Not a fucking bad JPEG. It's the RETARDED table, it's meant to look RETARDED.
Summary[edit]
The retarded table of the elements.[edit]
This image (or all images in this article or category) was uploaded in the JPEG format. However, in this case, this indicates that someone was a retard. As anyone with basic knowledge of computer image technology (say, a year of applied computer-graphics courses at the undergraduate level) knows, JPEGs suck for diagrams and most screenshots. This is because JPEGs use what is known as lossy compression, which basically means "screw up photos all you want, humans are too blind to notice". But if you do that for solid-colored text on a solid-colored background, you know what? It looks like crap, and is bigger than an equivalent PNG image as well. And the worst part is, you've already screwed it up, so converting it now won't do anything. This image needs to be replaced by a newly-created PNG or SVG image. So, photographs: JPEG. Screenshots of fancy 3D computer games: PNG. Diagrams: SVG, maybe, if you have something that can do it. Anything else: PNG. If you're not sure: PNG, because PNG is lossless and if you upload a 750 KB PNG when you should have uploaded a 10 KB JPEG that would look indistinguishable, someone can fix your mistake by just converting to JPEG. Now you know. |
Licensing[edit]
Licensed under absolutely nothing. Have a fucking field day. Abuse this for your own sick pleasures. | |
I am content releasing my work completely to the public without conservative, territorial, and possessive need to claim some sort of stake in it. I do not need thousands of cleverly written loophole-"some rights reserved" licenses, nor do I need to debate about the superiority of any of them, rather, I toss the entire equation out the window and render it effectively useless. I fully realise that a man in El Salvador could profit wildly from my efforts and gain the millions of dollars I never did, and could theoretically hunt down every copy and burn it, leaving him as the sole distributor; however, this does not offend me, rather, I allow all to be shared, taking the risk and fully knowing the potential repercussions, rather than let the menace that is copyright conquer yet another soul. |
