Sorry, but these forums don't support HTML escape characters. For those of you who want to know what he typed, try this in a text editor of your choice. Hold ALT, and type 0108 on your number pad. Let go of alt and it should print out an 'l' on the screen. Repeat for ALT+0111 to get an 'o'.

Only because you are filling in 10% of them with smilies. Post girls if you want to do something more useful, people will like you more.

SuSE, you are obviously oblivious to the subtleties of what we are talking about. Take a college level physics or chemistry couse and come back.
Only three things in the universe can be measured. Distance, Mass, and Time. Every other physical measurement is derived from a combination of these three fundamental things.
Given: Pixels are not a measure of real distance. You have admitted this.
Given: DPI is not a universal constant. Hell, it changes every time you change resolution.
You draw the conclusion. _________________ Hyperspace Owner

This is a discussion of science versus reality, and the two are not the same.
science is mans atempt to put reason to things without reason. reality is what you acctualy percieve with your own senses.
think about this....
would "it", still be "it", if "it" wasnt named "it"
yes, you can measure by pixels. no, you arnt going to be doing it in math class. nuff said.

Ziggy, you are missing the context. AP asks for dimensions of a CD in pixels so he can make a CD cover. Akai answers him with a a picture showing pixel "distances" of various parts of a CD. I laugh and initially think they are both just making a huge subtle joke, waiting for people to catch on.
Sadly, they were not.

Well, ok, ill admit i dont know much about cd labels or DPI.
all i know is that when i tell my printer to print a 3.5 it prints a 3.212.
damn thing.

I took a gay web design class and one of the questions was how many pixels are there per inch, which I thought was the gayest question ever, so I proceeeded to write how this depends on the resolution and got it wrong.. see apparently the book assumes everyone's using 800x600 so DPI is a constant... gay class... gay...

Ok then, how many pixels are your eyes from the screen?
And now how many?

I guess you didn't even read my reply to that. And if you don't see my point anymore, then you never did.

Just one more thing you don't have a clue about.

You are obviously lost in the world of physics and don't have enough time to understand what a simple word or two actually MEAN.

Pardon?
Dr Brain wrote: | Given: DPI is not a universal constant. Hell, it changes every time you change resolution. |
Yes, but not inbetween when it is stable and allows plenty of time for measuring.

I think Zig may be the only one here besides me that knew what the word 'measure' meant before he studied screen resolutions. Kudos.

No, you are.

We didn't catch on because there was no joke. You can measure using pixels, especially when you are operating under the area of the definition that goes like this: "any of the small discrete elements that together constitute an image (as on a television screen)" - which would be obvious to anyone who has ever done very much image editing in virtually any program. (there's a decent writeup on pixels at wikipedia.org if you're bored)

very gay - classes are gay

Akai, you are the 3rd grader who is ruining the math class for all the other kids. We will have to call your parents.
Actually, what's going on is that I am saying that 1+1=2 and you are saying that 2+2=4. We are not debating the same issue.

No, it's more like you're saying 1+1=2 and he's saying 2+2=5.

For the most part. Glad you finally caught on - maybe you'll stop yelling like a baby that I'm wrong now.
