    "The video editing software built into your computer" ...
    Apparently the writer of this episode has never used a Windows PC.

    • @JohnDCrafton
      @JohnDCrafton 7 лет назад +1

      WMM is not and has never been "built into" Windows. When it was available, it was download only, most people didn't even know it existed, and it hasn't even been a thing since Windows 7. Also it was terrible and extremely limited.

    • @GradyPhilpott
      @GradyPhilpott 7 лет назад

      I have WMM on my Window 10 machine and I didn't download it. Whether it's built in or downloaded is unimportant, as long as it will run, which it does. I agree that it has its limitations.

    • @JohnDCrafton
      @JohnDCrafton 7 лет назад

      I don't know how you got it if you didn't download it. None of my Windows 10 machines have it, nor do any of the others I've seen.
      The last stable release of WMM was in 2012. Microsoft doesn't offer support for it anymore, you can't even download it from an official source.
      Story Remix was meant to replace it, and now that I know it exists, I see that it is built in to Windows 10, but only if you have the Fall Creators Update.. it's part of the Photos app, so it's very well hidden. There's no indication anywhere I've seen that it exists unless you specifically open the Photos app (which I never do, because I never used it).
      So, a few points:
      1. Apparently, according to Wikipedia, WMM was included in Windows ME, XP, and Vista. I used both XP and Vista and never new it existed back then, so it must have been very well hidden (I have been using Windows since 95, skipped ME because it was trash).
      2. It _does_ matter whether it is built in or downloaded, because of the specific wording used in this video. If you don't understand that, you didn't understand my comment.
      3. There is video editing software built into the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update that is very well hidden (mentioned above). I have verified that it exists, but I haven't tried to use it, so I can't say how functional it is.

      @liionheart9008 7 лет назад +4

      I think they probably record these episodes months in advance. And probably more than one video, too. It probably helps to have it queued up and ready for a regularly scheduled upload. That's the only explanation I can think of.

    • @GaviLazan

      And that is why during snow games the line goes over players if they are wearing any white. When it snows, they have to add certain types of whites to the mix as well, some of which match player’s uniforms.

      Unless it involves putting me in one of those super fancy suites on the 50 yard line that costs per game more than I make in a year, catered food with wait staff and a super fancy limo ride from my front door to the suites front door, me + foot ball = NO. Even with all the above, you'd still get a probably not.

Also thanks for not forgetting there are Sci show fans who are also sports fans as well.

    • @GD-tt6hl
      @GD-tt6hl 7 лет назад +2

      downs = tries to get 10 yards (1st try=1st down 2nd try=2nd down, 3rd try=3rd down, 4th try=4th down)
      accomplish 10 yards movement = 4 more tries... or downs (that's the yellow line! get the ball there, you get 4 more tries!)
      the underlining strategy is you can make it look like you are going for a 1st down (aka the yellow line= 4 more tries) and go all the way for an actual touchdown. You can go with either. You can make it look like you are going for a touch down and then go for a 1st down. And you could try and do both at the same time! They could throw it short for a 1st down, or throw it long and go for a touch down.

    • @TheJaredtheJaredlong
      @TheJaredtheJaredlong 7 лет назад +1

      As a person who doesn't follow football, I literally always thought that a down was when the ball stopped moving. Like the guy running with it gets tackled, so he's down. And then if a team gets tackled four times without scoring then they suck and the other team gets a try. All this nonsense about 10 yards just seems needlessly complicated.

    What happens if someone secretly feeds u an addictive substance in something u consume daily, like a cup of juice?
    Do u become addicted to juice?
    Does the juice quench the urge like a placebo effect?

    • @Howtard
      @Howtard 7 лет назад +1

      If it's a physically addictive substance, they're addicted to the substance. It wouldn't have a placebo effect (at least a lasting one)
      If you used conditioning however you could cause the effects you describe, but that would be psychological rather than a chemical dependency.
      What you describe would also make you a sociopath and land you in jail if you were caught, which is pretty likely if it's something the person is consuming it often; unless they _only_ got it from you, you'd get busted when they notice the difference.
      If you've never heard of it before, google Pavlovian responses. And don't actually do this, ever.

Is it the mix of alcohol or the cigarettes or do you think there is something wrong with the beer due to its bad taste

    The ball in American football is a foot in length. This is why the game is called "football". When soccer started to become popular in the US, they couldn't call it football because that would be confusing. They instead borrowed the originally British term "soccer", which is an abbreviation of As"soc"iation Football. There, I hope people read this before starting stupid arguments in the comment section.

    It was impressive tech back when they first started doing it. Now when the average smart phone can do AR/VR and a desktop can do 4k 60fps rendering, a bunch of camera sensors and a 3d map of the field doesn't seem all that impressive.

      all I'm saying is that it's the same principle. also why would you need an app to do that? If you are really at the game you can see it better without looking through your phone and they have makers on the side of the field for the 1st down

    *_...as Science goes, the Scoring of Football is very unscientific, but technological: Referees know the technology of scoring but when they come to an unusual situation their responses approximate 'the odor of' uncollected garbage (there are worse)-for example the receiver catches the football just as [he] crosses the Endline inside the Corner Pylons but does-not-touch the Endzone, instead landing foot outside the Sideline, obviously-not-a-"touch, down", but the Referees-call-them-that, call, " Touchdown"-like, what, language, are they speaking-it's a 'Manned Field Goal' (4 pts)..._*

    Never gave much thought about those first down lines before, especially how they are not 'painted' over the players when they are crossing it and stuff. Pretty interesting thing to know about.
    Now tell me this Sci Show, what is going on with those 3D-looking, field-angle-defining logos in Rugby matches on TV. Are those painted on the field? Or ar they computer generated as well?

    American football should switch from yards to meters. A first down would be about 1 yard longer than it is now, and American football fields would be about 10 yards longer. Some stadiums would need some tweaking, but most would be fine.

  • @DagarCoH
    @DagarCoH 7 лет назад

    Hmm, seems pretty expensive to measure every new field and report exact camera angles. With todays home computers, you can make a live frequency analysis that can determine where the white lines are. If you have some measure of where the starting point for the attacking team is, and if the white lines are 10 yards apart and at least two are in the pixture, you can use this frequency to draw a parallel line on the field ten yards from the starting point live, without any additional external measurement needed. The fact that this is a camera feed would make the algorithm even more robust as you have earlier images to compare to. The occlusion of the line by players is solved in real-time already, as the video stated, so that also is no problem.
    Should be possible for the NFL to set up a decent computer somewhere to perform these calculations and forget about all that measuring and camera angle and position measurements.
    I am not an American though, so maybe I misunderstood something about that line.

    • @MrGladiator20
      @MrGladiator20 7 лет назад

      They call it downs because whenever the ball carrier goes “down” the play ends. You get four of them to make it ten yards from the start also known as the Line if Scrimmage. Basically, you get four tries to try and make it across the first down marker (The thing that resets your downs and is ten yards from the start). Most teams don’t use all four and just kick the ball to the other team on their last down.
