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:

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The infamous hair dryer from last year has been replaced by a heating 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? :-)

auto launch sequence did not start. restarting.

I wonder how difficult it is to get an agreement, to do such a thing. 
What if the rocket fails, and falls to some crowded town area?

it does not. it only has fuel to go 16 kilometers up and the area 
that it can fall in is rather large.

It's out :-)

stream is behind here... still launch trouble.

but it did lift off and is now coming down again.

parachute did not work properly

Henrik - the project got publicity on our Technet site, which is 
part of the biggest online Czech News server ( http://www.idnes.cz
) -

cool

Testing Chromium: AddressSanitizer, a fast memory error detector.

Interesting, I could use the same approach for a memory debug mode 
in Red/System.

i think REBOL does similar things (eg. the end! datatype), that's 
why you usually get an internal error rather than a crash when there 
is a GC bug.

Commodore USA has released a new video showing their office, production 
area and the progress of both the new Commodore 64 and the VIC-Slim. 

Here's the link: http://commodoreusa.net/CUSA_FacilityVideo.aspx

We can easily build a CLI dialect in REBOL to build a console:

<move, copy, delete, send, show-all> find <what-to-search> in <path-to-folder>

<copy-to-clipboard, print, send> find <what-to-search> in <file-name>
it would be a nice project :)

Yes, and the broader point is that it can also be integrated as snippets 
in GUI apps

With support for sending commands via something like arexx ports.

Sometimes you just want to type out what you want the computer to 
do......

Gregg: I was just thinking about the Arexx :)

Steve Jobs resigns as CEO:


http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/24/steve_jobs_resigns_as_apple_ceo.html

The end of an era.

Probably the end of Apple as we know it

I don't think so. He still is going to be the head of the board of 
directors,no?

It means he's admitting that he's going downhill. And remember the 
organisation chart Doc found a while ago?

Yes, he is still the chairman.
