girls at christmas? just means loss of money

LOL, do you know this first hand? :P  

yes and theyre not good for the wallet

How sad.
/me knows it to be true, but still, how sad

Actually, some girls are very good for the wallet. I, for example, can personally organise your money so you'll always be able to keep track of it. :)

I've been losing a lot of my money, lately - one day it's there, safely walleted, in lovely £10 and £20 denominations, and the next it's not, and I have no recollection of spending it.  I'm half wondering if someone's been pinching it.

Mole & Smi: They're not that expensive - you just need to be very judicious about what to buy.  Books are good.  It also helps if  the girl in question isn't overly fussed about clothes or shoes etc, and treats fashions as something to analyse, not wear.

:huh: We seem to be missing such nice girls here in Santa Cruz

bit of an oxymoron

What is? The phrase 'nice girls'?  :blink:  

I'm not overly fussed about shoes or clothes.  :D



*ponders her new status as an oxymoronic entity*  :rolleyes:  

It's not an oxymoron, they're just very hard to find - and please don't ask for tips meeting them, I only met mine through ridiculous, umpteen-to-one odds.  And she's highly unique in a lot of ways. (Yes, yes, I know it's not quantitative, but still.  She is.)

...Louise is an abstainer? *peers around to check the colour of the moon*  :alien:  

'tis green, I tell thee! GREEEEEN!!!!11one  :P

 

There wasn't a blue emote. Red, green, white and black, yes, but not blue.

Watch in awe as I try harder, thereby succeeding.

saw a blue moon few years ago and what do you know...its not blue

I was referring to the forum emotes, not Google Images.

*ahem*

:bluemoon:

nto very...round

If I get a few moments later I might put it into a PNG, which'll solve it.  Or I could just set the background to the forums colour, as it won't be used elsewhere.  I still need to get a bit of time to sort out that CAPTCHA, although the spammers don't seem as active of late.

'S fine. We appreciate you've been tied up of late ... uh, I mean, busy.  :rolleyes:  

theres 2 background colours mind

The difference is so subtle as to be trivial (EFEFEF vs EEEEEE).

yet it is noticable when you use the wrong one, shown by when we were writing invisible things awhile ago

EEEEEE: [EEEEEE]

EFEFEF: [EFEFEF]

EEEEEE: [EEEEEE]

EFEFEF: [EFEFEF]

[Edit: *whacks Mole with a colour chart*]

Nope, it's visible when you do this - cus white has over 6% difference, rather than the 0.4% difference between EEEEEE and EFEFEF


Although I am able to make out the bottom one in Hornet's two tests on the reply page, which means that it doesn't alternate for that bit, and my eyesight is better than I thought. :cool:



Ah, it uses EDEDED on that bit, so that's why I see the EFEFEF - 0.8% is a bigger difference.
Would be cool to do experiments on what people can see, and figure out what the average colour difference thingy is.

i can see both on the second one and the top one of the first one

You're seeing things.

Looks like they should be EEEEEE and EFEFEF respectively, although there are overlapping styles involved, and I'm in no mood to suss out the CSS hierarchy.  And I don't even have any software on this computer that can give me the HTML code for a colour, so I can't just screenshot it.

And testing peoples colour perception wouldn't work; you'd end up testing their monitors, and how well set up they are.  I'm on an elderly CRT at the moment, which hopefully explains why I can't see any of the tests.

no seriously i can see 3 of the 4, its very very slightly off

It's possible that if the posts do alternate between EEEEEE and EDEDED (rather than EFEFEF) that that would be the case... depends on the monitor, it's settings and Mole's eyesight.

*plays about with monitor settings*

...

...

...

Nope, no can see.

*points at the misplaced apostrophe and worries a bit*

I thought you'd know better.  :(  

I did ponder that whilst posting.  The 'it' in that case is referring to the monitor, which is a noun, and as that noun is possessive, it should have an apostrophe.  If grammar says otherwise, it should make its mind up.

Possessive "its" doesn't have an apostrophe. "It's" is always "it is". Except when it's "it has". (I hate apostrophes.)



I checked in PSPX and the colours are definitely EEEEEE and EFEFEF, on the main page, and EDEDED on the reply page.

So, on the main page you cannot see the top top one nor bottom bottom one, no matter what you're halucinations might tell you. :P

On the reply page, you will either be able to see the bottom of each pair, or all four, but not just three of them.



Monitor issues could be avoided by having everyone look at the same monitor, (and in a controlled environment with a constant light source and temperature)

Feh.  If the 'it' refers to a noun, then I can see no earthly reason why the 'it' in question shouldn't be given a apostrophe too.  Unless perhaps it's to differentiate the contraction of "it is" from the possessive "its".  Who made those rules up, and why wasn't there a governing body to make sure they made sense?  :(


I thought you meant a test conducted via the internet.  Although your plan still isn't quite perfect, as the monitor would get burn in if left long enough.

'Your'.  While we're at it.  :P  

surely if they are the same colour no matter what monitor you run it on everyone will see the same thing, a defined colour on a background that is the defined colour of the text will still be outputted as the same thing on the monitor, and i can see 3 of them!

given the first one is extremely feint, they still arent the same colour, or there is some kind of mild outline going on

Sadly not; try working with computer graphics for an extended period of time and you'll soon be cursing the lot of them.  (Monitors, that is.)

I am not! :angry:

[color=EEF2F7]This is a color test [0xEEF2F7][/color]
[color=F5F9FD]This is a color test [0xF5F9FD][/color]

[color=EEF2F7]This is a color test [0xEEF2F7][/color]
[color=F5F9FD]This is a color test [0xF5F9FD][/color]


I think these colors work very well.  Well... for me they do :sheep:
For each post I can only see one of the two colors

I can see them both on both, with the bottom one being quite obvious both times.

Same here.  Why'd you choose those colours?

interestingly i can only see 2 of the 4, one on each

Your monitor, eyes, and/or brain is fucked.

Probably his eyes - after all, it is supposed to make you go blind, and his most unsavoury choice of "reading material" can't help the process.

I picked those colors because I just used PrintScreen and looked at the color info...

:hmmm:  just because all the idiots vote for the same thing, doesnt make them right

You can't always trust that method; Windows sometimes plays around with the colours, especially if you're using a laptop, or ClearType.  Use something like PhotoShop to take a few 5*5 average samples.

And it's colours, you blaspheming oik.  :P
