oh boy, where to begin.
Then I realized with your response that there was something more going on; that there was a rebelliousness and sneering quality to your approach, which is probably where the hackles raised; the way I have chosen to type and which I see works best is being attacked by somebody who has deliberately chosen differently. I must defend 'My Way'! well your damn right. you made ridiculous statements implying that i was suffering from some kind of personality disorder simply because i failed to capitalize proper nouns. i assumed it was just a cheap-shot. now i see that you either genuinely believe it, or this is all a very elaborate deception.
most likely the latter but ill let it slide since it was all good for a chuckle. i cant argue with the fact that you write well, its just the content that is excrement.
I strongly suspect that this type of experience will happen over and over again for you, (you seemed to indicate that it already has done) i doubt it! ah well, (no actually)
Which boils down to: Poster doesn't fit because either A) He doesn't think he is strong enough and only needs a bit of help to sing clearly, or B) Because the Poster find the current system repulsive and attacks it through deliberately choosing a different way and inserting it in a manner which causes disharmony. umm ok helmholtz, seriously are you out of your mind?
but for the record, dont criticize capitalization. im not using leet-talk, "teh fantastic-lad is teh suXX0rz lolz lolz" i dont even know what they do these days actually. but its something to that effect. its also not aim talk or whatever where people might refer to themselves as ppl. or "yo wats up, dis article is bullshit, u got no idea wats they sayin n its like they talkin jibberish". once again something in that spectrum. colorful and such.
if thats what i was typing on slashdot, then yes all your criticisms would be entirely appropriate. however i didnt, but im willing to let it go anyway. just please dont ever put someone else through this kind of ringer of accusations. im sure theres alot of people out there who have been successfully posting for years on forums, without ever capitalizing a single character!
remember megaman, those games frustrated me so much because the levels basically varied in difficulty by maybe 25% max, and they were all hard. and if you didnt do them in the right order then its going to be so hard youll punch your very own cat. now metroid on the otherhand was nicely balanced.
nothing can replace good and thorough testing, its obvious when a game was rushed out the door, like for instance running out of ammo, while playing conservatively. and then having to reload to a place 2 hours back and trying to conserve even more. god there is nothing that pisses me off more. that to me is the worst thing, artificial difficulty. platformers are usually worse in the this regard, with horrible control, or collision detection hampering your progress. or the loathsome camera that points in the totally opposite direction that you are looking at to avoid a wall! why do games still suffer from this.
anyway i think this statistical method is just fine for an rts, but for a more linear type game i think the old trial and error hands on method would result in a game that is more uniformly fun.
lol they uhh, didnt thats how. i mean i had a celeron 300a in that period and top speed for a fsb was 100mhz. remember pc 100 memory? yea thats what these boards supported. also it looks photoshopped, look carefully at the suspicious numbers and you can see the aliasing which doesnt appear on the genuine stuff.
there is an inherent conflict between corporations, and the public.
the corporations want to make the pay the lowest salary possible, and charge the most they possibly can on thier product, while remaining competive.
whilst the employees want to get paid as much as possible, and the consumers want to pay as little as possible for X goods.
this relationship will never change, quick and dirty economics.
the real problem lies with the government, and the creation of laws that favor the corporations with thier lobbying (bribes), in direct opposition to the public that they are allegedly protecting.
and as for microsofts stunt here, well i have to agree with everyone that its pretty offensive, but id expect nothing less from them, and lets be honest:
microsoft is a pretty high profile company, imagine how many other companies get away with this kind of crap everyday.
i mean sony got caught doing the same thing as well, ill bet a large percentage of corporations get away with it.
I didn't realize that it was a chip on your shoulder. It struck me as a self-esteem issue, so I thought I might comment to some benefit. But since it was a chip, (which the bearer wants somebody to notice and have knocked off so that they can experience the joy of being righteously indignant), then I'm similarly happy to oblige. self esteem? please. chip on the shoulder? please. you imply that i have some kind of developmental problem because i dont capitalize letters. to quote you:
That's ridiculous and you know it."
and yes i do know it, its called sarcasm. a little taste of your entire first post, a little passive aggressive maligning that you are so skilled with.
