Seeing Around Corners With Dual Photography

An anonymous reader writes "This project (which is part of this year's SIGGRAPH) has absolutely blown my mind. Basically they photograph an object with the photosensor at one point, and the light projector at another, and use the Helmholtz reciprocity algorithm to virtually switch the locations of the camera and projector, showing exactly what the light source "sees"! If that doesn't make sense to you, check out the research page and make sure to watch the 60MB video at the bottom. The playing card trick will leave you speechless!"

Re:Why don't the editors link to mirrordot?

Why do you need to link to mirrordot if the original is hosted at Stanford?!

Files are for people who use editors

[smittyoneeach]

Of course, real men don't actually use an editor, instead going for the minimal number of processes possible.
You need to get into power user mode, using only the shell operators like > and >>, plus the occasional cat and sed, to effect editing.
If no one is looking, you can use less for an actual glance at what you're editing.
That little burning sensation you feel if you stoop to using less? That's pride. Fsck pride. Wuss.

Real men don't need less. Real men cat. And we can hit that pause key fast! less is for old koreans.

crap, you can explain it in a paragraph

No need to buy anything from Amazon.

Assuming you're fingering the girl, rotate your hand so it's palm up. Then, with the appropriate digit, curl the finger upwards and towards you in a "come hither" kind of motion. Repeat as necessary. On many girls you can actually feel the bundle of nerves as your fingertip strokes over it. This technique will either nail it right on or get you close enough, in which case the girl should be able to talk you through the precise location. Assuming she can talk, that is.

Here's another one for you: At the same time you're doing this, you can actually place the other hand palm down, on the outside below her waist, thereby massaging the g-spot from the outside at the same time. One rave review: "I don't want to know where you learned how to do that."

Here's hoping this turns into the most widely-read -1 Offtopic post ever.

Mirrordotted.

why stop at the G-spot?

[Anonymous Coward]

You're sitting there anyway, some drool coming out of your mouth: Am I really doing this? Why not put that spit to good use and lick her clit?

What do you like more: having yous balls tickled, your dick sucked, or both at the same time? It is not so hard you can only do one thing at the time.

You might want to take it easier if your girl can one come once per session, then you would not want to waste it all in one blow...

It's not funny. It's just ironic. Sheesh, why can't people understand humour...
