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

I think that if a PDF is entirely text and other vector-based elements, then it is resolution independent

Can't say. All I know is mine are not, and switching it helped.

Your tag here.

Somewhere in Bitches or Natter ita asked what is Web 2.0. This may be of use [link] ; there's lots of words at least.

Web 2.0 reminds me of the two-tiered internet that some ISPs are starting to implement. For example, if an ISP offers a VOIP service, they may block access to competing technologies like Skype. Or they may charge some websites for priority routing/bandwidth to their sites. Or a search engine could pay for exclusive web search rights on the ISP's network and all other search engines would be blocked.

Here's a [link] .

Based on that article and the others I've read, Web 2.0 is bullshit branding.

If I only had a brain...

Nope. It's Really Vital Stuff.

Web 1.0: Boring, unhip, tired.
Web 2.0: Exciting, hip, wired.

Now pay me lots of money to tell you which is which!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It sounds a lot like 1998 all over again.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

# If I get InDesign, will I miss Quark?
What version of Quark? They are different still but getting less so in terms of functionality.

PDFs rasterize pretty much anything which is how the images and fonts and things can be platform and machine independent.

Whatever the newest one is. I'm wanting to decide whether I need to buy Quark, or if InDesign will satisfy my needs.

PDFs rasterize pretty much anything which is how the images and fonts and things can be platform and machine independent.

The govt. forms I opened in Photoshop were definitely not rasterized. Photoshop prompted me for what resolution I wanted and they looked sharp even if I chose one that was very high.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am reading InDesign as NoiseDesign.

Someone is wondering if he would get them over the bartender on Deep Space Nine and Jon and his new wife should have a chat about his needs.

Oh dear, Jonny Spaceman had the fling with the bartender.

I don't judge.
