  1. Just as a little exercise and fun, I thought I’d create augmented versions of a couple of animated cat GIFs. I call these perpetual to distinguish from just looping the GIF.
     
    So these are the original GIFs

    And here the perpetual versions

  2. Before I’m given a warning for violating any rule, I clarify that the site is non-commercial and I derive no income from it. It is intended to promote the appreciation of cats, my favorite pets. It contains:

    Info, advice, quotes, one liners & pics on cats, including a section of cat smilies I made myself from photos.

    Dog lovers are also welcome - in the hope of converting them. 3fpewkF.png

    I’d appreciate any comments, including constructive criticism.

    Note: tomcat is another nickname I use on some boards where I participate.

    tomcat’s is an acronym for: tomcat's online miscellaneous cat advice & trivia site

  3. Cats are well known for their expressive faces. And sometimes to such an extent, that they can rightfully lay claim to an Oscar. So these are my 20 nominations. Some are real situations, others are “staged” (created a-posteriori) but always based on genuine cat expressions.

    So to which of the following cats would you award an Oscar?

    "OMG! What have I done!"

    “Don’t touch!”

    “Not amused”

  4. Nurse Jacintha Saldanha was found dead three days after she took the call from Michael Christian and colleague Mel Greig.

    One of the Australian DJs who made a prank call to the central London hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated has been awarded the title of "top jock" by his employer.

     

    Nurse Jacintha Saldanha was found dead three days after she took the call from Michael Christian and his colleague Mel Greig when they rang King Edward VII's Hospital where Kate was being treated for severe morning sickness in December.

     

    Attempting to find the "best in the land", Southern Cross Austereo's (SCA) Today Network named Christian as one of the network's best DJs in a competition it says has created a "community for SCA's seasoned and emerging talent".

  5. I don't really understand how Bitcoins work. You generate or mine them by doing complex operations on a powerful computer. But who gains from these pointless operations so as to pay for he money you get? It generates itself. And it seems the only reason it has a value is because...it has a value. People accept it knowing that it will be accepted by others. There's no official state, bank or body backing it.

     

    It's not like this with Dollars, Euros, Yen etc, but I don't know how significant the difference is. In the las analysis, people also accept these knowing they'll be accepted by others. 

     

    Which leads me to where I started, namely that I don't understand the whole system.


  6. OK, you got the answers you wanted. All I can add is that you make a full backup of your system before starting work on the drivers as they are notoriously tricky and can mess up the computer.

     

    The general advice about drivers is, "If it ain't broke don't fix it". But since it's "broke" in your case, you're doing right to fix it, only take all precautions. And if you're going to change more than one drivers, do the one at a time and check results before proceeding to the next.
