n. [Commodore users] Any compression routine which irretrievably loses
|
|
|
|
|
valuable data in the process of crunch ing it. Disparagingly used for lossy
|
|
|
|
|
methods such as JPEG. The theory, of course, is that these methods are only
|
|
|
|
|
used on photographic images in which minor loss-of-data is not visible to
|
|
|
|
|
the human eye. The term pixel sort implies distrust of this theory. Compare
|
|
|
|
|
bogo-sort.
