  1. Re:seems like a long time between gold and ship da on Half-Life 2 Ship Date Confirmed · · Score: 1

    72 hours?

    With the way Valve guarded HL2 source, I'd say it will be MINUS 7 days.

  2. Re:Microsoft's Lookout on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Yes, Lookout is a great product...

    But it is really more like a fake leg to a cripple - The fact that I need to use an external problem to solve an outlook problem is really outrageous. Such option HAD to be in Outlook.

    And I still can't figure why the Outlook search has to work so slow...

  3. Re:Cry wolf on Indymedia Seizures Initiated In Europe · · Score: 1

    > And the israeli civilian casualties are not all > innocent, either: the current aggressive government > was democratically elected Wow, that's one weird way to think... Are you saying that targeting civilians in any DEMOCRATIC country is legitimate because they voted for the goverment? So... The conclusion is that it is best to be in a totalitarian regime?

  4. SMS in what countries?? on Google Launches SMS Search Service · · Score: 1

    Would be useful to mention that it works only in USA..? It doesn't work from Israel anway ;).

  5. Re:...so? on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 1

    Exactly. 1GB is just a theoretical limit, it was made just to make the impact it did on the web-mail market.

    The strength in GMail is in its blazing quick DHTML code and only because of it I seriously considered to stop completly using my ISP POP3 service.

    Currently I am only waiting for a legitimate way to check the Inbox without entering the GMail site, but it will come too.

  6. I read it from an Internet Explorer! Yay! on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 1

    May god forgive me.

  7. I am not at all sure about this... on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 1

    Take the Final Fantasy movie was example. The main character, Aki, was voted in some magazine in a top 100 sexiest women.

    Yet, Aki is 100% computer generated women and she is doubtlessly looks VERY real-like. In fact, I believe it is the closest we ever got to replicating humans in computer graphics.

  8. Well, I can just see it on Italy Approves Jail for P2P Users · · Score: 1

    A prison cell with a raper, murderer and a 12 years old kid that downloaded Brinty Spears. ...

    So yeah, it is about time they dealt severely with Brinty Spears lovers.. But what if it was someone who just downloaded a good song?

    Oh the cruel world :(.

  9. Re:Pushing what limits? on Shrek 2 How-To · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't recall anything being wrong with their animation... I was, and still am, amazed with the level of their gfx. I presented a few scenes (live scenes mind you, not screenshots) to parents and friends and they had some difficulty realizing it is computer gfx. The animation was fluid and fine IIRC.

  10. Pushing what limits? on Shrek 2 How-To · · Score: 4, Insightful
    With November's "The Incredibles" being Pixar's first movie to feature an all-human (er, superhuman) cast of characters, it's interesting to watch how these two studios push each other to the limits of computer animation."
    What limit are they "pushing"? Final Fantasy set all the limits, as far as gfx are concerned (not the plot though). Why can't Pixar and the FF group unite forces on this? They surely have a lot to learn from each other. P.S Not that I think that Shrek/ToyStory style of cartoons should be replaced. There's place for every genre.. But lets not call it "pushing limits".
  11. Re:Adult films on Pixar's Next Movie: The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    Personally I loved Monsters Inc and Toy Story 1,2 was simply amazing (especially 2nd of course). But "Finding Nemo" lacks any of that, it had much simpler plot and strangely less dimenasional characters, which is very surprising compared to the number of main characters there. I really do wish this new movie will be more like "Toy Story" than Finding Nemo... Am I the only that sees that difference between these movies? :(
