  6. Life EULA on Catching up with Wine · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There is in the life EULA a section about not beeing a prick against your fellow humans. I think working at MS violates it.


    Christ.... It is a sick sick world when you 1. pay many dollars for your software 2. after paying many dollars, not allowed to use it in new innovative ways.

    Does this "Make a 3d engine that will last a long time" have anything to do with the fact that microsoft has announced directx9 to be de defacto standard for gamedevelopment for comput... I mean windows for a long time? I like to think so.

  10. knoppix on Week-Long Free-Software Class for Kids? · · Score: 1

    Why not show them debian on the schools computers. And give away konppix cd's.

    Knoppix is a liveCD that boot and runs without harming/setting free any hard-drive

    It's a nice win-win situation since they can play around as much as they want. And if they break anything. Just reboot and start over.

    And FreeBSD, I think is a nice *BSD start. It has bootable cd's thats downloadable etc. And you can get a GUI fairly easy etc. etc.

    Conclusion:

    School machines debian and freeBSD mixed

    Give them Knoppix cd's and later in the week you can show them dualbooting etc. And for thoose that want, give them debian cd's.

    oh.. I wanna teach there.. instead of this boring university! =)

  12. What you are seeing on Sony Adds New Copyright Method to CDs in 2003 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is the recordcompanies last breath before the whole industry dies. They are scared shitless and they dont know what they are going to do. But I dont feel hurt about it. Since record companies can continue their work. But they have to accept that the golden days are over, where they dictate the prices and have multi-thusand percent profitmargins. Record companies, its time to face the real world. With real competition etc.

    It's time to get the power of the music back to the artists and the listeners, from profitering bastards!

    Revolution!

  13. Re:yea but... on An Informal Study Of K12 Classroom Software Costs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, when there is OSS it is up to you if the company or the individual writer goes belly up. But then you have the code so you have the possibilty to change the code and fix it to suit your needs. If a commercial software vendor goes belly up or just stop supporting the software you have bought. You are stuck with your closed source binary. And you can't do a first thing about it.

    This happend with the video editing tool Edit from discreet. (Just to take one example). They just stopped the development and closed the office. So now alot of people are stuck with edit, the version they have. And they will never release a update that will make it work on Win2k for instance.

    OpenSource and free software is best, you cant make any statements that will make closed source alternetives better. It is not possible. Since you get all thoose benefits with opensource and you get the source to. You get the same and more.

    The gift that keeps on giving, opensource =).

    It pay's money - so there will always be someone applying. - Money make people do stupid things. - As always. Money often win over ideology. - I hope they find some braindead sucker that will do a pisspoor job.

    It's time for the mucichians to wake up and understand they can do their own distribution. - The time for the big record labels are numbered.

  24. Code some plugins and use the functions on Software for the Realtime 3D Modeler? · · Score: 1


    You have some of the possibilites you are
    askin about. In 3dsmax as it is. If you want
    to have the very exakt procedural textures in
    max as you have in your game. - You can always
    code a material plugin for yourself. (the SDK
    is bundled with every copy of max). And you
    can use it in 3dsmax as a material. - Then you
    can render a texture from your material. - To
    get a snapshot (you can render animated
    textures as avi's to) to get an idea how it
    will look. - Of course you will never get the
    EXAKT view you will get from your own 3d
    system. But that would be hard. - Maybe you
    can make a preview plugin or something along
    thoose lines, to use your own real-time
    renderer in max. And if you look att gmax you
    have the core framework of the 3d package and
    can build any plugins you want for it. And you
    can also bundle your plugins and gmax with
    your games for the players to have
    mod-capabilites. And for the omptimize issues
    you are talking about. You can always use the
    optimize modifyer and of course you have to
    think yourself what is going to be visible or
    not. - I think you would get pretty pissed if
    max deleated faces/polygons that was supposed
    to be availible if it tought they wherent?

  25. SupahComputers on Two Directions for the Future of Supercomputing · · Score: 1


    Well, there has always been need for differnt
    supercomputers. There is numbercrunchers,
    vector machines etc. You have to get the
    machine that suites your needs. Thats all.
    Like som machines need HUGE datasets to work
    on but its not a complex calucation eatch
    cycle. But some other are very complex
    calucations on small datasets (where a beowulf
    works wonders). But you cant use a
    linuxkluster THAT efficent if you have to move
    around several hundred gigabyte of data around
    the nodes.

    On a sidenote. Why is "blah blah ny times had
    registration we know it" informative? I say
    offtopic!
