First, if you haven't seen the movie "Waking Life", do so immediately, it's a great movie. Secondly, the sountrack is very enjoyable, has more of a latin flare, but I suppose I would still call it jazz.
Did they think about who would write updates for the game, or was the team so good that they got it perfect on their first try. If that's the case, why on earth would you fire them all?
I am looking for "best methods" for mySQL/PHP, after hacking away for a year or so now building web apps, i want to do it the right away, using OOP where appropriate, and making using of proper formatting and commenting.
Please, show me some really well done mySQL/PHP stuff, who is setting the trends?
There was also reportedly a "Frances Army" game in the works, but the gameplay proved to be rather boring. Instead, the game has been shifted to more of an esipionage style game, with the player taking the role of a goverment official whose goal it is to destroy all documents detailing Iraq and Frances numerous agreements and connections before the pesky, oil-loving, cowboy Americans arrive and mess up their plans.
They just didn't wait long enough... The theory is basically trying to say, if you wait long enough, everything MUST happen. How this "experiment" addresses that theory at all is beyond me. And yes, it WAS a waste of money.
I took the last exam of my undergraduate career yesterday and will graduate tommorow with $0 in debt.
Here a few of the things I did to make that happen:
1. Went to a state school in my home town and lived at home most of the time. Saved a ton of money there.
2. Freelanced and made some decent money (while learning my trade!!!!!) instead of a burger-fliping job...
3. Co-oped three semesters, and used the money from this to buy for a good chunck of school.
4. Didn't abuse credit cards or live a crazy lifestyle (beer adds up, first from the wallet, then to the belly)
5. And lastly, in the spirit of full disclosure, my dad help me a little the first few years, take advantage of every oppurtunity you get...
Yeah, I know sounds like my college years sucked, but they didn't really. I didn't need dorms to find friends, and I traveled a lot with money i saved over the years. For those of you about to say that most state schools suck. I agree, ALL school suck if you attitude is that you are going there to sit in class and be pumped full of info. I learned so little IN class, but out of class, I learned a ton, special projects, starting a business, independant studies, etc...
There is just about no better feeling to be had with your clothes on that having your car and dipolma paid off.
I mean for places like the trasporter room, you really do need the latest and greatest, to be sure you're not shooting people into a Cardasian ship or something, but for officers lounges where Explorer is just being used for browsing the web,etc, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal...
By the way, this joke was a bit of a stretch for me as I don't really like Star Trek.
Never thought of science!?!?!

Origami and Math
·
· Score: 2, Funny
When i think of Origami, I think of paper cuts, flapping swans, and science.
I usally end up making complex Origami abstract scupltures, which is just another way of saying that I suck at it.
Will the organizor features compete with the Palm? Will MP3 player features compete with the iPod? Will the gaming features compete with the GB SP?
If not, we are going to have another device that does three or four thing, but does them really poorly.
I'm dreaming of a smallish device (flip style, deck of cards) that will be a great cell phone, a great PDA, and a great mp3 player, and maybe play games... But i still think we are about two years off from that.
I'm interested in the next Handsprings, but they still seem so plasticky and the bezels add some much to the size...
While not distributed by the school, each Mac has a firewire cable coming out the back that ends attached to the front of the machine. This way students can use their iPods (or other firewire drives) to move large video or graphic files from machine to machine. I wouldn't reccomend actually working off of the iPod for reasons of heat, and simply the fact that they aren't really made for that kind of abuse. However, for moving large files, they are great.
Oh, yeah, and they hold about 10,000 songs too. That's pretty cool.
Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy
But what can a poor boy do
'cept to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighter man
No!
Hey! Think the time is right for a palace revolution
But where I live the game to play is compromise solution
Well, what can a poor boy do
'cept to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighter man
No!
No!
No!
Hey! Said my name is called disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants
Well, what can a poor boy do

How appropriate that Jobs played "Changes" by Bowie. This is a great day for music lovers, and more importantly, for the musicans themselves. Finally a system that with fairly lax restrictions, and they signed agreements with ALL FIVE of the biggest record compants.
My only concern is that Apple come up with a system by which smaller labels (which comprise 90% of my music) can participate, labels like Saddle Creek, Arena Rock, Vagrant, Kill Rock Stars, Tooth and Nail, etc....
Overall, I am thrilled, Apple may be a corporatation, but I do believe they are the least evil of the big ones.
Mario Bros. - The Movie- Sucked Street Fighter The Movie - Sucked Pokemon Movies- Mostly suck, but one of the movies is a Monoke rip-off, which makes it cool...
I will say that The Wizard was cool, but it was not so much a movie based on a video game as it was a movie about kids growing up in an age when video games were starting to be taken seriosly as an entertainment medium. I'd like to see more movies about gamer culture and less bad Van Dam as Guile pieces of crap...
This isssue has be politicized to the point that even with the three or four recent findings that seem to support the case that our quickness to attribute shifts in climate to the actions of man may be completely off base, the side screaming bloody murder for the last 10 years will never admit that they may have been wrong.
Having said that, I am sympathetic to the evironmental movement, there's just nothing I hate more than bad science that persists due to politics.
Only on Slashdot could a blurry picture of what appears to be a few thousand computer users called surreal. Not only that, but one of the other webcams is pointing at a guys power supply. Breathtaking.

Anyone else more excited about FF Tactics being released for the GBA?
Top Gear II for SNES and Adventure Beetle Racing for N64. Both of which are still enjoyable even today...
Ralph: That's the thing, we don't really HAVE a business plan, I was just going to wing it...
Cliff: Ok, well we need SOMETHING to sell them on.
Ralph: Dude, I am so ahead of the game, check this out: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing.
Cliff: Now that's good, worth at least 50Mill! How did you think of it?
Ralph: I just scrambled the letters of the ingredients from a Taco Bell hot sauce packet.
Cliff: Niiiiiiiiiiice....
its' a short book....

How easy is it to set-up and how easy is it to spoof?
I could look it up on the web, but I find short, to the point blasts of information from fellow geeks to be infinetly more useful.
Only on Slashdot could a blurry picture of what appears to be a few thousand computer users called surreal. Not only that, but one of the other webcams is pointing at a guys power supply. Breathtaking.
Kids could be reading this books. If you want your smut, get it somewhere else, that's what I say.
