Well, clearly I have no fuckin’ idea about half the English terms.;)) That’s what you get, for learning English via Slashdot and US TV shows. (Seriously!)
Nope. Waterfall is literally impossible on any real game project. They are waayyy too huge.
What you would want, is the spiral model. Not exactly as in the book, but with the basic ideas. At least it does good here. Jesse Schell also recommends it, for obvious reasons. And according to him, it’s what is used for all projects that big, that actually finish.;)
[For fun: Read it, as if Ricky Gervais were saying it.*;]
You know when your boss caught on to a new buzzsomething, storms into your room, and wants to play thought-experiments with him on what to change? Restructure the whole company? Because, oh god, it’s so great. He just loves it. With glowing eyes..., like a child. And you hate to tell him, that everything he just told you, and everything you have “planned” in the last 3 hours (of “water-cooler talk”, mind you)...is a steaming pile of bollocks.;)
“Agile” is such a thing. You know he loves it. But he’s got no fuckin’ clue what he’s talking about. “Yeah boss. Mmm-hmm. Great idea. Love it.... Say, you did hear that at the golf court, didn’t you?”
The thing is... everybody... and I mean every real software developer and project manager... knew that it could. not. work. We were just sitting there, thinking to ourselves: “You have finally found something that’s even more unrealistic than the “plan everything, then GO!” waterfall model, haven’t you,...you little fucker?”
Did you know that the spiral model... was invented over twenty years ago? Yeah. That’s how long you and I were sitting there, in our stinky cubicles... printing out everything remotely resembling fliers, and... casually placing them near your boss’s room, so he miight pick one up, and you would not have to beat him with that fuckin cluestick in your most beautiful algorithmic fashion, until he looks like a real flame-grilled burger king burger!
(Thankfully, not all of the industry is that bad. Most game development studios, from what I have heard, are actually implementing the spiral model in a very successful way. As am I. But it didn’t help you much when you were working at EA now did it?;) ___ * Please, if you want to rip me apart for not getting British English right, write me a e-mail in my native language and regional dialect... south-western Luxemburgish. You know, the one with the “fro”, not the “fra”.;)
If AMD or Intel spent $20 more on their heatsinks, they'd easily be selling 3.4-3.8GHz processors.... Third, power usage hikes as you increase voltage high enough to hit those speeds.
You’re contradicting yourself. The reason they can in fact not easily ramp up the CPU speed, is exactly this increase in voltage. Which increases temperature at a cubic speed relative to processor speed. (See the Pentium 4, for what that results in.)
And because your bring not a single actual argument to why you think there is no 3GHz ceiling (actually it’s a gray area above 3 GHz), I call your argument... busted!;)
Well, what did you expect, from a mindset is not attached to physical reality? That it would make any sense at all?
The wall with the graffiti is a physical object. A paper photo in your hand would be a physical object.
But neither the graffiti itself, nor a photo of it, are physical works. They are ideas/information. Other rules apply.
“Licensing”/“copyright“ is a concept, based on the misconception that ideas/information would be physical objects, and the false need of some people, to control that information. Trying to argue with it, using logic, is (because of that false base assumption) by definition impossible.
The real physical rules for information are: If it’s out there, it’s out. Period. So you either never give it out, and won’t be able to prove that it exists at all. Or you give it out to your chosen group. Which can for example be people that you trust. Or, as in this case, everybody. In case you gave it to everybody who wants it... well, you should have thought earlier about that everybody could store and copy it at will. (Just like looking at the physical wall and then telling someone, or drawing it from memory, is storing and copying.)
It does not matter if people want to accept that. Just as it does not matter if people want to accept gravity. You can try to enforce weird rules of behavior onto people, trough mental tricks of psychology. And it may be easier to do in this case, than it is for gravity. But in the end it’s futile. Because you can’t control the whole world. Even with ACTA. If nothing else, you will end up banning the ability to look at it, because some people became really good at memorizing and reproducing it later. And everybody who can’t remember it, will by definition not remember that it existed.
