Actually servers can be configured to use ANY name as an index page, or get this... even more then one with priorities!
So you could specify "index.php index.html", for example, in the server configuration and it would look for the.php file first, and if not found look for the.html file.
As long as the server is configured correctly you do NOT need to specify the index document as it is added automatically by the server.;)
Um, except that your two layers are not stacked correctly at all, in one image the bridge is way, way off... and in the other the bay in the upper left isn't aligned either.
These satellite images are not perfectly aligned as the Earth and the satellites have moved between the images that were taken.
The images would be interesting to see, but right now the ones you've uploaded are somewhat useless.
Well, yes, it has to use non-grey colours as you are using sub-pixels. A sub-pixel can be red, green, or blue.
Now, if you have really large pixels on your LCD monitor I guess there could be an issue. My SGI panel is around 110 dpi, so unless I look REALLY close I don't see the sub-pixels.:)
Cleartype does not make the text slightly blurred, well unless you are using a CRT monitor I suppose, which it was NOT designed for.;)
The Cleartype system uses sub-pixel antialasing on LCD panels to increace the horizontal resolution threefold. This gives significantly *crisper* text when rendered onscreen.:)
CRT montiors do not have the ability to properly address sub-pixels, which is why Cleartype will not look that great... try it on an LCD and you won't want to turn it off.;)
Also, by your same argument, you shouldn't even enable normal antialising as it also makes text fuzzy, when really it makes it much easier to read then non-aliased text.:)
Note, sub-pixel rendering is not new, the Apple ][, Atari 8-Bits, C=64's and the like all used sub-pixel aliasing to generate extra "colours" in their highest resolution mode.;)
My SGI 1600SW is pretty hard to tip over, but as a safety measure I simply used a bracket to secure the cable to the wall...
So, if anyone (or the cat) bumps the monitor it is pretty much impossible for it to fall and get damaged.
Also, as I mentioned in another previous post I have travelled trans-atlantic three times, and 2000 miles on a bus with this monitor as carry on... with no damage whatsoever, try that with a 19" CRT.;)
I bought my SGI 1600SW (1600x1024 Native) around 5 years ago when living in the UK and I have not looked back since.:)
Not only that, but this is one heck of a robust monitor, having survived three trans-atlantic flights and one 2,000 mile bus ride in a carry-on bag!:D
I will never, ever, own another CRT monitor again, and since I my next computer system will be an Apple, I am looking forward to their 23" LCD with glee.;)
Actually, the 30" looks really, really nice, but I don't think I'd enjoy having to look left and right to see everything... but for a wall-mount display it would be fantastic I think!:)
Sorry, but a black light most certianly does produce ultraviolet light, along with a tiny bit of visible light from the very end of the spectrum before it shifts into ultra.
If you do a simple google search for "black light" you will find many sites about black light and every single one indicates they are ultraviolet.
There are two types of UV light, UVA and UVB. Black lights give off UVA, while the Sun gives off UVB, which is much more harmful.
A lot of what you have to say is quite valid, unfortunatly...
"6. A little rounding or making it a little edgier sometimes is all it is needed to make the customer feel that they have a good product. Just take a shape control and give it a curve of 15 make it White with a Black border and put it underneath a group of widgets and they will think it looks super cool."
That is from the late 80's early 90's UI design... never, ever, use a "shape" control to draw random shapes on a form, window, whatever, unless it's the widget designed to group other widgets.
Doing so will just make your application look like an uber-cheesy VB3 app... in my humble opinion.:)

The Memory Stick is not just Sony's property. A consortium of companies made the specification, it just happens Sony decided to go all out using them.
:)
There are 3rd party Memory Sticks available now that don't have Sony stamped on them.

Try looking at Suprnova or any of the other large trackers, there are a ton of .torrents using multi-trackers available.

Just because you can't find any does not mean they don't exist.
Yes, I'd tend to agree...

Running from +93.3C to -73.3C would probably kill me pretty darn quickly!

Did you miss the part about there being an estimaged 1,100,000 metric tons of the stuff on the moon?
:)
;)
If *only* the USA was using this source of fuel to power the nation there would be enough to last 44,000 YEARS.
By the time this becomes viable we could in all probability power the entire planet for a few thousand years...
If the technology behind He3 recactors works as theorised we will have viable and clean nuclear power.
Also, since our moon has tons of He3 lying around, imagine how much more is out there on the other moons of our solar system.
Also, how far do you think 25 tones of crude oil goes?
No, but isn't that an image of an inchworm?

I would imagine the price includes more then "just a hunk of rubber".

You know, things like research and development of an artificial fin for a dolphin... testing prototypes and rubber compounds.
Heck, they even tried a few before they found one Fuji (the dolphin in question) was able to successfully use.
I mean, it's not like they could just pop down to the local Bridgestone dealer, cut a hunk out of a tire and make a dolphin fin.
Yes, counting ALL the votes would be a great way to tally up an election to ensure the winner, well actually WON.

However, there is a small problem... see, the nice new "e-voting" machines have one fatal flaw... THERE IS NO PAPER TRAIL... period.
So, when you want to do a recount, you just have to *trust* the numbers the machine gives you are right.
Ah well, unless someone actually gets a clue expect to see many more presedintal appoint... erm, elections.
And yet, people continue to say that one person can't change anything or make a difference.

Except when Star Trek first aired there was no such thing as a "token minority". It may have helped spawn such a thing, however. :)

Trek is famous for many things, including non-American lead characters as well as the first inter-racial "kiss" on television.
I think the main problem with TORCHES on a spaceship is that in space you are somewhat limited in oxygen.
:)
And oxygen is something that fire consumes in great quantities... so it would be sort of stupid for a spacefaring race to use torches on their ships.
Well, unless they have some nifty device that can create oxygen out of thin air.
