  1. It's too damned slow on Could LaTeX Replace HTML? · · Score: 1

    If your latex file contains a few graphics and several pages it can take absolutely ages to generate a .ps file from it.

    Dunno about you, but the web's slow enough as it is imho..

  2. Re:Frame rates on 3dfx' Voodoo5 6000 Still Alive · · Score: 1
    Well, TV is interleaced anyhow. So alternate scan lines are draw at 60hz. Whereas, chances are your PC monitor isn't (you can get higher resolutions using this, but it looks awfull). TVs are blurrier at the pixel level, and so this isn't noticable.

    Also, monitors tend to be optimised for viewing text, not moving images, so they are sharper, hence jerkiness becomes more noticable.

    And finally (This has probably already been pointed out..), As most TV stuff is gererated from a camera (or cgi simulating one), that has a finite exposure time, there will be some motion blur, so movement appears smoother.

    All this, basically means that in order for moving stuff to look good on a monitor, you need a higher framerate. -Steve

    I thought hash tables were O(n), where n is the length of your key? But given the average length of a key, this is pretty insignificant and I'll shut up now.. -Steve
