  4. Re:Yeah, great on Washingtonpost.com Wants Identities of Posters · · Score: 5, Informative

    he's not wanting just registration, he's after complete identification of the person, so that you can't just keep registering new names, something that shouldn't happen, since the only way to do it would basically require people to have a license to use the internet (or at least post on it). [note that this doesn't really require a license, but registration with a central authority where you'd give some kind of personally identifying information, which as we know could NEVER be abused].

  7. Re:Jam Tomorrow on First Looks at The Gimp 2.5 · · Score: 5, Informative

    To take myself as an example I take photos with a digital camera that gives me RAW files. Those are 12-bit files, which means 4096 colors per pixel rather than the 256 you get with 8 bit. just to be pedantic, i doubt you're raw files are actually 12bit per pixel, its most probably 12bit per channel per pixel (and in the case of the gimp it was a maximum of 8bit per channel per pixel). this gives you 12bits * 3 channels (assuming RGB here) per pixel, so its a 2^36 colors (68,719,476,736 ) instead of 2^24 colors (16,777,216). still a dramatic change, but i just figured it'd be nice to have the complete numbers there :)

    If it moves, oil it. If it doesn't move, hit it with a hammer 'til it does move, then oil it. that should be if its supposed to move, otherwise you stick on as much duct tape as possible until it doesn't move.
