Re:Page Zoom Performance
I'm meaning especially at about 120% or 130% zoom.
Look at that picture: http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=browserscalingyt3.png
On the left is displayed how Firefox 3 or Opera scales a picture, and on the right, how it should look if the developers had a clue. I really can't see how anyone with a sane mind could accept that kind of ugliness.
(How does IE7's scaling look? I'd hope they got at least that right...) -

Re:This is the Wii remote, minus functionality
I worked on an application using quite similar accelerometers, a few years ago. We used the ADXL103, while the Wiimote uses the ADXL303, which is basically the same sensor, but with three measured directions. What we tried to do was measuring distances - quite similar to the Wiimotes goals. What we found out, however, was, that the sensor just isn't exact enough to provide reliable velocity- or even position-Information. The problem is, that the provided accelaration-data have to be integrated (even twice, for position-measuring). That can't be done so easy, without adding up the noise as well. It wasn't too much of a problem in the end, because we needed the sensors for demo-purposes only, but that was the problem we found out. Here is a link to a picture. We used three sensors to measure X, Y and Z-directions, the lines should return to zero after the vibrations, but they didn't

Re:Who is the target audience?
Yeah, it seems really strange to me, too. Yesterday we received an email about Heroes Happen {2008}, and the whole concept (and especially the banner) immediately struck me as being stupid and childish. Are there really that many businesses who think things like this are entertaining or clever? To me it just seems like a really inappropriate way to communicate with a corporate customer. If it was say Debian or another organisation/company that I actually liked and "identified with", I'd be embarrassed if they were doing stuff like this.

4100 Lumen is certainly no world record holder...This thing is total weak sauce compared to some of the home-brew / modified flashlights people have over at the Candlepower forums. In fact one of them (Maxablaster) is featured in this month's Popular Science on the How2.0 page. Apparently Guinness will only consider production flashlights for their records.
Regardless, I'd link to some of them, but the forums there have enough time staying up as it is and they don't need the extra traffic. Here's a beam shot of the Maxablaster shining on some clouds 4 miles up. http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spotoncloud2dp4ta1.jpg

Re:Good in some ways...
Yeah you know, I suppose the difference is what part of the standard each browser supports, because most web sites don't display exactly the same in every browser, be it opera or konqueror or firefox.
For instance, slashdot.org looks like an ass now on firefox, you can't even see the hidden comments headline.. example:

Re:Be still my beating heart!
no, but it's uncanny you should post that. here's the deal, I've been using mechanical turk to complete HIT's (basically like break CAPTCHA's, or any other task you can't automate well, sometimes OCR, "what would a person search for who wanted to find", etc etc.) I have like $30 like that, but as you can see from the screenshots:
as HIT completer
as HIT requester (same account
I can't use that balance to request hits of my own! I have to charge as little as $1 into a requester account to use it, which is total bullshit because it's the same system.
Anyway I don't have a credit card, but I'd like a requester account with $1 so I can try some automation ($1 will be enough, because HITs are like a penny each), and in exchange I can code something simple for you in Python or Perl, or C or C++, or maybe do some resarch for you with Google if you don't have time to find something but know it's online, maybe differently phrased or something. Or anything else like that. (help you QA something -- i was an intern before as as a qa 'engineer' before, ie test your software, or anything else)
If you (or anyone) is up for that, please reply with an obfuscated e-mail so we can talk.
(p.s. of course you can just add $1 and then remove your payment method again, you dont have to trust me with your cc number, and you can even do that once i've coded for you or whatever)
Thanks a lot! -

Re:I'll wait for the behardware review.It's funny you mention that. I'm not sure about PVA, but if I got S-IPS instead of S-PVA I'd be pissed. The original S-IPS is worse at color reproduction, has over twice the black level, and much smaller viewing angles than a S-PVA or S-MVA screen. Some of the extremely high end IPS types (AS-IPS and H-IPS) come pretty close to a good S-PVA/MVA in black level and color gamut, but still not quite there. You also still get bad viewing angles. Sort of. It's true that IPS is worse when it comes to black level and contrast (gamut is irrelevant for anyone but photo professionals), but the viewing angles are much better than on VA panels.
TN panels mostly suffer from vertical shift. Even when you look at the monitor dead-on, the top of the screen is darker, and the bottom is lighter. You cannot move your head in such a way to prevent it from happening.
VA panels have horizontal color shifting. When you look at the monitor dead-on, the sides will be coloured differently (the right is usually OK, but the left is washed out - you won't notice it THAT much on a 20", but go 24" or larger, and it's always there). There is another problem with VA, and that's the disappearance of dark details at the part of the screen you are looking at perpendicularly.

Re:Phishing
> And also because HTTP authentication dialogs are quite "spoofable" anyway.
This reminds me of something I've been meaning to investigate for a while now.
If you use Firefox to store your passwords for various sites using its password manager, you have the option of setting a "Master Password" - a password that is used to encrypt your stored passwords on disk as a security precaution. Each time you start an instance of firefox, if you browse to a site for which you have a stored password, firefox will ask you for the master password so it can decrypt the stored password for the site and autocomplete it for you.
So, this is my concern - how hard would it be to fake this security dialogue with javascript and store whatever the user entered?

Value invert versus plain-old invert
No! You don't get it. There is a difference between VALUE invert (i.e., creating a new adjustment -> Invert layer and setting it to LUMINOSITY and then masking it via layer transparency if needed) and plain-old invert. Sometimes you need to invert the colors without inverting the values, so in GIMP you would use filters->something->value invert, which would only invert the luminosity.
I know these don't look like much, but obviously desktop screenshots aren't the best example.

Re:Firefox Seems To Losing Its Luster
Opera 9.24 on Leopard - http://img180.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bild2qs0.png
Memory usage are decent, thought I restarted opera yesterday so it's sort of cheating, a few of those tabs are new ones since then (I guess the undo feature uses some ram..), two days ago I had 5 days uptime I belive and 68 tabs or whatever it was and around 960MB ram for Opera. But since then I have also blocked quite a few ads, I would assume it's this fucking annoying flash bullshit which eats (mac) browsers, just look at the CPU usage, over 90% of my C2D 2.2GHz?, that's like 4GHz of core 2 power or probably equivalent to 7GHz P4 or something, for FLASH BULLSHIT IN A FUCKING BROWSER!?! I hate flash, but I want to occasionally be able to look at youtube, if it wasn't for that I would install that crap. Some webpages use that crap aswell but I guess I could survive without shitty webpages. Oh please bring back the days of linked quicktime files or atleast embeded streaming clips. I just hope someone makes a H264 youtube client so one don't need the browser.
Anyway I may switch back to firefox if it at some time gets better than Opera, but I doubt it's there atm so I have no reason to.

Not for me
My workstation at work is so far and beyond anything that i have at home that replicating what i can do at my desk at home is impossible. I do mainly graphic design work, so a really big workspace is pretty important. Sure, my little tiny laptop can run gimp and scribus just fine, but it is just really really ineffective for getting any actual work done. Usually if I want/need to get work done (I really enjoy my job), I will just drive into work. Security is here 24/7...and sometimes the best work gets done in the middle of the night and on the weekends (at least for me).
So yes, I have the ABILITY to remotely log into work, but aside from the occasional session on our As/400 machine, or SSH session on one of our linux servers (which is usually just me goofing around with perl anyhow, or messing with openvpn) i don't really do ANY work from home...
