed them in the face with a fully formed colour profile.
How about you continue using GIMP for your happy snaps, and I'll continue using it for aiding in the publication of the newspaper, at which I'm the operations manager, with a distribution of 127,000 copies weekly.
In return for us never crossing into each others territories again, ie you don't pretend you deal with real printing in real quantities and I'll not tell you how to remove auntie's red eyes, we'll stop spreading mis-information such as 'Photoshop users only need CMYK and when GIMP has that they'll be on par.'
I', gonna give you the benefit of the doubt after all that and assume you meant to get modded funny, not half-wit Linuxoverzealot.
I've got to agree with the AC though. They generally are wankers and arsehats. The worst I've met, in terms of journalistic calibre, journalistic ability and professional standards was when I worked for a small Catholic newspaper. If you want to find out which, just go backwards through my posts. I would have supposed until working their they'd have higher standards - they are rock bottom.
Journalists are fickle, thinking that the story of the week is the most important issue in the world - the next week they don't care. They're egotistic thinking because they wrote 300 words on a topic they're an expert - not many real world issues of importance can be summed up in an article. Otherwise they are so enamored with their own hyperbole they they'll wax lyrical at every opportunity. Finally, they'll crawl over they're mother if they think it'll get them on the front page of the paper.
Editors on the other hand are simply the journalists who blew their own horn the loudest. EVERY editor I've ever met or had the displeasure to work for is opinionated without the grey matter or IQ to back it up. They think that because they have a forum to air their opinion that people agree with what they have to say. They will crawl over their mothers for the sake of looking good in front their bosses, even if it means lying through their teeth about their profit margins, finding alternate revenue streams to try and compensate for their lack of entrepreneurial experience, and dismiss anyone who has the balls to tell them they are wrong and grossly amoral and unethical. They also spend to small amount of time getting to grips with the responsibilities or ethical and moral news reporting.
If I sound bitter, then yes, it's true that I am. But then, if any of the journalists of editors I've worked with read this, they'll know what I think of them, and so will anyone I know that reads this. I am also willing to back up anything I say.
Actually, you're a little wrong. A newspapers printing cost is not in a vacuum. I relies on the greater marketing strategy. There is no way a company like IBM is going to advertise on a local news website. You must get local advertising. To get that you need to show your reaching people in your local area. Click-throughs are great, but not as convincing as saying, "We print 100,000 papers and deliver them to all newspapers in the northern metropolitan area.
Advertising is of fundamental importance, it allows the employ of journalists, graphic designers, printers, admin, call centre staff. Modern newspapers are more about the overarching marketing and advertiser strategies as about news.
People have been predicting the death of the newspaper for a while and it is true that major newspapers are saving a large amount of revenue by going digital. The ball game is entirely different for smaller publications.
PS I am currently Production Manager for a large local publication with a publication run exceeding 120,000 and have worked in newspapers my entire adult life.

I think it's great you found a wife who shares your interest in reading slashdot. Well Done!
I originally assumed it was another of those 'gay nigger' posts which used to frequent slashdot. Still not sure though. I love my wife and she is deeply beautiful (also doesn't read slashdot) but that doesn't stop Angelina from being hot.

Sure - five years to build a port. Then start on the next for when that port is drowned.
There idiots if they complain about their provacy disappearing while allowing their country to become that with the highest level of CCTV AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT STREET VIEW. At the least they are ignorant or hippocrites.
Actually, the'hole thing' was 'swollen out of proportion.' I heard it stemmed from fears the name would become the butt of jokes.
I would probably use an insecure distro so we could hack back in if they do take control. I think also, it might be a good approach to ADD features.

Any particular reason you're against Microsoft? They're only trying to make money for their shareholders and nothing stops you from using and developing another OS/App suite/etc...
Unless you live in an increasingly communist dictatorial gov and the OS of choice is open source. It would make me feel a little safer.
I think then that OS X would be like perhaps Nicolas Sarkozy. Linux would be Fidel Castro. Unix would have to be Putin, if only to stnad in opposition to Bush.
