    Does alpha channel really need 8-bits?

    Yes, in this case I must agree with @newjerseyrunner because alpha must able to have at least 101 value in order to represent transparency percentage.

    Does alpha channel really need 8-bits?

    Ah, ok I got my answer. It holds the percentage information of the alpha channel. This makes sense. Otherwise 8-bit channel badwidth wouldl be very unneccesarry if it was only holding transparent or not. Thanks a lot!

    Does alpha channel really need 8-bits?

    Hi, I am looking for the differences between 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit colors for a while. I saw that actually 32-bit color is also like 24-bit color but plus 8-bit alpha channel. Since 8-bit information represents 256 possible values for each color channel, what does 8-bit do exactly for alpha...

    Can a Light-Whip Exist in Star Wars?

    Hi, Is a light-whip possible in Star Wars world? We see no light-sabers bending in the story but there is no opposite evidence that light can't bend. Wouldn't be cool a red light-whip in a darth's hand?

    Contribution of mobile phones to global warming

    I guess, not that easy actually. The electricity generation methods and the number of base stations veries from country to country which makes the CO2 calculation abit more complex. Maybe berkeman was right. There is no significant contribution of cellulars to the global warming. It can be...

    Contribution of mobile phones to global warming

    Exactly! I didn't think about the base stations but may be they should be even taken into account. Ofcourse, heavy industries and transportation are the main factors but in my project I want to mention about junk mails and other unnecessary usage of communication means. I want to use those...

    Contribution of mobile phones to global warming

    Yes, I can see no reason that makes calculating number of active devices and their daily electric consumption impossible. Regardless their production process...

    Contribution of mobile phones to global warming

    Hi, Where can I find a research or statics about the contribution of cellulars or general mobile devices (tablets, PDAs) to the global warming? But I am looking for specifically cellular phones for a project. Thanks a lot!

    How water cooling chills below room temperature?

    An engineer friend said it will have no positive effect if you put the fans back to back(not either sides of the radiator like already applied in some cars) unless you have a conic-like profile along the fans as it is already applied in steam tribunes in order to maintain air pressure difference.

    How water cooling chills below room temperature?

    IMPORTANT NOTE: I had not watched the whole video when I was posting this thread. So I was surprised with the result on 10:40 and decided to dicuss it here. But then I realized the story is totally different. As far as I get, Corsair gives an assignment to this guy to promote these...

    How water cooling chills below room temperature?

    I didn't watched the end really. I couldn't take it to the very end like everybody. I am not trying to trollling. If I were, I would post something about prepetual motion ;) EDIT: Now I see the video is a bit sarcastic. Sorry, I don't get sarcasm easily :)

    How water cooling chills below room temperature?

    Now I feel better. I thought something's wrong with me. Thanks!

    How water cooling chills below room temperature?

    Right after 10:40 to any where you care to watch. I don't think evaporation occurs. These are closed-loop liquid coolings. AFAIK the heat transfer is only allowed from warmer to colder according to thermodynamics. The point I don't get is, how can liquid still transfer its heat to air (or first...

    How water cooling chills below room temperature?

    "How does water cooling in room temperature chill CPU out lower than room temperature?" Couldn't be shorter.
