I'm curious. Could you explain your complaints with 16:9? I believe my current monitor is 16:10, but I heard that is rare.-Deozaan (January 09, 2011, 11:26 PM)
It does appear to be that 16:10 is becoming increasingly rare, which is another real annoyance.-nudone (January 10, 2011, 02:40 AM)
Congratulation, Tom. This is quite exciting! :-)I agree-Curt (January 10, 2011, 06:31 PM)
I need to say that it made me feel uneasy when I saw my name spelled out in full, next to an enlarged copy of my facebook picture. Will it be possible to change these features, or Should/Must/Can I cancel my account?-Curt (January 10, 2011, 06:31 PM)

Go to the View menu, and choose "Flat View" - there are three options, so you'll need to find the one you like.-timns (January 09, 2011, 07:25 PM)

Actually, it occured to me after I went to bed that what they've done is take 5 pictures of the same boy in different positions and then composited them to remove him.-4wd (January 08, 2011, 05:11 PM)
For what it took me to hand-fix that image, would have taken me far longer using Content Aware, making sure my selection was precise, and then cleaning everything else up.-Stephen66515 (January 05, 2011, 08:11 PM)
How did you do it? Clone & pixel adjust?-Renegade (January 05, 2011, 08:19 PM)
This is exactly what I'm talking about.

They've chosen a very poor example to use as a demo, one photo with people and then one without - why go to the trouble of doing a composite?
If they'd demonstrated by using 10 pictures of Piazzo San Marco, Venice, taken at 5 minute intervals from 10am on a sunny morning that they could remove all the tourists......now that would be impressive.-4wd (January 08, 2011, 06:47 AM)
If you wanted to search specific dictionaries then you may be able to cobble something together with a macro to open new tab, then use site:merriam-webster.com word or site:thefreedictionary.com sesquipedalian-MilesAhead (November 18, 2010, 05:05 PM)
The dictionaries I am talking about are software ones, not on-line.-lls (November 18, 2010, 09:09 PM)
Oh... I misunderstood too. I was allowing to use the websites; I didn't realize they were software based.-wraith808 (November 18, 2010, 09:14 PM)

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are 'limbs,' therefore painting them would cost the buyer more.. Hence the expression, 'Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg.' (Artists know hands and arms are more difficult to paint)-kyrathaba (January 07, 2011, 01:43 PM)
two families had a feud. One eventually took refuge in St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. They then wished to make peace, but were afraid for their lives if they ventured out; in consequence they cut a hole in one of the Cathedral's doors and put out an arm - the worst that could have happened was that an arm was lost. The hole is present to this day.unfortunately,-http://www.english-for-students.com/To-Chance.html

Why do people love Stieg Larsson’s novels?
by Joan Acocella January 10, 2011
Very critical initially* (or should I say superficially? - critical of the writing & translation) but also a very interesting indepth analysis-tomos (January 07, 2011, 10:57 AM)
Hmmm... I'm glad I'm just a reader, not a critic!-rjbull (January 07, 2011, 05:37 PM)
The word is from Old English godsibb, from god and sibb, the term for godparents, i.e. a child's godfather or godmother. In the 16th century, the word assumed the meaning of a person, mostly a woman, one who delights in idle talk, a newsmonger, a tattler.[4] In the early 19th century, the term was extended from the talker to the conversation of such persons. The verb to gossip, meaning "to be a gossip", first appears in Shakespeare.
Just downloaded "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" to my Kindle! OooOooOoohh, excited.-kyrathaba (January 03, 2011, 06:01 PM)
You won't be sorry - all three books left me wanting more (and hoping that Steig Larsson's estate gets sorted out soon so that whatever nuggets that remain unpublished WILL be published (from what I understand, there is one more book, about 80% finished, along with outlines for 6 more)!-Darwin (January 03, 2011, 10:42 PM)

go for it lolI find it hard to comment on the colours thing. While I realize I haven't spoken up till now, I'm not personally a fan of the light blue background your website has going as a theme, and the logos as they are aren't even set to that colour background, making it even harder to make a right decision.True.-worstje (January 06, 2011, 12:01 PM)
On a white bg, the greish one looks best. The other two.. I don't know. The colours aren't all that bad, but I just don't like the chemistry the way I see it atm. Dropshadows are overdone imo and I'd recommend taking it out to look less cheap.-worstje (January 06, 2011, 12:01 PM)
