Photo (or other photo-like image): png is (needlessly) large for photos. Tiff is probably your best bet for a lossless format, but you won't see much (if any) difference with jpeg in the end product if you have high resolution images. So for a picture of around 1920x1080 including text, blocks of solid colour, jpeg would give the best final results?
For text and blocks of solid color I would use png in the final format too. The problem with jpeg is that it will create artifacts, depending on the compression level used it could even render your text illegible (especially if you resize as well). JPEG is especially good for images with many different colours and borders and edges, and especially if the edges are not very sharp. It's not meant for images with big blocks of a single color with sharp edges, where artifacts will be very noticeable (and irritating to look at).

There was a great wallpaper site I found through one of the threads here. All I remember was that it was a easy to navigate site although it was a bit slow because of it's design.
Any guesses what it might of been?
Anyone know why some posters post multiple times but it shows they have 0 posts?

They post to shared forums from one of the bro-sites;. Liquidlegends, LiquidDota or LiquidHearth. Postcount hasn't been shared between sites since LD went to its own site.

I have a half eaten pizza in my kitchen should i
a) heat it up and eat it now
b)heat it up and eat it in 5 minutes
?

Well, the first one is kind of impossible, thus i would suggest taking the second route. Well, unless you count ~37°C as "heated up", but that is pretty much lukewarm at most.
Edit:
Or do you have a time machine?

No but i could modify my microwave to emit a tachyon pulse by rerouting the dampening field through the warp capacitor.

My first thought was wallbase.cc but they seem to have closed down. Wallhaven.cc looks to be pretty much the same thing though.

What would a nuclear bomb explosion look like in space?
|
We should test it with some of the tens of thousands of nuclear warheads sitting in American and ex-Soviet bunkers. The real question is how much would it cost to send the warhead far enough away from earth in space that the debris wouldn't enter the atmosphere.
|
Well the Delta-v for a Moon transfer orbit is roughly 12.52, and the SLS has a payload of 70-130 tons to LEO, which has a delta-v of 9.4. So roughly, for a MTO, you'd expect a payload of 40-70 tons (assuming that's far enough for you).
Little boy for reference was 4.4 tons, the Tsar bomb (strong bomb ever), was 25 tons. So any SLS flight would be able to carry any of them. Considering that a B53 nuclear bomb also weighs 4 tons, you could probably bring a nuclear bomb into space for 10-20% of the cost of an average SLS flight into LEO.
edit: One saturn 5 launch cost 1.2 billion USD, so today that is $7.5 billion today per launch. Considering we don't need anything that big, have people, or anything like that. The cost could certainly be within $2 billion USD, which isn't that much if it was something that interesting.
|
Debris isn't an issue IMO. Our Atmosphere should be able to absorb any fragments of the bomb from the test. The EMP is what can really fuck us up. I doubt that dissipates in space.
|
I don't know what that means. Lower earth orbit doesn't sound far enough away.
|
It's not metal debris from the casing. I'm talking about radioactive material.
|
I'm saying LEO is 9.4km/s of delta-v, while going to the moon is 12.5 delta-v. So I was doing an extrapolation of how large it'd need to be to go to the moon, given that I knew it's payload to reach LEO. Anyway, so my cost estimate is $1-3billion USD to get one of the larger bombs in the US arsenal to space sufficiently far enough from earth with an existing rocket that sends things to LEO.
Now, what happens!
