It's not intended to stop fraud, it's intended to (best case) help catch the terrorists, or (worst case) make it look like they are trying to catch the terrorists.
Nevermind that simply not doing what pisses the terrorist-inclined populations would be a cheaper and safer path.
I imagine the "cheating" aspect of using a PSD file is that you are working with a lossless image. There's no JPEG/MPEG compression going on etc. Working with another lossless format like BMP, or PNG, would probably work just as well.
Oh, and I don't (intend) to mean that as "your stupid." - I mean to say that executive positions aren't easy, you can't really be stupid and succeed at that.
Basically you called me. But a later reply from me indeed invalidated this concern... there's no reason one of those metal roll-up rails can't be installed above the tubes. Or something similar. The parent assumes the tubes will be mounted naked - which would be absurd.
I'm sure you could mount something up there like what they use to close some shop doors/windows - like Venetian blinds but made of metal. Flip a switch and a motor deploys the shield. Flip the switch back and it retracts the shield. Or, you could do it the old fashioned way of a chain-pulley system.

No. I'll play the part of a fool, and reply to a troll as above. But I will not become one completely and humor you further.
You missed 'mug' - I actually think that would make an interesting name for a language (or a project at least...).
Commence Project Mug!
dieing. dieing. Dieing. DIEING!
Are your eyes damaged yet? No?
DIEING! DIEING! DIEING!
How about now? Good! No more spelling trolls for you. Hard to check spelling when you can't see.

Did I make it clear how much of a fool you are making yourself look?
This gets posted verbatim to just about every story. It's trash, the poster probably doesn't even look for replies.
They could at least vary it a bit, now not only is it stupid, it's stale.
It's like the improbability drive, although I call this one the incapability drive.
Wow, you can read my age, gender, address, etc with javascript?
There's a build option that will parse the old config, and only prompt you for new/changed options.
I forget the specifics.
This has not been funny for a REALLY LONG TIME.
We can, jackass. There's not always a point.
He still links to his blog. But, he links to the articles themselves as well in the summary text.
I admit I was playing on the meme. If you check my history, you'll find out I usually abstain (or at least do so anonymously)

Damn, I thought Slashcode Bug 2135487 was too good to be true.
Ayuda! Mis oÃdos estÃn sangrando profusamente!

I'll raise your bet double that you couldn't do the VP's job better.
Yes, because that works so well.
1. I'll never get caught
2. That will never happen to me
quit reposting the same shit, jackass
The 'story' is a type tag, it's not user supplied.

I loved Quake 2. Sonic Mayhem (the guys who did all but the NIN track) did that.
I bet you would win that one. But I'm sure they would find a loophole to get you with eventually.
We have a mars program because an idiot president thought it might get him a positive news story and maybe a vote or two.
You know, the same could be said for the moon landing missions. But those turned out to be quite worth the price, no?
