Why are my users are unable to donate points to other users?
Make sure you have enabled user-to-user donations in the CubePoints admin panel.

Just wanted to thank everybody for their support in 2009. I couldn’t have been asked for a better group of colleagues, fans, and team to help get my music out to the masses. I’m gonna drop this project I actually wrote and recorded in a week while living in LA last summer before I did The Antidote [mixtape with Alchemist.] I chose to hold off on it for a while, but feel 2010 is the perfect time to let my fans hear it. Here’s a little taste of it.
Shout outs to Green Lantern for lacing me with instrumentals, to Large Pro for helping me get what is almost impossible to get and to one of the best poets to ever live who inspired me to do what I do. Look for more music, collabs and shows for 2010. God Bless and Thanks again.
We are very happy to welcome Phil Garrison of Wavespan to the roster of Earth Mantra artists, with his lovely and provocative new dark ambient tone poem entitled “Infinite Space”.
Como a maioria, viciado em programas como corel, photoshop, resolvi inovar e usar uma dica do Farley, sobre programas livres, gratuitos e seu potencial que não fica pra tras tanto assim de seus concorrentes… Realmente no primeiro contato, depois de estranhar e começar a fiar amiguinho do programa, percebe-se que em muito agrada e proporciona trabalhos de qualidade.
Atualmente no mercado há inúmeros softwares para o tratamento e edição de imagens profissionais, no entanto a maioria deles são pagos e geralmente muito caros. Para a felicidade dos usuários foi desenvolvido o The Gimp, um poderoso e avançado editor de imagens, assim como o Adobe Photoshop, porém de código aberto e totalmente gratuito.
O The Gimp foi criado originalmente para o Linux, mas agora ganhou uma versão para Windows. Embora seja grátis, ele não fica devendo nada aos programas mais famosos da categoria: são milhares de recursos, entre filtros e efeitos — capazes de fazer mágica com quaisquer imagens. Além da grande quantidade de ferramentas, o programa oferece um conjunto de scripts que permitem aumentar os efeitos indeterminadamente, dando mais liberdade ao usuário.
Novidades
Os pincéis estão muito mais diversificados!Agora, na nova versão você ainda vai poder contar com recursos adicionais, que ampliam suas possibilidades e incrementam o modo de uso do programa, tornando ainda melhor um editor que já se mostrava bastante importante na área gráfica.
Entre as novidades, você encontrará uma melhora significativa nas ferramentas com as quais você já deve estar acostumado, incluindo um modo mais dinâmico para os pincéis, os quais podem ser alterados por teclas de atalho enquanto você os utiliza na sua imagem. Além disso foram adicionados novos padrões de pincéis, modo de edição em tela cheia, removedor de olhos vermelhos, clone com perspectiva, suporte aos formato SVG (imagens vetoriais também suportadas pelo Inkscape), entre outros.
A instalação agora também está mais fácil, e, o modo de impressão, aprimorado.
Principais Características
Menu com ferramentas do editor.Criações:
O editor possui uma suíte completa de ferramentas para a criação de imagens — tanto bitmaps quanto vetoriais — tais como: Brush, Pencil, Airbrush, Clone etc. Além dessas, possui um sistema de anti-aliasing (correção de serrilhado) de alta qualidade e uma poderosa ferramenta para aplicar efeitos de gradiente e mistura, permitindo aplicar efeitos incríveis em qualquer imagem.
Suporta também a utilização de texturas e pincéis totalmente personalizáveis. É ótimo para amadores e profissionais, pois o conhecimento profundo de cada ferramenta depende diretamente do quanto você vai explorá-las!
Sistema:
O desempenho do GIMP é superior ao de seus principais concorrentes, com a possibilidade de abrir infinitas janelas simultaneamente. Ele utiliza a biblioteca GTK+ 2 como base para construção de sua interface, sendo necessário instalá-la previamente. Sua interface é simples e possui três janelas individuais e distintas, cada qual com suas respectivas finalidades e ferramentas.
Manipulação avançada:Múltiplas janelas para acessar tudo!
Como se trata de um editor de imagens avançado, conta com uma série de recursos profissionais, de modo que os resultados obtidos satisfaçam, e muito, as suas expectativas. Veja alguns deles:
# Suporte completo ao canal alpha (transparência).
# Camadas e canais totalmente manipuláveis.
# Múltiplo desfazer/refazer, limitados apenas pelo espaço livre em disco.
# Camadas de texto editáveis.
# Ferramentas avançadas de transformação, seleção etc.
# Seleções e máscaras modeláveis.
Extensões:
Assim como o uso interativo, o GIMP pode ser inserido em scripts e chamadas de sistemas em programas compilados. Para isso pode-se usar Scheme (ou ScriptFu), Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby e outros programas capazes de executar comandos UNIX. Além disso, oferece suporte a mais de 100 plugins!
Animações:
Como se não bastasse apenas criar e editar imagens, também é possível gerar animações a partir do software. Vale a pena ressaltar algumas características:
# Carrega e salva animações em um formato conveniente, preservando as camadas.
# Suporte a MNG.
# Navegador de frames (quadros), Onion Skin e Bluebox, contidos no GAP (Pacote de Animação do Gimp).
Praticidade com compatibilidade:
# Suporta diversos formatos de imagens: BMP, GIF, JPEG, MNG, PCX, PDF, PNG, PS, PSD, SVG, TIFF, TGA, XPM e muito mais!
# Carrega, salva, exibe e converte vários formatos de arquivos.
# Salva/importa o caminho SVG.
Devido a grande variedade de opções que o programa oferece, utilizar sua criatividade e conhecimento serão fundamentais para desvendar todas as suas funcionalidades. Agora você tem tudo e mais um pouco para a criar e tratar imagens profissionalmente e o melhor: sem pagar nada por isso!
Interface dividida em janelas de fácil acesso!
Tutoriais do GIMP
Já tem algum tempo que o Baixaki vem publicando diversos artigos e dicas para você, usuário deste editor, aprender um pouco mais a fundo o funcionamento das ferramentas principais do programa. Para facilitar ainda mais sua vida, o Baixaki agora tem uma aba chamada “Guias e Dicas” (veja a imagem abaixo) onde você pode acessar todos os tutoriais que já publicamos. Esta aba esta disponível logo abaixo do nome do programa e leva você diretamente para a seção “Artigos, Dicas e Tutoriais”. Aproveite, aprenda como editar suas imagens de uma maneira fácil com nossas dicas.
Minimalism is good. Why? Because minimalism gives us less to visually comprehend, thus providing us with less distraction.
Good Firefox themes are tough to come by, so I decided to look through some for an hour.
The best minimalist themes I came across, by far, are the following:

