The fact that the picked it out just shows that these sort of minute details do get picked out, often subconciously.
The site? Well, to paraphrase 2001, "it's full of trolls".
The other trollificus I know posts here, I guess under another name, he was mentioning the fact that he googled his name and found someone else using it before he did, (he thought he had originated it)...
True, in CGi the world is at your command, but still common, everyday things like human faces, glass, etc, tend to look really wierd if you alter them too far from the norm. They're those types of things which show up in my "somethings not quite right here" section of my brain. You know, the part that those AI scientists/researchers just can't seem to reproduce...
Sorry bout the AOF thing, who'd have thought there'd be more than one trollificus on the internet:)
The nature of glass says, if it's clean enough to be transparent, it's clean enough to reflect light, and therefore show a reflection. Just a limitation of the graphics engine. Internal lighting will obscure most of it, but there should be some visible reflection of the highest contrast areas around.
BTW, how do you manage to post at that slow ass AOF board?
tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin, I promised my girlfriend I'd learn to play the violin..
Best song on the avalanches cd. Especially the parrot scratch part.
There's a breezeblock and a live mix of their's available on most P2P networks, the breezeblock is incredible, mixing 80's electro with bob dylan can't be easy, but they seem to do it effortlessly. The live set rules too.
I spent a half hour reading through their press release/lawsuit, and this is what I got from it.
Sco owns unix, IBM, sun, SGI bought licences for unix. These licences specifically forbid giving away trade secrets. Many of the functions of high end unix ; smp, high availability code, etc, took many developers much time and money to develop. SInce SCO owns unix, they own these enhancements.
When IBM started contributing to linux, they stated many times that they were providing the kernel hackers with the resources (experienced developers who worked on many commercial high end unixes, etc) that IBM had.
SCO says that this is a violation of their licences.
I'm no lawyer, I'll wait to see what the court says.
There are two reasons, as the other poster stated, can you trust the goverment to use the information they gather in good faith, and although you have nothing to hide right now, what happens when the rules change (something you do legally now becomes illegal, for example, criticizing the goverment).
What would they do if..

Well, it is only the first generation, I'm pretty sure the first generation of LCDs wasn't exactly stunning in comparison to CRTs of the time. There were problems with clor depth, refresh, brightness, etc, not to mention sky high prices.
Wait a few generations, I'm sure they'll become competetive.
Group members also can share photos and, more importantly, listen to music available in a common play list. Savage sees this as one of threedegrees' most important features. "Music a lot of times is the background for the fun that you have."
Microsoft used the dinner party as the model for developing the size of the social group and the way music is shared within it.
"It's not uncommon for someone to bring a new CD of a new band they've heard," she said. "That's a very common way for people to learn about new music is through their friends. In fact, word of mouth for music adoption is the most popular way for music to be adopted. So someone brings their CD, and when they leave the party they take their CD home with them."
Group members can create play lists of 60 songs, or about the equivalent of six CDs. The songs are played from the participant's hard drive, rather than being illegally swapped. Songs can be in Windows Media Audio, MP3 or WAV formats.
Sounds reasonable to me, although I wonder if falls under public broadcasting/performance?

About the only thing I came away with is, if you do it the way a specific vendor wants, it kicks the crap outa the other one, otherwise the ATI may be a wee bit faster.

If it's trasparent enough to see the light inside, it should have enough reflectivity to show some sort of mirroring effect.

Well, apart from the fact that to obtain entrance to most LANS, you need physical access (or have to get through a firewall), no.
WEP is also wayyyyyy weak.
I hope you're not saying that NAT alone provides any form of security at all.
They could also be thinking about installing windows ce... :)

Beta software I understand, you can always upgrade... and as often as not, it's free.
Early adopting hardware seems to be a risk, as you're spending money, and you have to be pretty lucky to get it for free.
If I had the money to burn however....
As the tech is still pretty new, and could use some tuning. Not too surprising, most new tech seems to follow ths path.
Does being an early adopter really have much benefit besides bragging rights?
I was planning on waiting anyhow, this just seems to confirm my original instincts.
Yeah yeah, I need to preview :)
