    You don't need to be a computer genius to be aware of basic password security. Especially if you work in government, where such things ought to be made abundantly clear.

    The UK categorically does NOT have the right to freedom of speech.

    The UN Declaration of Human Rights, anyone?

    And in the UK you do NOT have the right to remain silent, since remaining silent can be construed as an admission of guilt in UK law.

    Which is why all criminals are told "you do not have to say anything"? I'll concede, silence can be deemed as incriminating, but is not enough to be considered "admission of guilt". Although, I seem to recall that there are different rules for fraud investigations.

    Being modded funny doesn't mean they didn't believe you - true things can be funny too, although perhaps this is only funny in a "well, you've gotta laugh or you'd cry" kind of way.

    Good point - not a situation I've encountered as I don't work with text a great deal.

    Of the two options you suggest, it would depend on the desired effect. I think the first would be better if I wanted the text within the image and the second option if the text was intended to be placed over the image.

  18. Re:I just got 2.4! on GIMP 2.6 Released · · Score: 1

    Rather than consider it a workaround, I do this as a matter of course. I find it makes fine detailing easier, and I can archive the high res image - that way, if I ever decide I want a larger version (and I do), I don't end up having to choose between redoing the work or relying on interpolation.

    One thing i do find worrying is the fact that you compare sex tapes and nuclear bomb activation codes as being as equally important as each other.

    Well at least if the codes fall into the wrong hands, the tapes will distract them before they set off the bomb.
