Well, that would be because you do printing in the physical world and not in the plane of platonic perfection where, apparently, all of the GIMP print jobs get sent to (I assume this since I have never seen, in 15 years in the biz, an actual print job made with GIMP). A cloud-filled wonderland where 4-color separations happen by magic, trapping is done for free by dedicated itinerant monks (trappists... get it?) and fluffy bunnies pre-flight your print jobs while you drink frothy mugs filled from the free-as-in-beer trees.

It's the classic OSS answer to missing features: "Who needs it?"

In the 11th century Urban III refused to condemn a bishop accused of keeping his preteen daughter - by a nun! - as a concubine. U3 quoted Jesus - "Let he who is without sin..." - to the accusers and sent the bishop home; Where his flock burned his house down around him.

The situation hasn't changed in 1,000 years. Well, except now the Church can't answer criticism with a crusade that wipes out the population of southern France.

I hate that analogy.

Jackasses are beasts of burden, dray animals. Donkeys WORK and they work hard. They're smart, tough and eminently useful.

Thoroughbreds are high-strung single-purpose overbred dimwitted toys that only indulgent wealthy people own or want.

Google and I have been a plausible match for a long time. Web-centric, check. Search, check. Open-source, check. The list goes on.

Unstable, check. Virus ridden, check. Poorly documented, check. Good enough but cheaper than the best, oh you better believe that's a check.

Put your hand in the box.

What's in the box?

Pain.

Please come work for my design studio, someone who can pull multi-terabyte file-servers out of their ass will help my budgeting issues immensely.

*Any* problem like this would be disastrous due to the Kessler Syndrome.

... The Infinity Ball!

Although...we've got those on Earth! We hit them into little pockets with sticks! And we got higher numbers, too.

And because I destroyed their most devastating weapon, which turned out to be pretty lame, the entire population began to worship me, like unto a god!

When in this position what do you folks usually do?

I take my two weeks of vacation, don't check my email and turn off my cell phone.

That tends to learn 'em.
