1. Set your local network up as a "metered connection". This will prevent Windows automatically downloading updates over it. Instead it will notify you that they are available and you can manually click the download button. This improves other apps too.
Too bad they didn't have this option on Windows 7 when it downloaded Windows 10 without asking. I know people with cellular Internet as their only source and they hit their caps.
My understanding is that the images of characters cannot be copyrighted, only the name of the font.
You'd be a bit wrong. The name can be trademarked. A font is computer code / instructions and that is copyrighted the same as any software. The images it produces are not protected by copyright. Just like Adobe doesn't own any drawing I make in Photoshop.
Those professional software tools you mention both have periodic updates and customer support. Those things have ongoing costs.
And you used to be able to buy those with a one-time purchase, too. Don't give font-makers any ideas. I want to buy a new version of Photoshop, but I can't without a perpetual subscription. I'm stuck on CS 5.5 forever unless I give in on my principles.
Take as an example Arial vs. Helvetica. Can you even tell them apart? I can, but only if I look at tiny details I know to look for. If I glance at them, I must say they are basically identical.
Or, increase the separation of gaps and the size of holes, like Clearview, and you still get the recognition at a distance. The problem with serifs is that they fill in some of the white space that can help separate the letters from each other.
Helvetica is great (have seen it), but has the same shortcomings as the font they're switching back to. Clearview is a font specifically designed to be readable from a greater distance. If you look at the lowercase "e" or "a", what it specifically does is enlarge the holes and gaps so that they are more distinguishable even when out of focus. And when you're right at the limits, distancewise, of your vision, you are better able to distinguish one similar letter from another and read the sign that much sooner.
For not having watched television for 3 decades, you seem to be able to practically quote The Simpsons:
We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
There are a lot more considerations. For one, you can start with an existing library for TIFF. Overall file size is smaller as you can use JPEG compression for photos and LZW, RLE or CCITT for B&W text (not that they had mixed compression - nobody seems to use that).
Also, TIFF is already the standard storage format for document imaging. This is likely the format their archives were already in.
My subthread was about this tracking being better (or at least unnoticeable) if performed asynchronously to the main program thread (it works offline just fine). They likely use the word cache (or cash) when they meant buffer. And changing the outgoing data is just going to cause an error response from Apple and still put the app on hold . Why not just block the request or simulate a dead connection (airplane mode) instead? There's no point interpreting his post, it's worse technobabble than you'd find in an episode of CSI: Cyber.

This is hilarious. Love the chkdsk recommendation, but not as much as safe mode where Bluetooth would be disabled anyway.
To be fair, their current mice don't even have a left-click button. Just guess where you think the button should be and press.
Windows 10 will run Windows 7 drivers. Just install the Windows 7 driver manually. Why are you using Windows' built-in driver support?

DOCSIS 3.1 supports up to 10Gbps/1Gbps....and I'm sure they're not using that.
I thought A4 = 4 cores, A8 = 8 cores. I guess they're getting rid of that in favor of bigger numbers because marketing reasons?
"intern approval" of Clearview
The font was doing a temporary trial job, but not as an intern.

Arial was created by Microsoft as a clone of Helvetica to save some money on licensing.
So that's no surprise.
It's an alternative font. Nobody was required to switch to it in the first place. So this new rule has nothing to do with saving money.
They're not requiring replacement. So anyone who hates the old font will be waiting as long as possible to replace signs.

It's worse than it sounds. I watched the first episode and laughed. It has worse technobabble than regular CSI's "GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP"... By far.
I get it. My joke wasn't funny. I read the poem before posting.
Usually when one part fails, the whole phone is useless. It's effectively the same thing.
US misspelling at one time. Contemporary spelling of the word preserves the original French. E.g., Chaise lounge
One-Horse Chaise
Apparently, you can use a bit of SVG magic to use a PNG for an alpha mask on a JPEG: http://peterhrynkow.com/how-to...

"Managing" the list isn't needed.
Never said that it was. Just saying that this fact wouldn't be brought up if it was APK doing the submission.

TIFF is ideal for black and white scans. There are multiple compression options and it contains DPI/dimension information.
What's your argument for TGA?
