Ok, lets see.. we got here a bunch of the best kernel writers *and* driver writers in the world. They are bored.
Now, one thing they can do is listen to the community whining about some obscure feature or other not working while the basic core works pretty well.
The other thing is to start to Innovate. You know - that thing where you actually add something new instead of doing the previous one better (or just doing it over an over again).
It's not hard - look for something which always eluded you, made you feel unnerved, simply got in your way or does not exist and add it. Most people think that inventing stuff is a big deal, but it is simply answering a need, the difficult thing is usually finding a need which really need answering...
I've added two features to blender, one of them was in the save file code. It was very easy.
As far as I can see, people are not willing to invest the time to learn the code and then bitch about how difficult it is, but the simple fact is that software this size must be learned before coding for it. This is true to linux kernel, open office, ogre3d and any other active software project.
I can say that when you "get it" its an excellent design and its very easy to add features which first look impossible. A good example for this is brecht's latest SSS addition. two files with the logic + minor changes to the renderer and here it is. Make that happen with other systems more easily..
seriously though, I don't think the zealots go that way.. they are more into "this is not a good enough movie tsk tsk... they should have made it better tsk tsk.."
Actually, a proffesional script writer wrote the story. I suggest you go through the movie a few times (say , 10 ) before saying it's a tech demo, because it's not.
As for the technical aspects, there are always places to improve, the beauty part here is that you will be able to load the blender scene files and fix it yourself. No need to wait for anyone else.
You say that "they" will create a theora and ogg version, "they" didn't do it, and you are pissed off about it for some reason.
The project is open, download the HD version and reencode it in Theora. I'm sure "they" will be happy to put your turrent file on their site if it's good enough.
The sad thing is that I got a flamebait moderation (and was called a "not so smart guy") just because I *actually did get* to the main page of the home page and *did download* the zip file (which ignited the whole thing to begin with- who is using zip for linux). It turns out that the zip contains *all* the binaries and you should run something like
>linux-86-glx to start it...
And it sucks, btw... the thing is so slow you wish you died... if this is a quake 1 port (on a 2.4 GHZ with Nvidia 5700 on Gentoo) it is one hell of a bented one.
Reminicint of classics like Quake 3 Arena and others.. I wonder what engine is used here (Darkplaces?)
It doesn't say anywhere what platform is this for ?
I'd suggest checking: a. tomcat b. jboss (or any other app.server for that matter) c. apache d. IIS security holes. e. how many ppl r using apache vs. IIS. f. SHUTTING THE FUCK UP.
You obviously have no idea of how to develop a REAL web app, because if you would have you wouldn't have started this argument in the first place.
Kjella, check the original posters other posts.. he is an MS centralized advocate, which in itself may be ok - but by buying into the MS perspective he warps the world outside that protected, warm place and *thinks* that the GPL will create a problem with his other non-GPLed software...
That said, he did post a couple of good posts about MS (or at least he got moderated "insightful"...)
Having quantom computing will have lots of possible applications, but most importantly if the "bad guys" will have it , they will be able to create keys much harder to decode than simple RSA stuff...
The algorithms are already out there. The only thin we should hope for is that DARPA will have some answers for those kind of encryption when quantom computing will be available to mass markets.
So, no - its not false, you were answering this guy like you know something, but you don't - read up a bit about quantom cryptography and wisen up.
Btw, I think you were talking about using optical cryptography in your last sentence.. an idea in which you can *measure* the quantom state of the photons you receive during the key swapping and so when the actual message gets you can check if anyone is listening to you.
I find the idea of semantic webs confusing.. if the meta data has a rule saying the "if A is friend of B then B is friend of A" the logic behind the Jim thing is ok, but the real life applications elude me, since I can say that "if A is a donkey , it can fly" in my meta data and screw the whole thing to hell?
So ? build bezien nets to check which of the logic related stuff is right and which is wrong ?
And about the rant.. give t.b lee some respect the man *invented* www (while the two others can't do anything to save their lives, how balmer is the second reachest man in the world is a mistery to me..)
It's not rendering, bus, AGP speed, AI or network anymore (I assume the network is ok since QII engine..);
It's the physics. Currently there is no known physics engine that can handle hundreds or even tenths of objects without maxing the CPU (even iterative methods are CPU mongers and not as precise..)

This kind of videos are just another cruelty to critters. Cats after a certain age can be killed off something like this.

I hope all is well with them over there..
am I the only one who read this and thought "wow, these id games are really hitting it off in taiwan" ?
It can be an offspring of "gentoo"...
"genmovoo"?
"menvoo?"
"gentivo"?
seriously though, I don't think the zealots go that way.. they are more into "this is not a good enough movie tsk tsk... they should have made it better tsk tsk.."

And stop whining.
Don't forget: TiVo going bankrapt and don't honor their life-long service agreement....
With Myth I'll always have the source.
Yeah, I know, it does :(

Being anti-Microsoft doesn't automatically make something true.
Yes.. But having dissassembly output does...
Well, as long as they wrote the mono code they were contained... :-/
O o...
Yeah, but now we got Myth (or TiVo, ( or ReplayTV, or freevo) ) So fuck em all...
Yeah.. I must agree...
The guy was buttling this arch-enemy for weeks - and how does it end? He told him he has the IP of the email sender by reading the header.
Wow. This will probably work with *actual* computer-programmers/hackers...
Anyway, nice and interesting post all around..
Does anyone else find it unplausable that almost ALL "anonymous coward" posts in this item are microsoft-centric ?
I'd suggest checking:
a. tomcat
b. jboss (or any other app.server for that matter)
c. apache
d. IIS security holes.
e. how many ppl r using apache vs. IIS.
f. SHUTTING THE FUCK UP.

what is your email? I need your email to send an invite :)
If you want a gmail account, please explain your email (or give another email) and I'll send you an invitation.
:-)
I don't want to be the only basterd around
Ok.. time to face up to the truth... Microsoft personnel descovered /.
Well, I can't see through all of this FUD...
Were you trying to be funny or just annoying ?
Well.. :)
This is wrong in so many levels

You actually forget the most important aspect..
It's not rendering, bus, AGP speed, AI or network anymore (I assume the network is ok since QII engine..);
It's the physics. Currently there is no known physics engine that can handle hundreds or even tenths of objects without maxing the CPU (even iterative methods are CPU mongers and not as precise..)
I know, I know... It's serious...
