    If irrationality is your basis, than why do you even bother providing your pseudo logically derived deductions. You admittely point out the fact that your very statements are wrong. I see no further reason to continue speaking with you. I don't like to provoke the crazies.

    Christianity does not offer the axiom "You must believe what I believe". It just offers the idea of, "If you don't believe what I believe then you are going to hell." There's quite a bit of difference. In fact, the bible makes a pretty good point about how people have free will. This is its implicit explanation of all opposition to it. Also, offering up the idea that all Christians are evil, is equivalent to me saying that all black people are good at basketball. Not only is it completely subjective (like your Christians are evil statement), it is also a grossly overgeneralized stereotype. This, my friend, is what most people call ignorance or even idiotic. You damage your own reputation with this display of your closed minded viewpoint.

    A Christian's level of intelligence is no different than any other persons. Get off your pedestal. Everbody wants a purpose. Athiests just try to find it by acceptance of their own eventual oblivion. The only thing religious people have is hope for existence beyond this corrupted world. Now if your age is not greater than 15, do not bother replying. I'm not trying to troll. I'm just stating my disdain towards those who are unaccepting of people of different beliefs (note I say people of different beliefs, not beliefs themselves). This is just as disgusting a prejudice as racism or sexism. Do not create stereotypical classifications without getting insight into the target of your momentary observations.

    Bah, just process the RGB channels seperately and recombine. And also write image importers/exporters (or use appropriate codec) to get the images in there. Even a lowly person with a CS degree can do that ;-).

    Because that will get nothing useful accomplished. And who are you talking about when you say we? So you suggest WE provide equally corrupt information? Oh that makes sense. If we all listened to the old adage "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," we would all be blind and toothless.

  11. Re:More than both on Microsoft's Software Philanthropy: The Goodwill Ploy · · Score: 1

    I was referring to organizations for the most part (as they are the target for this article). They are the hardest to convert. A user is nothing. They have no real legacy applications (well besides maybe games and unsupported hardware). Anyways, I was just trying to present a symbolic representation of drug addiction in Microsoft terms. If my statement is the dumbest thing you've ever read on slashdot, then you must not be literate (wow, IBM's text-to-speech works remarkably well).

    Sorry, for some reason I was thinking this thread was on D3. But anyways to defend carmaggedon's namesake. In C2, I remember pushing a boulder down a mountain side to kill an enemy. Now thats interaction baby! And I remember it bouncing down in the valley taking out trees until it didn't have enough momentum to apply sufficient impulse to overcome the tensile strength of the trees. at which point it just pushed it a little and bounced off. It had quite a physics engine, but if what you say is true, then H2 does sound to have the superior physics engine. But then again, Carma 2 did model underwater traversal quite well. Damn, I'm tossed up here.

  16. Re:Sweet Trailer! / Dumb Shooter? on Doom III Trailer Debuts At E3 · · Score: 1

    Well, if I understand the alpha well enough (and I believe I do). There are characters that are programmed to obey the laws of physics, and then there are characters which use precalced reactions. If you have the alpha this is evident in the fact that there is a fatman monster and a fatman ragdoll monster. Whereby the ragdoll monster uses ragdoll physics when falling. It did not seem like there was much evidence of a truly consistent physics model. In fact I believe Carmageddon still might have a better physics model, as it obviously had some idea of tension, etc.

    The Carmageddon series has had an excellent physics model for a long time now.

    Oh give me a break. Dark, dreary, pitch black in places?? Let me translate that for everyone else. It looks like a big gray mush with proper shadows. The characters look like they are straight out of Resident Evil (except without color). The spaces are so confined (outdoor portal anyone??) that they look like every area will be a boring monotonous drudge to get through, and will look highly repetetive. Man, I was hoping they were really going to fine tune the models and stages since the alpha but I guess not. Oh well, gotta get it anyways. It is a new iD game.

    And thats why you don't own a business now isn't it. If you started a business today, and used only Linux for the office, then, unless you're purely retail, your customers will be pissed that they can't send you documents in the newest Word or whatever format, because you have a moral objection to Microsoft. The problem right now isn't as much the capability of the systems, its the interoperability of the systems.
