  1. Re:The Filter on Wolfram's 2,3 Turing Machine Not Universal · · Score: 1

    Mathworld says affinity is another word for affine transform, which of course doesn't make sense here.

  2. Re:Who's "we"? on Will the iPod Ever Die? · · Score: 1
    Steve Jobs has sunk to 'selling sugar water.'
    To set the record straight, the full quote is: "do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world?"

    The fact is, he's done more the latter than the former, and I'd like to see anyone argue it. The quote is not that hypocritical.

    The base

    O!
    Amazing, you are one and one
    and one
    over two! and one over three!
    and
    one over four! and all the rest.
    Raising
    to the i pi power, and one,
    you equal zero.

    (I haven't written a poem in years. I definitely did something wrong. Pick me apart.)

  5. Re:Good for them. on Toy Story 3 Scrapped · · Score: 1

    Maybe this book will interest you. It argues that every story shares essentially the elements that you just listed out, but the retelling of these stories is what's important. It's a good read.

  6. Re:true that - and another thing on Ars Technica Reviews Intel iMacs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I read somewhere that they tried shooting the second season of the original Twilight Zone in 60 fps video, over 24 fps film, in order to save money. The experiment lasted six episodes, the result being so bad that they eventually ditched the idea and went back to 24 fps. It depends entirely on what mood the movie tries to create. Yes, frame rate matters. No, one isn't always better than the other.

  7. Re:ATI had better watch out... on ATI Launches Crossfire... Finally · · Score: 1

    ...and ATi launches Crossfire, which is a nuanced multi-GPU solution that is named after the stray bullets that hit innocent bystanders in a gang fight.
