Idiots messing up google searches
-
Been doing research into image manipilation over the last few days , and mostly I want to try out a basic tool that does resizing(constraining purportions) and cropping) now every time I type in keywords like shareware, freeware I end up at stupid portal sites that has a list of free to download(asif every second website charges for the bandwidth for downloads) but $9-per month licence download links :mad: yet they still use the words free and shareware in their keywords and content words!!! Google should ban these sites completely off this planet!!!

there are no such tools
Unfortunately, with no many idiotic signatures now in place, I have basically stopped reading them... so without being told to look specifically at your signature, I would not have noticed that you provide such tools. Sort of like... Google gives useless links because of the amount of garbage out there; hard to find the golden egg in the manure pile.

I was just trying to help the person who was looking for an image-resizing tool. Someone else made an obviously incorrect assertion (without nuance or idiom), and I corrected them.
Do you also correct people telling jokes because they do not correspond to reality?

no there isn't
Look, troll, shut up already. I know this guy named Chris Losinger, right, and all he does is write image resizing tools and they rock. He is a sarcastic SOB but hell, he can resize images. Damned trolls!

I think since joining CP I've asked about half a dozen questions, my questions have been answered by: 1. Looking through documentation. 2. Using forums... newsgroups. 3. Looking through samples. 4. Disassembly. 5. Trial and error That's why I'm negative, people want the answers handed to them on plate, if you are prepare to look, the chances are remember the answer for future and you'll learn something new at the same time.

:laugh: I even started replying..., Indian newbies are hard work, they should be cracked around the skull for asking even the most simplistic of answers without researching first.

Possibly. Please enlighten me.

Are you sure he exists? He may be a figment of your image-nation. . .

I'd be using it 100+ times a day.
Does it matter what I write here? Someone just has to say something about it.
100? That's it? You're underestimating things. ;P
