I've accepted that the mods (all men) have fallen for the "oh I'm jsut some poor little girl that's being bullied" routine. And that's why Iv'e been abscent. Who knows may be when the site gets a female mod that can see through her mindgames or when she has an issue with a female member maybe THEN she'll be seen by the staff the same way some users are seeing her.
Until that time.. I just won't really be that active. And that's my choice... I'm not playing a victim. I can't correct a bad situation, so I'm choosing to not participate in it regularly.
I respect each of you save that one user. And I don't wish to be a problem or area of concern. Since it's not going to be solved on that end. I'll solve it for you. That's all.
If you think gender has anything to do with it then your perception is beyond distorted. I'm honestly shocked to even read that. I've gone well out of my way to treat all parties equally.
It's an entire chat of her essentially stateing "The guys are bullies and ganging up on little old me" and the moderators stating "Yeah okay we'll look after you sweetie."
so to start off she brought up two of your comments she flagged for deletion but were declined, to which I said "I would have declined those flags too"
that baby gets thrown out with the bath water of course
I really am over this. Youv'e all made it clear that it's up to me to solve my issue with her. I can't expect her to change. And I'll CLEARLY be blamed as the catalyst whenever possible. That's fine.
I"m not angry. If anything I'm disappointed. Kind of feel I helped build this site only to be in a position that I must curb my participation becuase one user is so great and playing mind games.
John.. I have YET to see ANY MOD tell Go-Meek to STOP anything!!!!!!!!
It's not like I've been here for 4 years causing problems... but gee.. what.. 3 months in and she's alienating user afte ruser.. but yea EVERYONE deserves suspension.
I get JohnB's point...it's really hard to just start banning people. That said, I think Scott is making a valid point...if the mods could help with steering her line of commentary at times, it'd be nice. I get that that is a tricky thing to do and asking a lot.
and I asked her if I could invite both you and DA01 into the room. I was trying to be transparent when I posted that meta because You and Go-Meek both seem to think we're singling you out.
Let me point something out, back when we had that private conversation with you long ago - we had the very same one and said the very same shit to her.
I'm not stating you all are mysiginysts or chuavanists at all, Please don't think I mean that. I mean she, as a female, is playign female mind games with a bunch of guys. Thats all
If Scott and I have been "annoying, noisy, stubborn, and not intellectually honest" for the past several years, please ban us. We deserve it in that case. :)
@DA. well two things regarding that "troll" comment. First off mods can't see edited comments. We don't even know if something is edited.
Which is perhaps an issue .... but the reality is two wrongs don't make a right. So justifying you calling her a troll because she said something first... it doesn't work that way.
Look, my overall point is.. you HAVE to as mods take into consideration users that have been around for a number of years with high reputation standign when ONE new user is causing conflict with several of them. I'm not stating I'm speacial. All I'm stating is that I've BEEN HERE and not been an issue so why, in this setting am I see as an euqal to Go-meek. Yes that sounds egomanical, But I don't mean it that way. 
and, for the record, I don't want or need anyone banned. If things stay as they are, I'm fine with that too. But it sounds like she's adding a lot of drama for the moderators, so I'll leave that up to you.
It's not like I go around having issues with several other users. I never have. Yes there's a toss up every now and then, but it's not a constant repetative thing. It's constant and repetitive with THIS user becuase of THAT user not me.
You knwo hse's female.. she comments froma point of the scared puppy instantly playing on the male need to protect and defend. I'm not claiming you're somehow less than conscious at all. It's Psychology thing that many, many women play off of with men
I'm REALLy not meanign to state your less than a great guy, honest
I see it as offensive. You're making accusations based on her gender, accusations that I see as unfounded. That sort of talk is unwelcome here. That's not up for discussion.
I don't care if you see that as defending her or all women. That is crossing a line.
What got me riled up yesterday is the accusations hurled at DA.. which were identical to the accusations hurled at me when I had a disagreement with her.. and they are repeated each and every time,
Anyway... I think you all are placing too much weight on ONE new users which is causing conflict with MULTIPLE long-standing users. and that new users is NOT being told sternly enough to quit being insulting.
As a small community, with delicate egos we're trying not to suspend anyone. I'll be very clear when I tell you Abby was brought in back when we had the private conversation. She said to suspend both of you after reading. We then, and now, are trying our best to avoid that.
