System build: A few Adobe-friendly pieces

It's time to build a new PC. 99% of my intensive PC time is spent in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. It's been three years since my last build, so I'm pretty out of the loop. The remaining parts I need to order are hdd, processor, motherboard, case, power supply, and ram. A little...

Buying a few PCs for a company

My brother-in-law's small business will be buying some PCs with the intent of mostly using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. No games, obviously. They will not be building their own (no time for the added research, and definitely can't waste a few days of billable hours building them)...

Javascript help needed

Yeah, that's sort of the problem... we have no access to SQL/MySQL or PHP for this client. My experience is in information architecture and design (yep, real boring crap), and I haven't touched javascript in nine years so I'm unfamiliar with the latest tricks and workarounds. Plus, half our...

Where to buy Photoshop?

Our company needs a license/CD set of Photoshop (and only Photoshop, no suites) for a designer. Should we just purchase Photoshop CS3 from Adobe.com? Also, can you even get CS2 legit at a place we won't have to worry about stiffing us over?

The IMDB Top 20

Haven't seen City of God. The Usual Suspects belongs nowhere near any of those, even the ones I don't particularly love (but still could see *why* they might be that high, i.e. Godfather). I just don't see why it's anywhere in the top 100.

Gabe Newell calls the PS3 a 'total disaster'

A challenge? Have you played Gears on Insane? I just don't know... for someone who has "both systems and all the best games," you sure have an elitist attitude toward the PS3 and the "challenge" that it allegedly offers.

Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines New patch v3.3

Good original Xbox games?

Of the above-mentioned, I'd give extra props to: Crimson Skies, Mercenaries (absolutely one of my favorites in a LONG time), Ninja Gaiden Black, Riddick (very pleasant surprise), and KotOR. Each totally unique from one another, so it should give you a good start.

Is atheism a religion?

There are too many accepted definitions of "religion" to really apply (or not apply) that word to it. I go by what the dictionary says, so unless some grand world order decides on one, strict definition, then there you have it. EDIT: BTW, I'm agnostic.

Bush drinking?

Every pro (and I'm sure many amateur) audio editing apps can easily do this in mere seconds. As long as you don't stretch it too much, the audio will sound more than adequate. Then just slip it into your favorite video editing program, stretch the video length, and resync the audio.

TALLADEGA NIGHTS.. WORST MOVIE OF THE YEAR..

Really, really, really boring movie. Barely even chuckled. Yet I'm not sure it was the WORST movie of the year, since there were a LOT of stinkers. My type of humor is more "Arrested Development" than "Will Ferrell," by the way. I've enjoyed some of his movie scenes and a few SNL bits (I...
