Hey, A lot of people have been asking me this lately :P No - it is _not_ a typo on "Fail" :P It is actually the name of a character from the very popular Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I wanted to use a different name from the series, but it was taken, and I eventually settled on Faile ;) But - recently I came across something funny online.. "Faile" would turn out to be a scientific term of sorts :P Here's the definition: The Faile effect: The effect seemed to consist of occasional circumstances where common, normally opaque objects ranging from one's forearm, to sheet metal, to furniture, would appear to turn partially transparent. More distant objects seemed to be visible through these structures, even to the extent of such details as printed characters. You can see the whole article at: http://www.amasci.com/freenrg/faile.html It's sort of interesting, I didn't know that such things happened.. :) Anyhow, Faile is free, open source, and I hope you like it, regardless of the name :P Regards, Adrien.
