Actually yeah I do want to keep MY medial stuff in a directory ; but that doesn't mean that it's unsecured, unmanaged and not backed up. Ultimately all data ends up on the filesystem in one way or another if it's large enough. I would rather have a filesystem that I can trust rather than trying to fix/ignore that layer by building more layers on top of it.
I'd rather be dumb and have free time than organize files every day and maintain my intelligence(not sure how this can really be quantified though)
Part of the reason people would even want to send a boat full of troops is because of the way our military interacts with the rest of the world. It's an unfortunate situation to be in but that doesn't mean it needs to continue forever. If we would just scale back the size of our military presence it would definitely be safer for everyone.
Cool, that's best - it would be silly to try to re-do all of that. I will definitely continue to follow this project.
The thing that is amazing about imagemagick/graphicsmagick is the fact that they can open 100+ formats. That is not something to be taken for granted.
Other than that... they feel kind of old. Video++ feels really new, I'm excited to try it out, but I will miss support for all those weird formats I love so much.
I don't see any video examples though - or is that all handled using opencv?
I've found opencv's png/video decoders to be extremely picky. Opencv doesn't open some files that other libraries will and because of that I've been extremely hesitant about using it as my main image IO.
Is there some kind of distinction between fame and recognizability? I wouldn't consider Alex from Target famous, but he isn't exactly a stranger. I think we need to carve out more definitions for fame; something more than either famous or not.
Apparently up until the release last year it actually was based on a Squeak virtual machine: http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Squeak_Tutorial
rawspeed won't let you extract the thumbnail. Also, the reason I suggested dcraw is because it's one C file and that makes things a lot easier, especially when compiling to javascript.
Have you thought about compiling dcraw to javascript with emscripten? I'm not sure what the performance would be like, but I've seen this work in the past.
Do the Firefox releases have anything to do with the Spidermonkey releases? I've been seeing the placeholder page for Spidermonkey 31 for a couple of months now...
