I'm absolutely certain that an open-source trig library like the phenomenal one that must be present in EVE Online would be a fantastic addition to the free (as in liberty) gaming community.
Isn't that for zero-gravity, no-horizon environments? It might help for a space game, but flight path projections like in MichaelSmith's thread-starting post are MUCH more complicated than what EVE does.
Disclaimer: I've never heard of znerk or the below AC's complaint about him before. I just think EVE is praised for the wrong reasons a lot of the time.
The studios get between 80 and 90% of the admission charge for first run movies for the first 2 weeks of the engagement. The ratio reverses beginning in the 3rd week.
I'm not saying it's in the direct interest of the studios to churn out trash with no "legs", but I am saying that churning out trash with no "legs" really hurts the bottom line of the exhibitors.
I was a cinema manager while the massive commercial reel became the norm, and in order to protect the exhibitors' bottom line, every major chain complies with this state of affairs.
Additionally, this is why cinema snacks are so bloody overpriced -- the theaters really don't make any money unless everyone buys $2 of food.
(Interestingly enough, Titanic was the film that kept lots of mid-sized exhibitors in business, because it was still filling theaters for one or two shows SIX MONTHS after release. There was a big round of consolidation a few years after Titanic proved to be a financial anomaly.)
Makes me wonder if the first commercial spot is worth more.
It is. And the earlier in the program, the more the spot can be sold for, as well. Prices spike back up at the tail end of shows, too, to ride the coattails of the next show. Ditto the 10 minutes on each side of the bottom of the hour in an hour-long show.

I get the impression that many people in power feel that our social problems can be cured by simply applying more law enforcement. I don't know why they think that: it has never worked in the past.
It worked against Shay's Rebellion, but, no, not for the people.
It's just a matter of time until some charlatan claims to find a message in our DNA. In a society that can't grok what's the deal with The Bible Codes, people will believe him.

Han did not shoot first.
"First" implies subsequent shots.
Han shot.
Why RTFA?
can a Business Analyst be used to write application logic? I don't believe so
You either agree with this statement, or you're a BA yourself, or worse.
"Why don't they just make the rest of the plane out the stuff they make the black box out of?"
Isn't one requirement of a patent for it to be non-obvious?!!!
Hey, there, little fella. You must've been trapped down there a long time. Your information packet should be arriving shortly.

ONE rotated? That would make me ill. I have two (HP L1940T)'s rotated sideways. Works great. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

These measurements mean NOTHING to me. How many Volkswagen buses down is it?

BRB, signing up...
If things don't work, allow the parent domain. If things still don't work, go to another site.
COMPLETELY agree. I've "missed out" on hours & hours of $dumbwebvideo every month b/c of NoScript. Thanks for raising my standards!

Insightful?
This is exactly the type of amateurish crap the three-letter agencies get up to all the time.
Truth lies here.
I really like this idea. Someone fund it.
The timecube is just a poor imitation of The People's Cube.
I gave up my evil Oneism when I became the Commissar of Time. In fact, the Timecube is a cheap capitalist imitation.
Timecube isn't an imitation of ANYTHING. Your site, however, is quite typical in its genre.
For extra mindfuck, View Source on Timecube sometime!
If you did, you'd have practically every other person in line at the store getting arrested for shoplifting!)
That's a singularly odd shoplifting technique -- the Queue!
Just cut the quality by a factor of 10, problem solved!
You don't seem familiar with the genre.
I have never gotten malware/spyware from an online social site.
Yeah, porn is how they got me, too.
"Only"? No, I've not seen that. Drive-up ATM's have the touchscreen as well as the Braille buttons around here (Denver).
Does it send an SMS to a premium number in Russia?
I read on the internet that the holes can get really stinky if you don't wash them out.
That sounds like just as much work as a real girl! NO THANKS

There sees you what I did.
Modula-2 and Pascal are what I learned, too. "First one, then the other!"
