See if you can find the secret passages. The place is supposed to be riddled with them. Might even be able snag a giant Mickey Mouse head to take home. Although it might look suspicious with it stuffed under your shirt.

Reply to To what extent is this site an exposition of artwork? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A wall is just a wall? The Vietnam Memorial in Washington is just a wall. Yet it generates more emotion in people that see it then people viewing the Mona Lisa. It is only a black stone wall with names carved in it. Would you call that art? It certainly generates emotion and captures a moment. "Music is meant to be listened to, not danced on (that's why I don't consider dance music Art)" A few classical composers would beat you over the head for saying that. The Nutcracker Suite isn

Shades State Park, Indiana. It is on the line where the glaciers stopped and dropped everything they had been carrying. It created a pine grove where there shouldn't be and several odd geological features. Most of the forest is virgin hardwood. There is one ravine that I like to think of as Nature's cathedral. Trees soar overhead to create a roof and walls. Leafy green, wet bark brown, and beech tree grey as far as the eye can see, more beautiful then any stain glass. The floor is l

Look out it is the new world soccor power, USA! To bad we can't see the games on regular TV. > Not a single network was willing to pay to show them. The pro league had to buy them and then practically give them away for them to be seen in the USA at all. What other sports might be interesting if they used the World Cup format? I think baseball, hockey, and basketball would be fun

Save as a .png instead of a .bmp. Png supports per pixel transparency. Dump the magic pink/purple and then your shapes can be anti-ailised without a problem. Just make sure the background in the image is transparent. Hope this helps.

I wonder how someone from Northern Ireland feels about gun control, or someone from central Africa where they seem to prefer machettes. I wonder what it is like to live in a country where people go to football games to start a riot. I happen to live in a city where I have heard a few gunshots in the night over the years. It isn't very exciting.

Care to compare statistics for home break ins between the US and England? Break into a home in the US and your liable to be facing a shotgun. A shotgun the owner would be perfectly within his rights to kill you with since he is defending his home and family. This tends to make burglars think twice. Your right, lets not turn this into a gun control thread.

In another thread someone asked "Why are Americans so suspicious of their government?" We are brought up with American heroes that were revolutionists or at least rebels. Washington, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King were heroes because they found the establishment to be corrupt or unjust. Our rebellious forefathers tried to set up a government that had its hands tied. They wanted to create a revolution every few years to try and keep it that way. Yet we hardly ever see things change. Th

America seems to use the Converse Accident argument to excess. "I heard that 2 kids drown in 5 gallon buckets a year. They should be banned!" While that is a great tragedy for those families, should the rest of America be inconvenienced because .0000001% of kids die in a bucket? Mother Nature is a rough customer. Accidents will happen. /me wonders what America will be like in the year 2200. Don't you remember? You tend to forget things.

In the 50's there was an incedent that has always made me wonder. In Michigan's U.P. an Air Force radar operator noticed an oddly behaving object on his screen. A jet was scrambled to check it out. The pilot described an odd silvery object. He said he was going to get closer to get a better look. On the operator's radar screen both objects merged on his screen. Shortly afterwards the object disappeared. At first that is how base officials told the story. After this started to cause a s

I don't see this making much of a differance without some of the other major players on the Linux front. They need to pull in Red Hat and Mandrake to really make it look good.

I tend to believe a lot of conspiracy theries: More then one gunman killed Kennedy The goverment knows alot more about UFO's then they are telling us. Clinton had ties to drug money. Not going to the moon? That is a little too far fetched for me.
