Yeah, WTF? Why BMPs when it's plainly obvious that .PNG is The Future anyway? (I can't wait till .MNG becomes the new animation standard too. Keep GIFs for cheapa$$ ads tho LOL)

.MNG is the exact .PNG equivalent of animated GIFs with all the advantages PNG offers (32-bit true color, 8-bit alpha channel transparency, etc..). And yes, GIMP does support MNG. :)

Unfortunately, thanks to a fair bit of politicking in the Mozilla devteam, Mozilla doesn't have MNG support.

It's in Firebird 0.7, though, so you have that to be thankful for. Hopefully that MNG support won't get cut out when Firebird gets merged into the trunk.

BAH! :evil: That SuX0rZ!!


Anyways, back on topic: The Eiffel Tower really does look beautiful like that. It's too bad about what it represents tho...

It actually looks pretty cool like that.

And maybe Communism would be good for France. They can go Commie, then go bankrupt, and then they'll turn into good solid free marketeers like the Eastern Europeans did.

As far as I know, it was some ass kissing for an important Chinese official (PM maybe?) and something about Europea Union canceling the weapon embargo set upon China after Tienanmen.

France is halfway to communism already.

So it's for Chinese New Years, who cares? It's really pretty like that. :)

Dude, France already went Commie, right after the Franco-Prussian war. Now, who's heard of the Paris Commune?!?

I tried opening an MNG w/ Gimp 1.3.? (Gimp 2 beta) and it doesn't work, so I believe they took it out.
