With a 20 ms period, the frequency (f = 1/T) is 50 Hz.
You seem to be also confused about the units.
1 second = 1 second. Once per second is 1 Hz.
1 second = 1000 milliseconds (ms). Once per ms is 1000 Hz or 1 kHz.
1 millisecond = 1000 microseconds (us). Once per us is 1000000 Hz or 1 MHz.
1 microsecond = 1000 nanoseconds (ns). Once per ns is 1000000000 Hz or 1GHz.
Me too. This is the exact setup I use at home.
The difference is due process of law, with oversight and consent of the people, versus totalitarian law.
FTFA:
"We scrutinise each one to ensure that it adheres to both the letter and the spirit of the law before complying, and do our best to notify the subject named in any such requests to give them the opportunity to object."
One can hardly expect Google to do much more than that, beyond hiring their own mercenary army to keep law enforcement out of your free web-hosted email account.
It's holding my ability to play games online in exchange for my ability to boot into linux and make this reply.
I carefully considered the meaning of the word, and I'm pretty sure that it applies in the literal sense (although not perhaps in the popular vernacular).
I can't think of a better case for a class action lawsuit. They are extorting us out of features that we paid for. I bought this version of PS3 for several reasons, installing an alternative OS was high among them.
Huzzah! Now if we can just get subtitling/captioning on Netflix streams, the net will be accessible to the Deaf again.
By that reasoning, if you leave your front door open, and somebody actually wanders in and takes something, they cannot be charged with theft.
Do you see the part of your post that concerns theft?
Using an unsecured wifi is more like depositing mail in their unlocked mailbox to be picked up by the postman. (Not stealing their mail)
This.
Accurate submeter 3D positioning is quite hard.
That is the exact opposite of what he says. He says that reencoding the entire library would be time and cost prohibitive, as well as angering a lot of non-hearing-impaired english speakers. As a result, they are working on laying a secondary stream that contains only the subtitles over the video stream. He also says that they looked around for existing tech to do this, and found nothing.
Did you even read it, or did you just skim over it because you are pissed off?
What he says is FUD. The reason he says that entire thing is to try and confuse people out of the real issue. Of course reencoding the entire library would be cost prohibitive and expensive. Of course doing it that way would annoy the rest of the population. Of course, that is not the way that captions are done, so his entire point is moot. If the captions were encoded along with the video stream, then they would be subject to compression artifacts and buffering issues and all sorts of other problems. No other captioning technology works that way. You simply read the time encoded text file and display the text on the screen at the appropriate time in the movie. It's easy, most everyone does it. He hasn't found the technology available for what he describes because that's not the way it's done. If he doesn't know that, it's because he hasn't researched the issue beyond a 5 minute conversation with someone who has.
In the tech demo SDK for silverlight there is an example for placing text on top of video. I don't need to submit any grand idea to them. Netflix is not an Open Source company, and as such is not looking for code submissions.
Gee thanks. It's not like I haven't already researched the issue. If you read that post, it's a bunch of nonsense gobbleygook and FUD that works out to, we don't want to do it.
He says they would have to reencode the entire library with subtitles enabled in order to stream the captions. This is of course BS because the captions are not video data and do not need to be encoded.
He says that they are developing special display technology that would display the text as a separate stream in silverlight. Again FUD, I have written programs that display text in silverlight. It's quite easy, as you would expect.
The data for all of the captions for a movie is usually around 100 KB and is freely available for use on nearly every dvd.
The bottom line is that they do not care to have their programmers waste even 10 minutes on the Deaf community
It's been three years. I'd say you've had it for a while.
Still no captions for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. It's almost as if it they want a class action lawsuit or something. Ten percent of your userbase is no small amount (I would think).
You are logically correct. However, you would never get real people to go along with such a system because people quickly go illogical when their own lives, or the lives of loved ones are on the line. We are much more likely to have a healthcare system paid for by a preset percentage of the economy, the size of which will be quite large.
