  1. Blog is journalism? Photos != Screenshots? on Screenshot Accounts 'Delisted' on Flickr · · Score: 1

    I am enginecoder. This mean I am god of a tiny universe where I create the Light, the Shadows, the Fire and Water. How It looks, How It Feels. And after creating that, you make screenshots. But making screenshots on this virtual univers is exactly the problem you have making photos on a real shot. Where put camera?, What angle? What details in/out?. So yes, SL screenshots are photos. Imho.

  5. Interactive Theatral Computer Powered Gameplays on The Epic Ebert Videogame Debate · · Score: 1

    Videogames are art, the full name is Interactive Theatral Computer Powered Gameplays, is is theatral, but like some theatral perfomances, are spectator interactive.

  6. Making game engines feels like art-making. on The Epic Ebert Videogame Debate · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am 3d engine coder (http://telejano.berlios.de./ And making a 3d engine feels almost like painting (I also paint) and doing photography. This mean 3denginemaking =~ painting + photograpy + maths, so... 66.66% pure acepted art.

    More on that... I use my 3d engine to explore artisting ideas. How to make snow that feel snow?,.. What look to get that feel?, and others.

    As I work on other business, and my mind is free, I let my sould explore the in and outs of some 3d engine design ideas. And this feel exactly like pre-viewing on your brain something you can hand draw.

    Some 3D engines even use the painter algorithm ;D

  7. Lame and Sad. on Tech Firms, Don't Fence Us In · · Score: 1

    Creating a new media format is like, well... like creating a new way to order your shoes. Having a law AGAINST, or even RELATED with it is "Law Fiction", or more accurate "Law Comedy".

    I for one wellcome our European Union Law's Comedians!.

    This is mad. Ubuntu is a desktop, a fine one. And Oracle is system software. If Oracle get Ubuntu, will fuck it ~~~111111

  9. The GPL is a distribute license,not a EULA license on Should Linux Use Proprietary Drivers? · · Score: 1

    You can *use* the Nvidia driver with the kernel. Because the GPL is about *distribution*, not against *usage*.

    Anyways distributing the Nvidia driver is gray area, because is designed to work with the GPL kernel.

    I suggest to not include the Nvidia drivers on Linux distros(*distributions*). And let users download whatever to *USE*.

  10. For dev's, on windows on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    * cygwin, to compile some *nix goddies on windows, like the mdbtools (so you can extract a access to SQL)
    * Foxit, a light pdf reader
    * wget for windows
    * autorun from sysinternals
    * process explorer from sysinternals
    * everything else that sysinternals provide, like tlist and tkill, to list and kill rogue tasks
    * Activeperl
    * Python
    * SciTE or some windows emacs build
    * Abiword
    * bc a command line calculator (or put /cygwin/root/bin in your path, etc, so you can run the gnu tools from a normal cmd.exe cli)
    * Apache + MySQL + PHP with XMPP or some "triad" alike lamp bundle
    * daemon tools ( something to mount /root/myiso.iso )
    * nc (netcat)
    * firefox (the ULTIMATE hacker tool)

    You will NOT install a firewall or antivirus app, because where low level apps, that create instability and hide malware. If you want to fight malware, analize your dawn memory task list with sysinternals tools!

  11. Don't install that! on Slashdot Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    Even if this software its safe. Having the same extensions is a call for problems, because a tiny hole will exploit the monocultive..

    I suggest most people avoid this extension, and use only if really needed.

    Remenber kids: Javascripts can kill your dog. (and .XPI is XUL+javascript).

  12. parent mod up on Why Windows is Slow · · Score: 1

  13. Re:2 points I would like to make on Why Windows is Slow · · Score: 1

    OS X takes longer to boot on my MacBook Pro than XP does...

    This is mostly bus data and HD limited.

    Quake3 UB runs slower on my MacBook Pro than on my old DELL notebook

    This is GPU limited.

    You ca score a OS by HD speed or GPU speed. And you compare Apples to Lemmons.

  15. Please, rewrite this in english. on Sun Grid DOS'd · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Please somehome with good english rewrite this post.

