This article isn't about how much RAM Firefox needs when *running*, it's talking about how much RAM Microsoft Visual Studio uses when *compiling* (actually, linking) Firefox.

We aren't talking about Microsoft Certified Whatever People here.. the Civil Engineering PE licensing process is actually pretty good at testing for knowledge and expertise in the subject area. Civil Engineering is a relatively straightforward discipline to test knowledge on with agreed upon best practices, etc, PE is a professional license which requires a degree in the field, years of practical experience and then a pretty extensive exam process.

Did I mention it's a license? You don't just lose your piece of paper if you fuck up, you are held personally liable. You can go to jail for it.

Western District of Wisconsin's court is in Madison (right down town) and there's plenty of tech here - if you count biotech.

Still don't know why they'd file in Wisconsin though. Motorola is in Chicago.. perhaps their law firm has an office up here?

That's just cheating.

Please, please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?

Nope. It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Linux is dying.

To see the plot, read the paper (PDF), not the article. Figure 4 does not look like a square to me. Figure 7 has some squarish shapes drawn over the plot, but it is not highly convincing. Further, these squarish orbits appear in the inner parts of the Galaxy, not the outer shape as one might assume. Orbital shapes change with radius as different gravitational resonances dominate at different distances.

Ah, ok. In the future if you're in need of an NLE that can do S3D natively, Sony Vegas 10 was just announced and has a full S3D workflow.

The software used on this project is mainly Maya, Photoshop, ImageMagick, and perl scripts on both Linux and OS X.

What are you using to produce this?

We agree. Our current system does not allow us to release multiple formats in a simple manner. We chose red/cyan anaglyph as a test case. We are quite glad to see that there is demand for a side-by-side version as well as a YouTube version. For the slashdot crowd, conversion of formats and/or download and play through special software is no problem. The general public is the vast majority of our visitors and they generally just want to push play in the browser. What I suspect would make our website folks happiest is if we could employ something like the YouTube 3D player on our web pages. Your comments will help us make arguments for better 3D support. Thank you.

Thanks for the info, Joseph. You clarified the most important point - that the TV is switched into 3D mode separately from Media Play opening the file and starting it. We will have access to a 3D HDTV for testing shortly (it is also a Samsung, which is why I had looked into Media Play). When ready, I will be glad to post a version for you and others to download. I'll post the link as a comment to this thread and also see if the folks who do the YouTube channel will post it there. Thank you very much for your feedback.

We are interested in producing files that folks could watch directly on their 3D HDTV via USB, but have not figured out the encoding to use. In looking at the Samsung Media Play supported video formats, none of them jump out at me as being side-by-side, top-bottom, or other obviously 3D aspect ratios. They are all listed as 1920x1080 (with a couple 800x600). Hence, one could do a 1/2 width side-by-side or 1/2 height top-bottom, but not a full resolution or the Blu-ray 3D format of 1920x2205 at 24 fps. Have you done 3D off a USB stick on your Samsung? What is the encoding that tells the TV to activate 3D mode? How does the TV know a file is 1/2 width side-by-side 1920x1080 vs a normal 1920x1080 movie?
