Let's NUKE MARS to make it more like home says Elon Musk

Zmodem

Re: The old terraforming question.

the speed is in my posts below, if you drop a nuke into the atmosphere of mars, it will just create acid rain, as methane becomes a liquid at room temperature

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanesulfonic_acid

there are no volcano`s, you most methane would stay at ground level so mars would become twice as cold as it already it, other planets in out solar system with methane atmosphere`s have plenty of acid rain because of volcano`s

http://science.opposingviews.com/planet-acid-rain-fall-3700.html

the force of the blast, low atmosphere level, and thermo nuclear temperators would probably make some hydrogen and CO2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_reforming

if you know what all this means, and know your parts per million of methane on mars, you could drop a 100 cubic tons or more of hydrogen and CO2, with the war head 100m behind, so the hyrdogen and CO2 have some time to disperse

Zmodem

Re: The old terraforming question.

it would be faster to make a methane fusion bomb and make as much co2 as you can, then drop some terraformer`s down to convert co2 to o2

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/scientists-turned-carbon-dioxide-into-oxygen-by-zapping-it-with-a-laser

then in 1000 years of star ships humans could have 100`s of planets that have methane atmospheres being terraformed

Re: The old terraforming question.

unless mars has aload of ice, then its total recall, and melt the ice but at alot slower speed

the gov should keep a few points of a percent and get rid of the tv licence, and pay for the bbc with the money

Zmodem

Re: "because Sky is an efficient private company"

vodafone`s tax breaks can pay for the bbc, or put it on a decoder card

Zmodem

if channel 5 can afford all of the american tv and good films and engineering doc`s, and was sold for $30m, then the bbc should be able to afford the same, and make a few docs and victorian drama`s with £150m of the tv licence money, and not need a £1bn and have nothing to watch or no radio shows left for anyone to care about

all you ever hear on the bbc news is reuters, and seems like they have no journalists

the bbc are rubbish and should be on a decoder card

Zmodem

Re: "because Sky is an efficient private company"

nothing todo with sky, channel 5 has all the usa programs with live nba, nascar etc alnight for 10 years and the channel was sold for $30m

Zmodem

end up with a million thumbs down because nobody would bother to pay to watch bbc, if you want a news source you can just use ITN since they began

Zmodem

Re: Stop TV licence non-payment being a criminal offence

the bbc are loosers, lost money on you gas and credit card bills is returned by making others who pay, pay more next year

Zmodem

the bbc a proper rubbish and i have`nt watched nothing on it for over 20 years, they should go decoder freeview card like the porn and sport channels and get rid of the licence. then see how many people actually care about the bbc having nothing to watch around the clock

Telstra's Netflix downloads get EVEN SLOWER

Zmodem

if you take the bitrate of 5000kbps, you just remove the last number to know what Kbs your connection needs to be able to download at without any buffer, so it would be 500Kbs actual download speed, which is slower then 3g which can download at 800Kbs, with full 8Mbs which you can sometime get on EE using http://multiget.sourceforge.net/

Zmodem

tron legacy would look like a spectrum game

Zmodem

40 Mbps for blu-ray, 8Mbps for dvd, its all in the bitrate stream, most dvd`s are 8000kbs and ac3 are 1000kbs per channel, so they need the buffer

Re: You lost me at the GTA screenshot

you can change the render frame size in quakewars which is the first game to use megatextures

the terrain is just a single massive pre-rendered texture, all other engines use procedule terrain

Zmodem

Re: Moore's Law and gaming...

doubt it, carmack probably trolls here, he can pass it on to id and gain advantage with his megatextures and up the render frame size for doom 4

