I havn't dived enough into it. I saw the "if we covered only this blip of the us, we could power the entire nation" argument a while ago and this is what I got from a quick google search. Not in a position to explore solar power myself as a means so I haven't been paying that much attention to it.

Bullshit. If we actually put our foot down and put up enough solar panels we would be golden. But there is no one who wants to finance that now. No one in the big sector wants to because they have their money elsewhere like oil, so that leaves us consumers to figure it out and so we need to tech to become cheap enough for consumers to pick it up. There is zero reason why solar energy would not solve everything on a technical level. It just requires a hefty investment.

You also gotta consider that paper burns the surface with friction before breaking the surface of the skin. However I think the culprit is still location, location, location. I can get scrapes around all areas of my skin, but finger tips where most sensory nerves are clustered are generally cut by something blunt that I have pressed into hard enough.

I like the hybrid system, imagine if it could be used as a sort of electronic NOS system? That would add a HUGE strategy element to the race. I could be interested in watching a few of this years races now.

All I heard was "governments created by and run by flawed humans are flawed"

The day we do get quantum computing, encryption will be a thing of the past. There really will be no such thing as an uncrackable code (where is said code is recallable and usable again).

charliem, my guess is that was not the intent. The issues you bring up seem to be a non issue when dealing with digital audio editing and playback in terms of music/movies and the pc in either a consumer or professional environment. His first video touched with a number of subjects dealing with video formats, audio formats, containers, and how their streams are packed.

Hamster, I find its heavy cymbal use, especially during fairly busy pieces that is where mp3 falls apart. Even at 320k it still suffers a warble sounding artifact.

I am still going through his last video which I think he takes on compression, but I can tell you right now as for mp3, it is cd-quality, but it is not cd. Even at high bitrates, the high frequencies get hit hard. It is pretty sad we continue to let our music suffer with a lot of people still compressing to mp3. If you look hard enough though you will find people using FLAC, and apples high bitrate AAC files are great. Anime fansubs which are probably more fickle about quality and standards then the Hollywood movie pirate scene are now all using AAC in their mp4 file instead of bad old mp3. Although in its defense, MOST movie rips are AC3/DTS, or at least offer it aside long its MP3 stereo track.

My spaghetti comes in a box.


Yea...I goto all my grocery stores... the majority of name brand and store brand noodles are in boxs.

The above is proof people will vote for comments just because of shiny things next to peoples names. -_-

charlie, nah, its a bad fps. The videos FPS is pretty good...atleast 20+ if not very close to 30. There is smooth hand shake without tearing. If we had any synch issues with the lcd monitor then we would be seeing torn frames on the monitor. For the most part however LCD camera captures have very little frame defects, only poor image quality overall.

What sucks is this probably made it impossible for him to spot the question SS viewers probably wanted answered. That is, the physics of the player as they translate through portals. Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out. Most people would agree that a hand held gun that can paste wormholes onto walls is pure scifi, and couldn't happen to us in a thousand years. But instead lets imagine that portal wormholes exhist, how accurate is portal 2's experience to how they would react in real life.

The whole feedback thing was really interesting though, the reason we can see through the portals is because light radiation is streaming through the portal to our eyes. If you stuck a portal infront of you and then a portal behind you, light radiation would stream in and out of the portals into an infinite feedback loop causing catastrophic energy output.
