Are you claiming to actually be the character actor Malachi Throne?
If so, imdb doesn’t list any Oscar nominations, at least so far as I can see.
Now I can see it very clearly. Thanks.
Well, there’s http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_talk:Headbg.jpg and Wikipedia:Help desk/Archives/2007 May 12 - Wikipedia for example. Apparently more than one or two people are confounded/intrigued by this background picture. Also, I think there’s a slight difference between discussing a blue background and an actual image.
Did they use a stock image of any old book? Or does it show a particular book that carries some sort of symbolism for the open source idea? Like the puzzle ball was chosen “to symbolize the continuous construction and development of the project” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikimedia_logos#Puzzle_ball_logo_.282003_on.29 Maybe there’s a similar background (pun intended) to the book image?
Sorry, I was getting Keeve and Hint: KT x P confused. Interesting discussion about what book it is, I believe might exist. Interesting discussion about what f-stop to use when taking a photo of the Great Wall of China to yield such beautiful light lines… not so much.
Keeve, sorry for the misunderstanding. I hereby withdraw my comments.
Slight hijack: What is the purpose of this picture, and why is is called “background”? The term “background” suggests (to me) that it is a sort of watermark which is visible behind everything else on the page. But from what I can tell, this picture goes away as soon as all the other stuff appears. Does this picture do anything other than slow down the page loading?
It’s a T, like you say, but count me in as another person who always thinks “stylized bull” when I look at it. I know that’s wrong, but it’s what I see.
A stylized T to be sure, but composed perhaps of two electrons?
I hope this “it’s the Great Wall of China” thing becomes an SDMB running gag.
