General Software Discussion / Re: Rumors of Adobe releasing CS2 for free? (true or NOT true)

« on: January 14, 2013, 03:41 AM »

Just as endnote: Adobe forum thread with clarifications from Dov Isaacs  (mentioned in Forbes article) seems to be deleted.
I wonder if it's not my VPN issue?

It never crossed my mind that iPhone wouldn't support Java - the very idea seems unthinkable!

Really? Not a single thought after anti-Flash campaign?

These technologies may seem obsolete but I think SJ's reason was rather simple: any non-Apple framework would give users the possibility to install non-amazing apps.

@helmut85
I may apologize for first improper title but I don't feel guilty for spamming. I do not consider it spam.
My posting was more naive than malicious. As wraith808 wrote: I thought it was helpful.

I remember from the past situation where small company called Ritlabs released WinRAR keys for free for one day for everyone.
It quickly had became DDOS for them and I remember waiting more than about 4 hours before I've got my key. Some of my friends were not so lucky.
I thought it may be the same for Adobe.

So as I value people here - after thinking about it - I've shared news. Partially hoping someone will validate it too - for installer and legal side.

I'd like to notice that I hate spam appearing on forum boards. I hate spam in emails (so much that I deleted 90% of my address book because people couldn't stop bothering me).

On the other hand: I will not be surprised when Adobe pulls it back. As matter a fact: I've expected them to do it as quick as it possible and not being quiet for so long.
It may sound like spoiled kid words but I expected them to be "evil" right away. I've been on lot of Adobe seminaries and presentations. And while many companies always tried to be remembered somehow (sometimes by giving goofy stuff like posters or free keys for some quiz winners), Adobe just did their excellent presentations and that is all. I've yet too see Adobe ballpoint

They have awesome evangelists and very good graphic tools. But they also are the kings of the hills sometimes.

As for title: it's up to mouser to decide.

I am waiting for tomorrow to see if I will have to uninstall it but something interesting from forbes comments and from here:
http://forums.adobe....#4974633?PID=4485850

The licence terms which you agree to when you install this software say your use of the software is legal if you have “obtained” it from Adobe. It doesn’t say “purchased” or “bought”. If they want to make it illegal, they must change the licence. Until they do, saying that it’s illegal in a forum post doesn’t make it illegal. It certainly appears that it’s not what they intended, but that’s different.

No high hopes now though.

And I agree for changing thread titles…

General Software Discussion / Re: Software that sounded useful, so you bought it, but then...

« on: January 07, 2013, 04:48 PM »

For me it would be Axialis IconWorkshop. I think I had bought it through BitsDuJour and found out how overrated it is.

Very rare updates which brings almost nothing new. I admit that some time ago they have changes UI completely but other news were only icon packs.
Few years ago someone requested layers support and they did not implement it so far but gave Image Objects instead. And this is just drag'n'drop + Explorer panel.
There is still no nice mouse scroll zoom and tablet support is little bit strange.

I have it more than year and I recollect using it about 5 times. More often I create icons with Inkscape + Greenfish Icon Editor which are free.

Not 100% accurate quote but close enough for me:

Science adjusts its views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.

-Tim Minchin

Sadly, since I had heard about dark mass and dark energy (and other dark mambo-jumbo), I've realized that current science is more like religion with pretty strange base.
Black holes with mass so big that nothing can escape… wait! They can radiate.
Lots of particles building world… wait! It does not sum up! OK now we have dark mass. Still not working… dark energy for rescue!
Nothing can be faster than light… OK tachyons.
Absolute zero? Now we have negative temperatures which are hotter than infinity. Seriously? Is it still math?

Eh, I am no longer even sure what am I complaining about.

I am starting to be sure that this is anti-stuff issue.
Lot of protection apps try to access (unpack) archives on file read into memory which may slow everything else down.

I've just checked my Comodo suite (enabled packed files deep scanning) and it truly freezes my PC.
Tested with Total Commnder/XYplorer and folders with lot of packed files. Of course, I had to remove their executables from exclusions list.

I had WinXP and McAfee on old work laptop and it also was going fully white sometimes:


I don't recall exactly how I fixed it (although it was before new hardware) but I know I played with antivirus configuration.

Would 12.21.12 formatting, i.e. multiple decimal formats with successive decimal places in fractional terms of their predecessors, actually have any mathematical value? It certainly would be a curiosity, though decimal numbers certainly wouldn't cut it. How many number systems would you need? Could it cut down on complexity? Well, up to base-64 certainly, but beyond that? Nah... I don't think it's really useful. Well. That was a fun brain fart.

Mix it with smelly date formatting - not everyone on Earth use mm.dd.yyyy.
