You are correct. In fact those model/skins were added to quake3 in a patch so you can use them already. In my opinion they look a lot better then these. There is a carmack model too.
Before steed was fired he was working on a tutorial on www.loonygames.com to do exactly this. Howto Create the model in 3dsmax and all.
It is too bad that he will not be able to finish it.
I find it interesting that so many people enjoy slamming daikatana for being such a bad game. A common theme seems to be like the one mentioned by the poster "Ion Storm's cash cow to be never will be."
Here is something to look at: http://208.232.126.139/npd_trsts/lookuptrsts.asp ?id=15&date=5/21/00
See thanks to all your guys free publicity in wanting to slam this horrible game, it has sparked an interest that has driven the game's sales rank to 5th!
Now all those people who bought this game because they wanted to see just how bad it was could have spent this money on say, something made by Looking Glass.
Face it. What draws people to computers these days are games with flashy graphics. So teach the kid openGL. in school i learned calculus and trig way before i needed to because i started out with graphics programming. It is the perfect way of having a kid think of an idea, and actually be able to see it in action. and it is a lot cheaper then lego mindstorm sets.
Ok, what about an outdated premise? The idea that humans solve problems not technology, seems outdated to me. Are we not developing technology which will possess the ability to solve problems without the aid of humans? Hello the very topic of this post is AI in society.
It pains me to see a topic posted the way it was. I constantly see people posting about not wanting the word geek be some all encompassing thing that results in the stereo-typing of/. readers. Us geeks come from all walks of life - from bio-chem geeks to anime otaku. So why must all the topics that are deemed "relavent" be limited strictly to what tech geeks and those who think linux is the answer to all of life's mystries (the real answer is 42)?
I am not saying that i hate linux (i use it). What i am saying is that the editors should give more thought into what the readers are interested and not just what linux-geeks are interested. I am afraid to think of what has Not made it to slashdot because of the discriminatory attitude such editors as cmdrtaco seem to display as evidant in his posting.
The stock market in all its forms should be relavent. It forms the very basis of the economy and therefore are lives. Tech stocks or not!

I was recently reading an opinion journal (forget the name) when I came accross a letter proclaiming that everyone should boy-cott this movie due to it being made by "the church." It went on to discuss many of the unethical prominent members that reside within the church. Anyway when i got to the end I was surprised to find out that the author of the piece was none other then Michael Crichton himself. Conflict of interest perhaps?
Just wondering what everyone thought as the "geekiest" anime. What I mean is what anime do you think most applies to computer geeks more then it would apply to anyone else? My opinion is Lain. When i viewed it is was with some friends who were not as technically inclined and they didn't enjoy it as much. But my fellow geeks loved it. Any other suggestions? Mecha anime or DBZ for example?

Whats to sort? it appears that all these girls (well most of them) are from the same school. I see this page as a creative attempt by some geeks (dorks) to pick up on some fine honeys.
One of my goals in life when i have more money then i know what to do with, is to set aside a room in my mansion and fill it with monkeys and typewritters. Of course guests will always want a tour of the mansion so when I get to said room i can open it and say "So this is my room filled with monkeys banging away at typewritters."
They compare o/c celerys to Non-o/c p3s because when it comes to o/cing the issue is price. What gives you the most bang for the buck? If price wasn't an issue the p3 is almost always the obvious choice (except for 366 and 300a).
Nope, what you say isn't exactly correct. The benchmarks were limited to the graphics card capabilities.
"Mr. CPU, I'd like you to meet Mr. Video Card. He'll be cramping your style today."
In this case the video card is the bottle neck. In cases where it isn't so much a factor (low res) the celery did better then when it was a factor (high res).
I agree with previous post on a whole, but i would like to add something.
I support mp3 trading. I have spent more money on cds since i started trading then ever before. With that said i think that we should expect more from "artists." The way i see it true musicians shouldn't be doing it for the money. Just like linux hackers don't don't expect "monetary rewards" for their deeds. I expect a true artist to want his music to be heard as much possible and not want to limit the means in which it can be heard. If mp3s offer a means of broadening the artist's audience then they should be for it.
So you are probably thinking "well full time artists need to eat!." fine they can make their money from performances, that is where the real money comes from anyways. "well they don't have someting that can be performed," fine then release a cd. If you are good, you will be supported by your fans.
