anyone know why there's so many videos dubbed in non-English on peer-to-peer networks? and so many in non-stranded resolutions? thank you, 70.114.248.114 ( talk) 03:35, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

when you record a crt-tv with a video camera, why do those dark and light bands appear? (i know it has to do with the asynchronous of the camera and tv, but i want more detail.) thanks, 70.114.248.114 ( talk) 04:07, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
I have an electric fan on a dimmer switch, so I can adjust the speed precisely. When I place it in front of my CRT TV, I get the strobe light effect, and can adjust it to make the fan blades appear to stop, move slowly forward, or slowly backward. The "virtual fan blades" appear semi-transparent and there are only 3 fat blades, versus 5 actual thinner fan blades, so some strange resonance effect is going on there. I also notice that the leading edges of the virtual fan blades are bluish and the trailing edges are greenish. I take it that has to do with the different color scans happening at different times. If you have this setup, I suggest you try it (in a darkened room, except for the TV). It's quite interesting. StuRat ( talk) 06:48, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
If I type in http://thehackernews.com, the page won't load. Instead, I get the following message:

I first got this message after doing a Google search for "hacker news" so I assumed Google was blocking it the Google Search level. However, if I manually type " http://thehackernews.com" into my browser, Google is still blocking access.

Hi! At http://www.gpiaa.gov.pt/?cr=9530 there is a link to a PDF file about "1977/DEZ/18 - Acidente com o Super Caravelle - HB-ICK - Proximidades do Aeroporto de Santa Catarina, Madeira (Relatório Final)" but the link is "javascript:linkFicheiro('9530',%20,%20false,%200);" and not an actual URL. How do I get the real URL of the file? I want to archive it on http://webcitation.org
Thanks, WhisperToMe ( talk) 20:53, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
I tried to search using google but the places I found didnt explained very well. As some example, how the hell would I do this? object.tile_list[row][collumn] = '▓▓' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.78.177.180 ( talk) 21:28, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
object.tile_list[row][collumn] = u'\u2593\u2593'
print(u'\u2593\u2593')
