One note about comparing compressed image formats: the content of the image will give different results for the same dimensions. So its not as simple as one format being always better than the other.

This is also Rich' virgin forum so easy with him!

Yes, well said by that gentleman. I've been thinking about something lately, the figure '1%' is being used to indicate the 'Powers that Be'/ Money Power Brokers but I very much doubt these power brokers are anything near 1% of populations. If you think about it for a minute, how many people do you know? It probably runs into many hundreds! Unless one is living in pretty bad circumstances, accordingly we should know or at least be aware of 2 to 3 of the so called '1%! This is clearly not the case. I think the actual number of power brokers is much, much less than 1%! More like one in a hundred thousand or more ..... would need to work that one out! Done, for a hundred thousand its .00001%. What's my point? Its simply that even the 1% figure probably has been put in there by the hidden power brokers in order that they would appear to be a larger force than they actually are.

That looks liek a cool place for a we lad.... HB mate!

Yeah, but this is what they said the first time round. that's why they did it again. And they'll probably do it again, and again.... Like environmental theories ("according to THE Science", an over used term often branded around to evoke environmental doom/ hypothesis etc etc!!), science is always been there to be proven wrong anyway?

@idahoj said: Mike, I think your idea for an international body to police the 'net and provide anti-piracy monitoring is a grand one. That's me! A man of 'Grand' ideas but no clue how to get them implemented at the scale that is required in order that they could be effective! On the other hand, isn't voicing such and idea and getting folks to also back it, a start. This Bill will get through in some fashion, I have no doubt. It will probably have a few amendments tagged on before it does and I think that might be no harm. However, I am still nervous about the ways that it could be abused by the big wallet guys. Maybe in time the Net providers, the genuine ones anyway, will see that it is in their interest to form into a consolidated international group and self monitor / regulate their industry in a democratic fashion. Until now they may not have seen the need or a good reason to do so but this Bill could change that, particularity if abuses creep in and I have no doubt they will.

We have project affiliation with all of the above, and some financial support from various agencies, and all sorts of support and endorsement, but no direct organizational affiliation.

Good backups are definitely critical! A few suggestions I have: burn DVD's of current files monthly - always good to have optical backup. My file sync software of choice is Synkron. I got rid of mirroring my hard drives after I experienced some corruption problems. It's quite a *itch to get files off of one half of a mirrored drive... Now I have a setup where I schedule synkron to copy updated files daily to a second hard drive that I basically use as a mirror, without the mirror format. I then have an external drive I update weekly.

Saw this the other day on Gizmodo. It's absolutely mesmerising.

No, you cannot save it like that. php scripts are run on server side only so you cannot even see them from the source code. See your PM's. I send the code for you. Change the txt extension to php. Please, make sure to change the email address on line 3 to yours (best before renaming to php) in the script - otherwise all the emails will end up in my mail box.

That would be great.
