  1. grammer gammer on Hubble's Exoplanet Pics Outshined by Keck's · · Score: 1

    "outshone" rather than "outshined" which does not yet exist even in Wesbsterland.

    I'm afraid it might be.

    Pay as you go would not distract me because I rarely go anywhere. But I am a heavy user (of Scotch mostly) and my Innernet sessions are infrequent but intense. I suppose I qualify as a "spike".

    Where I live (my euphemism for "hang around") football stadium pricing schemes are more expensive than the flat field village green approach.
    Like knowledge, a little Innernet is a dangerous thing.
    And it's always on because when I switch it off to save energy, and let somebody in Kansas keep their ice maker running, it won't come back on again gracefully.

    Let's not do something else, this is more fun!

  3. Re:6-bit colors make gradients look awful. on New 20" iMac Screens Show 98% Fewer Colors · · Score: 1

    I don't have a Photoshop near where I live but for some time I've been dithering about buying an apple. After reading all this I think I'll setle for some grapes. My local expert recommends the 8 pip variety (new from the growers) rather than the bog standard 6 pip type. Does anyone have experience of this?
