Well, I learned with 3d studio max (whatever version was new in -97).
It took around one year of self learning to get in grips with the features to actually produce something nice, but I made steady progress and it was always enjoyable to learn new things.
Since then, I have also learned some Maya and some NURBS specific package I forget now.
I have tried to learn blender several times. The starting curve is just too steep. It is not fun. I once waded through the newbie guide and managed to do some basic modeling and texturing, but it took a lot of effort. I tried to do something on my own and was completely lost again. I accidentally did something and was utterly lost of how to get back on track. The workflow was just weird to me. I could follow tutorials, but couldn't apply what I learned to what I wanted it to do. Finally I just gave up.
Immediately after seeing this post, I added the ubuntu PPA for latest blender and updated.
Yeah. "OMGZ IT'S FINALLY DOING WHAT I WANT!"-moment, just as someone described would not happen.

Are Gamers Safer Drivers? 220

Mozilla Proposes 'Do Not Track' HTTP Header 244
MozTrack writes "The emergence of data mining by third party advertisers has caused a national debate from privacy experts, lawmakers and browser supporters. Mozilla's Firefox, a popular browser company, has proposed a new feature that will prevent people's personal information from getting mined and sold for advertising. The feature would allow users to set a browser preference that will broadcast their desire to opt-out of third party, advertising-based tracking. It would do this via a 'Do Not Track' HTTP header with every click or page view in Firefox."

Hmm, well yes, but the original question did not have the 'have'. It makes some sense to me that it is used in conjuction with 'd or would, but the sentence would seem broken without the adverb:

I'm not a native English speaker, so bare with me.
Is rather really supposed to be used as a verb? To me it looks and sounds silly. I would always prefer to reword the phrase to use it as a umm... preposition? adjective? projective?
Like "I'd rather have WikiLeaks concentrate on leaks about..."
or
"I'd rather like for WikiLeaks to concentrate on leaks about..."

You can soon buy these for £50 at the amazon.co.uk.
At least some of the disadvantaged are poor alcoholics/narcotics addicts. They will quickly sell the computer to get a fix.
