This is pretty mind blowing..

A typical digitized picture on your computer
screen is 640 pixels long by 480 pixels wide, for a total of
307200 pixels. Using only 256 different colors, you can get decent
resolution. Now if you take 256^307200 (256 times itself 307200 times)
you get... well, a pretty big number, but a finite number nonetheless.
That's the number of different images you can have of that particular
size. Any picture you would scan into a computer at that size and
resolution will necessarily be one of those images. Therefore,
contained in those images are the images of the faces of every human
being who ever lived along with the images of the faces of every
person yet to be born.

Huh

 

[Alex74]

could go even further to say that it'll be the images of every single thing possible ever..

 

[Deadbeat]

So you're saying that it's possible to render any face into a 640x480 picture in 256 colours? I could have told you that without the math

 

[Fenris]

That's not mind blowing.

Neither is it really true, all you are saying is that you can "potentially" render that many images.

Lay off the drugs.

It's a pretty big number...

Huh

 

[Vonhelmet]

In fairness, 256^307200 is a pretty absurdly large number. Like, number of atoms in the universe grade.

rofl was never going to go well..

That's not mind blowing.

 

[Cosimo]

I’d stop taking whatever it is as it’s not good for you.

 

[Greenlizard0]

You think that's mindblowing? Did you know that 'fish slice' is a spatula?

Seriously - Mind > Blown I always thought it was a Slotted spoon.

 

[Deadbeat]

Send them back

Fixed

I didnt even know what a fish slice was! Mind blown twice

If you could use child birth as a computational tool, you would have 131million qubits of power every year.

Big number.
Cool.

Console.WriteLine("To " + Math.Pow(256, 307200).ToString() + " and beyond!");

What Buzz Lightyear is actually doing. >_>

 

[stulid]

LOL Kwerk?

 

[Efour]

Fixed

Pfft "Send them Back" is my deliciously ironic, nonsensical reply to threads that i could generate a bit of random uncalled xenophobia !!!

but as Someone said earlier RMA them is much more appropriate
