I took some photos of the same scene with different exposures, with the intent to synthesize them into one HDR image. When I looked at the RGB values of the pixels with the Python Imaging Library, I expected the values of the 2-stops-underexposed shot to be close to 4x less than the values of the normally exposed shot. Instead, the ratios were all over the place. Now I realize this is because the JPEG from my camera uses sRGB, a non-linear encoding. Is there a free software library I can use to convert from sRGB into some linear space so I can tinker with the pixels? I found LittleCMS, which seems on the right track, but how can I make it give me something linear? —Keenan Pepper 00:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
How do you put an animated GIF onto powerpoint? When I tried to insert picture from file onto powerpoint the animated GIF became a still picture. -Dudforreal 08:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I heard that the best computer in the world costs only $600. Is this true?--71.185.133.24 13:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
That's like asking what the "best" car is. Some people will say it's a Veryon, others a Maybach, and there's the group that swears by Isettas. If your question is "How much should I pay for a computer", then anyone who doesn't play games or do heavy multimedia work shouldn't spend more than 500$ -- Phoeba WrightOBJECTION! 14:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Actually, there is a best personal computer but its way more than $600. It's more like $9,808, at present. It's the Dell XPS 720 H2C model.Jk31213 14:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
What are some Sideshow laptops? 68.193.147.179 17:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Hardware.info has the first one. --JDitto 18:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I'm trying to make an html page have different background colours per section (in the same page)--but how do I do that? Also, is there a place where I can learn basic html stuff? So far, I'm just self-taught by hitting Ctrl+u
on other people's webpages. Thanks. --JDitto 18:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks all, especially Josh--that was really helpful. --JDitto 22:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I can't imagine a page doing this without being hideous, but personally, I'd use tables for this.
Go to Funky-chickens.com They are great! Desalvionjr 00:36, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Is there any way for me to import my Sunbird calenders into Outlook? Deltacom1515 20:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
It doesn't work in either iCal format or comma separated format. Outlook pops up with various error messages saying that the file may be corrupt, even though it gives you options to import these types of files. Deltacom1515 23:30, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure nothing like this exists, but just throwing it out there. Who knows, maybe it does, and that would make me a very happy Feba.
Any of the three aren't too hard to meet, but combined it seems impossible =/ SoulFu seems to be the closest thing, but it's offline. It seems to have a network system that's on indefinite hiatus, and even if it does work, i'm not sure it won't just be online friend play or even LAN. I know there's Regnum and others out there, but I really want something with a more Zelda (specifically, WW) or KH flavored battle system. Something where I press cross and swing my sword, instead of ALT+F1 to watch my character prepare to summon a fireball at some turn in the future, or clicking on my enemy to run up to them and swing every 2.56 seconds. If anyone knows of anything anything close to this, I'd be extremely grateful -- Phoeba WrightOBJECTION! 22:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Something like Diablo_II? Or Kingdom Hearts? Category:Action_role-playing_video_games.--0rrAvenger 19:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, so here's the situation: I have a Epson CX54000 color printer. The magenta ink just ran out today, and the printer won't let me print anything at all, not even black and white papers. So any help to let me print in B&W without having to go out and buy a new magenta ink cartridge? 67.188.81.5 22:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
I just talked to an IT and he said to go call Epson's Technical Support. Instructions to do that should be in the manual, or if that's not available, go to the "help" section of your printer's software. --JDitto 02:04, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
