The books are a bit hackneyed using the same twist repeatedly - the identity of the mystery person (Snape/Lockhart/Pettigrew/Moody). That said, they are enjoyable in the same way Enid Blighton's stuff was when I was a kid (perhaps I should have put Richmal Crompton for more street cred). The first f...

Is Pokemon is a big fat steaming pile of Turd?

This thread is a big fat waste of time. Why are you arguing over the definition of the word 'cartoon'?

At least argue whether Pokemon is a big fat steaming pile of turd or something.

Considering the compression ratios available using JPG & MPEG not to mention Divx, I'm surprised that zip files are in use today. I am unsure why some rocket scientist out there has not come up with say a "DivxPacker" programme, using the divx algorythm to power it. me/ Goes surfing wi...

Yes for Winrar, the compression algorythm changed from 2.xx to 3.xx for instance. This is untrue for zip (both PK & Win varieties) files. Here is a little experiment :arrow: My registered copy of PKZIP from 1993 (the last time it was updated) unpacked a test archive I just made using Winzip 8.1 ...

Cartoon: 1. A drawing depicting a humorous situation, often accompanied by a caption. 2. A drawing representing current public figures or issues symbolically and often satirically: a political cartoon. 3. A preliminary sketch similar in size to the work, such as a fresco, that is to be copied from i...

Take you favourite picture. Load up Paint Shop Pro and resize it so that is does NOT EXCEED 100 pixels in either axis. If the saved jpg exceeds 24 kb in size, use the "export - jpeg optimizer" on the file menu to compress it further. Save this file to you HD say D:data/pics/myphoto.jpg. Co...

DN3D pissed all over Q1 in game play, and it was easier to play because you could actually see where you were going. 3D wise is was already dead, so sue me.
