  1. Re:You might want to check out Blender and it's RT on The Best of Macworld SF 2006 · · Score: 1

    Well except that Unity can be used to develop actual games. I don't know about Blender RT, but I haven't seen any finished games done using it.

    Btw Blender is mainly a 3D modeller, Unity is a 3D game development environment... you can use blender to create the 3D assets and import them into Unity. There is a tiny overlap between the two but the main focus of each product is vastly different.

    /sure, 99% is just idiotic menubuttons and stuff, but hey, 99% of net is just pr0n anyways/ ... leaving 0.01% of actual content :P

    99% of which is either misinformation by creationists or big oil company lobbyists, old news or just plain wrong.

    Boy, I love the Internet.

    calling a game with low-spec graphics, rubbish, is like saying Impressionists couldn't paint.
    ... not they just gave people the impression that they couldn't paint. :P

  4. Re:Giant Keyboard on Cell Phone with Built-in Projector · · Score: 1

    Do we really need a cellphone version of DDR?

    Uhh... A communist cellphone with a wall around it? No probably not. :-P

  5. Re:That's not a projector. on Cell Phone with Built-in Projector · · Score: 1

    The letters are exactly where they should be... for a German telephone. (For some reason German keyboards swap the Y and Z keys...)

    Actually a projected keyboard would be great in that sense, that the projected "keycaps" always can match the current keyboard layout... Oh have I longed for a keyboard with some electronic ink on top of the key caps so it could change according to the layout. :-P

    Velcro condoms?!!! Ouch!

  7. Re:Hey, is there any one going to make me a PERL C on A .Net CPU · · Score: 1

    Er.... nope....

    It's still the plain Perl 5 written in C. The Active state Perl.Net just allows you to call .Net code from perl. (and maybe possibly to call perl code from .Net)... But the perl code is not being compiled to CLR.

  8. Re:What does 'a life' mean? on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    Some might, yes...

    But mostly "having a life" entails doing something that makes you feel as if you are making a difference. For yourself, your family or even the world at large. To find meaning in your activities. Doing things that give you more than they take away.

    So, "having a life" in my opinion is an attempt to prove life isn't a zero sum game. (And so does "wasting your live"... just the other way around... :P)

  11. A really free version of Liberty BASIC on Just BASIC 1.0 Beta 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Just basic is just a watered down free as in free beer version of a commercal product as far as I can see.

    I found a really free GNU version of Liberty basic through a simple search through google.... just FYI.

    Yes those neighbour-collecting neoconservatives can be a pain in the behind. :-P

  13. Re:Don't buy. Rent. on Which Digital Video Camera for Amateur Video? · · Score: 1

    Oh! almost forgot...

    Get acquainted with the colour correcting tools (FCPs are excellent). They'll do wonders to your film if used correctly. (and you can always undo it if it looks horrible -- bit harder to do if you use the colour processor in the camera.)

    And then some ego-pimping:
    Check out my films made with various DV cameras and edited on FCP on my website.

  14. Don't buy. Rent. on Which Digital Video Camera for Amateur Video? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're not going to use the camera except during shooting. If you consider how many days a year you are going to use a camera and assuming that you are going to want a better one after about two to three years, renting could be a cheaper option.

    Then buy a cheap consumer camera for playing around and practicing.

    But I know... it is more fun own your own equipment, and it's always available. I just bought a Panasonic AG-DVC30E. Cheaper than the DVX100 and has the same signal processors. It does not have real 25p though, but it's okay for my purposes. (Well... overkill, actually.... I should be renting :P)

  15. Xcutsel on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    X actually has different ways to handle cut/copy and paste.

    The method you mentioned is the one most used and supported in almost all X application is called the primary selection. (There is also a secondary selection, but the only application i know that supports it is Nedit)

    X also has a feature called cutbuffers. Which is buffers of text stored in the x server. (Regarding the primary selection, the x server only remembers which window has it... the application running has to respond to events from other applications wishing to read it.)

    For applications that do not support CTRL-C/V, you can run xcutsel. Xcutsel is an ugly X app with three buttons that allows you to copy the contents of the primary selection to cutbuffer 0 and select the contents of cutbuffer 0 for pasting with the middle mouse button.

    And apparently CTRL-C/V is implemented in a whole 3rd way... hmmm... maybe X is sometimes too flexible for its own good

    I use this mostly when running a VNC client on windows on a linux VNC server for copying text back and forth between windows and the X applications, as VNC places what you copy in windows into cutbuffer 0 and not the current selection.

    Hope this helps....

  20. ... or IUMA on MP3.com's Content to Be Destroyed · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Internet Underground Music Archive has a similar concept to mp3.com... and they even predate mp3.com by several years.

    I remember downloading a few .au files from them in early 1995.... on an SGI pizza box... ahhh nostalgia.
