can't see pics anymore...
but i think it was that homeworld wannabe game
O.R.B.
btw yea... love homeworld and cataclysm, the single player campaigns and gameplay were awsome.
I don't see the problem of using a servlet-applet combination for interactions with a server through a user-friendly graphical interface inside a browser. It really isn't asking much for a graphical designer to learn how to use Swing and java graphics APIs.

In this same sense, functions are useless because you can just write the code inline and use GOTOs
um... no... GOTOs have completely no organizational purpose for code whatsoever...
Using macros can add another level of abstraction to your code and can make it more expressive. The perceived cost of that it reduces readability for people not familiar with a particular set of macros.
thanks for restating whats said in the article...
Actually quake bots are programmed to have weapon different preferences in their individual characteristics.
the nightmare version of xaero has 99.9999999% accuracy with the railgun and hits u anytime anywhere any distance.
Well obviously you can't judge WC3 on its single player. You're right, the single player sucked ass, there wasn't much of a story line, and no character developement.
But its success as a multiplayer game is unprecedented. Intensive multiplayer strategy coupled with the flexibility and availability of battle net gives the game a definite edge.
And of course there is the replay value, much accredited to the POWERFUL campaign editor allowing programmers and non programmers alike to express their innovation. New and unique maps are always being produced and the game keeps rolling, which is exactly how Starcraft lasted so long as well. I don't understand why so many other companies have failed to see this.
Games have completely eaten up the young generation alive. And i'm not talking about me! Its sad to see 10 12 year old kids sitting at the computer all day playing games. I can't tell where its all going to lead to, but not good so far.
This may be a generalization but young kids are getting dumber by the minute.
yea they are supposed to be banned during lifeoff and landing because they can potentially disrupt transmission from ground control. They are usually allowed once the plane reaches a certain altitude.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't using microwave radiation to heat the air consume a lot of energy than burning solid fuel? If so, wheres the applicable purpose?
Im guessing the real value of this is the huge range range of the "telescope", image the focal length of a lens with diameter of a planet, now how many times larger is that compared to the hubble?
although the resolving power is questionable.
Hence, it is not useful for the contribution to existing research but discovering new phenomenons in the universe.
Changing one term in the formula varies the proportions of the shape - moving from a round circle to a long and skinny ellipse.
This reminds me of the eccentricity ratio, C, of a conic function. It relates the parabola, hyperbola, and elipse. (eg, the parabola is the perfect shape as it has a eccentricity of 1 and the hyperbola >1 while the elipse is 1)
However, im curious to what he did to transform a circle into various other shapes, which he did not mention in the article. big secret?;-)
Aye, but nothing can be truly random
Actually, if Heisenburg theory of uncertainty holds true, which is supported by the unexplainable phenomena of singluar photon diffraction, random numbers are totally possible at the sub-atomic level and are not difficult to manipulate. This article hardly touches on how the numbers are generated, which lends me to question how valid this technology actually is.
Its unforunate that cross-platform technology is constantly going downhill because it doesn't have a competitive edge, driven by fanatic C elitests only comparing its performance in speed. Thats not what Java was designed to do! Sad to see that Sun is forced to resort to these measures to stay in the market as it moves away from platform indepedence.
I'd love to take a science-fiction class if given the oppertunity. Actually, I'm sick of how much emphasis is put into the study of classical literature in regular english classes. Of course it is important be familiarized with classical literature, but I wish teachers would take just one masterfully written modern book and put it into the curriculum. Many science fiction novels are equally as intriquing politically, social-economically, and well crafted in language as any classical novel. Unfortunately, over emphasis on classical lit. is often what causes students to lose interest. Perhaps having a science-ficiton class will give some students an option, but I would rather see implementation of perhaps some quality sci-fi studies into regular english classes.
in Mathematics, testing this theory lots of times with lots of different numbers (see computers).
are you insane? of course PI wasn't proven, but haven't you ever heard of proves for irrational numbers such as root 2? Appearantly you've never heard of infinite series proves either... maybe short of understanding in calculus?

anyone else wondering where such a small system is getting the energy needed to ionize a large amount of xenon atoms?
does this mean convicts get lan parties now?

its like deja vu all over again....

macros are useless, theyr just inline functions, if u want the extra performance boost for inline code, just declare a function final...
I can't believe Starcraft Ghost didn't win anything, it looks damn awsome...
when they released starcraft and C&C for the console... what an atrocity that was... the horror... dragging units with a gamepad...

Have u heard about the guy that tried to counterfeit a 6 dollar bill? that didn't go well...

you mean a potato?

Probably a function of decision to design a game that would be released on PC and the three consoles simultaneously.
Or just another no-talent game company trying to rip some quick easy cash off a new hit movie.
