I'm always confused why none of the free/open projects have followed the path of extracting objects from video tracking vs photos. I've had pro software for years now that will pull a point cloud off a video.
I actually tried that with 123D Catch. I shot a continuous video around an object and then extracted a string of frames for use by 123D Catch.
What pro software are you using? I remember one that uses a printout with certain markers on it that you put under the object to help tracking.
Actually some headphones do block noise, by having a mic and playing the reverse sound (180 degrees out of phase).
Agreed. I use both the Sony "over the ear" and "in the ear" style with active noise cancellation and they work very well. This would be the cheapest solution, although inconvenient.
What is needed is a dual pane window where the panes are not parallel. Tipping the top of the outer pane outward de-tunes the drum, and reduces sound transmission by quite a bit
Agreed again, although more expensive. If possible use two different thicknesses of glass as well. This way, sounds that resonate one sheet will not resonate the other. As you said, mount them non-parallel, both on the vertical and horizontal axes. Float the glass in a soft mounting (like a silicone) so they won't pass vibration to the frames and frame of the house. Mount the inner glass non-parallel to the facing wall as well.
Adding baffles to your interior HVAC ducting will keep sound from passing from room to room.
If there is ventilation to the outside, try to baffle the venting (without blocking the airflow) as it comes into the house.
It's clear he should just stick with what he is good at: making money by any means necessary
Awww, you're being too hard on him. He can be hilarious at times.
Remember when he said, "We will not let China continue to steal jobs from the United States of America?" This is the same guy who outsourced American jobs to China when he was at Bain!"
He wasn't joking. Read it. "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there's no place to go, exactly, there's no, and you can't find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don't open. I don't know why they don't do that. It's a real problem."
He also needs the windows to open so he can look out and check on the dog.
Then there's the question of why he had 13 and 14 year old girls' in his blackberry.
In the article it said he was a swim coach, and they were girls he coached. That would explain why they were in his phone. But it could also indicate that, like some pederasts, he wanted an occupation that would bring him into contact with kids.
Then there's the question of why a 13 or 14 year old even has a phone
Most kids have high-tech smart phones these days. Except Amish kids. Theirs are carved out of wood.
...made stronger by the fact that the producer hid the true content of the film from the cast and crew until it was released; by then, it was too late to revoke their appearances or exercise their legal rights.
A typical movie release covers stuff like this:
"I hereby waive all rights and release and discharge Production Company from, and shall neither sue nor bring any proceeding against any such parties for, any claim, demand or cause of action whether now known or unknown, for defamation, invasion of right to privacy, publicity or personality or any similar matter, or based upon or relating to the use and exploitation of the Pictures."
I understand that...other parties may reveal, information about me that is of a personal, private, embarrassing or unfavorable nature, which information may be factual and/or fictional. I further understand that my appearance, depiction and/or portrayal in the Program may be disparaging, defamatory, embarrassing or of an otherwise unfavorable nature which may expose me to public ridicule, humiliation or condemnation.
"...the perpetual right to use or to put the finished pictures, negatives, reproductions and copies or the original prints and negatives of him/her and any sound track recordings, and recordings which may be made of him/her voice, including the right to substitute the voice of other persons for his/her voice, his/her name, or likeness, in or in connection with the exhibition, advertising, exploitation, or any other use of such motion picture or recording of his/her voice, to any legitimate use that may deem proper."
Most include even more stuff about; digitally altering your appearance, using body doubles (so they can make it look like you were naked, or having sex,) etc.
It's very unlikely they didn't sign one of these, especially if the producer knew he was going to be doing with this footage.
Yes because Obama is so much smarter, and I quote "Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states?", ROFL...WTF? Romaney asking about jetliner windows stupid, yes, obama thinking there is 57 states that goes beyond stupid...mentally r******* comes to mind. haha 57 states...
...he corrected himself right after in the same speech. He was thinking of the 50 states, minus Hawaii and Alaska.
Unfortunately, Romney's wasn't a slip of the tongue, he really didn't know....
No study of reading by the general population, as far as I am aware, has shown more than a tiny difference between serifs and sans serifs in either direction.
No. Not a tiny difference. About a 5 times advantage.
Read Wheildon's "Type & Layout: How Typography and Design Can Get Your Message Across-Or Get in the Way" sometime. It's recent (1995), and based on well constructed experiments.
In one of his tests, Wheildon found "...of 112 readers who read an article without difficulty in serif type, 67 showed poor comprehension after they had read a similar article of direct interest set in sanserif type. Of these, 53 complained strongly about the difficulty of reading the type, 11 said the task caused them discomfort (eye tiredness) and 32 said the type was merely hard to read."
... you have simply latched on to a couple of convenient summaries of relatively recent research findings that I happened to quote, cherry picked evidence even there, and then ignored the fact that essentially all of the serious studies found that if there was any significant difference between the readability of serif and sans serif work for a general audience, it was at most a small difference in whichever direction.
Yes, I cherry picked the ones that supported my claim, and you cherry picked the ones that supported yours. Claiming the ones you cherry picked are the "serious studies" (so of course, the ones I cherry picked must be those 'frivolous' studies quoted in the same paper) is inane.
Tell you what, Mr. Typeface. Why don't you go down to your local library, and read all the many, many books they have there that are set in san-serif fonts.
I'm not even going to get into the fact that the Senate is controlled by democrats and they have refused to even take up legislation that came from the house...
At least the house Republicans hasn't been wasting their time voting down Obama's new healthcare law...
...except for the, you know, the 33 times they have. Knowing that it was a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
Yes, Obama was personally in charge of putting together a presentation slideshow backdrop. He also handled all the travel arrangements, prepared all of the food at the convention, and swept up afterward. No wonder he looks so tired all the time!
Hilarious! I'm pretty sure Obama personally shot the pictures, composed and arraigned the music, and changes the light bulbs in the hall, too.
But seriously, Romney wasn't joking about the jetliner windows. He really couldn't figure out why they don't let you open them in flight. This is the guy we want setting our space policy? Our national science policy? And (worst) our national educational policy? A guy who thinks God lives on planet Kolob?
Actual quote:
“When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no; and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous.”
...so for Romney supporters, you have a choice. You can admit this quote was serious, which makes Romney pretty dumb; or you can pretend he was 'joking' which makes him stunningly un-funny.

