With years of programming experience, I was please to be told one day to use ii, jj, kk, ll for my iteration variables. Why? Try to search for 'i', 'j' in your code...
I have code written by myself. I wish to share it with others in case they find it useful and I have been thinking of making it GPL. However, what I wonder is the following.
Consider that I make it GPL on 2005-01-01, then continue to improve my own code without anyone else is adding to it, then on 2005-12-01 someone adds their first contribution. The code pre 2005-01-01 is non-GPL so that I could make proprietary, but what about the code up until 2005-11-30? Do I give away all my rights to the code when making it GPL? Does the GPL say anything about this? What about LPGL?
A similar idea is that what if I want to keep a main thread that I work on and maybe make money off one day [I need to have some income], but I will allow anyone else to *fork* from.
So in summary, what license can you use if you wish to make money of your code, but at the same time want to share the whole or parts of your code?
Me and friend has been playing with the idea to project a car racing game onto the wall in a narrow room or a hallway. With some simple algebra you could calibrate the sidewall and corners so that the scenery on the left and the right of the car is projected on the side walls and the road on the wall in front of you. Such scenary will not requiry much resolution since you will not look at it directly, but it will definitely add to your perception. That should quite a simple add-on to existing games since you only have to reserv some of the margin for the sidewalls and the ceiling.
Imagine when you see/get a feeling of your oponent next to you... To bad I can't afford a projector though:(
Some statistics: On my IBM Thinkpad A31 with Intel Pentium 4M 1.80Gz + 512MB it took 150 minutes to convert 41 *.rm (21MB, 32Kbps Stereo, approx 90 minutes) into 64Kbps Stereo mp3s that became 41MB each.
Because it is a bit slow, it's a pitty that you can not convert your jobs to a cache and then send them to your iPod; now your iPod is unusable during the convertion.
RealPlayer 10.5 beta allows you to convert files into MP3 (32,56,64,96Kbps - they have link to download hi-bitrate MP3 converters but then you have to pay they say) and AAC/*.m4a (96,128,160,192,256,320Kbps).
BTW: Anyone known alternative freeware RM->MP3 converters? And a command line MP3 read and/or write tagger for Windows?

Is Caps Lock Dead?

For my IBM Thinkpad A31 and WinXP I swap CapsLock with LeftWindows (Start menu) and RightCtrl with Application ("right-click" popup menu) => less mouse activities.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 # IBM Thinkpad A31 keyboard remapping for Windows. # # This register key will remap the keyboard such that # 1) when you press CapsLock you will get LeftWindows ("Start menu"). # 2) when you press RightCtrl you will get Application ("pull down"). # # Remapping: # 1) CapsLock [003A] -> LeftWindows [E05B/E01F] # 2) RightCtrl [E01D] -> Application [E05D/E02F] # # Comments: # The "scan 1 make"/"scan 2 make" codes are within brackets. Use one! # # Usage: Double click on this *.reg file. Restart Windows. # # Reference: # [1] http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/tech/input/w2k scan-map.mspx # [2] http://www.barcodeman.com/altek/mule/scandoc.php
This is in style with a headline in a Swedish newspaper that was reporting about the German psycho cannibal story back in 2002 where one guy offered to get his willy cut off, fried, and share it with another wacko who afterwards would finish the rest of him:
German tried to eat his penis, but got eating himself!

What's the resolution? There is no ruler/scale displayed. And come on, the amount of details is far better than Google Map's resolution on Sweden (http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=sweden&ll= 55.728657,13.257751&spn=1.006855,2.510376). Seriously!
So, will you get a speeding ticket flying 55mph on a 35mph road if you don't touch the ground?

Can I put it in my inkjet?

Why don't we tell him and a couple of his friends that there's a lot of bad guys up there and that they can have the honor get up there first, ehe?
