KDE's KolourPaint (MS Paint clone) gets it right! Yay KDE!
1. some photos show it more than others (try a sharp photo of a pile of brightly colored plastic toys, showing well-defined edges between the different colors)
2. maybe RAW photos start off with gamma 1.0
In what sense is it not a scaling algorithm bug?
This affects alpha blending, including anti-aliased drawing tools.
I think people tolerate it because it's like traditional cartoons: you get a bit of a dark line around everything, more or less. IMHO, that's yucky.
Serious problems happen when you repeat an operation in the same spot. Things like a smudge tool get an odd sort of asymmetry, with black-to-white and white-to-black operations being different.
The school did not give birth to the student. There is no reason to monitor the student like a parent should.

I think that is because the state (which will refund part of the treatment price) doesn't want to spend possibly

and are better known.
Until recently I thought the same way, I would never endorse a solution that involves java. However
a recently came to the same realization that sun did when they created it. Java is a fantastic
way to over sell gobs of expensive hardware. I am a system administrator so the more hardware it takes to
run a solution the better off I am, more machines, more money and better job security. So I have now
fully jumped on the java bandwagon, java makes me smile.
I think the small part of my brain that handles irony just segfaulted
Now I have to wait 7 years for 100MB? Ouch.
I remember doing work experience at Philips Research Labs back in the mid nineties and they were working on a similar concept back then - a monitor that doubled as a flatbed scanner. It was based on an lcd monitor, with small gaps between pixels to allow light to pass through to the scanner at the back. The big challenges were getting the focal depth right, and avoiding refraction(?) patterns after the light had passed through the screen portion.
They seemed to have gotten roung that problem by placing the photoreceptors and lcd pixels at the same level. Can't wait to see a monitor sized one.
The only reason I still have a Windows PC at home is for gaming. DirectX 10 support is a step closer to me being able to get rid of it. Can't come soon enough, and I'm happy to pay for it if that's what it takes.
It is an annoying ache and stiffness that is concentrated not on the spine but on the Erector Spinae radiating towards the Obliques.
