i have fdisked a 3 gig drive (with a win98 boot disk) and format insisted that it saw 4 gigs. even from the linux partition it looks like 4 gigs. both linux and win98s fdisk sees only 3 gigs.
eps is for print, static content and with much precise detail paid to color. its easy for eps files to get huge, for example when they have raster images. with svg, said rasters can be jpgs or pngs for example, thus much smaller size.
not to mention extending for animation, interactivity, and noise is probably soon so we can ditch flash...
actually not NDA (its been awhile) but it is
a very restrictive licence on what you can actually do with it. now i cant find it. use to be easy to find.
my bitch with it being thier claim of being an open standard and that it forces web designers who want to use it (notice all the job descriptions wanting flash?) to use windows or macos. to make
content thats only usable on a few platforms, defeating the purpose of the web.
on irix, glDrawPixels is the fastest way to get an arbritatry frame buffer to the screen (unless you store your arbritrary frame buffers in texture memmory) but this is only true of irix. most other gl implementations are slower. thats probably why erdas is so fast in comparison.
using open gl for the gimp would be easy, its a simple call, but it would slow the gimp down for most platforms. maybe an #ifdef FAST_GL would be a good thing...
i agree with you on the interface and use of irix. and as far as its core, its good for large amounts of data (thier high bandwidth hardware helps too) but the development environment is CRAP!!! at least for development of free software. maybe things are better with thier very expensive comercial compiler, but you would still have to deal with multiple binary formats and other such non sense. also, i find irix a little buggy and not as stable or robust as most linux dists.
alomst anything on screen. film, video, web. and yes, you can do print, just that calibrations more difficult.
when i use to make my living off print, i would work in RGB and let the printers handle the CMYK. it worked great (and for print formats that take RGB, like fugix which gives nice output). of course, i was carefull about the gamut. (with fugix, this was not a problem, but i only used that sometimes) most of this time i was still using photoshop, and the gamut warning was nice. but my point is that not all print work needs to be done with CMYK, and most of the time, where ever you take the files for printing can do better color seperations than you can. if we could get printer profiles for the gimp then a gamut warning should not be too hard to add.
hard drives are the only thing left that produce significant heat in a notebook. and they use alot of power. if we get hard drives that dont do this, maybe we can go back to notebooks without built in fans. one less moving/noisy part.
look at the effort that went into the matrox drivers. think its any coincedence that matrox makes the best 2d cards out there? (it was debatable until nine went out) its worth it more to spend the time and effort on supporting good hardware. seems like the SiS cards are not that good and thus, not that worth supporting. If the mga drivers supported gamma, they would be perfect.
at least not in mac os X. console apps probably, but anything with X needs an X server. apple, for some reason that still escapes me, decided not to base thier GUI on X so the vast majority of whats on freshmeat (including gtk, and thus gimp) will not just compile. if an X server and an X development environment come out for os X then we can talk.
youll also have to get a three button mouse and get it to work (which may be simple, i dont know) apple better do something about this for the maya port. even the NT version requires 3 mouse buttons.
seems a little complex from what i saw on thier site, but anyway, what do these commercial firewalls, especially gauntlet, have over packet filters like ipf? maybe i should ask them.
does this actually stop malformed or otherwise decided to be bad by policy network data? it seems to claim that each entire packet can be scanned for arbitrarily defined "evil data"
no offense, but i still dont see myself trusting the security of anything so critical on software i dont have source for, especially if its so complex. maybe im just silly/paranoid that way. i agree with the other posters about having other apps do the other tasks, but im also not into censorware. funny. never seen free or open source censorware....
grue23 says: pf(ilter) is also the only freely available NAT for Solaris. It's an awesome firewall/NAT combo, and even already supports IPv6 for Solaris 8 (and I believe for the current BSD build).
same for irix. but whose going to put a packet filter on an (irix running) sgi?
ipf is what the BSDs use instead of ipchains. its a clean packet filter and NAT, and supposed to run on linux 2.0, or so it claims here. look under changes for 3.2
many good little firewall boxes are usually bsd (or linux) based machines that cant be configured as much.
Network Flight Recorder is one such device(not a firewall of course) that cant be configured at all. the openbsd box you want to install is the real deal and they have you there to make it do whatever is needed. i have yet to see a "real" router ping for lowest latency on different lines to determin which one to use for example. but a little perl on a bsd box did that trick nicely.
you can also show them the messages from bugtraq, (a security vunerablilty / exploit mailing list if your not already on it) where sometimes, firewalls and little boxes come up. openbsd does not. almost any security site can help here. rootshell is another quick easy one.
if they keep ignoring you, with your skills, maybe you should work elsewhere or just go to work take advantage of the free time and pay check your getting anyway.
That default install is also set up out of the box with other stuff that just makes life easier, down to the little details. for example less is already installed and set as your pager. granted its easy to install and set less in any other OS, this is just an example. another is dhcp and apache already being there, and like other BSDs, ipfilter ready to go.
so if you want to home firewall / NAT / router thats easy to set up and use, the default install gives you all that.
my point here is that its also very well thought out for its other uses as well, and unlike netbsd, they are not afraid to break traditions if they think something is better. (they are not like slackware here, again, its just little things)
even the installation is well thought out. almost all of it is just hitting enter for defaults except paritioning, which almost anyone doing this is going to have thier own preferences for anyway.
i think the fact that most of us ftp install is because its so easy even if you have the CD.
i still dont use it for alot of my work, it does lack some stuff that linux has. (like java-1.2)

ibm (and dell?) both make laptops that can handle it, the one from ibm (a20p) is expensive.
same here, even the monitors that sgi ships running with 1280x1024 as the standard res.

i have a feeling netbsd will be a better development environment than irix, but i will miss the opengl.

when the local art collage asked me to teach a photoshop class, i asked if i could teach gimp instead. no.
there is now a -STABLE branch to the cvs tree,
good for those who dont like applying patches by hand.

They only allow code into the main tree that they have audited. this includes BIND. obsd still uses bind 4
while bind is important, not sure it deserved to be number one.
the docs and the man pages are also carefully maintained. almost all the man pages have examples.

"In general, the server segment is extremely crucial to Intel," Ambrose said, though he added, "Clearly, the desktop
market is much bigger."
why is the server crucial? so they can keep desktop control?
