I used to play Descent in 3d back in '97 with liquid crystal shutter glasses (SimulEyes VR) it was the bee's knees in those days (and expensive).
It rocked, especially over the IPX network against my housemates and neighbours. Good memories.
I'm looking forward to using the next generation headsets for this to play against my new housemates (my kids).

Ruby 2.1.0 Released

And I accidently sent my comment away. The syntax is great, but I don't like the way Ruby hasn't crystallized yet. Every new version they somehow remove compatibility with the old versions, that's bad. My scripts stop working and I have to fix everything, this is not userfriendly.
Documation is scattered and incomplete. It's something that needs to fixed if they want to get to version 4
The NSA could detect anomalous phenomena or detect certain sociological patterns that are impossible to find unless you monitor as much as possible on a global scale.
It would be logical for them to look. If what they find can be exploited, it would be much more powerful and stealthy than any new conventional weapon.
Nobody's looking for a new a-bomb anymore, except for the acclaimed terrorists.
No, your kid is probably not going to be "irreparably mentally harmed" from being exposed to violent video games too early. But there is such a thing as exposing a kid to shit that they're too young to handle (or understand). And that's not a good thing.
A kid's innocence is a precious thing, and it's a shame to squander it too early. That doesn't mean I want to have my 12-year-old still believing in Santa Claus, but I also don't want him introduced to the ugly world of violent crime, drugs, and prostitution while he's still in kindergarten either.
You probably have the best comment here so far.
It all depends how you support your kids. If you don't have time to set the moral standards for your kid (because you're a single parent and gone all day - keep this in mind when watching Dr.Phil in the distant future) and buy GTA5 to basically babysit your teenager - you're in trouble.
My ISP had a bandwidth limit and a data cap, but you also got a shell account. So I used SSH port forwarding to redirect and compress my connection to usenet servers, that way I used less bandwidth and my downspeed was higher.
they could use it for streaming the menus of certain games, so an essential part of the game is ran on their servers while the game itself resides on the console.
On my first night of my Ibiza holiday I dove, slightly intoxicated, into the swimming pool and stayed there for at least hour. Not sure if I also pissed in the pool. I forgot my new iPhone was in the pocket of my swimming trousers. Next day I found my wet phone, still in the pocket, after weeks drying in the sun it worked again. I had to repace the battery though. I bought a new iPhone in the meantime and gave the one from the pool to my girlfriend, she's very happy with it.
the 17inch MacBook Pro has a lot of room beneath the keyboard. Instead of a keypad, there could be room for a 10inch touchscreen. It would add some extra value to this relative expensive member of the MacBook family.
basicly you can get all information out of someone with this technique.
you "just" torture them to get the information and wipe their memories of the interogation and do whatever you want with the aquired information. you can even let the subject loose and observe some more, knowing what you've learned from interogating the subject.
it would be cool in a freaky kind of way to have somesort of plugin that could do this to video in real in time for camming and stuff. I'd use Donald Duck as a source.
oh wait did I click Post Anonumousluy?

software raid can be a lot of work to fix under linux. My readynas has a light showing which drive fails - replace it and let the device do its thing. Then it works again - saves me a lot of hours looking up info on the internet and praying it works.
A decade ago, before all the LOTR hyping, I was in eager waiting for 'middle earth' to arrive. According to the developers it offered most of the above with nice art on their site, I really wanted something different from my Ultima Online PK looting pastime. So I bought the complete works of Tolkien for about $80 on Amazon to get into my role a bit. Keep my mind of the dinosaurs, in the media at that time - supposed to be the next big thing at the time. Sadly the company never got to release their gem. This game sounds like a bit of fun, but having looked on the sideline at these games, I'm getting a bit tired, there's nothing revolutionary here. Even worse, still it doesn't really seem to be focused on real role playing. Just another pump and dump RPG scheme in the wake of world of warcraft?
If you don't want/have time to tinker it yourself, you should consider one of the infrant readynas models. It's very easy to setup, reliable and has a lot of interesting features.
I really like to buy music online, especially in the iTMS. But none of the legal online music shops sell their tracks in a lossless format! As long as they don't do that I don't see buying tracks online as an option.

Compression and portforwarding is a golden combination. You can login into your providers ssh server (if they have that) and forward/compress the port of your favourite usenet server. That way I had a 300kb/sec speed boost - I got more data than my adsl account normally could handle. Maybe with this compression boost there's even room for more bandwidth on my 8mbit account. I'll bet my provider's going to be even more happy with me again.
I have the V1200 case for a year now. (not the plus version)
I bought it at that time to keep my dual opteron system in. due to the size of the extended atx motherboard it was hard to find a case, after some searching I got this one. Yes it was expensive, but the computer parts were expensive as well. It's a really great case, it opens up easily and I don't regret buying it.
OK, seriously, I hope this finally ends all the lame "Yeah, but it only got a one-button mouse" idiocy whenever Apple hardware is discussed around here. You always could use a multi-button mouse with OS X. Now you can do it with a shiny new Apple mouse. Let's put these snipes to rest, k?
I just hope that the powerbooks are going to have multiple mouse buttons.
Yeah just like my little brother who was studying for one year in the usa. Taking photos is just his hobby.
He only took some black and white shots of a dead tree standing near a parking lot near a carnival in L.A. just after closing time. Within minutes he was surrounded by security guards and little time later he was taken away by the fbi. It seems there was a little powerhouse behind the tree which was on the list of suspected terrorist targets. They questioned him for 4 hours until he could go.
My younger brother is white and Dutch, I can only imagine the trouble he'd been into if he were an exchange student from Egypt or some other Arab state.

I started programming Ruby a year or two ago. I was using jruby and watir-webdriver to automating firefox. I love the syntax of Ruby.

Is this the same as the GM release?
I remember making a sound'card' (DA converter) with some resistors attached to the parallel port of my 386dx. Could it have been Covox?
