Mass Effect: First Contact

That would be awesome. Its even already got a cool story line: Humans encounter Turians. Turians blow up Humans. Humans send a small fleet that blows up the Turians, Turians send a bigger fleet to capture Shanxi, thinking it is the Human homeworld. Humans send a bigger fleet, kick the Turians in the teeth, and take back Shanxi. Council realizes that the whole thing was a big misunderstanding and brokers a peace treaty.

I would pay to see that. It sounds pretty awesome to me. Cue the sequels.

As long as the majority of users keep using IE, web developers will have to support it.

I agree, but I have to say I'm glad I don't have to buy and deploy all that cable every time I take a road trip anymore.

Don't forget Picasa, now also available for the Mac (to save us from iPhoto's insistence of managing the files). I haven't used PSP since the early 90s.

Most of the time for holiday shots and what not, something like Picasa is good enough, and the work-flow is much easier and faster (important to people like me who take 100+ photos a day). I drop back to Photoshop for piecing together panoramas and HDRs, and when it's better quality output is required on the few occasions, but by then, I'm down to an album of 60 or less (I don't want to completely bore other people).

I tried GIMP a few years ago, and won't go back to it. And for those promoting GTK - yuck! They couldn't even get the basics right, like the common file open/close dialog (and why they didn't delegate to the native versions on OSes like Windows is beyond me). Maybe it's improved since then, but I have no desire to change my current work-flow. It's courses for horses though: a lot of people around here like and support it, and good for them.

Oh rly? Time Warner would seem to disagree. I mean, clearly you know more than I do, but doesn't that look at awful lot like a cable company selling commercial time? Look at the side bar, they even advertise what popular shows they still have spots for!

Well, clearly its a humanitarian effort. After all, much of the violence in Iraq would most likely not be there if America had not invaded. It is, therefore, America's responsibility to help end the violence and rebuild as much infrastructure as possible to return the country to as much of a normal state as can be had.

Or maybe its just a face-saving exercise. Take your pick.
