  1. Re:Google should give Gmail some love on Google Releases Source To Chromium OS · · Score: 2, Informative

    Use advanced search or learn the syntax.

  2. AMD vs Intel on 100 Million-Core Supercomputers Coming By 2018 · · Score: 1

    It's interesting that 4 of top 5 supercomputers are running AMD, while 402 of the Top500 are running Intel.

    What's the cause of this? Value? Energy-saving? Performance?

  3. Re:Source? on Google Brings Chrome Renderer, Speedy Javascript To IE · · Score: 1

    But where can I get the source code of the plugin itself? (I mean, not the rendering engine for this plugin, but the IE plugin part that glues it to IE)
    Can't find it in the Google Code page.

    Follow the links on the Chromium project: http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/chrome_frame/

  4. Re:Recycling? on Build Your Own Render Farm · · Score: 1

    ...and also a waste of power.

  5. Possible Method... on Choosing Better-Quality JPEG Images With Software? · · Score: 1

    I just thought of a possible way to compare...

    Assuming both JPEG aren't at the lowest (or very low) quality:

    1. Take image A, create 10 or 20 more copies using different levels of quality (5, 10, 15, and so on).
    2. Compare each of them with image A, from lowest to highest quality.
    3. Stop where the diff no longer change with the previous image, then we can assume image A is at the previous image's quality level.

    Do the same with image B.

  6. Re:File size on Choosing Better-Quality JPEG Images With Software? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    File size may not be accurate if it has been converted multiple times at different quality, or if the source is actually lower quality.

    The only way to properly compare is if you have the original as the control.

    If you compare between 2 different JPEG quality images, the program won't know which parts are the artifacts. You still have to decide yourself...

    You can call it a Blag if you like...

  8. Re:How can we help? on The Pirate Bay Seeks Interesting Route To "Pay" Fine · · Score: 4, Funny

    ^^^ Just my 2 cents.

    Sorry, but you need 13 cents (USD) to help~

  9. Re:first post! on Is a $72.5m Opening Weekend Enough For Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    That is correct, 35mm will have more resolution you ever need to transfer to 1080p.

    However, I do notice when viewing older movies ( 90s) in HD, there is more noise (film grain). Perhaps back then the cameras and lenses aren't as good as they are now. HD resolution makes the picture sharper, but also the noise will be more noticeable...

  10. Today I Die on Storytelling In Games and the Use of Narration · · Score: 1

    Here's a short indy game that has unique storytelling and gameplay, using interactive poetry: Today I Die.

  11. Small Brains on Hobbits' Brains Shrank Due To Remote Home · · Score: 1

    Well at least you'll be less attractive to zombies when you have smaller brain...

  12. Re:LHC on Star Trek's Warp Drive Not Impossible · · Score: 3, Funny

    You can take a superconducting magnet from the LHC to build your own warp drive. Just be careful not to fail the test after the aliens notice us.

  13. Re:No on Would You Pay For YouTube Videos? · · Score: 1

    Why not, if what you're paying is for full TV show episodes, or movies, all of them in 720p. Not going to be bad at all. Youtube also needs to provide a download option, or unlimited # of viewing per account.

  14. Re:Release it anyway on Konami Cuts and Runs From Iraq War Game · · Score: 1

    Why not just change the name and the story and release it?

    Or, turn it to a documentary movie or a machinima.

  15. Re:Life imitating art? on Twitter Considered Harmful To Swine-Flu Panic · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The xkcd forum users actually registered and recreated those tweets on the comic: listing.

  16. Re:It Is Rated R! #6 for Opening Weekend! on Watchmen 50 Days On, Was It Worth the Gamble? · · Score: 2, Informative

    For the love of all things binary, I thought it was common knowledge that you cannot compare rated R movies to PG-13 movies. Every single Batman & Spider-man movie has been rated below R.

    Let's compared it with Sin City then. Data from imdb:

    Watchmen
    Released: March 6, 2009
    Budget: $100,000,000 (estimated)

    Opening Weekend

    Sin City

    Opening Weekend

  19. Prevent Over Logging on Could the Internet Be Taken Down In 30 Minutes? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Today we take the Internet for granted, but it could go down any time from over logging. We have to prevent this by using the Internet when truly necessary, and to only view Internet porn twice a day... max.

  20. Google has been doing it... on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 1

    Yep, you missed it.

    For the first and only time, something that has "leaked" to the internet has been completely and utterly removed from it. You need to be quicker next time.

    You're wrong.

    Google has been doing this since a couple of weeks ago with their Gmail's Undo sent mail. When you Undo a sent mail, Google will stop the internet, grab your email from its recipient, then resumes the internet!
