Good point. As for the point-spread function I figured it could be accurately simulated knowing precisely the probe's trajectory wrt Enceladus and the camera's orientation and exposure time.
Clipping doesn't do much to a sine wave in the last octave
Spoken like someone who needs to get a clue. It has nothing to do with harmonics by the way, only with the difference between the non-clipped and the clipped signal.
Reminds me that lots of UFOs reported by pilots and military personal are reported to be surrounded by plasma. So if the aliens use that to achieve their blazing speed we must be on the right direction.
Gee, great, because you know most geeks only love computers and don't have diverse interests.
What.. what the hell are you doing? You can't just go around talking about how people are not all just the stereotype attributed to the category they fall into! What's the matter with you? That's more anti-American than eating a snail kebab while reading Oscar Wilde! Of course geeks only care about technology and science fiction, hate sports, get abused by "jocks" and can't get with a girl! Don't you ever watch The Big Bang Theory and such shows? That's how geeks are on TV, and TV *is* to an important extent our perception of reality.
What sort of drivel is to be expected from you next? Are you going to tell us that "jocks" aren't all just a bunch of buffy and cruel idiots with complexes who only enjoy football, locking "geeks" into lockers and dating cheerleaders, bound to become unemployed drunken failures by their 30's?
I kind of need one nowadays, but this kind of thing scares me shartless. How easy would it be to get fiscally wiped out by this kind of thing?
Following the same logic that's why I don't have a car, the risk being much more important and the consequences being much more grave. This being put in perspective, I have a credit car. Let me guess, you have a car?;-)
Someday, when holograms are commonplace, I will drive down the street, and instead of seeing my car, you will see a giant snake breathing fire on everything around me.
A snake? Pfft, give me my damn holographic shark that bites by-passers. You've got 7 years.
Reminds me of some show I saw a long long time ago in which a crazy Canuck villain on the loose was out to destroy the Moon so that the Earth's rotational axis would be changed and Canada would enjoy tropical temperatures.
But you could just wait 50 years for Quebec to become as warm as Florida, or even move to a decent area.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the exponent (the thing you referred to as mantissa) but actually with the mantissa. A 52-bit mantissa gives you only about 17 significant (decimal) digits.
In a sense, you could apply the same approach, except try to modify earth's orbit, which might actually be easier...
You realise of course that the Earth is pretty much a trillion times heavier than a mankind-threatening asteroid, right? And what would you want to modify Earth's orbit for anyways?
I know you're joking but for just the speed values if they used time increments in the order of the second then the speed differences would be in the order of e-18, which is too small for a double's mantissa. I'd rather go with long doubles, or better (I think you can achieve something like that by using a number to store the closest representable value and another one to represent the tiny difference from what it should be).

Couldn't the "unsmear" the images anyways? The smear being essentially a convolution by a line, shouldn't it make it fairly easy to deconvolve?
"snail kebab in cauliflower sauce and risotto with cabbage pesto" has put me off Pisa forever.
Oh dear... what were the odds that someone could be mad enough to do such a thing..
If they replaced the massive NES slot with an SD card slot. Also, think how much porn, I mean business applications, you could fit on one SD card.
We all know that's you really meant, no need to deny.
I will keep an eye out for more information about this article . . .
I guess we'll see how this looks soon.
Uh oh, chain of bad ocular puns in sight..

It's not an argument, it's a joke.
Am I the only one who's worried that we keep getting 'news' from papers published on ArXiv, which is not a peer-reviewed source?
Just saying, it needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
The internet does not grant magical anti-emotion powers.
Of course it does. What happens on the Internet stays on the Internet.
Thinking I'm silly for not having a credit card.

A story about firing employees and Ahnold and you didn't use "Terminated"?
You must be confusing him with the Comb-overator.
Your COBOL programmers. Give them to me. NOW!
Are Apple II's still even worth $12? I mean, you can get even a Mac Plus for $5 these days..
Boring. Hasn't anyone figured out a more interesting application of this "multi-touch" input form?
Multi-touch.. interesting... mmmh.. is it okay if it involves the Olsen twins? :-S

They built a robotic cougar. Everyone thought it was real and locked themselves indoors.
But turned out it only was after Ashton Kutcher.

Spoken like someone who's never implemented a N-body simulation (I have).
It's an iMac ad from 10 years ago reference, you insensitive clod!

Interesting, what's dc?

I hope their simulations use doubles, not floats!
