Friday 05/20/05 Spotlight revealed a picture of me from 1994 lurking in a forgotten corner of my hard disk: Finding old pictures of yourself: just another reason to hate Spotlight. Re: Jerry circa 1994 There are 7 messages in this thread, displayed in the order they were posted. Keith 5/21/2005 8:55:48 AM Pacific Dude! That shirt hurts! Alfredo 5/21/2005 3:29:05 PM Pacific It looks like a picture from the seventies! LOL Jerry Kindall 5/21/2005 6:16:09 PM Pacific What's funny is I look older in that photo than I do ten years later! There's a painting in my attic that's getting older... You may have noticed -- it's a GIF! I used to think GIF was better than JPEG, since it at least preserved the details. john 5/21/2005 11:34:30 PM Pacific Can we have a caption contest? Here's my unsolicited entry: "Thank you darling, I'd almost run out of Courvoisier." Keith 5/25/2005 11:57:05 AM Pacific It's the kind of photograph that's often associated with the terms "bon vivant" and "international playboy". Manuel 5/25/2005 7:11:25 PM Pacific That is badass. Daniel Talsky 5/27/2005 1:50:10 AM Pacific You know it's true that gif is technically lossless, but it only saves a 256 color pallette (maximum)...so for photos...it discards plenty of colors, and makes the filesize pretty big. That's a 30k gif and you could probably get a 20k jpeg to look way better. The highest quality jpeg's have almost no loss...but you just wouldn't want to save something as a jpeg multiple times, whereas a gif you could. In any case, if you want true lossless compression, and it has to be more than 256 colors, then use a PNG, which shows up in all "modern" browsers. It is currently 1/7/2009 5:29:49 AM Pacific.
