A photoshop developer named Chris Cox over at Adobe had this to say (Bugmenot Required) about the linux desktop, in response to a user’s request for a linux port:
Is the time approaching when Linux has standards for fonts, color management, printing, etc.?
What’s all this then?
Fonts: Freetype
Color Manaegment: OpenIcc
Printing: CUPS

Tuesday was the official Day Against DRM. I met up with a few people downtown at pike place market and handed out lots of stickers and flyers.
What kind of crap is this?
Fitzgibbons [the defending lawyer] said in July that plea negotiations had broken off because prosecutors insisted on prison time, which he said would be too dangerous for someone as attractive as Lafave.
I really hope that didn’t have anything to do with the judge’s desicion… would be a very sad day [...]
I will be giving an informal presentation with Andrew about Mono and Meshwork at Seattle Mind Camp next month.
Seattle Mind Camp is a self-organizing, digitally minded, entrepreneur-driven, overnight Seattle confab.

I ordered the unit online from the Sears website and selected to pick it up at the store near here. The site said that I would receive [...]
It was quite hot today. During lunch, we went down to the beach.
Alki Beach (Seattle, WA)
Does anyone know what these things are called? They were sticking up out of the sand all over. The (3) pictures are pretty bad, they looked like long worms or worm-like plants, or something.
When we got back to the [...]
The city had to do some sort of work on the power grid in our area today, so they shut off power form about 9:00am to 2:30pm. Before I left this morning I shut my server off so it could turn off properly.
When I got back home and turned the server back on it decided [...]
There seems to be a trend lately. Let’s ask someone for help and assume that they can both see our screen and read our mind!
Examples:
(21:39:47) Someone: for my site i can’t get mono to work as my handler for my site i put the handler line in the apache2.conf but it isn’t working
