Guess the rest didn't get in since I've been having crappy internet all day until now, it isn't as bad (yea it's still devistating and terrible), but still nothing compared to say Columbine.

Just the fact that he kicked the door in of a lecture hall, went onto the stage and shot with a shotgun is just... wow

My school hasn't been going so well either, one guy was shot last weekend in some alley, and we've had repeated bomb threats in a nearby apartment/dorm on campus.

Well, shucks, you can't edit pictures with paint!

Atleast get GIMP, it's free!
Quite powerful, I use it on my flash drive for a portable picture editor incase I need to do a quick edit or something (actually I'll be honest and I haven't actually used it, but it's nice to know it's there )

All programs are the same really when it comes to this, you just have to cut around it, some programs like Photoshop CS have the magic edge thing, but sometimes those don't work that great (not saying they don't work at all, it has been improved a ton in since the original Photoshop CS, to the new CS3, works like magic, but they don't always hit it 100% of the time).

Or.. do it the simple way and get a CMX screenshot and do it that way.

Quote from Racer Y :I sorta think arming the students might be an alternative

Hahha, funny you mentioned this, a friend of mine up the hall from me mentioned the same thing that if he were to have a glock in his drawer.. we might all be safer.
Funny part though was what he said afterwards; if someone pulled a gun out in a class he could pull out his gun and shoot the other dude, and then he'd be called a hero.

Don't think it'd work out that nicely though lol.

What's really upsetting was the news this morning, that 5 total died.
Small number maybe, but that's besides the point.

Quote from KeiichiRX7 :Why not just make the Skins_X folder hidden by default?

Simple yet effective.

I don't think watermarks will work, and you can't do a temporary solution because that's just a lot of bandwidth used for no reason.

I mean, turning them into dds was a fairly simple, unintentional may be, but I have to say I haven't heard nearly as many complaints since they were converted to dds from jpegs.

I think Keiichi is in the right direction though, making it hidden will cause even less people to see it making it even less of a problem.

If that's done, then we've gone from open jpegs which were every now and then stolen, now we are at open dds' which not everyone can open, making it harder to steal, and using Keiichi's idea we would have closed dds' probably cutting it in half again.

Good point, I didn't notice that when I first glimpsed at the picture before I had to go.

Maybe they just aren't showing them, they might have more aerodynamic and lighter mirrors on the race version. I just can't get over how thin the whole thing is, especially the rear fin it just looks like it's beingheld up by nothing behind the seat.

I heard the gunman didn't even go to the school. I don't know if this is true or not, I was just informed by a friend of mine who is from Illinois and has friends that go to that school.

As for the little boy shooting his sister over a bag of chips... I dunno, I can't even comment on such an act!

Last night was awesome, got to see someone very famous around the world for his photography, films, books, etc.

Wade Davis came to VSU last night and told basically his life story lol from growing up, to his trips around the world, people he's come across, all sorts of great stuff (sorry if this isn't making much sense I'm heavily medicated from being very sick and having to take a test a few hours ago)

Interesting guy, had lots of great photos, but I'm kinda upset because the Anthropology class got to have breakfast with him this morning, and just got to talk one on one with him, unfortunately I didn't get to go because I'm not in that class lol, but what's even more upsetting is that less than half of the people in the class went!
Really wish I could have gone, very interesting guy, had some fantastic photos last night that he showed off, and the best part is these aren't just photos, these photos make him who he is. It isn't like pictures we're posting here, these actually had great stories behind them and actual meaning.

I tried to milk out some info from a friend of mine who is in the anthropology class because aparently he talked to them this morning about his photography (mad i wasn't there), which I noticed last night, even before the fact when he said he likes to change things up a bit (literally that's how he said it lol), and doesn't like doing stuff the same way every time. This was extremely evident in someone that knows a little about photography or atleast styles and meanings behind them. About 90% or more (probably more) of his photos were portraits, many showing lots of movement, using the flash and rotate or zoom technique, many showing color (he is part of national geographic :shrug, he apparently loves wide angles, and enjoys altitude landscapes (unlike landscapes from the ground showing off mountains etc. he preferred to look downwards on subjects moreso than the usual).

