Gimp Layer Transparency Tip

It's something I get hooked on occasionally. If you want to make a layer overall have some transparency, in the layers dialog box itself there is a slider near the top for opacity. Once again I was hunting through menus trying to find that option!

Risk #2, Transparency

Even more comments along from my last post and last time at mmocrunch.
I'll quote Inktom,
Unfortunately Hulkageddon 1 and 2 has made safe mining impossible even in empire space. Since Apocrypha and the introduction of wormhole space, you can get that 0.0 feel and profitablility without venturing past gatecamps getting to null or lowsec. They even have wormholes that lead to 0.0 and that enables the term: Stealth mining. But that requires a few hulks and an orca. HUGE RISK! But tremendous reward if you pull it off.

But EVE is not for everyone, but gets the risk/reward ratio right.
My responce
No, not a huge risk. It’s just the impression of a huge risk – what info do you have to prove it’s a risk?

For example, say someones in front of me, flips a coin and it’s my call, heads. They hand me hundreds of game coins and I go weee! Also I don’t lose my game coins.
Now imagine someone goes off into a black box, then comes back out and hands me a few hundred game coins?

Did I face a big risk? Did they flip a coin while they were in that black box? Or did they just decide to hand out game coins to me?

Should I go weeee! or would I just be fooling myself?
Without transparent risks or atleast some level of transparency, you don’t know.
