actually go onto any popular IRC channel, and I bet you get about 4 dcc requests for pictures called "my-porn-picture.JPG.vbs" with lots of spaces so that the final extension doesn't appear in the window. Of course if you then open it in Windows by double clicking, the script is run and you've got yourself a friendly virus.
How can one be sure that they're not just moving the same aircraft around the place, so they look like they're chopping up lots of aircraft, when in fact it's just the same 20 aircraft..
Bloody hope so. Maybe if we're really lucky he'll release it with that small boy too, although he was quite essential to the overall plot, if not the plot of the film.
Can you tell I didn't like it? The big lightsabre duel was well cool though.
That wasn't what happened. Someone forged something nasty from Laurence Godfrey, Laurence Godfrey complained to demon (the ISP whose servers he read the post on), asking them for it to be removed as it was a fake. Demon didn't remove it, so they were aware of the post, so were responsible for it.
A lot more people take notice of an advert than read a book. Plus when something is done as succintly as "Idon'tneedmytoothpastedelivered.com" it's a bit boring to stretch it out into a 300page book.
Although by the looks of things Andre the Giant still has a posse.
Basically ASCAP wasn't giving artists royalities from public performances of the artists songs (radioplay etc), and so BMI was made to give the artists those royalities.
I guess it was resolved when ASCAP saw people were moving to BMI and started doing the same.

As the psd format plugin is a standard plugin that comes with every gimp installation, I'd say that it's natively supported. I don't think any image format is built in, with the exception of the gimps one.
But yes, the reason its not used in the industry isn't because it sucks, but because it's not a Windows program
It's pretty well accepted that the GIMP is only as good as photoshop when it comes to doing web graphics, although that is being changed (afaik there's some cmyk work being done, and some fancy project I've seen (but can't remember what it did))
I do contend with your first point though. Why does support in the industry mean that the program isn't good?
gnome-canvas is the correct place to do it. The only reason people want to have xserver alpha, is so fancy effects like win2k's fading menus, or Aqua's see-through dialogs can be done.
The way to do alpha is to work out what is below the place where you want to draw the png, and combine the two. Mozilla knows what is below the png, it knows the png, it can trivally(*&**) put the 2 things together for alpha.
Depending on X for alpha support seems more platform dependant than Mozilla doing it itself.

Some other comments...could they have made a more hideous site? I think it took 4 pages before you actually got to the front page of the site.
I don't really think Apple has anything to worry about, with people buying them cos they think they're iMacs.
Why?
No-one will buy them, they're hideous!

It's even got the elite radar thing.
I must buy this ASAP
What relevance do any of these tidbits have to the article? Sweet FA, execpt they're about the same guy.
It's gossip. It adds nothing to the story, or to whether mafiaboy exists or not.
Greedy.
Not evil.
If man is inherently greedy, and has full freedom, then he will abuse that freedom, to satisfy the greed.
I will put more faith in my fellow man, when my fellow man gives me a reason to do so.
Dude, anarchy won't work either.
Anarchy is based on the same pretense as socialism, and we all know how well that one turned out in practice.
That pretense is that man is not inherently greedy, and the success of capitalism shows how wrong this is.
Yes, we need a revolution.
No, anarchy isn't going to do it for us.
Apparently the Gnome clone of scrabble got a nasty letter saying "stop it."
DAmn, you are soooo right.

Now the question is...

Makes you think
or not.
"wherein Darth Vader is forgiven all his sins, because he saved the life of his own son."
Is it not more that he renounced the evil that had controlled his life, thereby being forgiven of all sins.
Sounds like another Christian idea George Lucas has pinched...
Still I agree with the rest of the comments (or can't think of anything against them)

damn...
Bloody hope so.

Quite clear cut I think
Apple.
Then once we get them out of the way, we're sort of stuck....Be?
Maybe they attached the virus when you click that link, and BOOM!
just out of interest...what is so special about the panels in that shot?

how do they not know what is under the place the image is to go? They drew the bloody thing in the first place.

imlib is irrelevant in this.
