Perhaps you could use last.fm and listen to the radio of users with a highly eclectic taste.

I second that.

I have heard of D before, but now I went for a closer look, and just fell in love with it.
I'm currently writing a Qonk clone in D, it's very elegant and comfortable to work with.

The major problem is that it can't bind with C++ libraries (plain C works ok, my game even uses SDL, and I already tested a small OpenGL program too.)

See an overview of D, and read about it's contract implementation.

It was BW. They used the spectral information from the DISR device (think of it as a single pixel of full very accurate color) and then used it to interpolate color for a whole image. Anywho, it's bizarre but the highest quality polished images didn't seem to come from the DISR group (bleech) but instead from amateurs, mere hours after descent no less. One should keep in mind this is all through an 1 byte/sec link from the probe....

Here are all of the processed pictures from the leikens site, without bothering to properly mirror the site. They don't allow deep linking, so here you can play with just the images. For proper credits see the liekens site.

Your subject line implied there'd be pictures with regards to whoring, however all I found were some strange landscapes.

In any case, the link is actaully http://anthony.liekens.net/huygens_static.html

it's not very good karma whoring when you accidentely put an extra / at the end of the URL!

This is better!

No, I think he actually meant:
http://anthony.liekens.net/huygens_static.html :p

Much larger images than on the nature.com page:

Enjoy!

Hmm, even more here btw...

I'm already linked to on this page, but I've taken the liberty of cropping out and separating the individual
camera views, which should make them more suitable for creating composites and panoramas:

Besides panoramas and animations, it might also be interesting to try to subtract out image artifacts and dust.

I head that to the naked eye the surface of Titan would look more like a full moon-lit night on Earth.

They never said Titan was a sea. They said it *might* have sea(s), and that if it did, Huygens might land in it, but it also has a solid surface, and Huygens could just as well land on that instead. Plus, some of those pictures look very much like seashores. This for example.

The captions on one of the sites talk about that, and this certainly looks like it, but am I the only one who sees what looks like small craters in in the "water"? Kind of hard to describe their locations, but there's one near the top-right corner of the image I linked to. Even so, it definitely looks like liquid, especially with the rivers.
