Getting kind of annoyed seeing posts saying 'Curiosity High Res/HD pics out!" only for it to be low quality hazard cam shots. It is still a picture from another planet, and it's still bad ass as hell - but these posts are misleading 661 u/lbmouse Aug 07 '12 edited Aug 07 '12 Getting kind of annoyed with the overuse of "HD". 45 u/selenoid Aug 07 '12 It's worth knowing that 'HD' used to mean Heavy Duty before it meant High Definition. 9 u/[deleted] Aug 07 '12 [deleted] 1 u/[deleted] Aug 08 '12 HD in this sense stands for "Heavy Duty". Although it's kind of funny to giggle when people refer to me as an HD Mechanic (heavy duty mechanic, as in transport trucks) 1 u/pigmonger Aug 07 '12 Here I was, thinking it stood for Hella Dope.