    Sun, as always, have some very good futuristic ideas. Ideas too good for nowdays, but will work on the future.

    You already know Java, and "The network is the computer", and theres is another The Grid.

    The Grid is another use of the internet, as The Web is the net of web pages, The Grid is the net of network resources shaped in a way that A Single Execution can run on a virtual giganteous virtual computer. Its not magic, only code written to use this level of paralelism will work, and you need to use some "standard" framework, but is still C, (or perl if you want) code. As I write this, theres some guys migrating applications to the Grid framework.

    Actually the need for that giganteouse computational power on a simple C executable is experiemental data generated by particle accelerators like the LHC (aka, from the CERN, the same guys create the World Wide Web). Withouth the Grid you have not enough computational horsepower to analize that much data.

    Sun, and these guys think this interesting use of technology will grown, and soon guys like Liberty, Visa, Bayer, etc.. will use that horsepower to crunch hugue computational problems, problems that huge that actually looks not feasible. And because The Grid use some sort of "p2p" alike technology ... You Can Join The Grid!.. and theres are lots and lots of grid nodes on universitys around the world. So your scientific app is calculated trough 90 nodes, that where 90 computers around the world, but you only execute a single C app (a C batch app).

    With this setup, Its a non-sense that hackers attack sun. WHY?!!!.. The Grid is a idea a true hacker sould LOVE, not hate or attack. Imagine a world where "hackers" attacking the first web server to shutdown the worldwideweb idea. What lameness...

    I am a hacker, and I think these guys hare not more than vandals withouth respect for technology, or withouth pride for scientific effors on IT.

  16. Download IE here. on Internet Explorer Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    Because IE IS BROKEN, the webmaster need to test his design against the IE bugs. So If you are a Linux webmaster, you will need something like ie4linux to use IE5+IE5.5+IE6 under linux.

  17. FPS are GPU dependant. on Intel's Conroe Previewed and Benchmarked · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Often on videogames the limiter is the GPU, not the CPU.
    Changes on CPU affect litte to nothing on FPS.

    But maybe this will change?

    If your game or engine required intense collision calculations, of phisic simulations. And this stuff its mostly poorly code with scripts. Or you need to compress/uncompress on-the-fly textures or sound. You will need that CPU horsepower.

    Its also interesting how different RAM types and quantity of L1 cache affect this beckmarks. I think the information provides its too litte to really know anithing about the combo new games with new hardware.

  18. Telejano 6.0 better than Telejano 7.0 on The Trouble With Software Upgrades · · Score: 1

    I am a game developper. My proyect is Telejano, a Quake engine.

    For some users its better to use old versions because can run smoothly on older software. While some high-end users want the latest build.
    Often I look behind and test these old build and thinkk... "Humm.... I myself like this old version more than the new thing". But after that, I miss some key features.

    So, I ask.. What you want?

    I can enhance Telejano 6.0 forever. Or I can continue the roadmap with Telejano 7.0, ..8.0 etc,, that will need better and better hardware, with more ram, a better 3D card, etc.
    As my computer is somewhat better than these of some users, I greedy choice to continue the roadmap to better and better Telejano engines. But the other option its still open for others engine-developpers... You can code to enhance, but you can code to optimize and bugfix. Because bugfixing and optimizing kill flexibility, is very anti-enhancement. Unenhanced code its often better than optimized code, because its readable, while optimized code its dificult to read. And bugfixes often make code harder to read, too. So its somewhat undesired. Its better to not have bugs, and not optimize code, but write good code and let the compiler do is magic, and the users buy enough horsepower :I

  20. XULRunner future. on XULRunner Developer Preview Release Available · · Score: 4, Informative

    Even if Mozilla evolve to XForms base, will be posible to continue XULRunner as a separate project. So XUL is here to stay.

    XUL is very good RAD tool. Much.. much much better than HTML. Because with HTML you sould care about styles and other miscelanea problemas, and becasue with HTML you badly emulate OS widgets, with XUL you use OS widgets.

    Also good bonuses are easy to code with javascript, and the integration with XML (indeed!).
