which is a oneliner actually:

write clipboard:// probe copy/part enbase/base checksum/method/key 
"twitter" 'SHA1 ask/hide "password: " 64 8

Very nice Tamás. But shouldn't 'paste have a different name, based 
on what it does? 'Paste implies taking data out of the clipboard 
and putting it into a target location. I know 'copy is taken though. 
:-)

Gregg: indeed... what to do? name it ctrl-c? :)

:-) I've used both write-clip and cc as shortcuts.

Oops, Doc already posted this in the Red group.

When I first saw it I was thinking that they put the wrong USB port 
on it (device rather than host) but figured that they wouldn't have 
made a mistake like that. Seeing the in-use pictures though, they 
did do that, which is why they have to hack up their own USB cables. 
USB's asymmetry can be lame sometimes.

As it "is designed to plug into a TV" that's most likely intentional.

It is designed to plug into a TV through HDMI, not USB. More likely 
it is because this platform is apparently designed for educational 
use, and is programmed by plugging it into another computer as a 
USB device. At runtime it changes the USB port to host mode, though 
not the USB plug. Perhaps they expect it to spend more time being 
programmed than used.

 USB's asymmetry can be lame sometimes.

  All asymmetry is lame.  Even power cords, video cords, etc.   All 
  ahould have the same device on both ends.

Linux running on top of a virtual PC written in Javascript: http://bellard.org/jslinux/

Why? WHY? (Said like Batman in "Batman Begins".)

For the fun! (would say the Joker) ;-)

seems fast :-)

20 Bogomips here (cat /proc/cpuinfo)

I call crap:

ERROR: your browser is too old to run JS/Linux.

It requires FF4 or Chrome 11 (for the Typed Arrays HTML5 support):

Yeah, just a bit disappointing ;-)

hehe, boots in <7 secs here :)

obviously not counting the time to boot the whole host os :)

Depixelizing Pixel Art: Upscaling Retro 8-bit Games http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2385811,00.asp

(unfortunately, original pages and also mirros seems to be down at 
this moment)

I can see the page, and it looks like a really cool algorithm!

Imagine Mario and all the other cool 8-bit games, but with this kind 
of graphics. Makes you wanna play them again. Or is the nostalgic 
factor removed, so it is dull?

Oh sorry, the original page, johanneskopf.de, seems to be down.

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2385811,00.asp

WOW!!!

here is the original Depixelizing Pixel Art document - http://www.mediafire.com/?1yagc72uz7lx8u2
(the web page where it was available is still down)

Thanks!

Really nice results in that document. Better than hq?x.

Hm... I was just thinking that I would prefere hq4x result.

I think, the fish on the first page looks better than the hq4x (middle) 
fish on the second. Don't you?

I was comparing the figure 10. But the true is, that hq*x is only 
for bitmap results where the new algo is able to create any size 
as the output can be vectors.

Danish rocket launch is being attempted again today.

It can be followed here, among other places:

http://raketvenner.dk/launch/

mms://itv02.digizuite.dk/tv2b

TV stream here, which should work in VLC.

http://sputnik.tv2.dk/play/event/820/

This is a much better stream, but requires Silverlight.

thanks

any text view? hashtag for it for example?
im on mobile connection now

don't know. there is a live chat here:

but this is mostly in Danish.

The infamous hair dryer from last year has been replaced by a heating 
resistor. They got a lot of laughs for using the hair dryer to heat 
a supercooled valve and the valve failed, because the power to the 
hair dryer was lost.

Also:

Of other things, the liquid oxygen is no longer time critical (there 
is much more of it and the vaporization system is different) and 
radar control has fewer people running around. The launch platform 
itself no longer needs to be towed by a separate boat, but is powered 
by two diesel engines. Generally it seems a lot calmer and quieter 
than last year.

The quality of the reporting is atrocious, and is in no way scientific. 
I'm embarrassed that there is not a reporter on site, who actually 
knows what he's talking about.

Yet another stream here:


http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/03/amateur-copenhagen-suborbitals-team-about-to-send-a-dummy-into-s/

looks like the only problem now is to get remaining ships out of 
the area.

launch in a few seconds...

aaaand .... nothing? :-)
