Upvotes if I had them - this is exactly what the difference blend mode does. You could even record the flatten/paste original/adjust blend mode/save as jpeg operation as an action run it on the folder of student images using the batch processor to produce a nice little set of comparison images all at once.
It's a bit of a funny one. Technically the onus is on them to prove that you're actually using it to watch TV; in the olden days there was this idea of the TV licensing bogey-man who'd drive round in a van and use fancy gadgets to detect which addresses were receiving TV signals. How they do it these days I'm not so sure, I guess anyone who's got any kind of cable service would get flagged pretty quickly. In my experience they just send you really annoying letters that get progressively more threatening, there's a database that you can add yourself to if you're sure you don't need one, but even then they send letters saying that someone will be round to 'check you out'. On the whole I think it's just a kind of policing by consent where most people would rather pay than have the headache of getting bothered about it and potentially found out.
The BBC does not receive money from the sale of TVs, and the license fee is not linked in any way to the sale of TVs. You do not need a license to buy a TV, and a TV does not (nor cannot) come with a license. The TV license is completely separate, annual thing that you buy for your property, to cover all the devices at your address, and is required only if you are watching live broadcasts at that address.
You can own as many TV's as you want, you can watch DVD's, play on a console, stand your drinks on them, all without a license, all perfectly legally. You only need a license if you are using your TV to watch a live broadcast.
Correct. For the sake of clarity - TV's don't come with licenses, nor do you need a license to buy a TV (you actually couldn't buy a TV with the license if you wanted to). A license is purchased for a property, and a single license covers every tv/device/person at that address. It's lasts for a year, and you can get it cheaper if you only watch in black and white:)
On the technical side you must have a license if you watch any kind of live broadcast, regardless of whether it's on the BBC or cable/Sky. One interesting thing to have come out of the world of on-demand catch-up is that if you only ever watch online after the fact, you actually don't need a license; you can watch whatever BBC content you like so long as it isn't a live stream.
From TFA: 'Nearly eighteen months ago, we gave developers guidance that they should not build client apps that mimic or reproduce the mainstream Twitter consumer client experience." And to reiterate what I wrote in my last post, that guidance continues to apply today.'
This language certainly goes beyond just discouraging 'bad' implementations.
Fun fact: under European extradition terms the country from which a suspect is originally extradited has to sign-off on any successive extraditions, so even if the Swedish were cosier with the US (which–-as you you point out-–isn't generally accepted to be the case) getting him there wouldn't make a US extradition any easier.
I suspect this is less about trying to get everyone using Facebook for their email and more about usurping any third party apps that will automatically sync with Facebook contacts (iOS 6 anyone?). All you're going to get now is a load of garbage contacts.
Agree that it's hard to see how this is going to be particularly useful, although presumably this is a first step towards eventually installing it on the trains themselves. I can see that being pretty useful/lucrative in the long-term.
Do you want to clarify that a little?...because if 'whatever purpose' really does imply whatever purpose then you seem to be suggesting that some women are 'actually after' getting raped. I thought we were past the 'she was asking for it' vein of apologism in relation to this sort of thing.
I'm sorry, but less and less unique how? Where are these products that are eroding their marketshare? For the idle home user, perhaps, but they've got the professional (read: people who actually pay for their software) sphere locked down tight. I'm no Adobe fanboy but like it or not you simply cannot do business in the design world without using Adobe products.
Goodbye Adobe? I must have missed all the articles recently where they announced their decision to mothball their industry-standard tools for image manipulation, post-production, print design, web-prototyping and image workflow.
Flash is a tiny part of what Abobe does, don't expect them to be going anywhere soon.
Next week on ask slashdot: 'I'm a long-term user of a forum on a domain that the owner is no longer interested in, I've offered to buy from him but instead he's told me he wants to keep it and offered to let me purchase a redirect to my servers instead. I was planning on investing quite a bit of time and money to build up the site and it's brand but I'm worried about him retaining control. Is this a good idea?'
...Well, there's no clean way to ensure the old owner will provide service for your forward to your satisfaction...etc.
Come on, everyone saying 'just keep the old domain' really isn't considering the implications of that for the interested buyer.

I was asked for a 'memorable date' the other day; I literally had nothing apart from my birthday, which seemed a little counterproductive.

It seems clear that windscreens will soon be replacing billboard advertisements with porn*. *Of course then porn will have to be made of this too.

It's Verizon Math! €0.2 per GB would be €1 for every 5GB (€200 TB). Not that we ever check submissions here on /.
Whooosh!

I'd go with the Salford credit card, but that's because I'm an elitist Londoner.

It comes to something when your paid-for corporate video pales in post-production value to some 15 year old's 'L33T Battlefield 3 sniper montage!!1'.

If your bank is using flash for account management you need to get a new bank.

And nothing of value was lost.
