Computer Questions Not Worth Their Own Thread II

I just saw a funny glitch in Mozilla Firefox where the add date for a bookmark is Monday, January 18, 2038. What would cause this?

Dunno, but that's the day before the UNIX-apocalypse (sort of)
 
So could it be a problem with the date encoding?
 
I used VLC player to take a snapshot of every frame or so of a particular video that I want to turn into an animated .gif file.

What's the easiest way to take about 25 images and turn them into an animated .gif image?

I've done this a lot of times before. I used Animation Shop 3 (not free, I have an old version of Paint Shop Pro) but any animation software ought to work... Set it at ~25 FPS (not exactly, test it out to see if it looks smooth).

Here's a free program here, I've tried it a few times but never got the hang of it:

Using the unique ASUS DirectCU II Cooler the airflow is doubled and the noise level is greatly reduced by using flattened copper heat pipes which directly contact the GPU core to speed up heat dissipation for a 20%* cooler performance compared to reference. Keeping the card temperatures low also results in quieter operations thanks to reduced fan speeds!

At a brief look, this is what looks to stand out as different. And if you look at the features list and compare, there are a couple of differences there as well.

In addition to what others said, I've found this website:

http://picasion.com/ I'll have to give it a try.



Photoshop can do it too.
 
GIMP can create animated gif images as a free alternative to Photoshop.
 
Heres a question I've been thinking of: I've always had trouble trying to get around the interface of GIMP. Is there some addon or something I can use for that? I think I once saw a program that attached itself to it to make it more Photoshop-like but I cant find it now.
 
I've only ever heard of Gimpshop, but it hasn't been in development for years. . .
 
Thats what I was thinking of, but yeah its badly out of date. Oh well.
 
I have a question: On the Archives, I use WordPress to save time. Is it still a "real site" or is it just a "crappy blog"?
 
WordPress, not Word!
 
Except my sites not a blog!
 
Why do sometimes text files, when you open them in Windows Notepad, the lines run together? If I open it in Notepad++ it works ok.
 
Windows uses \r\n for newlines (carriage return/newline) whereas unix based systems use just a newline (\n). Notepad doesn't know about that ;)
