Trust my rage

So in the land of torrenting, if I'm seeding 1 peer, does that mean if I turn it off, said peer will not longer be able to complete the file? I want to shut it down, but I feel this responsibility.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

If you shut it down, it'll find someone else. There's always another.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's always another.

Trust my rage

See, there's a few files i'm trying to get that I can't finish. I feel bad for this person who is depending on me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you!

I am trying to justify to my boss buying Adobe Creative Suite, instead of just illustrator and photoshop. the cost is only $11 different.

Also, does anyone know if there is anyway to convert Quark files to InDesign and vice versa.

We are buying Quark in our office, because our outside designers us this. As the "inside designer" (I do things like programs, tickets, quick ads, etc, while the other people do our brochures) I use InDesign. I like Indesign and feel that the reason I am more limited than the other diesgners is that I am working with no photoshop or illustrator.

ANYWAY, my boss wants me to be able to update and change their designs (which is a little iffy, morally) for a few years to come-- just changing dates, etc

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Quark -> ID is dead easy -- you can usually just open the file and it will convert (with a few caveats, as always). Going the other way, I don't know, but if you're going to be doing a lot of passing work back and forth and not just converting something once and for all, I recommend using the same package.

amych-- thank you. The thing is, I can't get them to open. Is that because my indesign is not the most current?

Oops, nevermind, she has a quark higher than 4.11.

Yeah, that's probably it -- she should be able to save in Quark 4 format, and then you're good to go.

The thing is, I think what we are really trying to do is take business away from her. That is, they want me to be able to update the dates for my paltry slary instread of paying her several hundred dollars. So I don't know how happy she will be to do that!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hate it when clients figure out how to do stuff themselves that we used to bill them for do for them....
