The writer of the article doesn't appear to like lightwave because of its "Text" interface, but I've used it for over 6 years and thats one of the best things about it. Using labels instead of pictures for buttons makes it much easier to use a 3d package (in my opinion) because there are just so many tool in 3d packages, its impossible to make good, descriptive icons for them. Plus as someone already mentioned, lightwave's menu layout is extremely customizable.
I've tried using blender and 3dsmax but I've never been able to get as comfortable with them as I am with lightwave.
Wireless is definitly easier, but you just don't get the same performace. I'd perfer that they stop designing systems with single points of failure. Or if you do, have a backup so it can be fixed quickly.
We had something similar happen at my building when I worked at Kent State University. The air conditioning was being worked on and the workers thought it would be a good idea to plug an AC unit into the server room, something they had been specifically told not to do. The Additional load of the AC flipped the breaker and set off all the alarms, all the switches lost power and backup units shutdown all servers. It wouldn't have been so bad except that all university traffic ends up going through our building for internet, which caused all routers to become backed up. ALL of them. What made things worse was the new sysadmin didn't know about some of the backup systems, and no one knew how to reset the breakers (it was a special system) plus there was a special pin that had to be used that no one knew. It was a hillious 2 hours without internet.
In the paper (yes, I did read the paper...... well most of it.) They point out that their algo doesn't work well with complex semantics, if you have a mostly incomplete object in the picture, it won't be able to make a convincing fix for the image. It also has problems with the subject of the scene, one example was a brick building where the algo had filled the hole with rocks of a similar color. The algo does do a very good job otherwise, many of the pictures were very convincing and could probably replace alot of the photoshopers in the tubes. They do note that their algo isn't ment to figure out whats missing, just fill it with something that fits with the rest of the scene.
Good thing that Parallel parking hasn't been part of the Driver's Test in Ohio for years. We've instead replaced it with manuverability. Funny thing is I could never do it to the right, but could do it to the left without using mirrors. But I did pass going to the right on the exam:)(I only bumped a cone)
yeah, because two mouse clicks for something many users don't use or only setup once per document is so time consuming*....... and comparing it to a 3 year old version is all the rage.......
*is aware that is is just an example, but a better one should have been used.
Slashdot Mirror
Don't give them permission to search your car.
Apparently Jobs is trying to redefine "Open"
I would hope that someone is working on fixing this bug since they've been doing this for 4 years.
well maybe if they's celebrate my birthday instead of flying around or on it things like this wouldn't happen.....
Amazon already supports this by using the MP3 format.
I want to see someone text with a rotory dial. I think it would be amusing....

It's an automatic photoshoping algo.
The only thing that makes this legal is that the company and the website are located in australia.
Ever since I found notepad++ http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/, I have never looked at another editor.
Treo?

Here's a name they should have looked into- Windows XXP Extra Experience
# Apple will offer a Developer Kit, which includes 3.6GHz Pentium 4. OS X 10.4.1 for Intel (preview release). Order today; available in two weeks.
for those whom said it doesn't mean they will go to pentiums.
This should open up a whole new venture for pirates.
Now how would a user fix this?
and NOR
At least I won't be paying for a system with minor updates.
Who Cares? at least it still shows sites that don't use IIS. Now if it only showed sites running IIS, that would be news.
It was great until I started geting spycrap through it too. Now I only use it when I feel like tabbed browsing.
Because that is what the US government uses.
Why the hell did they use interlacing????
