Onideus has posted another thread here (cross-posted as well) where he has
been "searching and searching" and found that "hex conversion is some
closely guarded secret". He cannot even work out how to convert numbers to
hex !! This is even after looking at the ActionScript / JavaScript
'toString()' method that does exactly and claims its poorly documented
(translated: he doesn't understand it). He spends "HOURS searching the
internet" for what premultiplied RGB values are, saying he "can't even find
ONE reference to it" (Google comes up with over 16000). He was asking for
an equation or formula for premultiplying. Its just simple multiplication,
and he spends hours trying to find out how to do it?
Incredibly basic stuff. He claims to be a professional, but behaves so
childishly, ignorantly, and unprofessionally. He has managed to turn
reasonable, well mannered newsgroups (like alt.macromedia.flash) into cess
pools of foul language and abuse. I think it is better if we should just
ignore his rants, tantrums, and foul language and he'll go somewhere else to
troll and flame. I am almost sorry I even bothered to address his problems
in the other thread, now that I can see what sort of person he is.
So I ask everyone .. don't respond to any posts by him, at least while he
displays his current behaviour .. encouraging his posts is detrimental to
the usefulness of these newsgroups.
In summary, he's a very sad case who is best ignored.
