  1. via the FAQ on Visual Hash Turns Text Or Data Into Abstract Art · · Score: 2

    Vash makes extensive use of structure, intensity, and position in its image generation. Despite its visually striking and distinctive impact, color plays only a small role in differentiating between Vash images.

  2. Re:OK on DIY Sound-Activated High-Speed Photography · · Score: 1

    In the video he said he knew the Arduino was unnecessary for the current task, but he planned on expanding the project. He also wanted to turn out the lights in the room.

  3. Fastest supercomputer for how long? on China Makes World's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Is this faster than Blue Waters at NCSA is going to be in 2011?

    I reject your reality and substitute my own.

  5. Another use: on Researchers Convert Mouth Movements Into Speech · · Score: 1

    Find out what someone is saying across the room. See what people are talking about that they don't want you to hear. Or just be nosy. Sure, the camera probably has to be really close to a mouth to work correctly, but that doesn't prevent a determined snoop to surreptitiously video someone's face and then use some editing software to zoom in on the mouth and/or get rid of all the other useless information.

  6. Re:ti in the past never really supported assembly/ on TI-Nspire Hack Enables User Programming · · Score: 1

    True. It is also possible to program in z80 asm for at least the 83/84. I messed around with that a bit. Just download the appropriate software, assemble the code on your pc and send it to the calculator. It's really great if you can get an emulator working so you don't have to constantly mess with the TI linking software for every debug/test, and of course the possibility of bricking your calculator inherent with assembly. Ah, good times.

    Does anyone see some child porn charges coming here?

  9. Re:Experience paper on Go For a Masters, Or Not? · · Score: 1

    Even fresh out of school with a B.S. you still have no experience. When applying with a B.S. you'll still be competing against other people with experience.

  10. Extensions on Windows 7 Users Warned Over Filename Security Risk · · Score: 1

    In most explorer views isn't there a little thumbnail that shows an image of a type of file? Partyinvite.doc.exe would show a cmd window probably, instead of a blue W. Either way, you should be able to tell what type of file it is.

  11. Re:Latency on Telepresence — Our Best Bet For Exploring Space · · Score: 2, Informative

    That was an attempted reference to the Enderverse. Apologies if I sounded condescending.

  12. Re:Latency on Telepresence — Our Best Bet For Exploring Space · · Score: 4, Funny

    You mean you still haven't figured out about the ansible?

  13. One minor problem... on Japanese Astronaut Tests Stink-Free Underwear · · Score: 1

    Yes, even if this does work, you still have to deal the stench from the actual body. But maybe this just means you can shower as normal, yet only own one set of clothing. Hmm, the possibilities.

  14. Seems to be a trend on "Live Expansion" Announced for Warhammer Online · · Score: 1

    It seems like more and more games are doing this now. Recently Team Fortress 2 added achievements to get new weapons. They are also creating new maps. Are these game devs trying to give gamers more incentive to play? ...or just upping the user experience?
