While demos from that era looked nice, they had the problem of not having to worry about AI, an interface, asynchronous audio and video...
Granted if these demo sceners were to build a 3d engine it would probably kick id tech and unreal engine's ass.;). Although I would watch a John Carmack demo.
Yeah but searching and indexing that data later can be a problem. As is possible corruption once youre thoroughly lost trying to keep up.
I think that going old school keeps your mind focused on the task at hand. If you need to go that old school though, I suspect that you're likely not that focused on the material to begin with.
That's probably not the problem. If it were, everything under the sun would probably require a driver or some sort, fail to fall back on industry standards like VESA and so forth.
The problem is that getting devices to interface with each other is *generally* hard. Yes, USB/Firewire/etc. devices "just work". But there's no interoperability standard for upper level 3D access in video devices or even getting sound cards to work with out drivers.
It's both a technical and meatspace problem. Building that standard, and convincing everyone it's a good idea.
I'm not hip to them censoring anything, but, malware barfing torrent sites don't particularly raise my eye brow. IFF, of course, they're not blocking other torrent sites.
Serenity cost 40 million to make and raked in 38 million.
Clearly the fans were vocal, but not all there.
At some point, the ROI delta between a show like Firefly and say, American Idol, to choose a random popular Fox show, is just so great that it doesn't become worth producing the show to begin with.
Plus Firefly sucked. Should've not even been green lit. I hope though that the Avengers fares better for ol' Joss than Serenity did.
Hence why I said that TAL's reputation has been tarnished.
Besides, there's more to the story than just the N-Hexane poisoning.
There's also the underage laborers, which Daisey said were everywhere. He didn't even ask their age, and guessed with several of them. There's also the "unions" which Daisey claimed to have dozens of them meet at a Starbuck's.Which given the exchange rate and prices in China would be like the SEIU meeting at the Waldorf Astoria for it's regular shop meetings.
There are so many details that Daisey fabricated for the sake of the stage performance. In the end, Daisey got so much wrong, or dramatized that the whole piece was worthless and should've been scrapped.
Life in a Foxconn factory is bad, but not nearly as bad as Daisey makes it out to be. Which is the real shame here as said over and over in other threads, because this allows Foxconn to sweep things under the rug a bit and try to white wash the problems Foxconn employees face.
And every time you think twitter and blogging and Slashdot have replaced modern journalism, behold the above danger.
This, a thousand times.
Not just this story but it was thanks to real capital J Journalism that we got the facts behind KONY 2012 and Invisible Children. I think that Charlie Brooker's take on it is particularly great.
Actually this was a point by Ira Glass. That in presenting the story as fact, they gave the story the backing of TAL which does very hard work trying to verify the facts in the case.
TAL's reputation is now tarnished, however, not for long I suspect.

So he's anti choice. Like I said. Good to see you confirmed my understanding of him.
He's also anti choice.
I'd rather have legal abortions and illegal pot.
No. We need the fed. We need the FCC. we need the FAA. We need the FDA and FTC.
We need competent people running them.
We don't need smaller government. We need smarter government. Going on a witch hunt because somehow the fed is offensive is the LAST thing we need.

You're more right than you think. Downtown Las Vegas until VERY recently(within the last 5 years or so?) has languished BADLY.
If they built a giant Enterprise, it'd just sit there and become a giant eyesore.
STILL, it would've been cool as fuck the first few trips down.
Enterprise A? Or Enterprise D?
The images from the site aren't showing up. :(
I have a 3GS sitting in a shelf from 2010. Am I eligible for unlocking on this phone?
I'm going to guess no. :(

Yes because the thing you need to know about someone is if they're a homosexual Muslim from Norway to do a job.
Please.

Once APK can stabilize himself I'm pretty sure he'll be a reasonable member of society.
I recommend risperidone.
What bothers me is the idea that the radios aren't dynamic and can't support software frequency changes. Aren't we in the 21st century?
Normally I'd otherwise shit all over symbian, but, why not Symbian? Years on the market, it should've been proven one way or the other by now.
Also, what level of paranoia are we talking? State or industry secrets? Personal paranoia?
Their service, their rules.

Well. Making sure their site doesn't become a mine field of bullshit browser hijacks would be great.
Let's face it people, TPB isn't exactly a shining example of virtue. They do not give a shit who's ads they serve.
DPI probably has something to do with it.
Having arbitrarily high screen resolutions at small to medium(13 to 15 inch) range is a goddamned nightmare on the eyes.
And yes there's probably HDTV to blame too, as HDTV has been a big push behind LCD panel production making 1366x768 screens cheap as hell too.
Hot shot Dev wants to build an open ended space sim?
Is Derek Smart possessing people now?
(I kid I kid, Derek. The Verge's article about you rocked.)
You mean like a tie in film?

Something that steve jobs learned early in his life. you can't march on *anything* in Birkenstocks.

I hope he wins.
I don't personally think there's a giant paranoid conspiracy out to get him but I hope he wins so we can shut up the conspiracy minded.
Plus for the massive disagreement I have with his approach to politics at least he's on the right side of history. Even if he is a scumbag rapist.
