  1. Re:The lighting sucks on A Very Detailed Dissection of a Frame From DOOM (adriancourreges.com) · · Score: 1

    doom3's lighting was a pain.. It was nearly impossible to get decent looking lighting that didn't also kill performance...unless you were going for a dark scene. In many ways, the static lightmaps of the previous engines gave more realistic lighting and shadow, especially with later versions of the q3map compiler..

    Good luck with that..

  3. Re:More reasons to use Windows instead of Linux on Linux Kernel 3.14 Series Has Reached End of Life (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    That's what the LTS branches are for...and unlike Windows, you're free to upgrade whenever it suits you. Linux runs on 32 bit systems just fine, you just need a better distro.

  4. Re:Goodbye, World Wide Web. on Linking Without Permission Violates Copyright, Rules EU Court (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I realize lawyers may look at it that way, but it's not really true.. Both refer to an external source.. The question is whether referencing the source should be treated the same as hosting the distribution point. Allowing this just enables the kind of witchhunt copyright crusades of the previous decade.

    Is there? both can link to an external violating source. The only difference is that 'img src' is loaded automatically as part of the page and 'href's have to be clicked.

    Linking to and embedding data from other documents is the whole reason it's described as a web in the first place.

    The old are more apt to become jaded because they gloss over critical differences in details when something is tried again, but the young are easily mislead into thinking the old is new and better because they weren't there the first (second/third/fourth) time it was tried. Both can be misleading.

    Kinda like when the NYT publishes one of their passive-aggressive smears.. It's expected, so why get uptight about it? Facebook has made their political culture quite clear, long before this happened.

    The right's got foxnews, the left's got NYT and NPR (list not all inclusive). I would take any 'journalism' from these outlets with a healthy dose of skepticism.

    License it how you like. If you want it included in the kernel, you'll have to license that submission with GPLv2. As the copyright remains with you, you can choose to multilicense it as much as you like.
