  4. Re:Gamma on Scaling Algorithm Bug In Gimp, Photoshop, Others · · Score: 1

    All I know is that you actually need to remove any gamma information from a PNG file in order to display them correctly in most browsers. Otherwise, they're too dark on some configurations and too light on others.

  5. Monitor gamma? on Scaling Algorithm Bug In Gimp, Photoshop, Others · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To display the pictures, it makes sense to use the monitor gamma. But to actually modify the data using that information which is probably flawed in 99.9999999% of cases? That's just wrong.

    Remember, if you're positing on the web and not targeting a specific part of the world, you better be ready to comply with laws all over the world.

    If you comply with laws from all over the world then you can't post anything online.

    Those aren't award winning films.

    Forget virus/rootkit scans. Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

    Frankly, when my browser locks up, guess what program is almost always to blame? Adobe Reader. What a piece of crap.

    I'm sorry, but it's totally untrue! When your browser locks up, it's probably Adobe Flash which is to bla... oh wait, never mind.

    My router is an Apple Airport Extreme, and it says 10/100/1000 right here on the box.

    So, 10/100 = 0.1 mbps / 1000 = 0.0001 mbps, or 12.5 bytes per second! ...

    Oh wait...

    Since Mac OS X has built-in support to read and write PDFs, who installs Adobe Reader on a Mac?!

    Anyone know how am I supposed to connect this Ion2 chip to my ATtiny85? Is it with duct tape or crazy glue?
