As you can see, I have 1/4 of it used up. I will look around my chat posts to delete a couple big ones, but at the rate I am going, I will use up my disk quota in a few months.Quote:

Brad!
I was thinking about purchasing disk space. I guess I could do like mendhak and start uploading my pics to an extrnal site.Quote:

EDIT: Also bare in mind the attachment you just posted to show this has lots of wasted space at the bottom, things like that add up ;).
Just standard paintbrush. I dont have PSP. Most of my images are screenshots, text can get fuzzled if I compress them more. I will switch to GIFs and see how they work.Quote:

Well my pic is 38K as is. I cropped the bottom blue half and it became 32K. Not enough savings to waste the effort.Quote:

When I say unimportent, I mean old pictures to ilustrate stuff in ChitChat, and non DIRECTLY programming related stuff like link and compile error images that I had posted, and avatars I have made for all the Chit Chatters. Now I have only images to illustrate programming techinques, and algorithms, and zip files with apps that I have posted. That helped a lot. You could try to do the same.

You are right, but I had already done that already. Only remaining posts are some uploaded projects, and screenshots pertaining to propramming projects.Quote:

I've found screenshots of windows save smaller as GIFs in the past (low color count). I'll look into it again.Quote:

BMP: 2,139K
JPG: 123K
GIF: 55K
Check out PNG. It compresses better than GIF in some cases. It can also have more than 256 colors.
And to maximize the power: you can find PNG optimizer program off the web, which takes out all unimportant information from the picture. I think it works for GIFs too.
You can also control the quality of the JPEG, I think 75% might be enough for forum usage. It adds artifacts to the image though.
The image I use as my avatar is a 112 color PNG, which I had to make some forum with a ridiculous avatar size limit of 3kB. The avatar is 2.98 kB.
dunno if this has already been mentioned, but my post number seems to be refusing to go up, its been stuck at 39 for my last... several posts, knowing my luck itll go up to 40 now and u'll all think im making this up tho.
grr it did! well all of my posts from the thread discussing mendhaks gender didnt seem to count! maybe its just his curse...
Chit Chat posts don't count :p
ah :blush: glad u pointed that out for me!
Actually any number divided by zero is undefined. Not infinity.
Actually it is infinity becuase if you think about it. Sharing a pizza between no people means that no one will eat it. Therefore it will always be there.Quote:

Don't know why this is being discussed here but when you have z = x / y
As y approches 0, Z increases and threfore tends towards infinity ;). On a computer it would be correct to say infinity is not defined though :).
.... right,but y is still not 0..... it just gets minisculy close. So any number divided by 0 still holds as undefined, no infinite. So, to get infinite pizza, you have to share it with <1 approaching 0 people. Since it's less than 1, you can't have any either..... which would defeat the purpose of wanting or having infinite pizza. And who would want a pizza they couldn't eat?Quote:

You can, but you would be infinitely wrong. Zero is a well-defined value. It is just ... plain ... zero.Quote:

There will always just be the 1 pizza.
This thread has gone so far off topic I"m closing it. Feel free to continue the math discussion in the math forum or chit chat :)
