I think you misunderstand. They never hosted any content, they only linked to it. What we're saying is that the torrent database was upgraded from plain old filesystem storage of .…

He's playing against the ridiculously bad AI in that video. Here's the more impressive "mortars only" style in the LieroX remake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx3ivYFY4ig#t=67 I…

>you're masking your origin IP to the remote address by trusting one of a couple hundred volunteer exit nodes No! When using Tor, you are not trusting any single node, and that's t…

The Wikipedia article does a bad job on giving any larger perspective, that is, the fact that this is a drop in the ocean of hacking and cryptography wargames. [1] [1]: http://www.…

It's huge. Normally, the curvature of the earth would make it impossible to detect anything at such distances. But the ionosphere's lower levels act like a waveguide [1], (and this…

Thanks (and thanks to the other replies !). So a complex number has a single representation when using real and imaginary parts, but an infinity of representations if you use angle…

Maybe someone can help me understand this. On slide 39 of the first slideshow, it says : "For any irrational power p, there are an infinite number of solutions to z^p=c, all lying …

According to Wikipedia : "Like many claims in the cymatics community, the hypothesis that the carvings represent Chladni patterns is not supported by scientific or historical evide…

The descriptions are wrong, the letters were moved right not left. Anyways, the new one is more balanced. Quite the zen garden.

Here's my explanation : assuming random distribution, the probability of finding a star at a given distance is proportional to the area of the sphere having that radius. So it foll…

The frame and rafters seem solid (as long as you don't stress it too much), but it seems inevitable that the roots of plants will pierce the plastic layer, and rain will drain thou…

A lot of people were afraid that HAD would go downhill after being taken over by SupplyFrame[0]. I find all the initiatives they've taken so far were pretty good and this space pri…

This is very cool. The core of the code should be pretty simple, here's an article on how to play an image using windowed fft : http://www.ohmpie.com/imageencode/ Then just add som…

I've always wondered if it's possible to build a video camera that films on the microwave spectrum instead of the visible light spectrum. Would such a tool would allow you to "see"…

I don't really agree with this critique. HTML defines the structure and content, CSS defines the style and appearance, and JS defines the behavior. The model is clear and even some…

This is pretty mind-bending. When you know a little about the algorithm being played, it does feel like taking a dive inside the processor. But maybe a different synthesis method, …

The problem is, when pressing the coins it might be difficult or impossible to apply such a layer properly. If the verification is done with a part of the electromagnetic spectrum …

They probably just mean "physical". I've noticed "Analog" gets abused in that way a lot.

Working fine here with Firefox on Win7.

Advertisement ? It's borderline a space horror movie, no irony here... The mockups of mission branding and press conferences were rather well made though, so I can imagine why you'…

OK, I'll bite. Meditation allows you to gain an otherwise impossible level of control over somatic functions (heart rate, pressure). That's why it's often used by freedivers to lea…

Reminds me of TinEye's multicolr demo [0] that searches through CC-licensed images on Flickr. Their multiple color feature was really nice (however they don't have shuttershock's k…

Your link is indeed broken but some google fu led me to find these entries proving your point : http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2013-017... http://web.nvd.nist.…

This seems to be a pretty big deal, but the article gives off the impression that mithocondrial aging is the only reason that we age. In fact there are many other aging factors tha…

It's nice to see this up here, I've been a fan of your work since the milkdrop days. Is that when you started making shaders ? I gotta say MD2 was one of the best shader playground…
