| Onideus has posted another thread here (cross-posted as well) where he has

| 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.
i've got him plonked. i have to agree with all of the above...mainly, well
entirely, because it is true. did you see his further rantings about blogs
diluting valid search results? i told him to learn to use google a bit
better. he said (with much profanity) that no one here provided, or could
provide, him with a link. he then said his question about how to do the
'formula' was so over the top of anyone's heads that no one could answer it.
in his gawd-like fantasy, i suppose the two very good ones posted here were
lost on his infintesimle brain. not only that, but he didn't even fine (more
like understand) the clear explanation(s) given on wiki.
what a fucking goof.
