Krass! Ich glaub, wenn man mal irgendwann am Ende ist mit der Technologie, also an der absoluten High-Tech Grenze, dann ist man bei japanischen Schreibmaschinen angekommen... kein Wunder dass die sich schon um Roboter kümmern, werden wir noch an Mikrochips rumbasteln.

Wow! Ich bin schwer beeindruckt!!!
Kann man bei sowas tricksen oder muss man das pixeln?

[Chromanoid]

pixeln würde ich sagen. es gibt eben nicht nur programmierer, die ihr fach verstehen, sondern auch digitalkünstler ;)

[Jonathan]

Ach, man kann bestimmt auch sehr weit tricksen. Wäre mal eine coole Aufgabe, für einen Contest.
Zuerst die 256 Farben bestimmen, mit denen man das Bild am besten annähern kann. Und dann ein möglichst geschicktes Dithering Muster berechnen, das die Farbverläufe abbildet, aber nicht die feinen Details zerstört. Das könnte ansich schon cool aussehen, ein bisschen Handarbeit wird aber wohl noch nötig sein.
Noch geiler wäre es natürlich, dass als post-pro Filter zu implementieren. Natürlich muss man dann sehr stark aufpassen, dass man die Palette möglichst selten ändert und dass durch das Dithering Muster möglichst wenig Unruhe in das Bild kommt. Das könnte dann aber schon sehr cool aussehen :) (ähnlich wie halt damals XIII den Comic Look salonfähig gemacht hat.)

- Olav Mjelde.

44. "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone."
- Bjarne Stroustrup

43. “Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter.”
- Eric S. Raymond

42. “Don’t worry if it doesn’t work right. If everything did, you’d be out of a job.”
- Mosher’s Law of Software Engineering

41. “I think Microsoft named .Net so it wouldn’t show up in a Unix directory listing.”
- Oktal

40. “Fine, Java MIGHT be a good example of what a programming language should be like. But Java applications are good examples of what applications SHOULDN’T be like.”
- pixadel

39. “Considering the current sad state of our computer programs, software development is clearly still a black art, and cannot yet be called an engineering discipline.”
- Bill Clinton

38. "The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should therefore be regarded as a criminal offense."

36. "FORTRAN is not a flower but a weed — it is hardy, occasionally blooms, and grows in every computer."
- Alan J. Perlis.

35. “For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading edge, could be so useless. And then it occurred to me that a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match.”
- Bill Bryson

34. "In My Egotistical Opinion, most people's C programs should be indented six feet downward and covered with dirt."
- Blair P. Houghton.

33. "When someone says: 'I want a programming language in which I need only say what I wish done', give him a lollipop."

32. "The evolution of languages: FORTRAN is a non-typed language. C is a weakly typed language. Ada is a strongly typed language. C++ is a strongly hyped language."
- Ron Sercely

- Larry Wall

20. "I invented the term 'Object-Oriented', and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind."
- Alan Kay

19. "Learning to program has no more to do with designing interactive software than learning to touch type has to do with writing poetry"
- Ted Nelson

18. “The best programmers are not marginally better than merely good ones. They are an order-of-magnitude better, measured by whatever standard: conceptual creativity, speed, ingenuity of design, or problem-solving ability.”
- Randall E. Stross

- Christopher Thompson

12. "Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight."

- Brian W. Kernighan.

10. "People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones."
