    even more importantly, "how far can I take it?"

    How about as far as installing a Sun E450 server in your car?

    Also, there is the Java-based Batik toolkit for displaying, manipulating, and transcoding SVG images. It can be used for converting SVG images into jpegs, etc. You might want to give ImageMagick a go; I'm not sure if it supports SVG.

  6. Re:Got it already on Cheap Cell-Phone Detector · · Score: 1

    As someone who goes to said University (Uni of Canterbury) I can say that cellphones are allowed in an exam, but you must turn them off and leave them in your bag at the front of the room. Though that doesn't mean that everyone remembers to do this; the result is some LOUD polyphonic ringtone going off in the middle of the exam.

  7. Re:Greatness! on Mesh Compression for 3D Graphics · · Score: 1

    I think he's saying that UT2k4 takes up a lot of hard disk space for maps, which is a problem for people with limited HDD space. Maybe this mesh compression could allow the maps to take up less space.

    If you want to play an updated Quake 2, try Quake 2 Evolved. I haven't tried it myself (no OSX version yet), but the screenshots and video look sweet.

    Fair use of a sheep, hmmm...
    Can I let my friend borrow my sheep? Yes.
    Can I make a copy of my sheep for my friend? Yes, but not legally.

    Reminds me of the joke:
    Aussie: "Do you shear you sheep over in NZ?"
    Kiwi: "No, get your own damn sheep!"

    Disclaimer: Yes, I am a NZer.
