Defend them with actual arguments, I dare you. Do you have any research to share?

No, "THAT'S FUD" is not an actual argument. These guise have a long and distinguished track record of doing exactly this, so we know exactly what will happen, making the fear well-founded and dispelling the other two.

Oh, boy! If only they had this waaaay back in the 1940's. World War II could have been ended even sooner. And without the Atom Bomb (yes, all it takes is *one* atom, just one and ...).

Nice to know that cooking up a steganographic codeswarm is anything like a new idea. At least in science mags and patent law.

Biologically, or at least medically, that sounds a lot like Idiopathic Polydiarroeic Bostercariosis. Of the slightly purulent variety. It's not like ... well, never mind.

Maybe their real message is in their purported medium? Hidden in the mass of sheets on the line, wildly flapping in the wind? Right beside the herd of stampeding unicorns. Ridden by unseen gorillas. That are really actors in gorilla-suits.

Practically unbreakable.

Exactly, seems we (professionals who know what a GIF actually is and isn't) are the wrong crowd for this one.

These are the kinds of things teens are doing: http://www.gifbin.com/ They can set up 4chan threads with 4000 inefficient GIF video clips loading on the fly when you open them. Some phones will even automatically display animated GIF sent in text messages so they get a video text for the price of a picture txt.

It is an aweful abuse of the GIF. Anyone who remembers that these things load a separate image for each frame and remembers having to trash their overly cool animated GIFs in dial-up days knows that high speed links are just hiding a hog. But w/e, it does seem there is a crowd who has resurrected the GIF.

Everybody knows that only white people can be racist. Derp!

Oh, and to GGP:

But it doesn't matter what argument I give; you'll call me racist anyway.

How EXACTLY is that a troll? you see THIS, this right here, is what has been bugging the shit out of me lately with regards to science, the fact that certain ideas or studies are not allowed because they aren't PC or go against dogma. I thought dogma was the place of religion not science?

In science there should be NO theory that is taboo, none. They should be able to come up with a theory, test it, present their findings and either the scientific community runs further studies that finds those results invalid, inconclusive, or if they are correct then studies should be done to find out WHY those results are the way they are.

I always thought this is how we progress folks. if someone does studies that conclude blacks have lower IQ or there are faults in the AGW theory or whatever they should be treated no different than any other scientist presently conclusions. the community should do further studies to prove or disprove their findings and then we go from there. If it were me and it was shown blacks had consistently lower scores in IQ tests I'd personally want to know WHY that is instead of screaming or playing the racism card which gets us nowhere. I'd instead be asking questions like "Is it the diet? environmental causes? Is it the discouragement of education by certain sections of the black community bringing scores down for the whole?".

But instead we just get the race card and PC bullshit like instead of teaching the uneducated how to speak correctly claiming Ebonics is a legitimate language. sadly the last lines in this this song seems to be the way we are going, with everything sacrificed on the alter of PC. Kinda sad if you ask me that questions can't be asked without screams and pulling the race card even in the scientific community at the start of the 21st century.

Only explanation is it's MS Enterprise 5.7 and user preferences are the great new groundbreaking feature in MS Enterprise 6... expected any decade now.

Michael really does "love" KITT

You mean like this?
