CS is expensive but i feel like its priced accordingly, what it enables you to do,and if you actually use its functionality the way it was intended and not just making memes and putting sunglasses on cat pictures, its definitely worth it
i just would rather spend my money elsewhere than on software #firstworldproblems i bought logic pro which was a $500 program when i was in music school, and i dont regret it but it took a lot of thinking to shell out that much for a bunch of 0s and 1s buying CS is like buying every park tool ever made, not just some of the tools. some people dont need all that, others do |
Today I downloaded a bunch of new tools for the shop. I'll have copies of them up on the RG site later.

Once the code is written, companies just pump out copy after copy, that literally cost them nothing, and sell the stuff.
I just wonder how much money actually went into producing the software. |

So should the first copy sold be really super expensive, and then they give it away to everyone else?

More or less. It costs a lot more to design, write, and test software than most users realize.

It's almost like when people say paying more than $200 for a bicycle is just stupid. people need to be paid.

I just bought tickets to go see Braid playing Frame And Canvas at The Metro. The show will be amazing.
|
I think I'm gonna go to the track tomorrow. First time back since the broken foot. I think I'm back to where I was, if not stronger.

Would the owner of a bike shop squawk at the idea of shelling out $300-$500 for tools that were absolutely crucial to getting his work done?
It's the same thing with design software. It's a toolbox, full of important tools. If you're not a professional(or going to be, or a student), then you probably don't need professional level tools and can just use GIMP for free. Adobe's $30/mo plan makes sense if you use 3 or more proggies. Our bookstore has PS CS5.5 for $129 |

it says "Maker Bot" "The Replicator" The Free Universal Construction Kit offers adapters between Lego, Duplo, Fischertechnik, Gears! Gears! Gears!, K’Nex, Krinkles (Bristle Blocks), Lincoln Logs, Tinkertoys, Zome, and Zoob. Our adapters can be downloaded from Thingiverse.com and other sharing sites as a set of 3D models in .STL format, suitable for reproduction by personal manufacturing devices like the Makerbot (an inexpensive, open-source 3D printer). |
Today I got in a fun 40 miles.
|
Today I am computer illiterate. :( I can't figure out how to run Sim Tower even though there seems to be lots of info on how to do it, even with Windows 7. sigh
|
Spent some quality time tearing apart a road bike. I really, really needed it.
|
Today I was slow.

|

dood, he rides fixed.
what do you expect? |
Today I embraced fall and removed the A/C units from the windows. Those *****es are heavy. Two minor injuries, not counting how sore my back is gonna be tomorrow.
Celebrating the completion of that chore with homemade chicken soup (I've been sick all week) and a Malört&Radler (I'm feeling better today). :) |
today I can get 7710 crankset/bb with a DA chainring for $350, or can get a new set of arms for $280. crankset is out of state so I can't examine them beforehand. wondering if it's worth the peace of mind to pay a lil' more
