Comment Raw Therapee can handle JPEG/TIFF (Score 5, Informative) 271

I don't know why the author thinks that Raw Therapee can't process JPEGs or TIFFs. Just go into the preferences screen, uncheck "Show only RAW files", and you're set.

Also missing from the comparison: Rawstudio and UFRaw.

If you're interested in RAW processing on Linux, there's an excellent blog called Linux Photography about this very subject.

Submission + - Bill Gates & The History of Microsoft

Submitted by 70sstar
70sstar writes: A 1-1/2 -hour recording of Bill Gates addressing a crowd of university students in the late '80s was recently found and digitised, and has been circulating some IRC channels for the past few weeks. The speech seems to have found a permanent home on the web page of the University of Waterloo CS Club where the talk is reported to have taken place.

The talk itself covers the past, present, and future of computing as of 1989. While the former two can be interesting to the high-tech historian, the real star is Bill Gates' prediction of computing yet to come. Like the now-legendary '640k' line, some of Gates' remarks are almost laughably off-mark ('OS/2 is the way of the future!'); and yet, by and large, he had accurately, chillingly, prophesied an entire decade or two of soft- and hardware development.

All in all, a fascinating talk from, it seems, one of the most powerful speakers in CS and IT.
