love 'em, just cause we do.

look what i can do...
LONG LONG LONG LONG time ago
haha how cool is that ??

data compression.
as it is like the second last day of term, i'm rather tired and bored. But school ends tomorrow, harry potter comes out next week, and i have a spongebob marathon planned with a totally random person who works with sheep. yeah, its totally action packed. But on with data compression.
data compression is otherwise known as 'source coding' which is the process of encoding information using fewer bits and pieces. very vague isnt it, but i like it.
data compression, okay i'm already annoyed from tying data com.. so from here onwards it shall be refered to as ping. i dont know why, but it shall. okay so ping ratio is the ratio of the size/rate of the origional to the size/rate of the compression data.
ping is a important technique for the online world because it helps decrease the utilization (wow, i like that word) of expencice recources. the only small glitch is that the information must be decompressed which might ruin some applications.
The difference between lossy and lossless data compression...

ohh whatever, ill finish this later.

yay, its later. and i probably should finish this, but since its last terms work, and its no longer last term anymore, i am not going to complete this, so yeah.
