  • It never struck me in the past, but Kenshin was putting away at half a brain all, “Yare yare, gozaru,” trying to recover from the PTSD of killing numerous people. He is trying to live this new life, and become the new person.

    When the past is dug up, be has a deep personality change. When Saito attacks, we see the real? old?Kenshin buried under all the layers of peace. Although we have seen the cracks in the past, I think this is the first time in the series that he seriously considered killing someone and thoroughly became his old self.

    I don’t know if it is intended, but Saitou’s first name is Hajime, or beginning. The character is supposedly based on a real person with the same name who served as the captain of the third unit of the Shinsengumi and later as a police officer.





  • I remember these being suggested to me as a newbie a long time ago.

    Please continue to learn! It’s great to bring new perspectives to play.

    I kind of answered this elsewhere in the thread, but here is my answer to you.

    If you are referring to basic OS level functions, they are super similar, but they are also wildly different.

    Ubuntu is based on Debian. It is centered on keyboard and mouse input, often with touchscreen. It uses a Canonical kernel.

    Android is its own flavor of Linux, entirely centered on touch input. It uses a heavily customized AOSP kernel.

    While I think it might be entirely possible to install and remove packages to have one act like the other, they have wildly different kernels.

    Here is a pretty lengthy write up on the subject by Richard Stallman.

  • Oh, I forgot about Chromebooks and ChromeOS. They are similar, but there are significant differences.

    ChromeOS is based on Gentoo. It is centered on keyboard and mouse input, often with touchscreen.

    Android is its own flavor of Linux, entirely centered on touch input.

    While I think it might be entirely possible to install and remove packages to have one act like the other, we are comparing a different Linux flavor against Android.

    Also, my answer is probably generic enough to answer OP.









  • That’s how I feel. I’m not a legal expert either. The caveat to this is that there is a disclaimer on the legal page where you are directed to the AGPL that says that you may not, “Use PDFCreator within an application or service that is not licensed under the terms of the AGPL.”

    I’m assuming using the software in a Windows environment is allowed as it is distributed as a Windows application. If you are using the software to accept print jobs to PDF in a manner configurable through the default UI without modifying the code or default files, I’m also hard pressed to call it a violation, regardless of the input application.

    I think that the concern from PDFForge is that we were asking for assistance with a feature, which crosses the line in any sort of professional setting.