Re: You lost me at the GTA screenshot

its just useless programming

id software rage "at 4k" https://www.flickr.com/photos/pix111/sets/72157640283278754/

the config settings are >> https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/3aeccd/rage_with_16k_textures_at_4k_resolution_wow/

really its still just a small rendered frame stretched to fit the screen, if you change the render frame size in the source code, to hardware it up to match the com_spec cvar you set in the main menu resolution, the camera eye will be miss aligned, and you have to fix the FOV,

programmers are lazy

so when the time comes the id software 4k settings will probably work on doom 4, as they never change much todo with cvars

if you mess about with terregen, a good size screen can still take a hour to render http://www.planetside.co.uk/

id software engines work at the same speed with bigger render frames

Zmodem

if the guy was a man you would'nt escape marci looks like darren brown if he still works there

Zmodem

"the higher the resolution the further an object has to travel each frame"

what you talking about, its the same 3d mapped world, textured with the same textures that are normally 1024 x 1024 images, and rendered image frame, 99% of the time the rendered frame is`nt the screen resolution, its rubbish like and just stretched to fit the screen in the graphics card so you have blurry textures

id software normally renders frames to 640 x 480 which you can change in the sdk/render/rendersystem.h file

// all drawing is done to a 640 x 480 virtual screen size

// and will be automatically scaled to the real resolution

const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 640;

const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 480;

Web giants gang up to take on MPEG LA, HEVC Advance with royalty-free streaming codec

Zmodem

if xvid can do gradients better then other mpeg-4 codecs with lower bitrates and smaller filesizes then xvid would be using its own compression

this scene in predator 2 looks terrible on dvd, I have`nt seen it on blu-ray

http://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/p2-ship07.jpg

most codecs will end up with 256 color gradient, instead of 16 million

Zmodem

mpeg-4 iso is just a container, and everything else is custom, encoding a hi speed race means nothing, any encoder can handle FPS, frames are just compressed images, the compression takes away the detail, encoding festival mainstages are where most codecs fail except for xvid

xvid and divx are seperate codecs, most programs use profile parsing to import the basic values

if anything 3ivx is using an old xvid source code

festival stages are just your sci-fi movie`s which looks rubbish on DVD, and still abit rubbish on blu-ray

Zmodem

divx has never been open source, when it comes down to the crunch and you want to encode festivals like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T0NrGr8d-c

xvid has always been the best for picture quality and file size, with no blocks or rubbish gradients when smoke machines kick in, and also seek time when you want to fastforward or rewind

xvid is already in use on more dvd, blu-ray players and camera`s

Zmodem

use xvid, its mpeg-4 iso and nothing todo with mpeg-4 part 2, and is better then your hevc and mpeg-4 advanced, and better then divx, and 4 times faster to encode

you can download my settings on http://forum.digital-digest.com/f75/xvid-settings-94010.html

3: They're also usually only half that size."

1: its probably an unknown law to have a extinguisher in your car, to go with your hazard triangle in the uk

2: why would you have 1 in a bedroom, you can just put it on the inside of your airing cupbored if you have some wall mounts

3: hire cars have small rubbish extinguishers, normal people buy a proper size 1

4: 25 condoms for £5 on ebay = good, ebay are only highstreet shops and whole salers, argos, currys etc sell b-stock

Re: Am I missing something?

seeing they are cheap as chips now a days there is no point you not having at least 1 some where in your house, you will probably have a extinguisher in your car, they are still probably £40 in halfords

Tobacco field bacteria offers hope for buzz-kill smoking therapy

Zmodem

rolling tabacco only adds some chemicals to stop it drying out, real tabacco adds aload of extra chemicals to get you addicted

rolling tabacco is easy to give up, and takes a pint of water when you need a smoke, then you kind of forget after a day, the water kills the darkness of nicotine passing through your kidney

Zmodem

nicotine does nothing anyway, unless you have`nt had a smoke for 10 hours and the tabacco is real dry

then if its rolling tabacco is not as bad, and just like the forest and jungle fire humans have been breathing for millions of years, and why cancer is more in high population cities with more car fumes

its all where do you passive smoke at, your all still drying, smokers have built up a defense and live til they are 90 -> 110
