(insert obligatory comment about dying in real life here)

Seriously, though, I would be surprised if Canada's legislation is any more lenient in that regard (or most others). (Consider also that "banned in Canada" predates this by far.) It's just that negative news from there don't generally create nearly as much of an echo on the internet as ones from the US.

For the record, the Simpsons Moe joke has been done several times now, two of them in this thread. Such posts get deleted and I am very disappointed with the posters afterwards.

There is a thread with the same question just a couple of entries down.

Please check the present threads before making a new one.

Closing.

I'm kind of surprised about the price of production anyway. I'm pretty sure you can get poster-quality/scale printing for orders of magnitude less if you look around; what exactly wound up costing how much about this?

Do you really need to create a new account for that?(Assuming this was also you.)

Anyway, while this is a security non-issue (as stolen cookies from this board are generally worthless), thanks for pointing the expression thing out. I'll add something to filter it out tomorrow.

Why do they keep coming up with more and more oddball code execution paths?

Sigh, applied a quick and dirty patch to it.

Things like this really make me think we should add some proper rudimentary parser into the post filter rather than just dropping the str_replace hammer on such issues...

Yeah, this is actually fairly problematic; the best we can do is either banning external stylesheets (which people will slaughter us for) or just forcing anyone with power to not use them.

Does this problem affect decent browsers too or is this only something IE has come up with?

In GIMP,

- after completing your line art, create a new layer
- lock the line art layer
- set the new layer to multiplicative and select it
- draw colours to it

It should follow the same general scheme in other graphics programs with layering support.

If the lineart is black, there is no difference between multiplying and "colouring below".

Proof:
Let's start off with the lineart being represented by black lines with a per-pixel alpha value,

. Let

be the greyscale (0..1) colour of a pixel on a lineart layer as used in multiplicative mode (i.e. after the lineart was rendered onto a white background). Then, by the formula for alpha blending, for each pixel,

If the colour layer is "below" the lineart, the lineart is instead alpha blended unto it, so, according to the alpha blending formula, the new pixel value is calculated as (with c being the colour of the colour layer)

If, instead, the lineart is rendered unto a white layer and the two are multiplied, we get

Inserting the previously derived formula for l,

It becomes immediately visible that

Well, I dare you find an exploit that enables you to cause actual damage.

That was a math dump?

You don't know what a real math dump looks like.

Without having watched either, I think you should be careful about calling anything your favourite without having gained some distance from it to be able to compare it to competitors in the same class in a more objective light.

That being said, I might have a look at it. Lots of people seem to be liking it and the other series this season (apart from, perhaps, Sora no Woto) all have been disappointing to varying degrees.

Wanna bet? I've talked to Cearn. You probably don't know him, but trust me, I've seen math dumps.

Notes I took at a seminar on p-adic numbers
bad LaTeX notes from an MO seminar in early 2008

Neither is even starting to scratch the surface. I'll see if I can take some representative pictures of my algebra lecture notes later.

If I was to post that on the board, that might qualify as a math dump.

MathOnNapkins: I only had to resort to them because the board eats apostrophes, thus rendering me unable to trivially prime my variables. I probably should fix that.

I got voted for Most likely to get hit by a parked car. Not sure how I'm supposed to feel about that.

Deeply hurt, of course.

Imagine two tons of parked steel and glass colliding with you head-first.

Don't enter garbage or you'll be IP banned.

I call lies.

How's getting hit by a parked car possible? I'm wondering.

Your sense of wonder is part of the process that gets you hit by one.

It isn't like this is a political voting to elect the people who shall govern board2 for the next four years. The Mosts are just an ancient tradition that's basically about fun and communicating one's perception of the others (and, perhaps, also an opportunity to get back on them or vent amassed frustrations

) through the months since the previous ones. The whole point of the ritual kind of stands and falls with as many people as possible voting, so even if you are a newbie - especially if you are a newbie - you should vote. We old farts expect you to.

Depending on how you look at it, that might be a very philosophical question or a pretty straightforward one.
