-Given that any picture is worth 1000 words, see [ >>2347956 ]

-and that a regular movie is around 90 minutes long.

- There is around 24 pictures (frames) filmed per second

we can conclude, that a movie is worth around 24 000 words every second and multiply that with the length of movie in seconds (5400), I can estimate that a movie is worth around 129600000 words.

To the (unwitting) person who posted that huge-res pic, I saved it and tried to put it as my desktop wallpaper, and consequently my entire computer froze, and after nearly half an hour of restarting I found out explorer.exe was taking 2GB+ of my RAM because of it.

tl;dr don't put massive res pics as your wall, downsize first

That would be me. Glad you liked it. I guess I should have warned you first... :-) but try the smaller images.

I couldn't find any program that would have displayed that monster. But, being a C++fag, I wrote my own little program that loaded and displayed that huge image in smaller pieces. Not sure if I still have it somewhere.

>What's the point of art?

The term "art" is so enclusive it's completely meaningless (for example if i run down the street naked throwing shit at people, that's art!). Art= meaningless term.

(Now, i do like entertainment, and i can marvel at the beauty of something, or just think it looks cool, and i can appreciate the skill it takes to create a detailed painting etc. but none of these things require some sort of transcendant notion of "art").

I would have thought rational /sci/entists would know better than to buy into such self-serving intellectual wankery as the unscientific notion of "art" (not to mention be against it because of the way it holds society back).