and as for the actual facts, fine i may be incorrect there, ill concede that much, however i still hold that my punctuation is entirely adequate for this medium. and save your psychiatric evaluations please, theyre just a poorly disguised insult, and you know it.
ahh the old "i-have-nothing-to-add-so-ill-criticize-capitaliza tion" gag. the same old crap cleverly hidden beneath this well written veneer of bullshit. but i got a few minutes so ill bite.
for the record. i dont have time to capitalize my i's, and neither do you, we live in a fast paced world, time is money. so basically your saying that your time is worth less than mine. which is fine, i would never dare impose my own personal tenets on someone else, which i might add is something you have no problem doing, and are very vocal about.
i also dont appreciate the connotations linking undercase i's to passivity, or low intelligence. you see when i make wild claims such as these, i will have the common decency to cite my sources.
now if only someone could stop by and moderate him as 100% redundant, or offtopic, that would be super.
this isnt new, the police have been doing this for years with any kind of search, they trump up some reason for suspicion and then they fish around until they find something incriminating.
lol see kids these days have no sense of humor, what i wouldve done in my prime is steal them, and plant them in random peoples mailboxes, turning them on of course. that would be a good joke.
these images are 41x21 pixels, that is 861 pixels, and photoshop claims the filesize is 2.53 kilobytes.
i dont think this info is stored on one photon either, from tfa:
"The image, a "UR" for the University of Rochester, was made using a single pulse of light" now im pretty sure, a pulse isnt a single photon.
i mean what did they use? a flashlight and a cardboard stencil? and why did they use such a shitty camera, i mean 861 pixels?
this is no more a storage medium than a regular camera is, its not storing anything, its just buffering the image, and then photographing it on the other end.
make a/. cut out on a piece of construction paper and tape it to a glass of water, shine a light through it and take a picture of it. thats basically what this is doing, without the fancy cesium.
actually it is possible. take 2 ambiens and a glass of scotch, wait 20 minutes for the flux capacitor to warm up. then things go black, your traveling through time at a spectacular rate, what seems to be the blink of an eye, actually is a solid 4-6 hours. sometimes you wake up in a different place, and feel kinda groggy, thats just lingering space-time lag, it goes away in a few hours.
i think the problem is that murder and rape are usually just 1 or 2 counts. and they usually get it dropped to a lower charge, like manslaughter you know, and the sentences in any case are way too short, with good behavior they can get out of jail in less than 10 years easy.
some shitfaced heroin addict goes to jail for much longer than that for possession of his own stash.
she and other congress members probably have some incentive to push this solution as opposed to other simpler competeting solutions. or even perhaps disregarding the problem as a whole, as nonsense (which it probably is). some contractor paid them money, and therefore got the contract. thats how these things work, usually in the form of some sort of private investment or something to that effect.
frankly id prefer they kept the things in better repair, as most airline crashes are caused by faulty wiring or some such shit. but do you really think this will ever be in every commercial jet? i hope not, because it means more money for an airplane ticket, and more money in taxes likely all so these 2 partys can get richer at the expense of the people. which is what it appears our government is becoming a huge machine geared towards extorting the populus.
well im suprised they were told that a westinghouse tech will come to thier house and flash thier firmware, in my day if a company released a buggy product, and it was hard to flash the bios, well you either ordered a new chip, or you mailed the bastard to the company to be repaired.
so all in all westinghouse gets my stamp of approval.
1964 works fine for me, the only game that ive encountered that didnt work properly was resident evil 2. nesticle, snes9x, vba, neoragex, pretty much every major emulator, except for mame, or epsxe runs 100% without any configuring.
The majority of people are not interested in spending that kind of time to play an old game. However, when the games are presented to them in a super-convenient situation, they have no problem shelling out the $5 to nearly instantly have the game, ready to play, on the system they are already using and sitting in front of. so basically your saying that majority of people are either lazy, stupid, or rich.
well now.
This is the mass media invoking its opinion on you so that you will believe anything.
by mass media i suppose you mean, the life of brian or something? however i picked up most of these theories here and there on some type of media so conceeded.
