I wish I could select two...because OOo feels almost as bloated as office, but 100% compatibility is going to be the deciding factor.

@amolad: sorry, that guy is a crackpot. I futzed around his website for a while, thinking it was pretty benign until I read his paper on AIDS: [perceptionstudios.com]

Man, I love my xmarks. Hopefully they will open-source the code and someone will improve the host-your-own version. For personal use, I don't see how it would require that beefy of a server, but getting it packaged for Suse might be a challenge. Oh well...

bah, it is probably 4chan just messing with Iran again.

@crazycrsx: What I really want to know is why bother comparing things that just...you know...kinda suck?

@Salacion: mateine is caffeine.

@Tony Kaye:eeeeew

@chauncy that billups: If it doesn't bloom before I'm finished pouring the water, I dump it and try again.

can we please just leave all this "No photoshop edits!" bull behind?

@PurpleHeezy: lightroom can also do local clarity adjustments. But all of these tools we're talking about (camera raw, photoshop, lightroom) are basically different aspects of photoshop.

@bikmate: By your definition, almost every multi-use application is bloatware. Things we use every day. Mail Clients, chat, word processors, mouse drivers, photoshop, Growl, etc. They all do things that 90% of us don't ever use. But if you need that one feature that one time, it is worth it, because it makes your life…

@Izkata: I completely disagree. Tab Candy (Panorama) has been a wonderful tool for organizing my 150-or so tabs. I used to use multiple windows, but every once and a while I'd shut down and I'd lose a whole window's worth of tabs. I've never had a problem with panorama doing that. Plus, it is actually more efficient…

@Error601: There's always a problem with noise when you do that. I'd compare it to "converting" a 2d movie to 3d. Most people don't care, but the rest of us fucking hate it.

I really appreciate that the flash is coming out of his thumb, not the flashbulb. And...it is blue? WTF?

@d0minick: It would be a different case if they showed someone doing something weird. This just seems to be furthering the governments position that cameras and photographers are evil and need to be watched. By putting the photographer in the image, the TSA will target photographers. The inclusion of the giant…

@englishman: no, they just add zeroes. Its like XXL, but reversed (000).

@d0minick: But it is the very definition of wrong that is under dispute. It ISN'T wrong to photograph anything in or on an airport, but that is precisely what the poster suggests. And it'll at the very least get the TSA swarming all over your back.

@scarbrtj: Miracles.

@FlyingAvocado: on camera flash is bollocks anyway.

That watch (pictured) should not cost $500
