"I am well aware of that it stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. But this does not lessen the fact that it is a horrid name for the program." - Jayel Aheram
"GIMP is really a horrid name. A "gimp" is someone who is lame or crippled. Though, it can be argued that it is very much an appropriate name..." - Jayel Aheram
"You would think that the publishers would welcome this as this will be a boon for the magazine themselves. They are getting more exposure for their advertising. If they are smart, the magazine publishers should be able to track how many views the copies of the magazines are getting on that site. Metrics that they can use to charge higher ad-rates for their advertisers." - Jayel Aheram
"This article serves to prove what a complete farce the DMCA really is. As for the government being immune from certain provisions of the DMCA, that is not necessarily a bad thing. The Library of Congress needs the exemption in order to carry out its mandate to archive the nation's cultural works. If the DMCA and the draconian copyfascist laws applied to everyone, the Library of Congress will not be able to do its archival duties." - Jayel Aheram
"I see it differently: Ron Paul was justified in voting against this resolution. Why? Because why is the United States condemning another country for human rights abuses when the US itself is guilty of the same? Guantanamo, Iraq, and even right in our backyard. I believe that the "no" vote was just that. To point out the hypocrisy of the United States. It is like the kettle calling the pot black." - Jayel Aheram
"It seems odd that this is even an issue. We are fretting over semantics; people need to realize the trivialities of arguing whether or not homosexuality is genetic. There is only one issue that is at stake here: does the action utilize the unlawful application of force or coercion? We have decided as a society that small children and animals are unable to give their consent to engage in any sexual act. So any sexual activity on their part must always be the product of coercion and therefore both immoral and unlawful. Homosexuals, on the other hand, engage in voluntary consent. This same standard can be applied to any actions undertaken by an individual, whether it be alcohol, prostitution, or drugs." - Jayel Aheram
"Hypocrisy abounds. The same people complaining CNET's use of a photo for a news article without permission are the same people using t Did they seek the permission of those photographers and artists whose work were included in the screenshot? I bet not." - Jayel Aheram
