Though with the choice of oil painting comes the lovely effects that all those pigments have on the system.. Blindness, liver damage, insanity.. Lot's of fun!

If you go to the Type Dvorak Now page you can see it's titled "TYPE DVOARK NOW!"
I'm a fan of Dvorak, but on an advocacy page for a method of typing which is supposedly faster and more Accurate, having obvious misspellings is funny.
Cute 'Zine though.
~elmlish~
I'm going to have to agree. if all you want to do make 3d models with no animations or textures, Wings3d has one of the best, easiest, intuitive interfaces for pushing vertices around. i really really like it.
I came from using maya and occasionally, 3ds mx professionally while experimenting with most everything else I could get my hands on. I've played with Carrara and It's cheap($399US) and offers you a lot but it's polygonal modeling capabilites are lacking my opinion...
Try Wings3d You'll love it.
Other than that, if you have bucks, use maya.. It's dope.
I can't use.png's because the various browser don't interpret their colors reliably. Say for instance I have a png of a particular hex value on top of a background with that same hex value. the.png and the background will look wildly different. This on Netscape7, Mozilla(latest), IE, Opera, and Omniweb on both Windows 2000 and Mac OSX.
I would love to use.png's but nobody does them correctly and so I'm stuck with.gif's or.jpg's.
I'd agree with you that stealing is indeed illegal and copying songs off of an album that you haven't paid for doesn't fit under the fair use provision.
However, I do believe that it is my right to take all of my cds and make them playable on my computer i.e. mp3s. As far as I know this would fall under fair use. The problem is the very old problem of a legitimate tool being used (very often) for illicit purposes. The RIAA seems to want to rule out all possibility of a criminal act being carried out. This goes to far. It would be the same as if the city of Seattle decided to cut off everyone's legs in order to stop people from Jaywalking. "If they haven't any legs, they can't Jaywalk!"
