Original Quake using Doom 3 Technology

tc writes "Charles Hollemeersch is currently developing a source port for the original Quake that adds "stencil shadows". Stencil shadows are extremely detailed and realistic. The results are very impressive. The code is apparently based on the same algorithms used in Doom 3." Sure makes me wish Quake looked this good the first time around, but I reckon my computer wouldn't have been able to render it fast enough to play it, either.

    This is just another example of spineless crap moderation here on /.

    CENSORSHIP WORKS!

    (*)Note, the word community used often on Slashdot, this is referring to a proto communist commune.

    So, you busy little plebian proletariats, get busy, you have some censoring to do! FUN!

    Good job you little neo-commies. Don't want to hear the other side, shoot the fucker in the head as an ENEMY OF THE STATE [In this case anyone who seeks to improve the sad state of /.].

    I have a Gun and the Constitution [Not the urinated-on pissed-on hacked fucked up one WashingTOON thinks exists, I mean the real one, with Jefferson and Madison at my side], please, give me an excuse to use them both.

    A few haikus to commemorate the sucktitude:

    The reason China blocked Slashdot is that when Jiang Xemin saw at how good "The Editors" at Slashdot are at suppressing the community, he knew that if more of his party members saw this degree of suppressive efficacy, he would be deposed, for the good of the people, of course, in favor of Rob Malda as the all new supreme dictator and premier of China.

    SAYINGS, quips et al:

    It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. - Sir Winston Churchill (Especially when your democratic peers twist democracy into a reason commit cencorship, to squash dissenting or unpopular opinions, and refer to them as trolls, flaimbait overrated or offtopic when they aren't any of the said)

    A monarchy is a merchantman which sails well, but will sometimes strike on a rock, and go to the bottom; a republic is a raft which will never sink, but then your feet are always in the water. - Fisher Ames

    Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. - H. L. Mencken.

    Democracy: The substitution of election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. - George Bernard Shaw.

    The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver. - Jay Leno.

    The Constitution poses no threat to our current form of governement. (Death to those who defile the root documents of a free nation to make economic freedom Supercede Freedom! Freedom First! Free market Second!)

    Occam's Razor "Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily." "Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate" "Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora" "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" Translation: " "Simple explanations are preferred to complex ones" Modern fucking translation "JUST DO IT."

    Reading Slashdot at anything above -1 is like trying to put a shit filter on your ass.

    Get busy moderating this down, you little pack of obedient prefects of the corrupt state! You are the vanguards of purity, and dissent is not allowed!

    Linquists examine the changing meaning of the word "Like" and its uses in modern speech. You appear to be using the "hedging" form:

    For example, "like" can be a hedge, when the speaker is not quite sure what he or she is about to say is accurate. (Example: "He has, like, six sisters.")

    THE frickin' topic itself is off-topic by being redundant!!!

    Sad to say, but Slashdot seems to be slipping towards that sad reality where shortly the trolls will write "Slashdot is dying" and be 100% correct...

    Schroeder or Stoiber: who will win?
    In a few days, the elections for chancellor will be held in germany. Candidates are:
    Gehard Schroeder, SDP (Sozial Demokratisch Partei) with his "Auschwung" economical program to defeat unemployment, and
    Edmund Stoiber, CDU (Christlich Deutsch Union) with his "Wirtschaftswunder" strategy for economical prosperity.
    Chances are that either of them will gain absolute majority of votes, which is required by the german constitution for the nomination as chancellor.

    Windows is not the problem and Linux isn't the answer. If Linux is so great then why do you have to recompile the kernel just to install a browser? I have been an MSCE for 2 years now
    and I feel that I have much experience in this game. All one really needs to do is just install Zone Alarm Pro, the set-and-forget firewall. That's how I have advised my organization to solve our old Klez problems. Face the facts, as long as you're running Zone Alarm, you don't even need to check any logs but about every 6 months. No virii either.
