Comment Re:how does autoskipping commercials work? (Score 0) 418

There are probably a lot of ways to detect commercials. ReplayTV doesn't go by time. Think about what changes when a commercial comes on. The picture, the overscan area, the audio. All it'd have to do is watch for the audio to drastically change, like stereo to mono or cut in and out, the overscan area to drop in and out (closed captioning, XDS), and screen blanking. If two out of three happen, a commercial probably started.

Mega HTML Periodic Table 60

Calcbert sent us a link to one of the best browser stress tests I've seen in awhile. Lucent has a Periodic Table of the Elements online that makes the tables in Slashdot seem nice and minimal. How does Gecko take on that beast? Maybe more important is the fact that I now know what Ununbium is. I thought it was a radioactive card game. Ooo knew? (god it must be late, my jokes actually worse than usual. Didn't know that was possible) Here's another one that has more data, but it doesn't have quitethe same stress testing potential. But now I know the half life of Ununbium too.
