Knightmare was just fucking incredible. I loved that so much. The kids NEVER EVER finished the quests and always used to look so upset at the end of the show, bless them.
I do wonder where all these TV shows went. There were so many just totally twee and bizarre programs. Knightmare, Gamesmaster (DOMINIC DIAMOND!!)... ahhhhh. Now it's just crappy kids sit coms. Sigh. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
On another note, 'My Family' is actually a really bloody good sit com despite looking terrible on first glance. It's just spot on.
Oh man. When i used to have sky ALL i used to watch was location, location, location repeats and worlds wildest police chases. I fucking love that sheriff.
There is NOTHING else worth watching on. I have the Family Guy boxset so that's out the equation too...
Stop spreading this bloody stupid urban myth. You only have to pay for a license if youre RECIEVING BROADCAST SIGNALS. If it's connected to an xbox, your playstation, your VCR, your mum, whatever else, you don't have to pay.
It's great, I love it. It's kind of a huge accentuation of everything british.. "please don't do that... no.. please.. oh.. that's naught.. no.. you naughty person".
I have a TV but only use it for my media center and games and it's not tuned in at all; I told the License people and they're having a quiet time at the moment. I'm waiting for the onslaught.
My mother got rid of her TV and license and told the license people but they simply didn't believe her. As a single woman by herself she didn't want to let the inspectors in, so, as she can legally do, when they started to threaten to send an inspector round she sent letters saying that she would not allow it. they then proceeded to send threatening letters saying that she was breaking the law 'by having a tv and no license' (huh?), to which she told them 'no... im not... i dont have a tv'.
Basically, this went on for months and months until she quite frankly told them to fuck off and leave her alone:-).
nearly everything DOES suck on TV in the UK. BUT when there's satire, it's absolutely incredible.
Take 'This Morning with richard not judy' for example, or maybe a bit of 'the adam and joe show', or a bit of 'i am not an animal', or a bit of 'brass eye'...etc...etc
wheels dont run over bits of paper and old cans on the floor. wheels don't negotiate a 8 inch gap between 2 sofas. wheels don't go down spiral staircases. wheels don't like some textured surfaces. wheels take lots of power.
when/if they crack the two leg thing it'll be incredibly vast and applicable to so much. therefore price EVENTUALLY will drop. no point in f'ing with more stupid half way points. just keep working on the goal.
And humans are specialised. They can climb walk and crawl pretty much everywhere. THAT is useful.
it's the usual figure of 8 shaped cord isnt it? I hate these things and I don't really trust them as far as I can throw them. the thing I always noticed when i plugged the cord into the xbox whilst the cord was still plugged in was that as it went in, it sparked when it was NEARLY touching.
I still can't work out where the 'when left on' fire hazard comes from however.
Interestingly, not all masks will work. There are systems that are already deployed in the UK where they can measure relative distance of facial and body features and compare them up to a database of their criminals. Quite cool...
MY point is that TRUE INTELLIGENCE would mean that they'd figure it out for themselves..

i dont believe AI has anything to do with 3d environments or ANYTHING of the such, in EXACTLY the same way that 3D physics engines are nowhere near to what they actually, by intelligent theory, should be.
The problem with everything here is it's people trying to do eye candy before solving the real problem: realistic, convincing environments come from EVERYTHING being involved in a physics model. The floor should be attached to a scale globe which has it's own gravity, every item should have it's own gravity, no matter how minute, and when in a shooting game, the bullets should be physical entities, and when shot should only 'fly' because there's particles/pressure in the gun pushing it outwards.
It's a long way off, but I feel many people miss the point that rather than hacksawing together various rules, it's becoming time that everything has things applied to it, no matter how insignificant. AIR should be a particle in the game's memory just like a solid object... etc etc.........
The problem? we simply don't have the processing power for this... or rather we do, but we're expected to use a hell of a lot of this for gfx processing.
Back to AI. AI isnt about designing for an environment, it's about designing for anything. That's what AI is; adaptive, thinks about whatever environment it is in and acts accordingly. IF there's restricted physics rules, it tries to figure out the limits...etcetc............
speaking of AOL cds, are they just getting a bit tongue in cheek now. The other day, there was a huge BARRELL filled with them outside my local B&Q (hardware store for the non-ukers). Needless to say, the number never goes down and people chuck just-obtained reciepts in it. wooohoo.
cor... i remember working through lemmings on the amstrad years ago, writing down each and every level password. I had piles of A4 sheets listing them... That game was SO hard by the end.
You're such an arrogant git. The fact that we HAVE conquered the planet makes us lacking in a certain attribute that a lot of other animals embrace: regard for each other.
How is it intelligent to go make holocausts, bomb the fuck out of iraqis and take part in ethinic cleansing. How the heck is it 'intelligent' to wipe out environments belonging to every other animal except our own.
oh, that is so cool. That's so what I'd do if I was a teacher. I always dream of being a teacher actually, just for the endless power trips you can have. But then... i drift back into my programming job and just realise it's a dream...:-)
They're not as bad as the naysayers say.... My father has CDs from the start of the eighties (and maybe even 70s) which still survive till this day beautifully.......

No, it's not. Humans (and animals) have the sense which is more important than ANYTHING in public situations: general awareness.
what if a little kids runs round it's feet, or a kid runs in front of them? The robot goes NEAAAAAARGH and falls over.
Until they can produce organic robots who use their legs without so much bloody automation, then you can start saying theyre ready.

We just don't have the power.

im quite surprised they didnt try injecting XML in somewhere; the world's best buzzword, this month.
speaking of AOL cds, are they just getting a bit tongue in cheek now. The other day, there was a huge BARRELL filled with them outside my local B&Q (hardware store for the non-ukers). Needless to say, the number never goes down and people chuck just-obtained reciepts in it. wooohoo.
I was just checking that and wasn't sure exactly... I just remember him having very early 80s CDs. As i said, they live to this day.

Yeah but then you run away from him and he breaks his ankle so you have to be the reaper till he heals...

Idiot.
I picked something up at a dutch pub too. Can't for the life of me get rid of the itching down there though.

Black boxes in cars? fuck that. *stroking my 1974 mg with pride knowing it won't be having one for quite a few years... :-)*
