In a DDS file can you detect textures with 0/1 alpha bits?

In my engine I have a need to be able to detect DXT1 textures that have texels with 0 alpha (e.g. a cutout for a window frame). This is easy for textures I compress myself, but I'm not sure about textures that are already compressed. Is there an easy way to tell from the header whether a DDS image contains alpha? ...

Fast Disk Cloning

Is there a way to have Linux read ahead when cloning a disk? I use the program named "dd" to clone disks. The last time I did this it seemed as though the OS was reading then writing but never at the same time. Ideally, the destination disk would be constantly writing without waiting that's of course if the source disk can keep up. U...

I thought *.DDS files were meant to be quick to load!?

Ok, so I'm trying to weigh up the pro's and con's of using various different texture compression techniques. I spend 99.999% of my time coding 2D sprite games for Windows machines using DirectX. So far I have looked at texture packing (SpriteSheets) with alpha-trimming and that seems like a decent way to get a bit more performance. Now ...

But, here's how far I got with that idea... OK, it looks like I want this Texture2D class; then I can call myText...
