If you open it unlayered and add no layers, it should quietly save it unlayered.
If you open it unlayered and add no layers, it does quietly save it unlayered. As the grandparent said, it's a good thing that it doesn't just auto-flatten a layered image for you, especially when the format supports both layered and flattened images.
Opera has just become the second browser after Safari...
Second browser after Safari? Which was the first after Safari to do it? Oh, you mean the second browser, after Safari...It's amazing what commas can do. Learn to use them.
I saw a movie at a pizza restaurant/theatre in DC a while back.
That was probably the Arlington Cinema & Draft House. I've only seen a few movies there, but yes, it's very nice to have a hostess come to your table to offer you a pitcher of beer while you're sitting there watching a movie. Not to mention that since the tables are spaced fairly far apart, when people at one table decide to start chatting, it usually doesn't disturb the people at the next table.
In the article they say that customers will be able to download the movies and burn them to DVD. I don't imagine they'll let us download full DVD5 or DVD9 ISOs of the movies. More likely, it will be some highly compressed MPEG-4 variant, along with some Amazon-branded "preparation/conversion" app that outputs a burnable DVD5 or 9 ISO image. Even this sounds like it'd be a bit much for the average computer user to get a handle on. They'd better make sure this whole process is fairly idiot-proof or it's doomed to failure.
First, they're saying that developers can use the Revolution controller devkit with the GameCube devkit. Also, it's been mentioned several times in the past (no links handy) that the Revolution will in essence be an evolution of the GameCube hardware.
Let's see. First is the ridiculously high upfront cost for a device that even allows me to read an ebook (yes, I know about cheap PalmOS devices and Project Gutenberg--I'm talking about commercially available ebooks). Second is that DRM-laden ebooks typically cost the same or more than an equivalent dead-tree version. Third, I like being able to walk up to my bookshelf and grab a book to loan to a friend. Don't get me wrong, there are some things that I think ebooks are perfect for (namely, a reference library). But when points 1, 2, and 3 are taken into account, I'll continue purchasing the dead-tree variety.
I should have sacre.bl.eu up shortly. Other subdomains will be available for low, low rates. Surprisingly, EURid says that it's actually still available...
Quick question: Don't Apple & Microsoft have a very large technology cross-licensing agreement (part of the court settlement a few years back)? Naturally, the specifics are under seal, but it wouldn't surprise me if they had access to some of internal Windows APIs and directx APIs and specs. Just a thought...
Oh, I'm well aware of the difference. Remember that my post is coming at it from the angle of the average know-nothing computer user. They've probably never even heard the term 'cracker' before. They only know about 'hackers.'
Remember that to the average luser, anything made by Microsoft is top-notch. If it weren't, they wouldn't be in the position they're in market-wise. It's all those damn "hackers" out there that cause the problems, not Microsoft.
Au contraire. Taco says that grammatical errors are perfectly acceptable, and in fact give slashdot much of it's "flavor." To me this says that gross grammatical errors are actually encouraged, so as to give it even more flavor.
'The time has come for Google to step into line,' one analyst said.
Oh yeah. Talk like that would surely get me to listen to what they're telling me to do. Boohooohooo. The analysts can't manipulate the stock as easily as they want...

...the DOpE windowing system...
That's all I needed right there. I'm checking this out right now.
Ummm...Whoops?
Ummm, yeah. Cos InDesign has such high-end raster manipulation functions...Do you even have the slightest clue of what you speak?
I think I saw that movie...

you forgot AMD, Intel, IBM, Sun, Suse, Novell, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Nintendo, Sony, Blizzard...

So, is the rollerskating rink contained in a separate building, or is it in the basement or something?

Oh c'mon. Which is really more important? Your kids college fund? Or Batman Begins Again?

I don't even know where to begin with a comment like that... : /
...these guys are breaking into thousands of home and work PCs and taking them for a virtual joyride, often times all the way to the bank.
Great! Maybe he can reconcile my account balance while he's there.
As someone mentioned in a thread a few weeks ago, we need to have more 'Overlord' titles. You know the rest...

Parent post is critical of Google and Apple!
Well, it's good to see that some moderator wants to make slashdot as flavorful as possible.
