 * Support Excellent depiction of early science fiction. Well known artist, visually interesting. Chillum  02:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I am going to see if I can get a better copy from the original. Chillum  02:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Does anyone know why I can't have an image with more than 12.5 million pixels suddenly File:Aerial_house3.png when I have uploaded 35 million pixel images before without issue File:British Columbia Parliament Buildings - Pano - HDR.jpg? This makes it very hard to have the best possible image. Chillum  04:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That's the .png bug. Durova Charge! 05:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As it stands, it's a DOS vulnerability. You can't use progressive JPEGs either. MER-C 05:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Tim makes a very good point there. I will try tomorrow with a better jpeg than what is up. I will link to the png from the jpgs file page. Chillum  06:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
