Take a look at GIMP(photoshop replacement) and darktable(lightroom replacement) for photo workflow. Krita and Inkscape for illustration/paint type stuff. There are many good FOSS alternatives out there, and there are several youtube channels that will teach you how to become proficient with...

we have a WHS, and two wdtv live boxes That we sue for streaming. We have NF and cable. We still use physical media for watching the hi-def stuff with fancy sound, as it's not practical to me to store movies at 20-40gb a pop. I guess we're kinda in the middle right now. We have xb360's, but...

i just got a 495 a few months ago and love it. The software bundle hp gives you is pretty sweet, and is a large reason why i got it. The form factor, 4 drive capacity and decent intel chip are the others. It sits in a cabinet in my HT closet and purrs away. HP really did it right with the...

im enjoying the crap out of my new 360 slim. To those that say it's not slim enough, i call bs. It really is alot more trim than the old one, despite what the specs might say. The slim is quite yummy. I wish they'd shipped it with *at least* a component video cable. All in all tho im happy...

i'm really sorry guys, but count me as one who likes all 6 movies--prequels included. I thought ROTJ was a little campy, and the visual style of the prequels kind of "reset" the look of the franchise, but i appreciate it for what it is. What i am not thrilled with are the edits and...

hey-- maybe they could scoop up the rights to duke nukem forever..... :) --chris

this bad boy going to have a single player campaign? I don't do online gaming(don't like it). I played halo 1, 2, and 3 and enjoyed them alot. Didn't play ODST. I know that us "solitary" gamers aren't the focus anymore, but it'd be nice if we could get word on single player prospects. --chris

Ben--<BR> Thanks for the reveiw. we have a first gen psp and like it. I was hoping this would be a good upgrade, but guess not. I do have some thoughts on UMD<BR><BR>1--The griping over UMD was that it was optical, mechanical, and too big. Not that sony have physical media. I think for...

ok Ben, I'll give it a go...<BR> I played the demo, and while i thought it was visually stunning and the limited combat moves you learn were brutal, it somehow came off to me as just another 3rd person "punch n kick" title, and more or less a "pass". But you seem to be pretty adamant that...

such nice guys, these cable operators are. Hey, seeing as how we're going to a "pay for what you use" model, lets do the same for TV. I watch 4 channels pretty much exclusively, can I just pay for those 4 instead of the 8 million other ones? No? But i thought....

I've listened to "Tuh" for years, even understood where lars and het were coming from in the anti-napster days. I thought they were short sighted, but i understood. But then, i saw that rancid documentary. Christ, why didn't they all just sit in the corner with a tub of rocky-road and box of...

i hope there are mgmt changes at eds. i've know a number of people that worked there and they suck hard core. they're hard on the people, don't give raises, and promote a culture of backstabbing. They still run part of IT at XRX and they suck. I worked for a department that ran its own IT...

no, that's how business at microsoft works. From where I sit eBay was essentially trying to crowbar thier way into CL, and managed to do so by buying the chunk of it they did. How much stock does ford own in chevy? Chevy in dodge? The only times a company buys a competitor's stock is when they...

Do i think he did it? yes. Do I think his conviction was fair? no. From what i've read (i haven't read it all yet) it looks like the prosecution relied more on theatrics and Hans' own testimony stupidity than presenting a solid case. His defense was weak, but their prosecution was as much if...

I believe the ultimate problem here is that we legislated technology. We need to take a lesson from the defense department and manage the convergence to electronic voting just the development of a new weapons system. We settle on one after a bidding process and then test the hell out of it...

all--<BR> I can't say alot about the politics of the situation, there's politics everywhere. However, i can suggest a way this can backfire against both the site and the game makers. A loosely organized boycot. Don't buy kane and lynch. I have to say based on the tv commercials it looked...
