Google Project 10 to the 100

¢mindfuckx:iconmindfuckx: reports, September 25
"At Google, we don't believe we have the answers, but we do believe the answers are out there. Maybe in a lab, or a company, or a university -- but maybe not.

Maybe the answer that helps somebody is in your head, in something you've observed, some notion that you've been fiddling with, some small connection you've noticed, some old thing you have seen with new eyes.
If you have an idea that you believe would help somebody, we want to hear about it. We're looking for ideas that help as many people as possible, in any way, and we're committing the funding to launch them. You can submit your ideas and help vote on ideas from others. Final idea selections will be made by an advisory board."

Google will donate a $10 million sponsorship to the top 5 ideas.
So what are you still doing here ?

There are things Gimp can do that I don't really need. *Fondles Painter and PS*

On a positive note, if people need more convincing, it has pressure sensitivity support for WinTab driver-based tablets. It's a command-line option so it's not enabled by default. I forgot how to do it, but I've got it to work before and it works. Albeit too wonky for me...

Well, GIMP is free software. The only thing that anybody with morals should use?
