  1. Dueling Machine on Indie Game Jam Results Posted · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From the site:

    You are in a city full of thousands of pedestrians, you have exactly one bullet, and you have to find and kill a single unique fugitive.

    This game was byfar the most enjoyable out of the bunch.

    The use of sonar to find your enemy is brilliant! I tell you: Polish this baby up and you've got gold! (This is not a guarantee.)

    Actually, I believe John Cleese is (and was) fluent in German...

  5. Ad campaign on Weta Digital's Render Farm Upgrade · · Score: 1

    They should use that in the FotR ad campaign... 'Rendered using the most powerful processing site in the southern hemisphere'

    Pshaw! That'll only appeal to geeks! Oh, wait a minute...

    Please don't tell my girlfriend!

  7. Darn... on Carp-Free Independent Music Labels · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I got my hopes up! I thought the article was titled "Crap-Free Independent Music Labels. =)

  8. Re:Incredible Insight! on A Lawyer's View on the OpenGL Patent Mess · · Score: 1

    I really dont understand why the parent was modded as funny. It is a serious point.

    Because it's funny that the parent was moderated as funny, just as it's even more funny that your response to the funny moderation was in turn moderated as funny, and that's pretty funny!

    Funny you should mention that...

  9. Michael Keaton on Warner Bros. plans 'Superman vs. Batman' Movie · · Score: 1

    ...somebody check Michael Keaton's schedule...

    Don't tell the Army!

    Students: When do we have to hand in our project?

    Romero: When it's done.

  12. Re:Actually, we should at least standardize... on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 1
    Just to be sure, I've actually started spelling out the month like this: 4 JUL 2002. That way, there's no doubt.

    Sure, it's not April JULth, 2002 today, but who knows what tomorrow may bring? ;)

  13. Re:That's great, but... on A Terabyte of Data on a Laptop Hard Drive · · Score: 1
    ...how many Libraries of Congress is it?

    I'd say about one Texas worth.

  14. Re:Thanks for the recommendations - NOT on Fair Use Computer Game · · Score: 1

    Although Multiproxy does have a program available for download, they also have a fairly extensive list of public HTTP proxies.

    While I haven't tried the vast majority of them, some at least, DO work at masking the user's true IP address.

    You can change your browser's proxies very simply:

    With Mozilla/Navigator - Edit > Preferences > Adnvacned > Proxies

    With IE - Tool > Internet Options... > Connections > LAN Settings... And specify a proxy.

    That's all there is to it!

  15. Nice! on Haptic Battle Pong... Future of Game Interface? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We've slashdotted Brown!

  16. "Paper" plane? on Laser Powered Paper Plane Takes Flight · · Score: 1

    Can you really call it a "paper" plane if it's made out of aluminium foil?

  17. Re:What a sad state of affairs... on Space Exploration Act of 2002 · · Score: 1

    From the previous link:

    ...the astronauts' main concerns are video quality and ease of operation...

    If astronauts can't figure out how to use a DVD player, the space program is in deep trouble. ;)

  18. Vector Steganography & Flash? on Vector Steganography · · Score: 1

    Perhaps this will lead to some kind of steg utility for Flash.

    Could be interesting to embed a different image for every frame of the animation!

    Just a thought...

  19. Re:What about the culture of MP3 Ripping? on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 2, Funny
    ...a friend came over and asked if I could copy CD xyz for them.

    You bastard! I hope XYZ doesn't find out! They could really use the money! ;)

  20. How, exactly, would this work? on Holographic Television and Optical Transistors · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This will probably be modded down quite a bit, but I've always been somewhat perplexed by the concept of holographic projection.

    My question is this: On to what would the image be projected? Would there not have to be some kind of screen or bubble on which the image resides?

    Is it possible just to have an image floating in mid air?

    Hope this isn't a waste of bandwidth! ;)

    Cheers,
    B.

    The original book even outlasted the online version! ;)

  25. Re:Wasn't Kevin Webb... on iWarez · · Score: 1

    Isn't that wonderful though? Can afford a $399 iPod but can't afford Office vX?

    Of course he couldn't afford Office vX: He spent all his money on the iPod! ;)