1990-Sick is the fourth studio album from Spice 1, preceded by the 3 LPs Spice 1 (1992), 187 He Wrote (1993) and AmeriKKKa’s Nightmare (1994), and one EP Let It Be Known (1991, click here to download).
I have jumped from Let It Be Known to 1990-Sick because the other 3 albums are very much in-print and able to purchase legitimately, and because 1990-Sick is banging and noteworthy in its own right.
In a similar vein to 187 He Wrote, 1990-Sick has a pretty diverse production base, with the beats handled mostly by Blackjack, Chase, BOSKO, Clint “Playback” Sands, and Ant Banks.
Reppin’ the Bay to the fullest, as usual, 1990-Sick is a fine slice of straight-up gangsterism, underscored by ice cold yet still funky, top-notch production, and features the hit singles “1990-Sick (Kill ‘Em All)”, featuring none other than MC Eiht, and the heartfelt “Ain’t No Love”
Anyone who hasn’t heard Spice 1 at his finest needs to cop his first 5 releases with quickness, from Let It Be Known, to 1990-Sick.
To me, “Mind of a Sick Nigga” alone (track #3) encapsulates Spice 1 at his near best, so make sure you download this album asap. 1990-Sick remains out-of-print, and used CD copies have been known to sell for more than $70, so grab it here:
[...] an interesting technique i used on several of these remixes: when i would open the song to start remixing, i would change ALL the instruments (keyboards became horns, basslines became percussion, etc.) BEFORE listening to the results. this type of chance method is of course a very eno thing to do. then i would listen to what was presented to me, keep some of it,change parts that didn’t work, and continue to fiddle with settings and effects until the piece was “finished”. [...]
Já ouviu falar do filme “Paranormal Activity”? Então prepare-se, pois ele tem tudo para ser a próxima sensação. O longa andou deixando plateias aterrorizadas em festivais como o Slamdance e o Screamfast, especializados em terror.
como o Slamdance e o Screamfast, especializados em terror.
Trata-se de uma produção de baixo orçamento do diretor estreante Oren Peli. No filme, um jovem casal tenta provar que existem atividades paranormais dentro de sua casa espalhando câmeras pelos cômodos. O resultado é algo que lembra o tom documental de “A Bruxa de Blair”.
Com a história recheada de paranóia, o filme independente causou tanto frisson que distribuidora Paramount se interessou pelo projeto e vai lançá-lo nos cinemas americanos, mas apenas em algumas cidades.
Rome is an original HBO series, full with stories of violence, sex, political fights and lifestyle of the poor n’ noble of the great Roman Empire. With great action scenes and convincing political plots is not historically accurate but offers plenty of education and insight.
Main characters of the series are Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, two soldiers in SPQR forces, those two are trying to make a living by different means. Titus is a huge and simple man but charming in many ways, totally loyal and heroic, while Lucius is complex and smart. The story drags important figures of Roman Empire like Caesar, Mark Anthony, Brutus, Pompeii, Cicero…
I have learned many things from this movie, totally worth’s your the time investment. It’s incredible how advanced was the roman civilization, hundreds of years ahead of it’s time in every aspect of life.
I’m a Gladiator fan and naturally I love this one too.

Dangerous Muse are back with a great new single. Just when you thought that all they had to offer is “The Rejection,” a new song pops up. “I Want It All” is the new song and it’s on iTunes today. Download it from the UK or USA iTunes. The video will be up soon, too. Click below to listen to it.
Jennifer Lopez’s new venture into the music world is proving to be like her previous three – a flop. Her fall from grace on the AMAs was both figurative and literal. “Louboutins” the horrid little single from the album Love? is no longer a single even if she did all the promo to go along with it. Sad day from J.Lo! The single is failing to chart and now the record label are claiming that it’s a “buzz single.” Whatever.
Our very first project together with Mamiko is finished! We got sidetracked half-way through the process and we’re happy it didn’t totally screw up the entire project. There are a few things I’d like to point and one of them is the video quality and file size. We picked the best raws that were available at the time I began encoding. As you already know, the raws are ridden with artifacts and as the guy responsible for the output, I did the best I could to turn a bad raw into a decent encode. To cut the explanation short, I removed most of the banding by increasing the bitrate/file size. It almost did the trick though. Banding is still visible but are less noticeable than the original. To those quality junkies, fear not! We’ll make a DVD/BD version of the specials as soon as they’re available.
Anyway, thank you for downloading and enjoy the final episode of Mahoromatic: Tadaima Okaeri!
