A Blender3D user made a 3D concept video of Project Orion as it was originally thought up. Of course, the voyage to Mars never happened, but it's pretty cool to watch how the propulsion would have worked:
I know what you mean. I even tried installing Winamp through WINE but no luck (I like using the modern Winamp skins). The best solution I've found so far is a combination of XMMS for streaming audio (hooked up through StreamTuner) and AmaroK for when I want to see the album covers of the crazy netlabel tunes on my HD.
Rhythmbox was really nice too (seemed lightweight even though it was very capable), but I couldn't get it to play random songs from my playlist in a way that I liked (it added songs to the playlist and then seemed to subtract them as it went along, which I assumed would leave me with zero songs in my playlist at the end). I believe XMMS even supports FLAC with a plugin, as do most other Linux audio players.
Inkscape uses the same GUI code on all systems. It was postulated in #inkscape that you are seeing the GTK-Wimp theme in Windows which could be causing some confusion.
I just tried it. It works fine, and I'm sure it worked in previous versions as well:
1. Create normal arrow 2. Select the curve with the arrow point on it 3. Ctrl+Alt+C or Path --> Stroke to Path 4. Select the arrow tip in node selection mode and color it (both stroke and fill can be colored) 5. Thank you, drive through please.
The results of a trace wouldn't look anything like that wireframe. With a trace you get very random/unintentional-looking contours that all add up to the finished product, so you get a more impressionistic effect by looking at the individual shapes. It's obvious he hasn't used the trace tool for this.
So...why announce the software when you can't even download the binaries for it yet? Somebody jumped the gun. Now, 85% of the/. comments are going to be "why is it just a source tarball? Open Source sucks!!!"...sigh...
If you want to try it out and you don't like compiling, wait another day for the official binaries, then give it a whirl - this Inkscape release really is that good. Very fast, excellent illustration tool. Congratulations to the dev team.
Of course "Brand-Aware" Windows users are starting to move to Macs. Microsoft has taken the Windows brand, put it on a T-shirt, and worn it to the idiot party. Anybody who uses a computer and is even remotely brand-conscious knows that Apple has it and Microsoft doesn't have it.
But I'm noticing a trend among Mac users, too: A lot of the geekier users are pretty disappointed to see their ranks swelling with complete airheads who *only* care about brand. It's been this way for a while, but it seems to be getting worse. Growing pains, I guess.

hell
some prob in my PC, send yuor man to check it out, i unable to use internet.
thanks
Somehow that phrase, "send your man to check it out" really made me laugh. The computer science student, on the other hand...wow, how sad.

Gotta love the way pressure forces people to take extreme measures.

Been using it for the past few days for a hobby project so I thought I'd post this. It shows the new layers and color palettes.

Sorry it's in KDE, seeing how Inkscape is GTK...at the moment Skype isn't working in Gnome, so...

That is so strange, I thought I saw this exact reply in the Digg story yesterday...
Maybe its time we started boycotting Yahoo?
i ew/ (Especially part 6, but watching the entire thing is best)
Thank you for that. If anyone is in doubt, please watch Frontline's "The Tank Man" documentary here:

I was so disgusted after watching it that I couldn't think of supporting Yahoo anymore.
