Is it possible to use brushes that other people have made on the Gimp program? I used to use photoshop and I have a lot of brushes that I used on photoshop before my trial ran out so would it be possible to use those same brushes on Gimp?
Thank you. (link)

I haven't tried it myself, but supposedly you can convert them:

I have recently created a new LiveJournal Community and am doing pretty good with it. But there are two things I need to know, How to create a picture header without upgrading, and how to post in my own community.
Thank you very much. :) (link)

To do it without upgrading, you have to use the S1 system.
I think this tutorial covers it, but I've only worked with S2, so I'm not sure how clear it is.

Okay, is there a place to get brushes made by other people to use on GIMP?
On livejournal, they have places to download brushes you can use on photoshop and paint shop pro but I can't find any for GIMP.
Thank you. (link)

I haven't tried it, but it seems like you can convert photoshop brushes to gimp brushes. So if you see a PS brush you like, you can download it anyway. Which , personally, I'm excited to hear because I always use GIMP and just never bothered with brushes before.

If you want to look for brushes made specifically for gimp, you might be able to find what you're looking for at deviantart.

Yes, but why so many cookies? I can understand one cookie for tracking (and it seems that Frontpage does this by default, because I think I get alerted of one every time I visit a Frontpage-designed site). But why does one site need to send me 5 or more cookies? (This doesn't even count third-party cookies from advertisers.) (link)

For most sites, it's probably unnecessarily, especially if you're finding that it's just default on Frontpage.
Some forum software justifiably use a lot of cookies, however. I just used Mozilla's cookie manager to take a look at how many cookies I'm storing on a board I admin. It's an invision board and it appears to store five cookies, plus one for each forum.
1 - member_id
(this is to store the member id, so it doesn't have to query a database every time)
2 - pass_hash
(this is probably used to confirm that the user hasn't faked their member_id)
3 - session_id
4 - topicsread
5 - hide_sess (this is to get rid of the session in the url)
And then for each forum I read, I get a cookie called fread_#
I don't particularly like this way, but it seems pretty standard across the browsers. This information could be stored on the servers instead, but it would require a lot more computing energy, so it's probably best this way.
For sites that aren't storing and passing a lot of individual information like forums do, there really can't be a good reason for so many cookies. But there are some sites for which there is a good explanation.