(had to go milk a little more info from my friend), it isn't a surprise, but he does use a Canon, and only a few photos into his show it was apparent he loved film, and another thing he told the anthropology students this morning is that it wasn't until the latest trip he went on that he attempted digital photography. He didn't mention (no surprise) to the students anything about a tripod except that he doesn't use one much, but some of his darker photos were just insanely sharp, unbelievably sharp for some of the exposure times i'm sure he pulled without using a tripod, but.. that doesn't really relate to anything.
My friend though (this is kinda funny) asked him if he enjoyed photographing anything besides people, said he hated it, said he took a picture of a lion once, and that's about it.

This is dragging on, my hands are freezing because my window is open and it's like freezing outside, but i'm determined, and i'm on around 130+mg of concerta! yay!, which is making this near impossible for me to make any sense of what i'm typing, and i've hit the backspace atleast once every line.

On the topic of drugs though it's funny because Wade Davis is also a ethnobotanist, meaning he knows a fair amount of drugs and their effects, but he talked quite a bit about drugs last night, not only from what he took while he traveled around the world with indigenous tribes from all over the place, of specific plants when combined with others to form some powerful stuff, but it was funny what he said last night, which is at one dosage we have a medicine, at another dosage we have a narcotic, and at another, we have poison.

I guess I'm gonna stop here before I run out of figures to type lol, I could literally go on for quite some time about Wade, he's a genious, literally he graduated from Harvard, has two degrees, and a PhD, just brilliant. Been many places, learned many things, and couldn't get his first cell phone call to stop last night
Very cool guy, extremely down to earth.. it was a fun experience, I just wish I could've talked to him personally.

If you wanna read a little about him here's a segment at wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade_Davis

Just got a copy of his book from my friend, Light at the Edge of the World, signed and all to my friend's name, looks like I've found reading for the weekend, something enjoyable at that moreso than contact with native americans by europeans.

Okay yea I'm done lol my hands are frozen just about, and i'm going on dull tangents lol

Quote from The General Lee :I first heard Crazy Frog on EbaumsWorld, when it had a picture of an F1 car and the Frog going "BahDingDingBaaah" and if you could look at it for 30 seconds and not laugh, you were insane.

Then the actual frog appeared, then the songs and aye aye aye...

What ever happened to that website I can't find it anymore .. gets some good laughs out of it too

I hate crazy frog though.. hate hate hate.... hate.

That's why we have this: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=2626

by the way, the damage model isn't even close to being completed (but I'm sure you knew that anyways).

Remember LFS is still in alpha stage, and is only about halfway into the completed product, there is many issues with LFS that will be fixed by the finalization of S3.

It was removed on account of being an advertisement for a website, especially since you would be promoted in some form or another with the link you posted, rather than the actual site. Plus that site has been linked here before

not like 48 hours two days, I'm just saying I started it yesterday, and just finished it.

I started it like four days ago but didn't like where it was going so I retried it.

Probably spent about an hour and a half in total to two hours in total.

CMX edit of FZ50, uploaded my edit, and the original; except it isn't really even the original, the "original" posted is split up into direct from CMX, increased contrast, and reflections layers.

simplified: light edit in one, original + reflections is the other.

spent two days on it.

It's much more interesting to see all the changes via layers really though...
this isn't one of those pictures you can just skim over, there are over 50 layers and many changes in the final edit.

Quote from JeffR :but it's a bit of eye candy that doesn't seem needed.

Heh.. right.
This is also the reason why many gamers that would be playing this game call it "stiff" looking.

shift-s saves it in the shots folder

printscreen is window's default "print screen" button, it just puts it on the clipboard, it doesn't save it in physical memory.

Quote from Inouva :Demo racers ,can´t use layout

Did he ever say anything about a layout?
No, he's requesting the insim code, something they can use.

Tired of these demo user insinuations.

I like the idea too.

Lag? what lag, if anything is to lag it would be you, the uploader, no one else would be hit by the master server.
