Desperately reaching for insults again, Ally? Tsch, tsch, tsch...you
have *SO* much Hatter rage built up, don't you?
Coincidentally child, it's not really copying...as I'm xposting to the
Mac addict froup I'll bring up the classic example of how Bill Gates
reverse engineered Stevie Boi's crappy OS and made his own. How does
that quote go...'all cars have steering wheels but no one tries to
claim it's their own design'...or something like that.
It should also be noted that reverse engineering the image is only the
first step. Once you've gained a mastery of the techniques involved
you can start altering the base design, for example when I make a
version for the CB site, I'll probably make the buttons look like
hearts and stars instead of circles since that's more inline with the
general theme of the site.
Further, I have NO idea how the original artist even made their
version, the techiques I'm developing to recreate it are MY OWN which
are based on what I see. Like I said, reverse engineering, you can't
see the code of a program, but if you can see what it does, you can
build your own program that does the same...but the code won't be the
same.
Woah, that's a lot to take in, huh Ally? I hope you took EXTRA
Ritalin today so you could at least comprehend it on some basic,
elementary level...but that's probably just wishful thinking on my
part. Feel free to retard back into your default train of stupidity
and repeat yourself 3 or 4 times for the benefit of those who enjoy
watching reruns. ^_^
