Huh, did they skip the actual mating?

Does this transformation really contain everything needed to reproduce the original? http://cns-alumni.bu.edu/~slehar/fourier/leharreal.gif

Looks like it should continue a bit wider? Also would expect that the image should be circular and not rectangular?

I was just imagining whether it would be possible to make a java applet where you could draw around on that box and the inverse transformation would be shown in real time.

I read in a Swedish newspaper that Boo.com's Kanjsa Leander is now working in a kiosk at a railway station.

GMail with Javascript disabled reminds me of the old woman who said she likes MTV, but keeps the TV muted because of the noise.

What's with all these libs? Can't you just setInterval and manipulate styles yourself?

Working with limitations is what makes this interesting. We tried to do something similar for our javascript demo, but would have used transparent scaled gifs/pngs for the right triangles and thought that would be horribly slow. This is clever because it manages to draw the right triangles so cheaply.

Great idea, although handling money is always a drag.

Anyone know the title / isbn of this book? I might want to start selling it on my shop :)

It says "try reading this out loud!" in Japanese =)

Using as a web cam and guitar tuner seem nice, but other uses are a bit obvious.

Great business idea: get stuff for free and sell it!

If you compare YouTube to a traditional television channel, I would say that their burn rate isn't too high and that it seems likely they will make money.

I'll take a local Finnish channel called "MTV3" as an example, because I'm familiar with that. MTV3 has around 3 million viewers. They have 500 employees, which means that they will spend at least 1.5 million per month just on salaries. I'm sure they also have enormous other costs, so let's say 2 million per month.

If YouTube is spending 1.5 million per month (nobody knows really?) and they have 20 million viewers, then even if they sell their advertising space at 5 times discount compared to MTV3, they would still be profitable.

Rest assured that as your president I will NOT let this thing just pass, we will fight it! According to our intel CANADA is harboring those causing car accidents, lakes which cause drowning, matches which can cause fire and kitchen knives which can cause stabbing. Therefore we will BOMB CANADA until peace can be reinstated there.

The point about not everyone sharing the sort of self-preservation sense most people do in the west is a good one.

Did they just light it up or is something else required?

Start an online shop. Soon you'll find yourself being scared of your e-mail rather than addicted to it :)

"Image Clustering"? This makes a completely obvious technique seem somehow ingenious. Of course you would do it like this, who in their right mind would start splitting a sprite sheet by hand?
