It would probably be a lot faster if I didn't have so many filters and fonts installed - it seems to spend most of that load time loading them.

Yea, that's the problem I have with it. And it is frustrating since 90% of the times I load it I just want an image editor real quick.
I have to reinstall windows tonight, what with it crashing all the time (I fear my GPU fan is sticking again) so I will check a fresh install's load time later. 'Cause I'm real sad.

And welcome back Fero... All's well I guess?

There's a trick with Acrobat where if you hold the Shift key while it's opening it will load without loading any plugins.  I wonder if it works with Photoshop too?

EDIT: Nope.

I, too, am Gregory Benford.


and this should inspire Onstad to add a penquin character:

I'm Heinlein today. I am pretty sure I gave the same answers as yesterday but yesterday I was a writer I have never heard of - wrote about dystopias...Brunner?

It's a shame we probably won't get to see how Lazarus eats his teriyaki.

I just hope this doesn't turn into one of those fora where every single member has like 16 grapics in their sig all saying things like "You Are: Neo/Hulk Hogan/Boromir/Rygel" with a fancy graphic and quick paragraph. That would be sad.

[V-Adore]

I'm William Gibson. Not precisely what I expected, but hey.

On-topic: can Lazarus even eat? This is actually a pretty big paradox: what is the interest of a tasseled loafer in mass capitalism when a loafer cannot participate in consumption, the greatest duty and greatest reward of capitalism? Is it just an academic thing for Lazarus?!

... wow, pretentious.

I was about to link you to a discussion we had on the subject. But it was you who started it anyway, so I won't bother!

[Mite]

Another Benford. Maybe I should read this guy's work.

OK but can Asherdan PLEASE put that thing back in his sig so that this thread makes a TINY bit of sense?

I was a Polish man I'd not heard of, but the description was ok.

By any chance, were you Stanislaw Lem?  I mostly gave up reading SF, but there's always a warm spot in my heart for Lem (and Phillip K Dick, and a few others).

I am Hal Clement it seems, but then I wasn't very honest in my answeres (because the right ones were not available).  Never heard of him...

[Choop]

WHO?

[pmcd9]

Yet another Gregory Benford.  I've never heard of him.  This site isn't hosted by Gregorybenford.com by any chance is it?
