It's considerably safer to put plutonium in orbit than your chili.
It's really *not* the chili, it's the resulting output.
If this were a rare occurrence, then yeah, I'd be up in arms.
It's *NOT* being a "rare occurrence" that is alarming. It's the fact that it isn't that we should be concerned.
Do not use, or can not use?
Don't *want* to use. Because (at this point in its development) GIMP often does not do what they want, and many find the UI unusable. Things could change, and I would embrace GIMP is it did what I do with PS, and did it well. Adobe is the sole reason I still have a Windows machine (yes, I could get PS for OSX, and may very well do that).
Depends on your definition of professional
No it doesn't. Most professional photographers and graphic artists do not use GIMP.
However, how often does a local paper need to work with 20 layer images?
Ask the folks in the advertising department. Probably they regularly do a lot more than resizing new photos. The fact is, professionals prefer PS not because it is "what they know", but because it does what they need. Even excusing the convoluted UI, GIMP *does not* fill the needs of *most* professionals.
That's nice. Do you often work with 20 and 30 layer images? No?
the vast majority of facebook users are not concerned with privacy
This is a point that seems lost on most Slashdotters: Most of the people that use Facebook are quite happy with its "privacy" rules. They willingly supply personal information, and have the expectation that it will be spread about. Thus, Facebook is mostly a problem for those that don't use it.
The kid should have been roped off for this stunt, not kind of sort of assisted by the naughty vicar there.
The Vicar has already seen the boy "roped off", the element of suction adds more excitement to it.
Knuth "also stated that this successor of TeX will have features like 3-D printing, animation, stereographic sound."
In other words, it will become a bloated mess.
I don't understand fishing metaphors! Seriously. What is that supposed to mean?
I don't know either, perhaps someone can frame it as a car analogy.
You can even tune into the broadcasts from the International Space station.
Yes, well, I suppose that is "geek porn" of a sort. But it's not what I had in mind.
Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
