Or who doesn't live up to their duties.A bad moderator is someone who abuses their privileges.
If something pops up a trial expiration message then it expires, even though it may not cease to function. It is also clearly stated in the license text:The WinRAR demo never expires.

What makes a good moderator is someone who moderates well. A bad moderator is someone who abuses their privileges. I'm just a regular user here who only has "moderator" status so I can access certain subforums and occasionally clean up thread titles. Other than that I never touch the moderator controls.The use of crude language to make someone appear dumb and not actively trying to understand fully what a member is saying is not what I'd say makes a good moderator.
You are, "obviously", wrong. The WinRAR demo never expires.I think he's complaining about the fact that the program needed to open up RAR files usually isn't free and that the trial version obviously doesn't last.
I understand you're pissed but that's not a good angle. ZylonBane was no more talking as a moderator...
Nah, I'm not pissed at all. You could also drop the word "moderator" and that statement would still retain it's meaning.
It is unfair to be treated like a dirt just because someone has a different opinion on something related to what I've said. I hope this won't happen again.
24-bit PNG was intended as a replacement for 24-bit lossless formats like BMP and TGA. In that respect it does very well, with much better compression.I really thought PNG 24bit had been developed as a JPG replacement, useless as it is for that.
Yes, this looks good, especially that you've included the ship's hull outline. I think, however, that windows shouldn't be drawn to prevent confusion ("why is there a hole through the bridge?"). You could also put some markers indicating means of vertical transport, eg. wheter it is a ladder, gravshaft, lift or bottomless pit.A quick side-view of the soldiers ship. The bridge is on larboard here. Does it look like something you had in mind?
While I agree on the PNG/JPEG part, I must admit this should be nominated to some sort of "break as many as possible forum moderator responsibility rules in a single sentence" contest.Otherwise I'm going to continue mocking you for being dumb.
I suggest you stop throwing around "trialware! trialware! trialware!" as if it somehow makes a program less legitimate. Otherwise I'm going to continue mocking you for being dumb.PS. I suggest we stop arguing.
Yes and NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. 24-bit PNG produces files that are hundreds of times larger than JPG, with almost no visual difference. 24-bit PNG should only be used for archival purposes or applications where lossless storage is required.Basically 8bit is the GIF replacement and 24bit the JPG replacement.
. Now this makes sense at last . Yeah for the thumbs I cropped down the files in order to stay under specific dimensions. Havn't forgotten how I crashed sbf last year^^. Tomorrow I will replace them with png (8 bit, don't worry^^).
. It's also worth mentioning that palettization is done only once (or not at all if you create the indexed bimap from scratch), while JPEG's quantization step is always applied on every image save so consequentive reading and writing causes its quality to decrease. For lineart, etc. it may be seen just after one (initial) saving.I was aware of MNG, but not APNGSame for PNG 8bit which is meant to replace GIFs (although its specification lacks the ever so popular animation feature).
A lot! It gives viewers/players completely new perspective to look at the map (rather than "here be deck D"). And since Minstrel is monolithic and actually shaped like a starship, I think it is worth trying.What kind of detail could be added in a side-view? Higher resolution, yeah...but what else?
Hey, if you notice I took that term in qoutes, you'll see it is used just to mimic your pondering about things like it being commercial and developed for 15 years - things that do not change the fact the product is distributed as trialware. You probably meant with that it is not some bullshit program written by certain person to make quick buck off it, but a complete package supported by a company for over a decade that is worth the money you pay for it; still, the point was about trialware (and patented algorithms) in general, not about commercial status of programs and their quality.*snip*
I'm a bit confused now, because I always considered png to be an non-loss format. When I compare my psd file with the png file, I can see no difference. So, does Photoshop have the ability to create compressed png and what's the benefit?By the way, you should really use GIF or PNG compression.
What kind of detail could be added in a side-view? Higher resolution, yeah...but what else?Could you try to do a side-view map? Just like the original but with more detail.
Since you just made up one of those terms, any difference or lack of difference exists entirely in your own head.How is "trialware program" different from "full commercial trialware product"? Is it more or less "trialwarey"?
What the fuck. RAR archives are creatable by a full commercial product that's been in development for 15 years, which happens to also be available as a trialware version. Furthermore, several other programs are capable of decoding RAR archives.I mean "bad" equals to "why use proprietary archive formats (creatable only by trialware programs)...
Also, RAR = bad.By the way, you should really use GIF or PNG compression.
