Google has been slowly making Youtube worse. First they get rid of channel customization, then they get rid of the ability to have a background image, then they start repeatedly asking for your real name and most recently they make it a requirement that you have a Google+ account to upload videos or to post comments.

Vimeo, Blip and Twitch are looking better every day.

Paradoxes are cute little wiener dachs

Another problem with print magazines is that they tend to consist mostly of advertisements. It makes you wonder what exactly you were paying for.

Oh, I certainly believe that. I used to be an overseas contractor for the DoD. That was very different than working for a company or for yourself in a foreign country.

I have been doing that for years without concern. I pay taxes to the government where I live, not to a place where I gain nothing from it. It would be very difficult for the IRS to actually prove that I had any taxable income.

Of course my case might be a bit different because I don't intend to ever return to the US.

I rue the day RuPaul is an improvement over Paul Reubens.

Speak for yourself. I don't want ANY entity, whether it is a government, corporation or person spying on me.

Instead of extradition, wouldn't it be better to have agreements in place with other countries where the criminal is tried by their own legal system? That would be less biased because it removes any motivation based on retaliation/revenge and more fair because it doesn't have the requirement that everyone has to know the laws of all countries (obviously only if they were outside of the country with the grievance).

Funny how the NSA doesn't hold themselves to the same standard when they infiltrate systems outside of the USA.

Just being a non-US citizen doesn't make a person a foreign power. Spying on the governments of other countries, fine. Spying on the citizens of other countries is just as bad as spying on US citizens.

Yes, I did read the entire thread and saw you wildly diverging from the question he asked.

Inkscape doesn't handle animation, but it is quite a good piece of software. I like it more than the commercial stuff that is out there. That said, you can always design in Inkscape and pull your SVGs into something else for animation. I primarily work with 3D engines and modeling, so I haven't had the need.

Tepples, Try Synfig. I saw it mentioned here and gave a quick test. It might be what you are after.

That may be so, but it still doesn't solve the question of which software he should use to design and export the animation from in the first place.

It's not my responsibility and I feel I have already done my bit by letting other people know about the troubles I ran into. Sorry if you cannot understand it, but each of us have our own choices to make in life. Feel free to file a bug report yourself if you're so inclined.
