I'll be honest I've never read his book but the 10,000 hours fits as an analogy to the hard work that one must put in to be an expert. Sure 10,000 hours isn't going to make you excellent but focused hard work can and most of the time does.

Well I think most of it is time, the whole 10,000 hours thing. Since we are talking about drawing take a look at MindCandyMan on conceptart.org (His journey sketchbook http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=870 ) Post of an exam

I had one college course with a custom edition and we still had the option of using the regular edition, (all the page numbers were the same the custom editions only difference was a lack of extra chapters that we weren't going to cover). T

I don't often print photos but when I do I usually use walmart or walgreens online service (though I've found walmart easier to get through). And this is because they offer the size of pictures I want like larger frames and stuff. I looked

I might have wrote a confusing comment accidentally. The don't use black pretty much comes into play in realism and other art with how people perceive the color black. It is more realistic to represent shadows and blacks with dark colors as

What I am confused about in this whole thing is because you are developing these patches and fixes and additions using the gpl code doesn't that mean that your patches cannot be released under the public domain as per the gpl because of how

My comment was going off your entire premise that using black was a nono because that is what you wrote. We could even see it in your website design because you chose to use a grey font color over black (because I'm guessing you are on a ma

I think he took the wrong message away from his art teacher as I was taught the same thing. But it was in regards to representing realistic things with paints. As he says shadows usually aren't truly black and painting with a dark blue as y

The problem for me isn't the package manager, ports is great in FreeBSD. The problem is FreeBSD doesn't keep up with modern hardware and you have to work very hard to get a laptop that works specifically with it.

It is because some shady sites were putting a lock icon as the favicon to make you think it was secured so the tab is the better place for them.

It is pretty easy to notice when your account is hellbanned now as you are also slowbanned and it makes the site virtually unusable (waiting many seconds to minutes for each page to load).

You can also get multiple cursors from the keyboard with ctrl+alt+(uparrow or downarrow) not the most convenient of keybindings but can be rebound if you look for "select_line" in the default keybindings. (Linux and Windows)

Actually dropbox and truecrypt work really well together, even with large truecrypt containers because of the way truecrypt updates its container on file changes.

That isn't exactly the same what he is saying is that for many of us we can't justify the $10 dollar plan enough to purchase dropbox but would purchase the $5 dollar plan at 25gb or 50gb or half the ten dollar plans size. This isn't to say

Probably have about 25 domains at a given time, only really renew about 10 or 15 the rest get bought for ideas through time and if I haven't done anything in a year with them they get tossed back into the pond. So ~$270 a year give or take.

He isn't speaking of reCAPTCHA but google's nearly impossible to read captchas that take way too much time to decipher. If you'd like to see it you can usually get it by putting in a bad password to a gmail account too many times (though I
