We've had DVD and higher quality video for a long long time, and yet we still have what I like to call "postage stamp sized" video transferring around the 'net. Granted the number of users will only increase, but I think when all is said and done, new HD codecs will be a drop in the bandwidth bucket.
My writing class had an open topic presentation, and some friends of mine and I just did a presentation on the Business and Development elements of open source projects:)

In all seriousness... I recently made a proof-of-concept audio CD which contained every possible 16 bit audio sample- arranged linearly, and then chaotically. I'm going to be rich!
we are geeks. that mod is geeky. I personally have to make do with the old school hardware I can afford (my workstation is a celeron). I have confidence that any true/. reading geek (like the ones that used to read/. back when it was good) would agree that if some geek wants to experiment, and has a lot of money, and document it, that's perfectly OK. there is no room for "common sense economic judgment" in a technical environment like/. should be.
much thanks. did you check out the first link of mine?
it was some research for a class I took this summer, the final project was to design a decasteljau bezier printing system in 100% ARM7 assembly, using the stack as a parameter passing mechanism (quite tough with recursion). I have the code if anyone is interested.
because ghostscript is a rendering system, not a nearly a new format. let alone the fact that it is severely lacking in the power of what's needed. I'm not even sure you could run fonts from a ghostscript spec;)
it's amazing that a mathemetician (two actually, decasteljau and bezier) came up with bezier curves to assist designing automobiles. their power is so incredible, like in this instance, they are still very common today.
the decasteljau algorithm for determining what points on a bezier curve are is quite simple. the bezier curve takes four input XY pairs (p0,1,2,and 3), which is why they're called cubic beziers, as opposed to the similar three pointed quadratic spline (like the directional arrows on some atlases). anyways, getting back to the algorithm:
;check distance between p0 and p3 ;if distance>threshold, print values
;Compute p01. (p0+p1)/2
;Compute p12. (p1+p2)/2
;Compute p23. (p2+p3/2)
;Compute P012 (p01+p12)/2
;Compute P123 (p12+p23)/2
;Compute P0123. (P012+P123)/2
;call DeCasteljau (p0,p01,p012,p0123)
;call DeCasteljau (p0123,p123,p23,p3) -- so basically, one generates two pairs (left and right) of points, and a recursive call is made with each. . the implications of such a simple yet elegant system in 3d beziers is amazing. this site has many resources : http://www.daimi.au.dk/~mbl/cgcourse/wiki/curves_a nd_surfaces.html

This reminds me of our drive to h2k2 last month. on the way to the trains tation, we ran an LPFM broadcaster in our car (driven by a minidisc player). We drove through connecticut with a sign in the window that said something to the effect of "107.1 FM w00t?"...
ironically, we attended the LPFM talk at the con itself, which was pretty good./me lix mobile pirate radio for hackers... to bad we didnt have a mobile radio show with the mic/preamp that we had.

163 Techies? That sample is *way* too small. Any self respecting editor should discard this, especially such a headline.
I hope they mean offline multiplayer. The Wiimote latency is bad enough. If I have a lightsaber I dont want it going through a plastic straw.

Elements.
Not analysis.
This isn't a paper, it's notes from a presentation. A presentation for a writing class, you clod.
You're obnoxious.

This clearly depends on the width to height ratio. Where do you get 50?

could you give that in a better format?
