Floyd's usage is strictly in accordance with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_process_%28thermodynamics%29 as it applies information theory. If you think there is no room for reversible processes in information theory see http://tinyurl.com/otp5pug

since when does editing digital images on a computer become a thermodynamics problem?

Floyd L. Davidson
Since Claude Shannon published "A Mathematical Theory of Communications".

Look it up. Wonderful paper...

Sandman
Yes, this is the level of idiocy one can expect from Floyd - he thinks that image processing became a thermodynamic problem at a point in time when someone published some information. Before that - not related. After that, totally related.

Yeah, hilarious, I know.

Though I've only followed this news group a few months I seem to have noticed a trend of all threads asymptotically approaching a zero SNR, though I guess it depends a lot on how one defines S and N. Seems the entropy increases with each post. [YMMV]

Floyd L. Davidson
It isn't really directly related to each post.

It's each post from about 8 or 9 specific different people. The most prolific are nospam and Sandman, with Savageduck a hair behind. When all three contribute the decline is exceedingly rapid.

This newsgroup could use the moderation of a Maxwell Demon. Sit there to open or close the doorway depending on the "stupid level" of messages zinging by.
