  2. Re:flamebate? on Paul Allen's Microsoft Experience · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Exactly.. Do you live better with $100 Billion while still working at microsoft, or with $14 Billion being retired? For that matter, Does anything over a few hundred million do much for you?

    Upload an image and select animation -> Glitterize You could also just write out stuff with the text tool.

    There is a tutorial on making a glitter heart here:

  5. More details? on MS Gives 60-Day Deadline to Web Devs · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Does anyone have more details on what exactly has to be changed?

    Some people are saying it's going to change everything (flash, movies, some JS, etc) while others say that no one will notice the difference.

    What's the difference, and what do developers have to do for there to be no difference?

  6. Re:What now? on Warmer Oceans linked to Stronger Hurricanes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, maybe we shouldn't be covering the skys with vapor trails from jets. Put less up there, and less would have to come down.

    Hasn't Apple already licensed AAC to at least 4 other music player makers?

    Here is the list of compatible players: http://searchdocs.info.apple.com/article.html?artn um=75451&coll=ap

    That's not true either. There are some Rio models and some Sony models that play itunes music. http://searchdocs.info.apple.com/article.html?artn um=75451&coll=ap

    You pay for placement in those places... so yeah, they would. What isn't said is that PriceRitePhoto changed their name to Barclayphoto. You can see their ebay username change here

  10. Re:Photoshop Not! on The Definitive Guide to ImageMagick · · Score: 1

    It can do many things that you don't see here. It's up to someone to create an application that uses the power of imagemagick. The best I've seen so far is a web based image editor http://blibs.com/

    it might be the quality setting for the output file. What are you outputing in? jpg? 100% quality?

  12. Re:ImageMagick is good stuff. on The Definitive Guide to ImageMagick · · Score: 1

    Antony's examples are great, you can learn a lot about image processing. I do wish it at more of the "artistic filters" that photo shop and other have. (I'm pretty sure they are possible w/ the tools, they are just heavy in the fx commands.

  13. Re:Move along, nothing to see here on The Latest iPod Assassination Attempt · · Score: 1
    It certainly has to do something way better (keeping on track on the other 2, and being similar with ease of use, battery life, etc). I'd say one of these three:

    1. Significantly smaller (nope)
    2. Much less expensive (nope)
    3. Much higher capacity (nope)

    This one just tried to match the nano, but, doesn't quite have the same sleekness. So, it's dead in the water for me. O

  14. Re:Let the market correct this absurdity on AOL Won't Budge on Email Tax · · Score: 1
    here here. As I've said in my other post, I won't be allowing aol.com email signups on my site.

    People will just have to use other accounts if they want email.

  15. Re:No AOL email addresses allowed. on AOL Won't Budge on Email Tax · · Score: 1
    Yes, they have told me they will be charging for "bulk" mailers. They have already categorized the site that way. (It's a high volume site, but it is not a spammer)

    My guess is that they will continue to lower the threshold for what they categorize as bulk mailer.

  16. No AOL email addresses allowed. on AOL Won't Budge on Email Tax · · Score: 4, Insightful
    You will start seeing that more and more on webpage signup forms. If you have an AOL email account, expect your internet world to get smaller.

    I have already started adding it to signup forms on my site (forums that require email activation for example). There is no way I'm paying to send emails to new users.

    Of course, this could end up with AOL users having to PAY for signups on things like email lists and other subscriptions, that would otherwise be free.

  17. No one read the article. Not keyless on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 1
    This is not a keyless solution. It doesn't open by YOU knocking on the door. You carry around a big pinpad with a knocker ('KnocKey') that produces a knocking code. "only when the correct code had been entered the device will produce the knocking sounds." I guess it's sorta interesting because the key transmits via knocking, but it's hardly a set forward.

    This is about the clunkiest system I've ever seen. Keycards would be much easier.

  18. Re:Antitrust on Is Apple Looking to Buy Disney? · · Score: 1

    That's exactly how it works, except you just pay for your vote by buying something. If no one bought windows or ipods, neither ms nor apple would have a monopoly.

  19. Re:I'm not sure tiered Internet is a bad thing on Video Usage Creates Traffic Jam Worries · · Score: 1
    First, people don't want to have to watch how much they download. When you start metering the account, that's what you do. That will never fly (unless you give them some super huge about in the TB range.

    On the server side of things, I pay for metered bandwith, which I monitor daily. However, I pay about $100 for 2TB of transfer at 100Mbs, and that's with a server. That's approximately 6Mbs constant for the entire month. I don't think most people have any idea of how much (little) they download.

  20. Please don't use the drag and drop on Yahoo! Releases OSS Ajax and Design Tools · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It breaks things on webpages and is really pissing me of on their my.yahoo.com site. If you don't need to drag and drop things, why have them? If you don't need to open a page in a new window, why do it? I'm starting to really hate some of this AJAX stuff.

    They don't have to manually review them. They can take the list of spyware sites and ban them from adsense. They could also put a complaint button near the ads in their search results.

    Like rain on your wedding day? No, it's not freaking "ironic" it's coincidental. (Don't you want Futurama enough to learn the proper meaning?) Honestly, I think I see "ironic" used more incorrectly than correctly!

  25. Re:That's a start.. on Advertisers May Face Ridicule For Adware · · Score: 1

    It's not the results that I have a problem with. All us geeks know to look only at the results. It's the money machine from that ADS on these pages that Google is deceptively making money by scamming helpless internet users.
