the best algorithm for continuum would be a combination of the two, anti-alias the inner parts but alias the edges with the transparency key color (to make sure you're not mixing it with the colors that are visible). I don't know how easily feasible that is however, I know rotsprite is scaling the image up to 8x with scale2x algorithm for smoother edges, then rotates it and then downscales it again, followed by some optional post processing of pixel by pixel check if they haven't gone missing. I believe the link has a link to a forum post where the author explains it somewhat.

any VNC client, teamviewer, .. If you're in a domain with active directory they can also use remote desktop to monitor your session. Changing the settings or blocking them would probably get you in pretty bad situation or might get you fired though so it's not really a good option. It's better if you have access to the bios to boot from a linux live cd or a bootable windows xp on an usb stick

I was reading about pixel artists on wikipedia and encountered a few interesting algorithms for upscaling pixel art (using scale2x algorithm) and rotating (which can be useful for applying on a ship set). The rotating algorithm is RotSprite, which apparently outperforms the most common tools like photoshop because it's focused on pixeled graphics, you can find more info and a tool here: http://info.sonicretro.org/RotSprite

I haven't tried out XP mode in windows 7, so maybe it'll work better in there.

I haven't used any apple products nor am I interested in them in any way, I don't use a cell phone on a regular basis (I do have one, but I'm not really using it), I don't need a tablet for consuming media, and I require windows as I develop everything in .NET now and it's just way easier to use visual studio on a windows based pc. Windows 7 is smooth enough, even Vista was before (and it has yet to piss me off like some linux distro's have done in the past). The thing I don't like about apple and their users are usually they are hyping up their products to the point of as if they are god's instruments. I don't like their users because they are usually snobs who think they are great and all the other people who don't go the apple way are retards (I say usually, I know I'm being stereotypical here but I've met a few and each one turned to be out that way one way or another). I think they have some kind of apple cult or something

you didn't flash it with DD-WRT firmware for greater monitoring ? If your router is compatible I would give it a shot. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index

Yeah even the eurostar train is fully booked now. Can't get a ticket without reservation days ahead. Downside of free electricity in Iceland are the volcanoes that can erupt http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blum.gif

I don't know much about netbooks, I never used one (i assumed on both comparisons, think of it as a hm-what-to-choose perspective )

It would have been nice a few years back, before netbooks. I'm interested in tablets, and I know that they have limitations compared to a full fledged laptop, but if I can buy a netbook where I can do almost anything as I can on a normal pc why would I buy a tablet that is mostly locked down and everything has to pass through an app store. While this is great for people that only want to read , browse and occasionally play games, it's imo severely lacking to the people who know that the internet is not just a blue internet explorer icon (and know that typing google into google does _not_ break the internet).

isn't ctrl+space the default for intellisense ? or is that just only in visual studio (I think I remember it was this key combo in eclipse as well)

This is already possible to a certain extend by importing an image to tiles (Picture to map). Note that it uses the floyd steinberg algorithm for dithering, so it might be better to convert in photoshop beforehand to have a better result.

3715 is my highest after a lot of retrying

It's green and it doesn't have a home.

If I remember correctly I've heard those were illegal in the EU, but I forgot why.

somehow this makes me happy that i've never been on a plane before ^^

I vote webservice! either a wsdl or corba one! It also produces xml but at least using it in visual studio is a breeze ^^.

A continuum client written in flash (or silverlight because that's much easier in c#) and uploaded as a facebook application would be much more effective

best way would be to make and use a rename tool afterwards, much like an obfuscator for code, that finds all references to the lvz files and rename them to a character. Is the .lvz extension actually required ?

reverse engineering java class files is doable and readable, given they haven't been obfuscated. I've used DJ Java Decompiler in the past and that worked well ^^

oh I remember playing this on my gba with my nes emulator, also yay for multiplayer over link cable ^^

Aside from the long list of side effects that could make one feel sicker than the flu itself ?

No flu shots available here, well not for most people (except those who work at hospitals etc). Swine flu isn't even much more dangerous than normal flu, in the unlikely event that someone dies of it then he/she would have probably died from normal flu too.

yeah, layers are the key , I've been using paint shop pro 9 for years now and I've learned to use layers for everything significant too

hdds have a bathtub graph in terms of faulty hardware, either it's within the first year or after 4-5 years that a hdd fails, yours appears to the the first one.
