This is interesting. Using a wide-band net I can browse one movie in 10s or less regardless of the delay of CPU and the net,which add it up to about 20s.I never cheat while keeping this speed and keeping my Specificity 100% and Sensitivity 99%.By working 3h a day I've got into the "top 100" list. So...

well I think the upper part of the movie is "below surface" in the last 7or8 pictures.well,who knows,but the lower part is absolutely "bad focus"

There is an important rule here given:track and bad focus at the same time:track!

http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/myevents_viewer.php?movie_id=37414 it's at almost the top ,in the middle-top,when focus goes down to the last picture it begins to show some feature of a track I think,it's getting into focus and it has a "ring" .It's very link some of the tracks in the tutoria...

Okay folks. Please stop with the bickering. I will lock or delete any thread that devolves into such arguments. If scores are not correctly being calculated it is a concern so far as it could create a bias that makes it more difficult for us to identify movies with likely tracks in them. The absolu...

ut it IS a problem and it's somehow disturbing to some. No, its NOT a problem, and its only disturbing to children. The only scores anyone should care about are the two Percentage scores. They judge the quality of your work. If someone can't keep those in the high 90s, then they should run along an...

to icebike:
I agree with you.We are not only caring about the rank,but it IS a problem and it's somehow disturbing to some.

perfect.

to Nikita: I agree that one should be informed immediately of whether the film is a one meant only to test people's ability.But I think it is hard ,and not necessary as well, to inform one of those first-viewing-or-rechecking thing.Because I don't think it easy to manage it when the system works as ...

well,I like the idea of giving those particles meaningful names.
I think of "opener" because it's the dust that opens our eyesight,etc.
However, the temptation to name it after some people I know or I love is almost irresistable,so I am not sure what will I do when I've found one.

well,I am not much concerned about how much the volunteers are satisfied or disappointed,it's a matter of science ,not that of fulfilling wills.
