So you really, honestly believe that if he'd answered the questions that the Swedish investigators wanted to ask, that he'd have been sent from Sweden, via some flavor of rendition, right to Gitmo? Assange's nearly Jobs-like reality distortion field is definitely getting to you. Or, you're just trolling in the interests of ... what, exactly?

What Hogan writes is pure rubbish. Serious photographers, even the ones using Adobe CC, knows full well that there is no such thing as The Cloud when it comes to professional photography. I am just a cheerful enthusiast who have longs since letting my 5D, 6D and GH4 blast though pictures. I try to make them, not fire and forget. Still, my Lightroom library is the neighborhood og 500GB these days. That's not going into the cloud and onto "all my devices.

Hogan should stop gulping down the cool aid and realize that Apple is slowly abandoning the market that once saved them, the creative professionals. Look at FCP. Look at Aperture. Creative professionals trusting their livelihood to Apple these days are suicidal nuts.Except for hardware of course. Apple knows hardware-

They have not. What they used to be friendly towards was the creative professional though. With FCP X and now Aperture, they are stating loud and clear that they are no longer interested in supporting the creative professionals, but would rather cater to the mass-market dummy. That isn't a bad business decision as such. Clearly FCP X is easier to use than previous versions of FCP, and it is priced accordingly. It is also probably going to sell tons more than did the original FCP. Mass-market at the expense of the ones that used to keep Apple alive, the creative professional.

With this new Apple attitude,if you are a creative professional, investing in Apple hardware or software would seem moronic and (professionally) suicidal.

Time for you meds again

When you "edit in" whatever it might be, Lightroom creates a TIFF file to edit, so RAW or no support for your camera is not an issue. You are covered, both on this issue and on the "cloud" issue.

I suggest you read the information about Photoshop CC again. Seriously. You are worried about something you need not worry about. That is, unless you're you "work in the field" with no internet connection for more than a month. Not a lot of us do.

Contrary to popular myth, the Adobe CC offering is a fantastic offering for most of Adobe's customers.

Not my "meme." I rarely, if ever, refer to it.

But, it's true. Capitalism relies on private control and a free, competitive market. Crony capitalism is government control and a resulting non-free market by explicitly decreasing competition.

I mean, sure, you can call it whatever you want to, but when I say "capitalism works" and someone says "crony capitalism is proof it doesn't," that's just stupid, because crony capitalism flatly violates some of the primary tenets of capitalism.

So you admit you lied.

False, but telling that you think such a stupid thing. To you, there's no difference between freedom, and not-freedom. It's just two different options, neither better than the other.

a. I never saw you ask that. It might've been in the comment I replied to, and I didn't see it, because after your massive whopper about what you want people to think crony capitalism is, I stopped reading.

b. Why would I produce an example of something I never asserted? Once again: holy shit, you're retarded.

I haven't seen the case strongly made. If you have a link, I'd be obliged. Stories I saw all handwaved at it.

But they are Republicans. Voter suppression is expected. It's OK.

Only because I see YOU STANDING BEHIND ME. What the fuck, man?!?

Sorry, no. I have these things called pride and integrity.

You fucking asshole.

Nice, except you said "altruism," which is an illusion. True, Cochran is not altruistic, but no one ever is.

This is the first I've heard of this. I want to know specifics. For example, does state law say you cannot participate in GOP runoff if you participated in Dem primary? And is that what happened? If so, then yes, Cochran should lose, but really, MS screwed up, because they should have disallowed those Dem primary voters from participating.
