>Why do you need Fireworks for transparents GIFs? Export your index color pic from Photoshop as a GIF 87a/89a
Please don't criticize what you deem to be a 'simple' task.
If you wish the maximum output of gifs, with the minimum of trouble, then FireWorks is the tool. Just think how much trouble it takes in Photoshop (not much, but the time it takes is quite a bit more than f/w). Now try doing it on a regular basis....
I personally started using Microsoft Frontpage because I liked the WYSIWYG interface... I then moved on to the Corel product (sorry... can't remember it's name), and finally I became confident enough to use Dreamweaver.
I now use linux as my operating system, and any text editor to alter my HTML/PHP scripts. The only thing that I still have trouble with is the odd bit of Javascript, but I can get by.
Unless you are a complete starter, as I used to be, I can see no reason for using a product for generating your web pages. I like the flexability that I have editing the HTML by hand... not to mention the lack of wild quotes and loose 's that frontpage would often stick in there.
However, this is irrelecant to the question.
At work, the main tools used (except for the HTML) were illustrator, Photoshop, and Fireworks for the transparent gifs.
I fear that this idea is one that had been concocted by the usual politiciens that have no email address, yet alone used the internet. There are no sane reasons for just stopping people from registering domain names. For example, I own the, rather lame admittedly, atari.co.uk domain. I have a few hundred visitors a week, nothing much, *but* I do receive a fair amount of mail from strangers asking for help. If this domain was taken over by Hasbros (Who own the Atari trademark) then I doubt very much if this service would still be there. However, if the UN were going to put something through, I would like to see the general hoarding and unuse of domain names stopped. I've know several domain names which I could have made site with to be taken, and when looked up in the whois database, they have no DNS settings... no email then there.
Until this school year I went to a public school in which bullying and general putting-down was rife.
I was also into computing and music (as a subject) and I got a fair deal of harrassment for this from my 'fellow students'.
However, I never, ever, had any problems from my teachers. The closest I came to that was from the rugby master who criticised me for missing Rugby due to a music lesson.
My point it that so many of these comments, as far as I can tell, seem to state that the teachers are in on the act of bullying as well as any students.
I do not see how this situation could arise... it seems inherently wrong to me that in a society that is so focused on one's rights that this infringement of your human right to being accepted, not neccessarily liked, but accepted is abused by all.
When I had all my problems, I eventually grassed on some people, and lo and behold my problems went away... I was almost friends with one bloke who had been *REALLY* nasty to me...
... So I think that Katz is doing right... Speak out against those who put you down......it's true that those who put you down are just too thick to realise the error of their ways... so let's teach that too them... let the media accept that there are different types of people in this world...
To finish, a point to all those who hasseled me...Last summer I got a job that most people would be happy to have when they're fresh out of Uni, let alone halfway through college, it's so well paud that I can now afford to move out of home and support myself in a flat of like-minded friends... and all at the tender age of 17.

Oh *please*... whilst this may well be "News for Nerds", Slashdot is also "Stuff that matters".
Go out there, pick up a few books, and be enlightened.

Call me a complete lamer if you must, but what is a *nic hacker ? I've seen the term a few times...

Hey all,
