    What I like the most about digipen is that you only take courses directly related to video game programming (or computer graphics design). None of this European History nonsense that I'm 99% sure I'm never going to use again.

    Vorbis does *not* compare to mp3 above 128kbps. If anything they sound almost identical. If you can nitpick the differences between ogg and mp3 above 128kbps, I suggest you stop using lossy codecs altogether.

    i have two wireless receivers and one wireless keyboard. i had one computer downstairs to play gta3 and such on the big screen tv. after i was finished playing i would shut down the computer with the keyboard (windows key, up, enter, enter). i walk upstairs with my wireless keyboard and my computer upstairs was shutdown. the first time it baffled me. the second time i walked up in time to see the windows shutting down screen and realized my keyboard was working from quite a distance and through a few walls

  16. Re:Can someone explain on Cellphones On Airplanes · · Score: 1

    with sprint you can disable analog roaming and the phone just works extra hard trying to find a digital signal. an interesting story to go along with this: whenever i cross the chesapeake bay bridge-tunnel, my phone gets NO service at all. well the last time i crossed the bridge, i had my cell phone sitting on my dashboard (don't ask) and my radar detector was constantly saying X band.. couldn't figure out why. then I picked up my cell phone and the radar detector went almost to full alert and then went off (as i moved the phone away from the dash). so i moved the phone right next to the radar detector and it went to full alert. At the time, my phone was searching for sprint's signal (not analog). later I tried doing the same thing when I had a strong lock with sprint and the radar detector didn't go off at all.

    so this brings me to ask 2 questions

    1) why did my radar detector say X band when my cell phone was near it? (it also messed with the local wendy's radio system..)

    2) for the people who disable roaming with sprint, how will this help? (maybe sprint won't be supported?)

  18. My $0.02 on Extending and Embedding Perl · · Score: 4, Informative

    This book explains how to expand the functionality and usefulness of the Perl programming language. This guide delves into the complex issues of using real code examples from the Perl source. Detailed is how to use Perl from C programs, such as writing interfaces to C libraries, implementing Perl callbacks for C libraries, and passing Perl hashes and arrays between Perl and C. Additionally, developers are provided with an API reference for the internal C interface to Perl and a reference on the typemap system.

    It's amazing how much this book covers: Not only does Sam Tregar show how object-oriented Perl modules are architected, how to write regression test suites, how to extend Perl modules with C code, but he gets also the community aspects right -- how does your module get really popular? You can tell that Sam is a successful Perl module author himself.
