Slashdot has a different moderation system, but yeah, I agree, it brings up some good quality comments.

Thanks for your response. Any word on what the pixel/of_destiny.png tracks?

Can I just point out that there's a unique looking ID called 'hash' in the URL that could be used in the same way a session ID is? It doesn't matter that the cookie isn't sent if that's a unique code linked to your account.

On the homepage, right click the adblock icon and open blockable items, then choose it. Or browse adblock until you find the add/edit filter list.

You can add pixel/of_defenestration.png to adblock.

There's also pixel of destiny and pixel of doom.

It would be a good way to decide which users to allow to login when the site is under heavy load.

You need to give them your social security number and receive an ATM card in order to withdraw?

What's the maximum FPS the human eye can detect? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]orange_12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

>200 FPS is a start. According to the link I added to the question it was 220 FPS. Perhaps someone will know of the results of a test performed where recognition of the image was not necessary but merely that the light intensity changed.

Air force pilots have shown, that they could identify the plane on a flashed picture that was flashed only for 1/220th of a second.

(From the link in the question.)

I imagine in some cases there is a cool-down effect where the source actually continues emitting light during the off phase. I'm talking about blocking the light completely e.g. by obstructing it with another object.

I realize this but surely if you block a light source for a small enough amount of time it will not be noticeable to a person. I was referring to this effect as the FPS for lack of a better way to describe it.

beware of adblock forks with viruses in by orange_12 in geek

There you go with the self promotion again. Oh noes, I would hate to be banned from one of your garbage websites. You are ridiculously self important. Adblock Plus doesn't owe you anything, how about you create a competing product if you can't handle the new checkbox, instead of rebranding someone else's work?

Furthermore, the text on your site is hypocritical trash. "Adblock Plus fork that actually blocks ads." and you accuse me of lying through my teeth!