I love hockey. I coach hockey. I play hockey. I couldn't name an NHL player playing today to save my life. My brain just never could handle the 'sports stats' thing.
Ryan.. just do it then. If I'm the problem, then fine. Otheriwise stop threatening. And maybe her being suspended will send the message she's failed to get.
I don't get how you read my conversation with Go-meek and think we're going easy on her. Or ooh we spent a whole afternoon talking to her. Well now we're spending our whole evening talking to you.
And me bringing up the suspension wasn't really about the suspension as much as being equal. Because you feel that at least a little some treatment should be given you as you've been here so long and never had issue before.
I'm not special. I don't mean that. I mean just the stats... and the number of users having an issue with one other user. That's all. If it was just me and her.. I accept that I may be the issue. And that's why I quit coming around as much in September.
All I'm trying to do is get you all to stop perpetuating things really. All of you. If something is bad, flag it, walk away. There's no SE Stand Your Ground Laws. You don't get to fire back and then say, well it was okay because of what so-and-so said
im a very impulsive/naive buyer :v so im trying very hard not to buy books lately. @Ryan amazon own it, id be curious as whether they manipulate reviews to sell stuff
Photoshop only deals in whole pixels when sizing the canvas. 12cm x 5cm = 340.157px x 141.732px. Photoshop is simply rounding each dimension to the nearest pixel.
@scott.. Im calling BS on most of that.. I stayed out of the situation and kept an eye on it. Furthermore how can you say you were out of town when I looked at your activity and it still said you frequented the site. I thought you were taking another time down or busy. So for you to comment about "no one missed me" is messed up. You have always been welcome and it was obvious you still read the logs because you would hop in whenever your name was mentioned and you weren't pinged.
I'd like think we've known each other awhile but frankly EVERYONE involved has taken jabs at each other which is why I said what I said. I have no issue suspending Go-meek whatsoever but Ive tried to be diplomatic but you appear to think we are taking sides. She was given the benefit of the doubt for being new, we tried to take an equal approach for all sides but the mods are still getting sh*t for it.
Frankly, and Ill say it here, like I clearly pointed out to go meek I dont blame DA one bit, I thought I made that clear. Her approach was poor and it likely pissed DA and others off. I told her to stop. So again, not taking sides but to say what you said is F'd up.
Howdy all (@Darth_Vader @JohnB @Ryan or whoever): we have this question on Physics that might be appropriate for migration to Graphic Design, but I'm not sure. You want it migrated?
I'm trying to make a HSV representation of the xyY color space. To calculate hue from an (x, y) color, I use the angle between that color and red (wavelength 745) on the xy chromacity diagram, with white (1/3, 1/3) as the center.
The saturation is the ratio between the distance between white and...
I can technically migrate it anywhere, even to CG. But it's recommended to avoid sending questions to beta sites, because if the site fails, the question is lost. I'd rather find a home for it on a graduated site if one exists.
But Computer Graphics is a definite option if it's not on topic elsewhere.
@Johannes hehe, that's me! what did you find crazy? i base my grids off point sizes cus i use a baseline grid+modular grid hybrid. so i go a little obsessive when calculating grids for fine typesetting :3
@DavidZ Computer graphics is more appropriate, but i have no qualms of moving ot here. @Darth_Vader im afraid this question does not have a good answer.
@JohnB I can try to convince computer graphics to take it in. Its just that this is a bit hard to answer properly so it might take some time. Certainly the kind of qestions we would like to attract.
@DavidZ Its not that... it is just that theres no good definition of colorfu. The biggest problem is the magentas range which would have to work differently from the other ranges
So the theres no accurate answer. Even if there is a good answer it would nerd a batchelors degree worth of explanation
My redesign might not look like much compared to fancy designs for techie companies and such but wow is it crushing the stats. People are going much deeper in, more views of demo video, more dealer looksup, everything.
About the same number of visitors so far but better quality. Makes me happy
(not actual link because last time I did that it then showed up as social link from SE in analytics which I'd prefer my boss not happen to see and wonder who i'm showing it to)
At what point in the process of film creation are the soundtracks/scores usually made?
I know that it varies from movie to movie a bit and that most all movies are edited after music has been added to fit with the music better, but how much in advance is this usually done? I'm curious if the com...
I understand that it may be possible using imageMagicks:

however is there a gimp way of doing this?
I also saw this script which uses convert:
