How do consumers benefit? No, really! by Enry
Both Bill Gates and John Ashcroft talked about how the decision benefits consumers. But there’s nothing really in the decision that changes the way MSFT does business. I can’t call IBM and get a discount on a system without Windows installed, if I load XP onto a machine, MSFT can take it over and install software without my permission, and the APIs can be buried in MSDN, forcing OSS software developers to not only subscribe to MSDN, but also follow whatever licensing MSDN forces on users.
For the most part, this is MSFT business as usual.

Using the technique described below for joining two images.
I went out and took 2 photos:
To create the following larger photo.
icable distortion where the two photos meet, I wasn’t very careful editing as this is more a proof of concept for myself than anything else.
The original xcf format photo is also available for download. (Warning, it’s over 900K!)

You may be required to produce a pay stub from your last job. Would you rather not (maybe because you fudged your salary history)? That might be grounds for automatic termination.

The employee manual, which lots of companies won’t give you until your first day, may require you to turn over all sales accounts (that you brought with you) to another sales rep. No? See ya later.

The Anglers Rest, River Lee. I spent a lot of time working on this. A power line stretched across the original photo which had to be cloned out. I also cloned out a pole in the field near the cows, and there were 2 houses on the tree line that didn’t fit in with the scene.
I had to adjust the blue of the sky seperately from the land and used a layer mask to do that.
