  1. Re:NYT: Atomic Activity in North Korea Raises Conc on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    It's kind of funny that it took the same amount of time for Bush to let people know "they suspected something like this" around the same time the news sources find out about it. I've been reading 1984, doublethink anyone?

  2. Re:Am I the only one.... on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    It's still a small link on World page, much smaller than the WORLD MOURNS 9/11 VICTIMS that is accompanied by images.

    Well the CBS is reporting it as well, without images or any more details than yahoo however. Of course CNN's main page is covered with HURRICANE SEASON EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN BE AFRAID EVEN IF THERE IS NO HURRICANE ANYWHERE NEAR HOW (ok so that's how I interpret the way they are presenting it) and remembering, honouring, mourning, etc September 11th stuff. If this cratar was big enough for satellites to see, I have no idea why major news corporations in the US aren't going "LOOK AT THIS".

  4. Am I the only one.... on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 4, Insightful

    wondering why this isn't all over the news? Where are the pictures, reports, I mean if there is a chance this was nuclear in origin than it is A BIG DEAL. I certainly want to know what the hell is going on over there.

    You may want to check what version of Java you have running, and what other processing you have running.

    But he hasn't. He still sticks with OpenGL, even after ditching C. (finally, even though the code I saw flashed on the screen in some interview video still looked like the C he's always written)

  9. Solar Power + wifi on Solar Powered Computers Planned for Rural India · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sounds like an interesting networking idea =)

  10. Re:Use as a video codec? on Presenting APNG: Like MNG, Only Better · · Score: 1

    I know abuot HuffYUV, but I have a thing for PNG.

  11. Re:Why I don't use PNG on Presenting APNG: Like MNG, Only Better · · Score: 1

    1x1 jpgs are pretty damn small, I don't see what I'd gain going to 8x8.... 310 bytes is the average size 8x8 is 350 bytes. Whoopdie do.

  12. Re:Why I don't use PNG on Presenting APNG: Like MNG, Only Better · · Score: 1

    I know JPG is lossy, but large portions of the same colour will stay the same. The colours just didn't match, even if I made the JPG with the least amount of compression possible.

    Apparently I haven't. Thanks!

  14. Re:Why I don't use PNG on Presenting APNG: Like MNG, Only Better · · Score: 1
    With GIF if I make a pixel in the image #0000ff I am *GUARANTEED* that it will match a DIV with a BACKGROUND-COLOR set to the same hex value.
    I've tried to do this with JPG myself that it didn't work in all cases, I usually have to use a 1x1 JPG of the colour for the background instead of just setting a colour... As the other posters have said, what package are you using to output PNGs? Sounds like their output is broken if you are having gamma issues (which means you're most likely using Photoshop, and it does have broken support for some of PNG's features)
  15. Use as a video codec? on Presenting APNG: Like MNG, Only Better · · Score: 1

    I'd be nice to use this as a video codec, I know mplayer has support for MPNG but I'd love to see a DirectShow version so I could use VirtualDub with it, lossless video would be great for video editing... (I might just end up writing a Directshow codec for MPNG, but DirectShow is such a COM/DX piece of crap I'd rather not have to figure out how to make it work)

  16. Re:Why I don't use PNG on Presenting APNG: Like MNG, Only Better · · Score: 1

    You should be aware that those aren't flaws in PNG, they are flaws in IE. PNGs can store their gamma, and I've never seen JPGs or GIFs look the same from one OS to another either...

    http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/07/10/144 7201&tid=165&tid=97 There is a linux version of PowerDVD. It's been reported on Slashdot too...

    I'm sure you lost so much money charging people to repair infected machines. The IT industry can benefits from viruses, however those who admin large networks and get hit SHOULD NOT BE IN AN ADMIN POSITION. Blaster was and is an easily avoidable virus to catch and remove!

    Why is this funny? "The deal" is that people have published manuals (that people have been buying, apparently) for software that does not come with a defacto-hardcopy one.