I have more to say, but it isn't like anyone will get to read this as moderators never touch my posts.
For some reason this post brings up an interesting question. suppose within two years i create a sufficiently(sp?) capable ai, that then goes on to create a proof for GC.
I can just see some old grandma coming out of the wood work announcing that she has a proof. she then goes on to show it using lemon drops and apple pie, therebye stunning the mathematics community.
This is just my little rant to release some aggression that those pictures that can be found on the linked site imposed.
First of all i was REALLY looking forward to this. I loved everyone of the books in the series, and unlike a lot of people i enjoyed the movie, dispite it's short commmings.
So when i heard that Sci-fi was making a mini series and actually going to the desert to make this thing i got very excited.
Now when you think of DUNE you probably think of dark skined fremen in stilsuits with BLUE IN BLUE eyes carrying knives made from sandworm teeth. instead those pictures show a bunch of geh looking white boys running around with their chests showing and people out in the desert without any stilsuits!
At least Kyle Maclaughlin (sp?) reminded me of Paul. The guy they are using looks completly out of place in this part.
I for one will not waste my time by trying to watch this anymore. At least now the movie will not be regarded as the worst portrayal of the dune series, because this will certainly take its place.
forgive any spelling errors. its late and i am angry.
This reminds me of when i used to play Street Fighter 2 for the SNES. Me and friends used to be up all night playing that game. Of course you would have to take a week of between bouts because huge caluses(sp?) would form from performing "hadokens" and helecopter kicks all night long. But the sick thing is, I would continue playing even after it start turning red and swollen.
Then of course their was D00M. Remember how these games where played with just a keyboard? and no mouse? well my wrists and hands would get so sore that they would tighten up into a ball, and i would be sore for days afterwards. BUT WE STILL PLAYED!
I know what you said was ment to be a joke, but just to elaborate on it...
The movie is being aimed at americans and being made in america. I heard James Wood is signed on to lend his voice talents.
I am very excited about this. I think the next time i am in hawaii (i live there when not at school) i am going to try and stop in to see this movie being made.
Can you distinctly remember one internet ad that really stuck in your mind like a tv ad sometimes can do? Such as the bud commericals. I really can't. Is this because of the lack of quality of the ads? or the medium? somthing to think about.
This leads me to believe that the post is right and wrong. I can attest to your situation. Still the article from what I have read claims increased brain activity. Couldn't this attribute halucination? It doesn't neccisarily mean that you will be able to perform everyday tasks as well without sleep. I don't know very much about the brain but wouldn't increased brain use sort of be like overloading a computer? does it perform better overloaded? I don't think so. That is why we sleep; to release some of the load on our brains.
Who is to say just because all these people have computers that they will then be able to make "New kinds of programmers and computer users [that] would surge online, perhaps bringing new ideas and approaches to programming, software and the nature of the Net and Web."
Now think about this for second. I don't have actual facts but just how big a portion of Ford are made up of actual engineers? or people with college degrees for that matter? Most likely a large portion of Ford's work force consists of people suited for just what they are doing... mechanical production.
If anything I see this as a way for Ford to gain relativly *cheap* publicity. Can these computers really be "high-speed?" i think at most they will probably be striped down celeron systems. Add to that Ford can now demand a higher level of increased productivity without having to pay a large force of tech guys to oversee these computers.
But most important of all Ford now has the right to look into the lives of its employees like they have never been able to do before as evident in the recent airlines incident.
I just think that if the majority of people in this technological gap that you describe, don't have computers because they do not see an immidiate need for them. Their lives are no worse without them. If they had a need they would have purchased a computer long time ago. This isn't 1996 anymore Katz.
Interesting school. Yeah back in school i definatly saw a correlation between drug use and intelligence but not in the manner that you showed. Typically the popular and "promising" students ended up becoming pot heads.
I have one friend who is a genius at all things math. He claims that he gets his abilities from trying any type of hallucinagine(sp?) that he can find.
whatever helps you i guess. Myself? I am too scared of just how wild and freaky i would be. people already ask me if i am on drugs all the time. I just say that "i have a chemical imbalance induced from lack of sleep."
