I'd still like to see how big the install footprint of this OS would be. 1.5 GB would be riciculous for one that can't open more than three programs at once.
Well, considering a Windows XP desktop is running about at least 18 processes, it's probably limiting it by software that shows up in the taskbar in the same way that only programs that show in the task bar show up in the "Applications" list in Task Manager.
Of course, you're joking. Your comment finally reached "Funny" by the time I'm about to post this.
Well, I was being serious about it because they had to put the cartoon on video store shelves in a format that would play. I did find it kind of ridiculous that the Happy Tree Friends DVD was in 5.1 surround, which it fully utilized. That's something they probably concentrated on considering regular Flash cartoons tend to be around 11 kHz and not really use stereo that much.
It's also worth noting that the increase in lines and decrease in framerate in PAL as compared to NTSC conteract each other exactly so that they use the same data rate. Because the pixel clock is the same, that extra 1/6th means there's time to draw 48 extra lines (at VCD quality, 352x240 NTSC, 352x288 PAL).
You must be new here. Everything is offtopic and/or flamebait unless proven otherwise. None of the mods here have a sense of humor at all and can't take an obvious joke. But they can mod +5 the guy who took it seriously.
I actually just got to watch the DVD of Happy Tree Friends, which is originally a flash web cartoon series. There's over 2 hours of disgusting violence, but they managed to fit it down to 4.0 GB because the animation was around 5-10 fps. Thus, they were able to retain a lot of quality with a low bitrate.
(I know MPEG streams can only go down to about 24 fps, it's all about frame type orders and using a lot of the type that repeat frames)
Do you really know that little about OO formats or is this a joke?
You're getting warmer. Sweet baby Jesus operating a forklift! When you read comic strips, do you occupy yourself by looking for inconsistencies?
Laugh or look elsewhere, just don't take a joke as a piece of technical information and get pissed at me for presenting it. This goes for the moderators, too.
That's a bit of an oversimplification compared to dictionary.com's definition. You have to think about why it would be unnecessary. Of course, the reason for this is because something that is repetitive and excessive is naturally considered unnecessary. Heck, look at the latin word it was derived from. Nothing about "unnecessary" in there.
Slashdot Mirror
The news article doesn't really have any technical information on ELF, so here's the obligatory Wikipedia article.
Of course, the first haphazard search I tried came up with this.
This shouldn't take as much of a surprise to the average Counterstrike player. I imagine the two most likely responses are:
CS Player #1: You could play deathmatch in Half-Life?
CS Player #2: I play this Counterstrike thing all the time, but what the heck is Half-Life? It didn't come on my Counterstrike CD I bought at CompUSA!
Does it provide any significant insight not already published about the movies?
The more reviews, the better, I say! Please excuse me, I have to go back to writing my Doom 3 review now.
...or the (yuck) Camry.

They're almost as bad as an American car company!
I don't know if it still is this way, but for a while, a lot of Dodge cars were part Mitsubishi.

This is akin to an OS without a GUI.
This is Slashdot. Would people want anything else here, what with insulting references to GUIs such as "point and drool"?

Great, if I ever get taken in for questioning and the investigator says while holding up a photo, "Do you know this guy?" I'll just say, "Meshoono!"
Depends on the resolution. I prefer to watch my Simpsons episodes in 191000076 x 108000054.
That's a lot of interlacing! You dizzy from the wobbly lines?

Why is parent modded flamebait?

I was thinking more along the lines of actually fitting Debian Sarge on one disc.
If not semiconductors, what controls that there hard drive as well as the data transfer method between it and the rest of the computer?
Even Commodore 64s had drive logic.

Yeah, yeah, it's a joke, but every show plus the never-aired "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" fits on 7 dual layer DVDs. Think bigger.
If only you did need 1 terabyte to store Family Guy...damn cancellation.
It sounds like an MS Knowledge Base article.
Problem: Flash mobs are threat to celebrities
Solution: Ensure celebrities do not exist.

Then what will I do to get my morning Clippy Fix.

Everybody should have at least two if possible. You can't get by nowadays with just one.
It must have had embedded XML images in them.
