Submission + - Irate user forks GIMP project; claims GIMP no longer an IMP. (sooke.bc.ca) 3
owenferguson writes: "Academic Matt Skala, most widely known to Slashdot users for his prescient essay "What Colour are your bits?," is heading up a new fork of the popular GIMP open-source project. Like many other forks of popular open-source projects, Skala's NoXCF-GIMP is both awkwardly named and fueled by a righteous rage over radical UI alterations. GitHub for the project, which makes the software file format neutral, is here."

First first post on Slashdot is definitely a working-from-home type of achievement. I suggest you spend your first month or two trying to get a first post on a Slashdot story, logged in, with a rational comment.
Comment Re:Or drop the cheques all together. (Score 1) 480
Disagree because I am in Canada and work for employers in the USA and Romania. Cheques in US funds are mailed direct from either a corporate accounts receivable department or my escrow broker. They arrive directly at my credit union, where the nice girl behind the counter deposits them and clears them upon arrival, placing the funds in a US dollar denominated electronic account connected to the rest of my accounts via web interface. I pay no fees at all for this or the connected checking and savings accounts as long as I maintain a $1000 balance, which is easy to do with up to five cheques arriving daily. Wire transfers are costly (in Canada, anyway) and there was that whole dick move thing where the trade federation deleted the codes for the Iranian banks from the system.
Comment Or drop the phone all together. (Score 1) 480
Seriously. The phone is dead technology. I've been freelancing from home for 3 years, making good money, and have not had to deal with a single telephone call in the entire time. I was hired by email, and that's how I submit my deliverables. Get paid with a cheque in the mail. Phones are for chumps.
