  1. OT: JPEG Compression In These Articles by _Neurotic · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Am I the only one who is bothered in a major way when JPEG images are compressed to ridiculous levels and then posted to a website?

    Check out the pic of Colin Beaumont in the first article.

    Fro crying out loud people! Use some retraint with the compression slider!

  2. IMPORTANT NEWS! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    For anyone that does not know, evidentally aircraft have flown into the World Trade Center buildings in New York. I'm short on details right now myself, as all the news sites seem to be "slashdotted." This is nuts!

    This is not a troll! This is not one of those stupid "Stephen King Dead at 54" posts. THIS HAS REALLY HAPPENED!

    Maybe they should list Rebel.com on sale at Creabiz.com.

    The Web is crowded with websites that are no longer taken care of because of owners going out of business, or lacking revenue to maintain their site.

    Creabiz.com is bringing new perspectives to the web by offering companies or individuals the means to buy or sell existing web sites, and take advantage of the rising opportunities in the current market.

    The Rebel.com owners might be able to get some money back with this site.
