File -> New, 800x600, fill with background colour (white). Make a new layer, fill it horizontally using a black-to-transparent gradient, then duplicate that transparent layer one or two times.
1. Install XP Home on 1 PC, Linux on any others 2. Replace the bootsplash on the one XP PC with the one from XP Pro 3. Waste auditors' time with your 100% fake XP Professional 4. Sell unused discounted XP Pro for full price 5. Profit!!! (optional 6. Piss them off even more when they return by removing that last windows install)
Unfortunately this causes problems with domains & cookies. A cookie set by foo.domain.com is invisible to domain.com [...] I think that's fixable, if the spec is correct:
* A Set-Cookie from request-host x.foo.com for Domain=.foo.com would be accepted.
Seems like prepending a dot should make it magically work, but then again the browser makers have all sorts of wacky security rules so it might not...
One of the first sites I made about 5 years ago used a colour scheme based on #7ab and somehow it stuck....I wish I'd picked an easier to remember hex code now:(
Although I expect most of the complainers have never actually written a line of open source code. In that case I'm part of the minority. I've got plenty of reason to despise Microsoft -- I write web apps.
Depends where you live. I'm still paying £30/mo for 2Mb DSL, the best service the monopoly in my area offers (the exchange is 30 seconds walking distance away).
I wonder what happened to Sony's amazing original motion-sensing control system... it's got 3 times as many axes as a mouse so it _must_ be 3 times as good, right?!
Do they realize that without this update, Windows Update *definitely* wouldn't work It's been working fine for the past 5 years. Or are you saying it's always been broken?
So, despite Google fufilling their obligations to respond to DMCA takedown notices, they're supposed to be doing more? What, do you want them to read your fscking mind or something?
I've forgiven them time and time again for screwing up.
First it was the MNG/JNG farce - you have to see this for yourself to believe it. 5 years (!!) of making up bullshit excuses later they dump an inferior, crippled "replacement" format in the browser to force everyone to give up. I won't comment on their side project to make a faster, smaller, less bloated browser... you can all see what a success that's been.
Now for some reason despite all the times the mozilla people have done this -- much more than the two examples I've mentioned -- I was still using Firefox last month. Then it broke spectacularly on me (which was to be expected given it was a CVS build), so I load 2.0 up again and I realise half the extensions I have installed in it are to fix bugs and security holes it shouldn't have in the first place. I can name Noscript and Long Titles off the top of my head. I realised there was no reason to keep using this crap just like there was no reason to keep using windows.
Memory leaks aren't Firefox's biggest problem -- it's the inmates running the asylum that is. Until that's fixed, I'll be using Konqueror. (if you want to know why I won't use opera, substitute developers for users)
Slashdot Mirror
Technically you should be able to get a smooth-looking image out of what's being displayed there by dithering it down to 24bpp.
Try the 2.4 RC; they finally added a "save defaults" button to that window. (It's been driving me insane as well)
Supposedly the new 2.4 puts its menubar where it's supposed to go. I dunno if it's still using X11, but at least it got something right.
Why doesn't it just do what GIMP does, and have both a maximum undo step limit and an undo memory limit?
Here's a quick way to test #2 yourself:
File -> New, 800x600, fill with background colour (white). Make a new layer, fill it horizontally using a black-to-transparent gradient, then duplicate that transparent layer one or two times.

By day, he posts on Slashdot. But at night... he's MC Hammer.
If the 360 is so much better, why isn't it winning?
You can tell when something's become a household name - people don't bother capitalising it any more.
And would you stop using your OS if it turned out someone who made it did something stupid once?
And who did he steal the land for his home from?
There's already hashcash, but nobody will use it.
I find it scary that someone actually found that informative.
Whoosh.
That's one reason I'm going with Intel's graphics in my next PC. The other reason being that good drivers already exist for it.
He might have a Creative sound card, who from what I've read recently are worse than even the old ATi.
Sounds like it'd be more cost effective to just have a ton of RAM and a good UPS.
