  5. Re:Two things I never found out: on Fan-made Maniac Mansion 256 Color Remake · · Score: 1

    1.) See prevoius comment regarding cross game joke 2.) Developer fluid really does change color when microwaved. This ruins the devloper fluid and adds nothing to the game but realism.

  6. Re:This game was awesome on the NES... on Fan-made Maniac Mansion 256 Color Remake · · Score: 1

    Earlt releases of the nes version let you do this. They later took it out because of complaints.

    Attach a peice of rope to the mac. Attach other end to the boat. This unlocks the macs most useful feature. Boat anchor.

  10. Re:uh? on Why I.T. Matters · · Score: 1

    "b) we need an awful lot of new important business leaders. pick me, i've got a mind on my own." This is why you never be a administrator. In corporate double speak they would say your not a "team player".

  11. Re:the futures here we just can afford it on Tales of the Future Past · · Score: 1

    Lol, you've obviously never read my other posts then. I've done much worse and got modded up for it. People mod me up for content not packaging.

  12. the futures here we just can afford it on Tales of the Future Past · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Lets see what don't we have. Flying cars? Yup got those just need some obscene amount of cash + piolts lisecense to get one. http://www.moller.com/skycar/ Hover boards? Got those too,although their more surf board than skate board sized, and with a large engine hanging on the back. Still not cheap. http://www.futurehorizons.net/hoverboard.htm Thos cool screens that take up the whole wall. Got those too, provided you can afford it. http://www.superscreen.com/ Video phones. Got those, not too expensive but most people just don't care about them. Won't bother posting a link every knows about these. OK so where still missing our space elevator, can't have everything I guess.

  13. Re:Game of skill on Geeks and Poker? · · Score: 1

    A good player will simply fold if you do this. Then the second hand starts what do you do then? The odds can't be consistant if you do this every round. He'll simply wait till he has a good hand folding until he does.

  14. Unholy army of the knight on Trained Rats for Mine Detection · · Score: 1

    Does anyone else think that using rats for military purposes sounds like a half baked plan to take over the world, cooked up by a super villain from a poorly wrriten cartoon. "Go my rat army, kill kill!"

  15. Re:ah, but if the church on New Evidence About 'The Great Dying' 250 Million Years Ago · · Score: 1

    My problem with modern scientific attempts to explain creation is that everything is filitered through peer review. Now on paper this sounds good. Presenting each others findings between learned men. The problem is what if they don't like your research, not for scientific or even logical reasons, reasearch can be shouted down to easily if it goes against the status quo, and once you get shouted down 2 or 3 times, well good luck getting funding. A scientist risks his career if he rocks the boat. This is why creation science will never be taken seriously regardless of the evidence. It's because modern science has more to do with philosophy and politics than facts.

  16. another possibility on Vatican Astronomer Comments On Extraterrestrials · · Score: 2, Interesting

    C.S. Lewis brought up another possible scenario when dealing with aliens and religeon in his book "Out of the Silent Planet". What if the aliens are already perfect christians who didn't mess up in their own garden of eden like we did. Is this why they have no interest in talking to us?

  17. open source on The Flickering Mind · · Score: 1

    "open source won't help a bit" But open source and cowboy neal are the answer to everything.

  18. Re:Lighting still needs work on Perfect Digital Skin · · Score: 1

    I said a "good" lighting model. I know less than satisfactory ones exist.

  19. Lighting still needs work on Perfect Digital Skin · · Score: 1

    The skins looks pretty good but CG lighting is still way to harsh. A CG characters look like a spot light is pointed at them. For darker scenes they just chnage the color of the light making it look like a purple spot light is pointed at the character. Stop working on surfaces and give me a good ambient lighting model.

  20. well behaved suburb??!!!?!?!?!?!? on NYT Discovers Internet's Wild Side: IRC · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The internet is nothing remotley like a suburb, it's the wild west all over again complete with brothels and shoot outs. IRC and USENET where the orginal storehouses of sub-legal activities before P2P came along.

  21. Any here not in grad school? on Math And The Computer Science Major · · Score: 1

    I'm noticing a trend here and I want see if I'm right. Is there anyone here ,willing to defend the strict math requirments, who isn't a grad student/masters holder/PHD? In other words is all this math usefull to us poor bachelors degree holders?

    In other news... The NRF noticed the sun rose today and expects this trend to continue tommorow.

  23. Re:18 credits on Math And The Computer Science Major · · Score: 1

    Critical thinking skills are learned in every class, why waste the time on skills athat you won't be using when you graduate. Thats why so many UWM students cross the brdge and get MIS degree's. Also he have better labs, staring at the phosphor green miller prompt really got annoying after a while.

  24. lots of math on Math And The Computer Science Major · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Excpect everything up to calculus 3, and possibly physics which is a calculus class in disguise They have litte or nothing to do with programming, Most of what you will learn in colledge has little to do with anything.