Pff. If they get your password it’s still over! You know. A good hard lead pipe can take care of that.;)
I recommend having two-factor authentication. With a USB stick that contains a encrypted keyfile. Only the keyfile will decrypt the house. So if they catch you, destroy you USB stick. and if they get your USB stick, destroy yourself (not the hookers and blow style. more the blow to the head style).
Now they can only get you, if they catch you and your USB stick at the same time, without you being able to destroy it. So it has to destroy itself automatically, unless you constantly prevent that.
But how to do that, without the enemy also knowing how to prevent that?;)
Yeah. PHP programmers are incompetent at best. I was one of the best, which still did not make me much. Luckily I was programming other languages in parallel.
But I have wised (wisen? this is my third language of four) up, studied for years, and now am programming Haskell, properly designing software from ground up, writing games and software for the Linux and Java platforms.
Sorry to take the steam out of your comment. But people change.:) And about that replacer: Well, whaddaya expect from something that I hacked together in half an hour for fun, and has no importance whatsoever? ^^ Elaborate software design? On a Greasmonkey script?? LOL
Go head over to #haskell, and have a chat. Then we’ll see you feeling like a PHP spaghetti coder. ^^
Well, how about your test this for yourself. Radio energy levels for phone models are well-documented. (Because there is a law on maximum energy in the EU.) Then read up, what that energy can do to molecules. Including Van-de-Waals forces, protein and DNA molecule vibrations, depth of penetration into the body (especially the head from ear direction, and your balls), how frequency plays a role, etc. Compare that to what other radiation sources can do. (The sun, natural radioactivity, etc.) Look into what the body is able to withstand trough repair (chaperons), etc.
And then you will have a feeling of what can actually happen. But if you do this: Please, please, please, put it online. So you can always link to it, update it, and we can read it and link to it too.:)
What the... My friend, the fact that you misinterpreted my little funny and random word-play as having a “knee-jerk reaction” of an “ignorant troll” really shows, that you should go out more often, and have a little fun. Because you are starting to see assholes everywhere.
See, the problem with text-only communication is, that we read it in the (inner) tone of voice of what we expect to read. Which is controlled by our own mood. So if we expect ignorant trolling everywhere, that’s what we will always see. Which makes them that, in our reality.
And because I just recently realized that I did the same... man... it’s not good for you. You are getting angry where you could have a little laugh etc. Basically making your own life bad.:/
Look at the moderators. They got it right, and even modded you funny, because of the good mood.:) Chill, relax, kiss a girl.:)
P.S.: This is a dual-purpose comment. In case parent comment was really meant funny, it’s meant funny too. In case it’s not, this one also isn’t.:D
...with Biden being a known media industry pupped, and half the white house staff coming straight out of media industry jobs?
They are known to have a distorted reality, and not care about anything else but their own money.
But hey, it’s what people in the US wanted, after all. (Also true for most other countries in the world.) It’s the very reason they voted for one of the (two big) straw-men parties. Protip: When people say they don’t like that, chances are very high (number of voters for both parties), that they’re lying to both, you, and themselves. But facts (re-voting them, again, and again, and again) are irrefutable.
What, why is this marked troll? I really do have this replacer: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/62062 And I thought it was a funny bug, that shows how such replacers can never be perfect. Like that filter that replaced “assassinate” with “buttbuttinate”.:D
Web developers LOOOOVE the power of XHTML5*+SVG+CSS3+JS2+Video.

I have found a screenshot of what they have planned as the final interface for GIMP. ...weird... but definitely better than what they had before. ;)

si = " someone imagining" ++ si

As the recent China-Google attack demonstrated, they are the basis on which most of the successful attacks are crafted these days.
I highly doubt that. I think that, compared to social engineering, zero-day attacks are pretty much an insignificant slice of the cake.
I mean, it’s much easier to hack a PEBKAC. And as the biggest ranks usually also are the biggest PEBKACs, it’s a clear winner. ^^
Or the corpse in the front, teaching the zombies. ;)
How are they going to display the 3D data?
Or is it a typo, and they meant stereo 2D?
