From what I understand of it(which is very little, I'll admit): It started with a random bit of code to generate a polygon. It then "mutated" that bit code a bit and used the "mutated" version to render a few polygons. Next, it compared the polygons to the "master image". If they were found to be more "true" to the master image, this bit of modified code was kept to begin the next iteration.
So, while there is randomness involved, it also follows a specific guide(the master image), within its limitations.
I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong.

On my box it's currently taking around 450MB. I usually kill it when it gets to around 700MB. Maybe it's because I use GMail and Yahoo! Mail open all the time?

Also, you'll find your aural experience greatly improved if the wires are of high quality and raised slightly above floor level. I've also noticed marked improvements if you chill the wires(and generally keep the room cool). Cool equipment = warm sound. Who knew?
Give Th' Legendary Shack Shakers a shot. Not my favorite site in the world, but there's a few samples there. Can also find a few albums out in torrent form. Maybe not quite your style, but I'd recommend at least a couple listens. Apparently they have a killer live show.

While I'll admit my initial comment is rather succinct, it is, in fact, on topic.
That's a nifty bit of code, there.
Yeah. I did it to piss on everyone elses parade.
Awesome. That is all.
It falls sideways, just to screw with those smarmy scientists.
Except for the fact that they quite clearly state that they don't want your help. Or anyone's help.
I told u I was hardcore!!!!
As I probably would not be able to identify what substance was being consumed, no.
At best I could say, "I saw somebody smoking a hand-rolled cigarette." which I smoke myself, with tobacco.
that Spore would require a more persistant check than once daily.
One of the main draws, for me, was the ability to populate the game universe with the creations of other people(A single-player MMORPG, as they say).
Is this not the case, anymore?
Or is this just bitching about there being a "Legit Check" every 10 days, among all the other connecting that should be going on?
the fuck up.
Seriously.
All of you.
Wasn't the pass done under a non-default mode?

Or maybe I'm thinking of something else?

Madness.
Mine's sitting at 68MB as I type this.
No tweaking of any sort. Just now hit 70MB
Run NoScript, too.
or a group of them! a "cluster", if you will. maybe, for a lark, you could name this cluster after some mythical hero of old. that would be awesome.
imagine a gilgamesh cluster of those! I prefer the genji cluster, myself.
Exactly!
If it's not news on Slashdot, it's news on Fark!
I've not seen it, yet, but if the sketchy thing I saw(on wikipedia?) was accurate:
...it even has Sin Spawn/Scales!
We called it Sin.
Sitting upon my desk, containing a 250GB hard drive, is a nice(IMO) NexStar 3 enclosure.
Connect it to the computer via USB2.0. Connect the drive(no need to actually place it in the enclosure) and you're good to go.
Here's the one I have(first result, as of this writing).
Helps to get her name right, yourself.
:)
It's Elonka DunIn.
I thought TrueCrypt had this capability, at least on encrypted "containers".
Basically, if you put in password1, you get one set of data decrypted(and shown). If you put in password2, you get a completely different set of data.
Seems like a good way to get past these issues...assuming I'm remembering right.PBF has been a favorite of mine for a while, now. Here's some others(wiki pages. Paper comic sites(read: syndicate sites) suck more often than not):
Zits
Online comics:Get Fuzzy
Pearls Before Swine
Lio
Schlock Mercenary
Something Positive
Erfworld
Penny Arcade
Irregular Webcomic!
There's a few others, but that's most of them.
I did. Apparently you missed it. Tip: It's the one directly left of the 'Submit' button, usually. ;)
Congratulations to the rovers, the people that built them and the people that continue to work with them.
This time(well, currently) they seperated his BS from a BBC link.
I think we need a custom snake for Pigpail, one that expands enormously once inserted into the vein.
