Another useful "advanced" plugin is LiquidRescale:

It implements seam carving. It's not yet available as an Ubuntu package, but hopefully someone will package it up.

Thanks, I came in here looking for some idiot to post that overused phrase. Now I'm happy to find out that the only post to mention it so far was satire.

Oh so you caught the sarcasm? Too bad you didn't catch the fact that my screen name is ramandu, not tjwhaynes; I never posted the links you used for your well thought out summary.

I only saw one image on the resynthesizer page, is that what you're comparing to the demo? If it is then I agree, the adobe demo is much more awe inspiring; however flashy tech demos are not a very valuable metric when comparing the actual capabilities.

And pray tell, just what you base that on? A 360p youtube video? Or perhaps you have access to the full resolution before, and after images shown in the video? Perhaps it's best to wait and see what this tool can do in real life, before touting it's superior "quality".

Just saying.

"There"? I'll assume you mean "their", but that doesn't make much more sense than what you typed. You see, if I pay for a computer I expect to have the rights that go along with ownership; which includes the right to put what ever legal software I have on it. If Apple was loaning me a computer, I could see them not allowing me to install what ever I wanted on it. But such is not the case.

Look here

This reminds me of another game involving little black globs of something called Gish. Which is also available on linux, I haven't bought it but the demo was fun. Anyway downloading the WoG demo now, as several friends recommended it.

Eh, I never said it was new, just that it was a failed meme. Though you're right, it's a couple of years old, the oldest post I found was in 2004. But I have better things to do than debate the time line of slashdot memes, or at least I would like to think so.

It's a meme some AC's have been trying to start; so far it has been a "no go". But I for one am happy that it has been failing, slashdot really doesn't need to have another crappy meme.

For shame, didn't you even read the headline? They want a button not a switch. THESE ARE IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS! ;)
But then again, I wonder if most people would be comfortable using one anyway; assuming they even know what a breaker box is.

The GP said he used dvorak, and most of the major punctuation in dvorak is located under the left hand, while the less used ones are under the right. And don't forget that shift is handy for getting capitals.

It was bought by the Xandros corp. about 2001. So for most practical purposes Corel linux is still around.

A lot of people have a elitist attitude in the Linux community; but it's not restricted to just one group (i.e., the developers or the users). It's the same elsewhere in other OS's as well. But still I find the users are the most likely to espouse elitist attitudes, not the devs.

I'm afraid you are a little confused; most people don't have a XP disc, let alone install from it. The majority of people buy a computer that has the OS already installed by the OEM.
