Sometimes it IS necessary to upgrade though, it can save you real money. I used to spend $$ on firewood for sending smoke signals; but then I made a one-off payment by switching to semaphore flags. Simples!
The "terrorists" have won, because you have changed your otherwise normal behaviour to comply with their un-American agenda.
Make sure you don't refuse to drink anything they "test". If you decide to throw it away, then it's proof positive that the liquid in your cup was probably a dirty bomb. The fact that you're already in an airport will expedite your special rendition to Guantanamo Bay Internment Camp for "processing".
yep, I've already read up on the RenderMan spec etc, and quickly dropped any notions of writing RIB by hand...
I did mention AL (Animation Language) in the original posting, but I'm not keen on using something that may quickly go out of date. At least with POV-Ray, it's being actively developed. However, something like AL is exactly what I'm after. Basically, a POV-like SDL that compiles down to a RIB file that can then be sent to a RenderMan compliant renderer. As you say, much like PostScript. I'll check out the Perl binding's as well.
That way, you can have a couple of beers when you (inevitably) have to fix it. The second bonus is that your beers will be *real* cool if the uptime runs into decades ^_^
Well, I'm sitting in front of a G3 on a Saturday morning editing some poxy SGML files, for a poxier multimedia product; and the G3 has a regular 17 inch SVGA "PC" monitor plugged straight in. No adaptors whatsoever.
The beige PC screen does sort of ruin the blue-and-white effect, although I didn't buy it.

Yeah, but one of those "moons" is probably going to be a Death Star. More than likely there to keep the local governors in line, or something...

Then why not test the big vats of Diet Coke that are all nicely in one place at each of the restaurants and cafes?

What exactly are you guys afraid of?
...and have no truck with the alien too!
My grasp of science is somewhat tenuous at best, but wouldn't all matter collapse into a common gravitational center?
For example, wouldn't a nebula-sized cloud of free electrons still collapse under their gravitational influence?
Is it ok to bellow this as you hurtle towards the earth?
They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
A Fistful of Dollars?
And India, China and Japan.
They all want a piece of it.

yep, I've had a look at Ayam, it looks fine for illustrations, but again doesn't support animation.

Nice!
Depleted uranium makes the shells denser, and hence more destructive. They are not "nuclear" weapons, as such.

Oh yeah, Spock spent way too much time on that thing, no wonder they never have any money on Star Trek
heh
spelling is correct

I always thought that they were the insidious tentacles of Cthulhu...

I think they put the Mac review in there to make them look "trendy".
Heh!
