Nevermind, since it's so close to talk-like-a-pirate day I just illegally downloaded a pirated copy of Adobe Illustrator CS4 and figured it out myself since I have nothing better to do at 3:42am on a Thursday morning.

Oh, and since I mentioned it in the headline...

so true

Arrrgh, matey!

I have some gifts on my computer as well. LOL!

Hey, pirate,

Some of us don't like that word.

and here's why....

Sorry, I didn't create the meme, and if you take offense at a non-offensive term, I apologize again.

this is disturbing in so many ways... I don't see how this belongs here

We don't condone pirating software, and the image posted has absolutely nothing to do with photoshop or graphic design.

Because of that, I'm locking the thread.



On a more personal note...

The term, when used in the proper manner (ie. regarding a person who is mentally retarded), is not offensive. When used outside of a medical aspect, it can be considered offensive. My brother has developmental delays. When someone calls him a "retard" I take offense. When someone uses the term "retarded" to describe something I take offense.

Using a medical problem in a derogatory manner is offensive, and will not be tolerated even if it's not directed at a member. When new people come to the site, and see things like that, they may not come back.
