NVidia announces Cg: "C" for Graphics
mr_sheel writes: "Thresh's FiringSquad has an article about Cg, a new language developed by NVidia in collaboration with Microsoft. 'Up until now,' Brandon Bell writes, 'game developers have had to use complex assembly language to create the lifelike graphics gamers experience in today's latest games.' Cg eases the process of bringing graphics to the screen and compiles for DirectX 8,9 and OpenGL 1.4. Many companies, including 3D Studio Max, Blizzard, and over 100 game developers, have already jumped onto the Cg bandwagon. Will this replace assembly graphics coding once and for all?"
"Despite decades of social change, the general perception remains that technical workers, scientists, and engineers are unusually intelligent white men who are socially inept, absent-minded nerds."

Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood:
Makes me say 'oh my lord thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet
It feels good when you know you're sown
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such and this is a beat-uh!
U can't touch this - I told you homeboy U can't touch this - yeah, that's how we livin' and you know U can't touch this - look in my eyes, man U can't touch this - yo, let me bust the funky lyrics U can't touch this
Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that now you know you wanna dance
So move out of your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling hold on
Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a beat
They can't touch - yo! I told you U can't touch this - why you standing there, man? U can't touch this - yo, sound the bells, school is in, sucker U can't touch this
Give me a song or rhythm making 'em sweat
That's what I'm giving 'em, now they know
You talk about the Hammer, you're talking about a show
That's hyped and tight, singers are sweating
So pass them a wipe or a tape to learn
What it is going to take in the '90s to burn the charts
Legit either work hard or you might as well quit
That's the word, because you know U can't touch this - u can't touch this Break it down Stop! Hammer time!
Go with the flow
It is said that if you can't groove to this
Then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves, run your fingers through your hair
This is it for a winter
Dance to this an' you're gonna get thinner
Move slide your rump
Just for a minute, let's all do the bump
Bump bump bump
Yeah, u can't touch this - look man U can't touch this You better get hyped, boy 'cause you know ya can't U can't touch this - ring the bell, school's back in Break it down

Every time you see me
The Hammer's just so hyped
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mike
Now why would I ever stop doing this?
When others making records that just don't hit
I've toured around the world from London to the Bay
It's Hammer, go Hammer, M.C.Hammer, yo Hammer
And the rest can go and play 'can't touch this'