however this evidence can be interpreted to mean whatever anyone wants it to mean, to say that the amount of radioactive carbon isotope 14 in the fossils for instance indicates age, compared current life, but that comparison depends upon other factors, maybe the atmosphere was thinner and these fossils absorbed far more cosmic radiation than we do now. that would skew the results. my point is is that most of these theorys depend upon the results of other theories and so on. like a game of telephone, where each calculation is based upon the result of another, and the final result having little value or accuracy.
The aluminum super structures and the piles of iron dust, perhaps stainless steel, and burried glass. Cement with rebar in it... (burried of course). Giant stone monuments, and buildings constructed out of 6 foot concrete walls. The aluminum blocks from cars. Underground subway systems. Insulated wiring.
well even if there was anything left first off it would probably be discovered long before it could be identified. second even if someone did think it odd enough to make note of it, very little recorded information would survive to the time when they would be able to make sense of it. and they would probably just melt it and reuse it, or somehow recycle it, without thinking about it. like the ancient romans destroying cities and rebuilding them, or tearing down an old building and reusing the materials.
and as for the analogy with ants, well ants arent even programmed to build ant hills, they just have a few basic functions and respond to a stimulus, and the ant hills just occur as a side effect. they dont deliberately set out to make them. there might not be a practical difference anyway.
but then you have to consider if we as humans are just elaborate biological machines responding chaotically to stimulus, which over time appears to have some pattern which we cling to and call our soul.
ants compared to humans, is a poor comparison anyway.
the point i was trying to make is that its almost impossible to tell what happened anywhere before recorded history. and our ability to keep records longer than a couple thousand years is almost impossible as well, languages change, civilizations rise and fall. records are interpreted as fictin, parables.
so are you saying that each spu can encode a different 1080p movie, at 6x real-time speeds? about the same as a 2.4-3ghz p4?
because that is pretty monstrous power.
the guys on distributed net are working on a port to ps3 linux, and eventually a ps3 native port. so far theyre getting 144 million keys per second on the spu's, my athlonxp 1700 gets 5 million, in comparison.
the point is that they buy out companies with innovative ideas, or just good implementations of existing ideas, then they only allow it to run on windows, etc etc, for anything that looks good, direct3d was one of them, they make it a windows only api, bam limiting competition, then they will pretend to make nice with thier competition, like with sgi and the fahrenheit graphics api, just to let them spin thier wheels while they continue work on direct3d. again just killing off thier competition. they do this over and over and over to dozens of different companies and its disgusting.
thier software isnt bad, its just that if they didnt buy out or force out all their competition, there would be much better alternatives right now.
well since it will come preloaded on every computer sold from major retailers, most people wont have a choice, and since dx10 is locked onto it, if u game u will want it.
if none of the above, then the only reason would involve poor decision making skills.
ayn rand should be required reading in high school curiculum. but since it preaches integrity, perfection, a damn everone else kinda philosophy, elitist and such, its probably considered subversive by the board of education. their job is to produce gears in society anyway, they discourage brilliance.
100% troll? please, google "microsoft donates"
you will see that they donate millions and millions of dollars......
in software.... IE WINDOWS OS

you may or may not have guessed it, suprise!

to keep everyone locked into thier software.

remember megaman, those games frustrated me so much because the levels basically varied in difficulty by maybe 25% max, and they were all hard. and if you didnt do them in the right order then its going to be so hard youll punch your very own cat. now metroid on the otherhand was nicely balanced.
nothing can replace good and thorough testing, its obvious when a game was rushed out the door, like for instance running out of ammo, while playing conservatively. and then having to reload to a place 2 hours back and trying to conserve even more. god there is nothing that pisses me off more. that to me is the worst thing, artificial difficulty. platformers are usually worse in the this regard, with horrible control, or collision detection hampering your progress. or the loathsome camera that points in the totally opposite direction that you are looking at to avoid a wall! why do games still suffer from this.

so basically what everyone is saying is this:

lol that was the best comment ever
you make a good point there, its the same principle, and im sure almost every single cable or satellite provider has a similar product.
i think the problem is that murder and rape are usually just 1 or 2 counts. and they usually get it dropped to a lower charge, like manslaughter you know, and the sentences in any case are way too short, with good behavior they can get out of jail in less than 10 years easy.
