  1. Re:What could be worse... on Building Better Spam · · Score: 1

    "Their secret is the Taguchi Method, which is a technique for designing experiments that converge on an ideal product solution"

    The ideal solution.. an odd idea if ever..
    how many spam messages are the ideal amount,
    we say none, the spamers say one to each mail
    box..

    now it seems there concentrating on the
    responce rate.. which IMHO would be incressed
    a hell of a lot if spamers acctaly botherd
    to
    a) target there ordence..
    b) lowerd the number of spam sent!

    not that i suport spam,
    but i do suport less spam if that is what
    this leads to.

  3. agreed.. on Single-Player Doom 3 Details Discussed · · Score: 1

    Let me remnise about doom..
    and damm it my post didnt go though..

    My first game on doom was with god mode on, i did the first few leves and then whent "wtf, this is no fun"

    I turned god mode off, and started on UltraViolance in act2.. oh yes call me a wimp for not choseing Nightmare, but let me reminde you there would be no nightmare difictuly for quite a while yet..

    Everythign going fine,
    im killing things, im solving problems,
    im geting killed everynow and then it happend..

    I turn a connor,
    im killing things left and right, and i hear it, then i see it!

    oh GOD the noise!!

    It sounds like a tourcherd soul dieing! and the beast that makes it is huge!! allmost twice my size, i unload shotgun blast after blast
    into it....

    NOTHING!!

    Green balls of death are flying, one hits me! Shit, cant let that happen too often.

    Now im runing, im runing and im scared, ammo is dwinderling and im runing out of ideas, its following me!!

    I dodge, i fire, i run, i fire, im out of shotgun blasts, onto the chaingun, damm next to no shots.. oh no.

    then im saved, i empty the last few bullets and i realise i still have rocket shots!
    up untill then id found them overpowerd and more dangrouse to myself.

    I face the beast, I aim and then .. ..

    *TAPTAPTAP* on my shoulder,

    I tell you that is the closest ive ever been to shiting my pants.

    In game i turned, and turned and turned! tryign to find out wtf was behind me..

    Doom to me was a total emersment in the game its self, i found my self doing stupid things like trying to peer over ledges by edging my view colser to the screen, or trying to turn my chr to look behind my self IRL.

    If doom3 captures this sort of emersment, then id be more then willing to forkout $200(funny aussie money that is) for it.

    and well if it dosent, id still buy it, but probly not for the close to $100 its probly going to be relesed at.

    something like this applyed on a
    world wide base.

    mind you not knowing how it works
    it may require ppl to put decent

  9. Id like to see some proff of these cells. on Solar Window Panes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If they have the technogy for these suposed
    "Dyson is confident her team's solar cells can reach nearly 100 percent efficiency"
    why are they limiting it to some silly
    window apllication, the cells on there
    ones are worth a fortune even at
    "more than 50 percent"

    I meen we are talking massive incress
    from the current "super high levels"
    of around 3x%..
    http://www.you.com.au/news/1958.htm

    Perhaps they are misinterpting the
    results becasue of the " focusing them into the small silicon squares, also called solar chips"

    maybe the failed to take into account
    that if you focuse light onto a cell,
    it dosent have a higher output because
    its more efficnt, but rather becuase it
    has more sunlight on it.
