Ok, who took away the edit button?

Anyway Thanks for the idea

See edit above. Now that I think about it, Give a Hoot, buy Local and don't Pollute, is a pretty nifty slogan.

I used to think about it, but my raging homophobia now prevents me from being electable, apparently. Because I notice little things like the fact that filing lawsuits is now the most romantic thing a gay couple can do to proclaim their love.

Interesting. That does sound like a bug (verses a design decision, it is usually clear which is which in Blender even though for most people the end result is no different). I always use the button on a pen to be the middle mouse button, the inability to do this in some software like Maya I find annoying.

Another bug is that it is impossible to do some actions in the timeline when left button is set to select.

Changing the left button to select does not change what the middle mouse button does. I have used Blender in this arrangement and have no problem.

IMHO the few remaining 3D programs that do not use middle mouse button for rotating the viewport are broken. All 2D software, and all non-professional 3D viewing software, use the middle mouse button for panning/tumble. Blender works correctly here and it is the big Maya/etc that have the user-unfriendly setting.

That does not excuse some other Blender problems with their UI, however.

How Microsoft has gone backwards: In Visual Studio 2012, I barely get 73 columns of text when I first open. After moving all the side windows of metacode to the other monitor, I get a more respectable 125 columns.

Oregon's far enough.

Yep- every layer of extra complexity in the market is essentially an anonymizer firewall.

Even when you have attempts to demand the information (ingredient and nutrition labels come to mind, or the apparent extra burden of adding the letters GMO to a label that went down in defeat in Washington State last November), you get pushback, because the market likes to run in secret, on cavet emptor rules when not regulated to be otherwise.

A great way around this is to buy local as possible- for instance, starting in a few weeks, I'm going to be getting all my veggies and fruits from my cousin down the road. As direct a market as you can get.

Yes, you would. Because you're reading with individualistic rose colored glasses that assume the magical market will fix everything.

Yes as of last April only:

"In April 2013, Microsoft released an open source JPEG XR library under the BSD licence.[41][42] ... the previously released "HD Photo Device Porting Kit"[43] was incompatible with the GNU GPL."

"Bad Trip" is used to describe any situation where a person has an emotional experience that they are having trouble handling.
 
There's another definition- any situation where a person has such reduced cognitive ability that their actions preclude survival. The stereotype is the guy who thinks he is superman and tries to stop the locomotive, but other similar situations exist.

First *concentration* was 1938.

Morning glories did not evolve overnight in 1938, nor apricot seeds, nor any of the other plants this drug can be concentrated from.

Exactly what I was thinking. I've known too many suicides in my life on bad trips, from the "I can fly off a 20 story building" to the "I'm superman and I can stop a train" to not know that LSD affects the instinct for survival.

Wow, mod parent up.

The only other advice I have to give, is check out the free tools that surround the areas you are interested in. Expanding closed source software is still a money pit, and perhaps always will be.
