"Cubic" doesn't necessarily mean that it's the same cubic spline algorithm used in both Photoshop and Gimp. I don't know who uses what, but perhaps Photoshop uses more mathematically accurate form of cspline, whereas gimp uses not-so-smart type of third order polynomial binning algorithms.
Or maybe Photoshop applies a smoothing function to the output beforehand. A lot of difference can emerge based on different mathematical treatment of the raw image...
[This is why I'd prefer open source. So I know exactly what is being done to my image.]

PS. Whenever I resize an image,I first run highpass filter (sharpening), then resize, and then repeat sharpening & smoothing til I get some decent result.
200K? Probably all of it. This figure of the punitive damage is drastically underestimated. While this cracking incident was on-going, there were several disruption on front-end routers and switches that goes in and out of Goddard Space Flight Center. In turn this led to disruption of work by researchers and administrators while the problem was being looked at and fixed.
That said, NASA is seeking a punitive damage that is actually payable by the defendant.

ps. I was there while that hacking took place. Not involved in fixing the problem, though.
In simple terms, Mt. Saint Helen is experiencing a constipation of the decade. Magma is acting like severely dehydrated stool in your bowel (c.f., Mauna Loa is like having explosive diarrhea), trying to get out but the passage is either too narrow or the shit is too viscous to flow out smoothly. Then what follows is tremendous pressure from cumulating [volcanic] gas and bloating by unreleased feces [i.e., magma].
Then there will be two choices for Mt. St. Helen to make: either release the shit little by little (leading to minor eruptions and small quakes) or craptacular ejection of constipated feces out of the system once and for all. Imagine [or take my word for it...] that the newly forming dome is the piece of shit that begins to peek out of an a$$hole.
This is a perfect analogy that make sense to all. The lesson is that it all depends on what kind of stool you generate: soft or hard. Mauna Loa, for example, always generates chemically soft stool, whereas St. Helen tends to make hard ones. A long ago I was tutoring geophysics to "poets" and this was the only analogy that they found it easier to relate...(yeah, gross common frame of reference, you may say).

...the game industry starts making some crap based on Gigli movie.
Just my 2 cents here.
