Just to complete the circle and create an infinite loop:

Subliminal messaging?

Ironically, I did not use the Drop Shadow default values*. I intentionally tried to make the shadows "more ugly" and less subtle (see Michał Prędotka's comment or run Threshold on the image).


* I believe I used a blur radius of "20" and an opacity of "100".

Scratch that, I found a better one:

cool. that works for me.

Wow, really? :S
My mother who has never used Gimp could do better. lol

When i buy my laptop i asked if i could have some discount taking it without the OS, windows 7
The answer was that they could remove if i wish, but with a extra cost of 25 $

Obviously my reply was very vulgar but thinking later i could not avoid to laugh :
it was too funny that a Windows OS preinstalled lowers the value of the computer of 25 $

I have a HP, for HP if you modify the software the 2 years guarantee is not more valid

More exactly the first thing they will do is "reset the OS to the initial condition" , (= reformat everything ) only after they will start to look what is wrong in the hardware

With no little effort i managed to contact the technician in charge of my notebook that agree with me that the Windows partition could be restored to the "initial condition" without wipe out the linux partition...and that maybe in my cause was not even strictly needed reformat ( because the problem was very clearly a defect in the battery or in the battery charger,not in the computer itself )

but i believe my was a very ,very rare and lucky case, and anyway bypass the bureaucracy to contact directly the technician is far to be easy
and I believe i was successful because nobody else did before does so the responsible accepted to talk mostly for curiosity , but if more people will try to the same do they will place more efficient filters to avoid theirs technicians disturbed, or loosing time conversing with the clients
