gimp is the Gnu answer to photoshop. about as powerful though a little less freindly and fast.
Please. Gimp is a damn nice piece of work, especially since it's Free, but never Never NEVER say that it's "about as powerful" as Photoshop. Any graphics/design/DTP/etc professional can tell you several dozen ways that you're wrong.
For an amateur user who generates maybe handful of designs per month, Gimp is fine once you cover the learning curve. It's not Photoshop, but it doesn't need to be, so don't lie about it.
Saying the japanese do it better is just a faulty argument.
No, saying your Mustang is representative of the US Auto industry is a faulty argument. I'm glad you enjoyed your anecdote, but it's just a single outlying data point.
Every serious analysis of manufacturing quality (for example, the annual Consumer Reports list) shows that Japanese makers on average are way ahead of their US peers.
Think of spammers like an infection. How does your body deal with it?
An interesting proposal. Spews and SBL are probably Leukocytes. SpamCop users might be APCs. But I don't see any Macrophages in our virtual immune system. That must be why spam is so rampant -- we need activists to go eat the spammers! Volunteers, anyone?
they would have to sue every game company that has put out a game the last couple years.
Repeat after me: Patents are not the same as Trademarks. The principle of trademarks is "enforce it or lose it". The principle of patents is "sit quietly, then sue whichever users you want to hurt". Selective patent enforcement is quite common.

Overture is a pay-for-placement system. It's comparable to the Google AdWords results rather than the actual Google search.
Now for the fun part. Every time you click an Overture result, you cause the advertiser to pay Overture. As mentioned at SpamBattle, this is a great way to screw companies that sell spam software or services:
The university I work for has found itself on various spam blacklists each September for the past 3 years. The reason has been the same each time: underclassmen in the dorms installing old RH distros or whatever that includes an open mail relay.
This spring SMTP will be restricted to only approved departmental servers. Anyone else gets dropped at the firewall. It's a shame (academic freedom and all that) but really necessary.
I think these guys have finally got around to renting Armaggedon
No, I think you (and whoever up-modded you) fill entirely too much of your brain with bad sci-fi.
The chance of a black hole suddenly popping up and sucking in the earth is around 10^-100. The chance of the sun extinguishing or exploding sooner than 2 billion years from now is comparable. This is based on both theoretical calculation (simple astrophysics) and physical observation (never seen).
Last, between chemical rocketry, ion engines, and good old H-bombs, we have technology to do something about a future impact, given sufficient lead time. Summary: don't be a dork, russx2.
For the official record, my wife is fun, smart, sexy, and:
She was pissed about a co-worker sneaking on to her lab computer to read his Hotmail, so she set up a Hosts file that blocks Passport.
She bought me an RJ45 crimping kit for my birthday last year, and she has borrowed it from me for her own use more than once.
The year before that she got me a Victorinox CyberTool.
She has written a LISP parser and a C garbage collector ( CS51, as an elective no less)
Sure, I have to spend a couple hundred bucks a year on Valentines and our Anniversary, but it's way cheaper than a couple nights at a titty bar or whatever you poor schmucks have to do. More importantly, it's a shared bank account and she makes more than I do. Bwa ha ha!

Also note that use of the Brushed Metal look for Safari is explicitly discouraged in Chapter 5 Section 4 (Textured Windows):
" This window style has been designed specifically for use by--and is therefore best suited to--applications that provide an interface for a digital peripheral, such as a camera, or an interface for managing data shared with digital peripherals, such as the Address Book application.
This appearance may also be appropriate for applications that strive to re-create a familiar physical device--the Calculator application, for example.
Avoid using the textured window appearance in applications or utilities that are unrelated to digital peripherals or to the data associated with these devices. "
From these examples (not to mention QuickTime 5 Movie Player and many many others) we can see how much Steve Jobs cares about Apple's guidelines. Dogfood? What's that?

It's clear that top-rated chess machines are now roughly on par with top-rated chess humans. So let's quit having these head-to-head week-long grudge matches.
Load each software on really nice computers, put the computers on wheeled carts with a UPS battery underneath, and allow them to compete in ordinary chess tournaments just like the humans do.
Then we'll see whether these programs can handle multiple opponents with different strategies. They'll build up ranking points, and a match record that can be analyzed. Let's see how long it takes for a machine to work its way up, win, and successfully defend the world title.

How is having a 16-bit floating point value per channel different from having an 16-bit integer
Because light intensity is exponential rather than linear. One canonical example is that a black sheet of paper in full sun is actually brighter (in absolute terms) than a 100 watt bulb in a closed room. Therefore, FP makes more sense than integer.
