Build/Doom engines are raycasters. That's why when you looked up or down (or 3rd-person mode) in the Build/Doom engines walls looked skewed.
Wow, even in this day and age, even after the source was released, slashdotters still sprout this old axim. I can't speak for the build engine, but doom was not a raycaster (wolf was), it was a polygon renderer, with bsp-based culling and sorting. The reason the look up-look down was skewed is because the polygons were never meant to be rotated on the x/z axes, and so they were just skewed.
And yes I know you couldn't look up in doom, but you could in a few doom-based games (hexen?)
Levers are good for making something stop and go (or controlling speed). While they can make trains stop / go, machines stop / go, they're just doing the same hting only to a different device.
Bestest. Misinterpretation. Evar.
I don't think he means a lever as in "push the lever and the train stops". He means lever as in "push down on the end away from the fulcrum, and the rock you can't lift at the other end moves". If you include block and tackle (same sort of thing), I'd put the lever as just as important if not moreso, than the wheel.
What I meant was basically every few years, we sign a treaty to promise to bend over our citizens to US terror/copyright/anti-drug/whatever laws in return for a slight increase in our import quota in the US for various Australian exports, such as beef (hooray no VSE) and wheat.
There can be no voter backlash, simply because the **AA will buy the new politicians. I honestly believe the only things that could change this trend are revolution (not liklely), a total overhaul of the representative system in the us (slightly more likely) or the eventual slow painful soviet-style collapse of the corporate-controlled western capitalist democratic way of life (just about inevitable in my view).
Of course FTL travel, or spock turning up next weekend or a small nuclear war(oxymoron?) or sizeable natural disaster could change everything for better or worse quite quickly./cynical old prick
Call my a cynical old prick (well don't bother, I know already), but I say it's inevitable that in 10 years you won't be able to legally run any p2p in the US or its "do as we say or we bankrupt your farmers" states such as Australia. So instead of jumping up and down and pretending two hundred thousand nerds can change shit, we need to start focusing on what we'll do to get around it.
If it requires a user to run an executable they get in their email, then it's not a microsoft exploit. It's a dumb user exploit. Just because said dumb user is running microsoft software, doesn't make it their fault.
I'd say the watermarking would be a lot more subtle than "screener #2232" but I imagine it would have that too, so people cut it out and think "hey, I beat the watermark"
Say you've got 16 scenes that aren't critcally timed. You delay the cut on some of them by 10 frames, not on others. That's a simple way to encode 16 bits of information into the film, and without multiple copies and a fair bit of time you'd never notice it. Encode the same 16 bits 4 times on 64 scene changes, and you've got redundancy. Or go even further and CG out various barely noticeable background objects in fast moving scenes... The sign outside the car dealership they speed past in the chase says "Eddie's"? Then we know it's copy #9938.
Oh yeah MPAA - if you haven't thought of this, and they go and do it... You guys owe me evil dead 4.
Lousy control nuts, anti gun nuts. Don't complain tho dude, here in.au I can't own anything resembling a machine gun, and if I tried, it'd be mucho jail time for me. Unless of course I were an aborigine.
Sure, you should be uncomfortable about letting your campus put yet another back door onto your machine, but Windows is crawling with them to begin with. If you are running Windoze, you are already letting Bill Gates mess with it. It's already compiling lists of all the music and movies you play and it sends all sorts of information back home.
Careful, I think there's some wear showing in your tin-foil hat. It's not hard to untick the "compile lists" button in windows media, and who here would use windows media anyway? All nerds and not so nerds I know use winamp or something similar.
King oath, who hasn't always wanted a babelfish?...
And somewhat in the spirit of the guide, dozens of slashdotters actually cried "I _AM_ an American you insensitive clod!", and yea they were on topic, and the universe did collapse unto itself.

Where's Charlton Heston when you need him?
Hanging out on fark?

The lawyers after a judge told intel they can't copyright a number.
It turns out "we're thinking it over" translates roughly to "you have no chance to survive make your time"

Nothing says "there's a reason this footage was cut out" like the extended version of the exorcist tho. Now that was boring as bat-shit.
First of all, he's not a genius - he's an actor. And second, he's not much of an actor.
Erm, I believe it is the licensees of the frequency that are jamming the keyless entry.
Mmmmm, Elle McPherson and Kate Fischer... *drool*

I know somebody who'd appreciate them ;-)

Since this was on last night, here of course is the song!
... What'd I say?
Lyle Lanley: Well, sir, there's nothing on earth Like a genuine, Bona fide, Electrified, Six-car Monorail!
Ned Flanders: Monorail!
Lyle Lanley: What's it called?
Patty+Selma: Monorail!
Lyle Lanley: That's right! Monorail!
[crowd chants `Monorail' softly and rhythmically]
Miss Hoover: I hear those things are awfully loud...
Lyle Lanley: It glides as softly as a cloud.
Apu: Is there a chance the track could bend?
Lyle Lanley: Not on your life, my Hindu friend.
Barney: What about us brain-dead slobs?
Lyle Lanley: You'll all be given cushy jobs.
Abe: Were you sent here by the devil?
Lyle Lanley: No, good sir, I'm on the level.
Wiggum: The ring came off my pudding can.
Lyle Lanley: Take my pen knife, my good man.
I swear it's Springfield's only choice...
Throw up your hands and raise your voice!
All: [singing] Monorail!
Lyle Lanley: What's it called?
All: Monorail!
Lyle Lanley: Once again...
All: Monorail!
Marge: But Main Street's still all cracked and broken...
Bart: Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken!
All: [singing] Monorail! Monorail! Monorail! [big finish] Monorail!
Homer: Mono... D'oh!
That's it! That's the answer! Everybody buy one thing from a spammer, then charge-back it.
Some things require reboots (Like Direct X), but that's because they modify files currently in use.
No, they do that because microsoft want you to. There's a "corporate" directx install (which costs money of course) that doesn't require a reboot.
Me without mod points.
.au I can't own anything resembling a machine gun, and if I tried, it'd be mucho jail time for me. Unless of course I were an aborigine.

Wings of Honneamise is _awesome_ I love that flick.
:)
Akira is damned good. Get the second release, the voices aren't as cool (in a stupid way), but the dialog is much better and makes a tad more sense.
Also, I recommend ninja scroll, not because it's deep and inspires you to ponder the world around you, just coz it's so cool
Best. One liner. Evar.

Doesn't grow as fast tho.
