Qrodo bring you the Pi value poll

An amazing news item from the state capitol of South Dakota – bastion of know-nothing conservatism. This represents legislating science without asking scientists … sort of like the bill that declared the value of pi to be 3.:

Sumo wrestling

Blogger Qrodo — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:09:31 +0000

Sumo wrestling is Japan’s national sport. It originated in ancient times to entertain the Shinto gods. Many of the rituals with religious background are still performed. Yokozuna (横綱, yokozuna) is the highest rank in sumo. When a wrestler reaches the rank of yokozuna, he cannot lose this status, but is expected to retire when his time is due. Many former Sumo wrestlers remain active in the sumo world as members of the Japan Sumo Association.

The one currently active yokozuna is Hakuhō (白鵬), the 69th yokozuna, from Mongolia, promoted in May 2007.

Taihō Kōki (大鵬幸喜) was the 48th Yokozuna in the Japanese sport of sumo wrestling. He is generally regarded as the greatest sumo wrestler of the post-war period. He became a yokozuna in 1961 at the age of 21, the youngest ever at the time, and he won a record 32 tournaments between 1960 and 1971.

The basic rules of sumo are simple: the wrestler who first touches the ground with anything besides the soles of his feet, or who leaves the ring before his opponent, loses. The dohyō (土俵) is the ring in which sumo wrestling bouts are held. A modern dohyō is a circle of rice-straw bales 4.55 meters in diameter, mounted on a square platform of clay 6.7m on a side, and 34 to 60 cm high. The fights themselves usually last only a few seconds, or in rare cases, about a minute.

MainConcept H.264

Blogger Qrodo — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 08:13:49 +0000

Qrodo is adding support for Mpeg/H.264. Better compression and better perceived video quality compared to the old ON2 VP 6. However it requires more CPU power. Use a dual core Intel for high resolution broadcasts. More browsers are starting to support the tag, where Mpeg/H.264 and/or Ogg/Theora will become natively supported in the browser.

Bearded Man playing golf live on Qrodo, NOT!

Kenneth Pernyer — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:25:53 +0000

Moses, Jesus, and a bearded man were playing golf.

Moses pulled up to the tee and drove a long one in the middle of the fairway,
but rolled directly toward a water hazard. Quickly, Moses raised his club,
the water parted and it rolled to the other side safe and sound.

Next, Jesus walks up to the tee and hits a nice long one directly toward
the same water trap. It landed in the center of the pond and hovered over
the water. Jesus walked out on the pond and chipped it up onto the green.

The bearded man gets up and sort of randomly whacks the ball. It heads out
over the fence and into oncoming traffic on a nearby street. It bounces
off a truck and hits a nearby tree, it bounces onto the roof of a nearby
shack and rolls down into the gutter, down the downspout, out onto the fairway
and right toward the very same pond. It hits a little stone and bounces out
over the water and onto a lily pad where it rested quietly.
Suddenly, a very large bullfrog jumped up on the lily pad and snatched the
ball into his mouth. An eagle swooped down and grabbed the frog and flew away.

As they passed over the green, the frog squealed with fright and dropped
the ball which bounced right into the hole for a beautiful hole-in-one.

Moses turned to Jesus and said, “I hate playing with your dad.”
