This seems to have something to do with whether the application is the current Active application.
Yeah, hey guys, it seems to have something to do with something! Let's code with it! For fuck's sakes.
Show me a 3D engine with reasonably documented code and I'll jump at it. Until then, you may have all the features in the world Mr. Engine Programmer, but if I can't pick it up and start doing something meaningful within an hour, you've failed miserably at your primary task: making sure the engine is actually usable.
The fact that Bush will likely win this election is more a failure of the Democratic party to be anything but "not-Bush", while still being as corrupt and crooked as the republicans.
The wise choice this election would in fact be to vote for a third party candidate, but nobody can seem to motivate themselves to do that.
On Canadian satellite, we get all the local channels from across the country. Makes time-shifting easy.
Maybe your regulatory body sucks ass down there, and won't let them do this?

One bill per 290 people isn't rare. It's commonplace. Every store here has a UV currency checker. McDonalds employees are getting a crash course in currency examination. At one store where they'd gotten two counterfeit 50s in a single day, they not only stopped taking 100s and 50s, they refused to take the "old" 5s 10s and 20s, and even held the new ones up to the light. We had to wait in line while they did this for every single customer.
Please tell me it's like this in the states, and tell me again how 1 in 290 is rare.
You guys realize there's no license verification in 2k server, right? You can open up licensing and increase that number of licenses to your heart's content -- hell 100,000 if you want -- and there's no actual "checking" to see if you have them, just a checkbox and some legalese saying "if you don't have these licenses, you're in trouble if we audit you".
Not sure about this Internet thing, but I heard about the IntarWeb from a friend and gave it a shot. It's great! There's free Britney pics, lots of this "pr0n" stuff at various sites starting with the word goat, and forums full of all kinds of wonderful religious fanatics, ready to convert me to their cult. I love it!
Wow. I guess all the unlaid virgins on slashdot aren't hetero either, by that definition. If you haven't fucked a chick, you're not straight. Being straight is something you do, after all.
I have a feeling people in the '50s were pretty pissed off about those "activist" judges catering to the black "lobby", too.
If you're implying that the intolerance of discrimination by the judiciary is a bad thing in regards to homosexual marriage, you'd better be prepared to take that recursively all the way back to the civil rights movement, and nullify that too. They are one and the same. Same shit, different pile.
I'm glad I live in Canada then, where we aren't so deathly afraid of one hole in the body over the other that we'd change our country's founding document to try to keep the "bad scary people" away.
Many gays do in fact have kids. The bodily functions are all there and correct, and many don't discover that they're gay until adulthood when they're married. They often say they felt "different" for their entire lives, and didn't know why.
A friend of mine didn't realize he was gay until he'd already slept with several men, and he lost his virginity originally to a girl.
This isn't as straightforward as you might want to believe.
Genetics can nudge us towards things like alcoholism, but having an arm isn't a choice, it's predetermined.
The brain is also developed genetically, from information contained in your DNA. Does it not follow then that certain structures (an amygadala for instance), or even the entire brain itself, could perform differently given specific genetic mutations?
I should remind you that it's also not a choice to breathe, but it is all in our heads. The line between "disease" and "choice" wasn't any more clear than it is now. We just realize now that the line is in fact blurred to some extent.
There's a free trial if you want to try it (www.istaria.com), but Horizons has a... colorful history.
Since a corporate takeover from the inside by David Bowman (of Asheron's Call fame, who was fired for "agressive ladder-climbing"), the game underwent an extreme redesign, and hasn't been the same since.
It made its retail debut around December of this year, still very much in beta, for which it received sound derision. The bugs were incredible. The game was a flop
Artifact Entertainment filed for bankruptcy a few months ago, and last month handed pink slips to half its developer staff. This seemed aimed at making the game a viable target for a buyout, but nothing has happened as yet.
David Bowman ran AE and Horizons into the ground. All in all, I wouldn't play an online game with no future. Subscription numbers are dropping steadily every month. Horizons is on its deathbed, waiting to die.
Don't you find it the *least* bit troubling that, in these projects, little to no consideration is given to the safety of the passenger?
The grandparent isn't saying human life is more important than anything else, he's asking whether that 21-year old's life was worth competing in this silly "race".
You can demonstrate technology without putting 20kg fiberglass cars (which might as well be made of balsa wood and paperclips, for safety purposes) on the road with minivans.
"tenure" - Yes, it's so motivational to be walking on eggshells, waiting to be fired. I don't know how the hell you plan to pay your mortgage, but my plans don't involve living in fear of missing the next payment because my boss is having a bad day.
"gotta spend my budget" - As opposed to not spending it? If you underspend and underperform on your contract, guess what? You're gone. I'd rather spend my budget to be extra sure things get done, and keep my job, than try to save money nobody is going to miss anyway to satisfy some quaint philosophy.
"follow procedure" - Yes, let's let everyone break the rules, do things how they like, and watch the chaos that ensues. Can you imagine the bloody carnage a lack of procedures would cause in a government department? We need them. They keep everyone coordinated.
"workplace as a supply depot for employees" - This one I will agree with, because I hate employee theft. But short of strip-searching everyone on their way out of the building, I don't see how you could stop this entirely.
"croneyism and nepotism" - This is the fault of the people, not the system.
Why should your descendants be rewarded for making zero contributions to society? That's why. Each man should have to work for what he owns, not get it handed to him on a silver platter upon birth.

I don't know why you guys think Poutine is local to Quebec. I've seen it on restaurant menus in Alberta. It's a nice, fatty food. (Good for a treat)

Ever tried coding with Genesis 3D? The documentation is shit. Take for example the explanation for the "GoEngine" function:

Yeah, let's let them get away with plagiarizing other people's work. Nobody is getting hurt, after all.

Homosexuality is genetic.
It doesn't just have a lack of "d00ds", it has a lack of everything. The game is a wasteland.

Jesus that's insane. I live in Canada and I'm sweating my ass off at 75F. 65F is comfortable.
Sony makes a profit on the PS2 hardware. Not sure about the XBox.
My pleasure, the two-party system has the USA by the balls anyway.
