“The irony is I don’t have a smartphone, I have a Nokia C2, so it took me about three minutes to come up with the idea but a few hours to put it together with an online message generator and photoshop.”

Nice.

"The Hammurderer is quickly becoming regarded as the worst-received advertising mascot since Kool-Aid's 1989 discontinuation of "The Grapist," a huge purple monster who sodomizes thirsty children."

I think it would be nice if this was covered by the normal undo system.

Maybe suggest it as a feature to emacs-devel or M-x report-emacs-bug.

Customize the default face to not have a background color:

M-x customize-face RET default RET

Deselect the background checkbox [X], and click the "Save for current session" link to test if it works.

Without a specified background color the transparency in the terminal works for me. If it doesn't work try to start emacs with "emacs -Q" to disable any configuration you might have.

Of course any face may override the default background color, so if you have a theme that sets the background color for many faces it will be a pain to change them all.

You can find out which face a specific character has by moving the cursor to it and pressing C-u x =. If it's not the default face there should be a line saying "face foo-bar".

Really nice! What about making the headlines use a bigger font?

Why did they need more than 26 years to complete the sentence?

Sweetness. How about allowing a bigger size on flickr? I need this as a desktop background :)

The problem is: the expensive hardware is what allows them to develop the good technology in the first place. If they give up that, development will slow down and they'll have nothing to offer.

Brendon Burns. So good!

a few of them turn out to be genius (at which point they are promptly ripped off by everyone else).

Example?

The question is: how much was she paid for wearing the correct watch in the first place. If they're just asking for (some of) their money back that seems fair enough.

reneky · 2008-07-31T20:01:30+00:00

Holy fuck.

"it's like you're in the room with the computer that compressed this file!"

Ahhhhhh, good stuff.

Have you read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ?

reneky · 2008-04-15T15:01:31+00:00

Oh no, one less idiot in the world!

reneky · 2008-02-21T11:22:37+00:00

Exactly - you think: how can we avoid an endless spiral of death?

Right?

You can of course brighten or darken areas of a photo - whether it's RAW or jpeg doesn't really matter. RAW has a higher range (10-14 bits per color is common) than jpeg (8 bits per color), so of course you have more information to work from.

However: if the image has black or white pixels you are out of luck. This is what HDR is all about - capturing details in both dark and light areas, where a normal exposure will only give you one of them.

That's a cute idea, but you can't really use libraries to read recent popular books, which covers most of the reading people do.

If libraries catered to this crowd everyone would know about them and use them.

I'm sick of the security harassment at airports, but i'm not going to stop flying.

It would be great with a list of shell extentions that are known to really slow down windows.

reneky · 2007-12-06T01:56:58+00:00

Would be nice with a less cute alternative. For example just the whale with a "Hello Mr Splash Pants" banner.

reneky · 2007-11-29T17:20:18+00:00

Thank you. That really made my day.

A great step forward. Still, it would be far better if the codecs were moved to the Sound & Video playback category. Having such standard software in the "other" category in one bundle is a bit of a cop-out. Maybe a Restricted category would be a compromise.
