  1. Re:Why use Jpeg? on Video Codec Comparison · · Score: 1

    Of course I read the review. But if the purpose of the review is to compare the image quality of the codecs, why would you use a lossy format to show the screenshots. Especially since he noticed the problems himself.

    It would have been better to not show any screenshots at all than to show screenshots that distort the quality of the tested codecs.

    The first thing I did when I opened the article was check the "properties" of the first screenshot. When I saw that it was JPEG insead of PNG I immediately thought the review sucks.

    It's not like PNG is a new image format...

    F1 is a "gentleman's sport" and the guy who's winning the race will pull back on the last lap to let someone else win.

    That has appened only a few times, every time a team decision, and every time the media and fans have raised a big stink about it.

    Michael Schumacher was really embarassed when Rubens Barrichello was ordered to let him win. And Rubens let him pass on the last lap, just before the finish line, just to let everyone know that it was a team decision.

    And I was ready to try the client, but it wouldn't accept my email-address, because it has a "+" sign in it, and I couldn't find a contact address where I could have reported the problem.

  12. Re:How about picking the types of content to crawl on Building a Bigger Search Engine · · Score: 1

    I like the idea. But it shuld benefit the community as well, so it should crawl something like 80% community assigned pages, and 20% "my" pages. That would still benefit the user much more than he deserves.

    The film projectors "flash" each frame of the film multiple times to reduce the flicker-effect. So the real frequency could be 48, 62, or even 96 fps.

    It's not like the genre or the rough plot is a secret. And you don't have to go to the first screening of the movie, wait a week and read the reviews. Then decide if you still want to see the movie.

    Shame that the 7110 sucked otherwise. Laggiest UI ever. It's my current phone, BTW. Getting a 6800 (the one with the foldable qwerty-keyboard) tomorrow...

    you could buy a cell phone, digital camera, and PDA, all of which will have better specs than the phone.

    I want my cell phone to be tiny so I can have it at the bottom of a pocket and forget about it.

    Would your phone, superior digital camera, superior pda and if you skimp a bit on the camera and PDA, superior mp3 player be small enough to have at the bottom of a pocket?

    And you don't have to buy this phone. Vote with your wallet. Buy a simpler, possibly even non-Nokia phone. Buy a camera, a pda and an mp3 player. Use the power of free market.

    Nokia is specialized in crappy arrowkeys. The arrow-keys on the 9210 Communicator suck, the ones on 3650 suck, the joystick on 7650 isn't much better.

    It is sad that the primary navigation device is sacrificed for stylishness.