I know you're all thinking it, so I don't even need to post the actual thought...
Awesome times would be when they can grow a vagina on my hand.
But it would be even worse when you can't get that one to put out either...
More accurately, it builds a 3D model from a lot of photos.
More accurately, it builds inaccurate 3D models from a lot of photos. (But it is free and fun!)
The biggest problem I ran into with it is shiny objects (which it warns against) but almost everything I wanted to model is shiny.
Have you tried 123D Catch from Autodesk? It builds a 3D model from a few photos. Free:

Buy an iPhone. Problem solved...
...because you will just sit motionless in one spot, softly murmuring praise of your iPhone, until the battery dies.
FTFY
...You mean, the Mayans miscalculated by one year?
I doubt it. The Mayans are experts at predicting and avoiding disaster and extinction.
Just ask one.

It's a lot more awkward to ask your coworker to join you for "0.473 of a liter" after work than to join you for a pint.
Not here in the US.
Here we ask for "354.882 milliliters of your best, barkeep!"
Oh, and if you love the TSA so much why don't you marry it, etc.
Why buy the cow, when she will strip off your shoes and grope your naked body orifices for free?
It's obvious Romney was trying to be funny.

Most kids have high-tech smart phones these days. Except Amish kids. Theirs are carved out of wood.
Most criminal code require both the act (in this case the text) and the intent.
'Intent' may be hard to prove in this case.
At least you still have paedophiles.

Look for use of term "teabagger" or other sexual slang instead of reasoned argument.
Wait... there's a use of "teabagger" that's NOT sexual slang?
No wonder that guy in front of the grocery store with the clipboard was so offended by my request...
It's literally impossible to use the internet without using an alias.
...unless your Mom actually named you: "Anonymous Coward" !
I can understand his motivations for lying about his name.
He had used fake names as part of his original scamming, and one condition of his probation was NOT to use false names.

Bush never asserted the right to have US citizens killed at his own discretion
That's just cause he couldn't find anybody!!!
