I got DoomIII, and was all geared up for it, but after a while it was just filler. Sure moving those barrels around with that cargo gripper was pretty spiffy, but once I hit "Hell" and was just shooting dead babies.. it sort of fell apart.
Now I'm being presured to get HL2, but from the recent dissapointments, my motivation to shell out the cash just hasn't been there.
And then I look at awesome indie games. For example one of my all time favorites is Elasto Mania. I swear I've lost months of my life from swinging ledge to ledge with my front tire. This stuff reminds me that a game can rock, even when it doesn't have music!
What a refreshing mindset! And very true. Mozilla has some serious teeth showing right now. 10% of the pie is a HUGE piece! Even if Microsoft is preparing their IE7, I'm sure other companies / organizations are learning through open source.
What about the great glory of uncompressed high resolution 24/32/64/XYZ bit audio?
Has anybody even thought of the possibility of someday actually using a medium that requires uncanny amounts of space, because the recording actually records the physical calculations of a drum stick hitting a snare through the friction of air and travelling to your ear?
Sure nobody really talks about "Super Audio Compact Disc" because its "elite" format that has little equipment to playback and a really bizarre selection of titles to purchase, but it's something I could give as a present and feel estatic to recieve for a gift.
It might not even be a laser-disc in the future, but whatever the massive storage medium it WILL require, If you can make it a collectors edition, and put it in a leather bound case with air-tight seals and holographic/print/data embedded pamphlet insert of the artist's entire creative process & world, then I choose the real world medium.
Downloading is an alternate method of transportation. One that exists like spandex exists in the same world as silk.
And I think the Ipod Shuffle is a rip off. It's a fad-crazy exploiting techno-fashion. You don't even have EQ control, let alone the ability to change the batteries.
Their website is horrible! Just looking at their slogan, "We innovate, we share, we gain". They even are so cheap , that they still use a FREE web counter!
Or how about when you click from Patents to News to Investments, the menu positioning isn't the same!
As a media designer and fellow computer guru, I barf on their image and kick them in the nuts for being so sleezy.
I am guessing that RTFA means Read The Featured Article. I think that this article is not so cut & clear as people would like to think. Sure it's a checkpoint verification for the legal system in Australia, and many international bodies, but it will not solve the problem. It only CHECKS the problem. And sure, people can go to jail for failing or financially punished to meet these checkpoints, but it does not solve the problem. It mearly caps it.
I look at what North American culture molds our future generation's minds toward; Toward the ideal that youth is next to immortality. The media industry pushes this. The Fashion industry pushes this. The consumer product industry pushes this.
So much force towards these ideals is bound to apply presure on what people WANT and what people DO.
Japanese porn culture has a tendancy to suggest rape-ish scenarios. Why? Because it is one of the ultimate deviations from a conformed society. It is an Ultimate Bad. But is it rape? Maybe.. Maybe not; Could be acting. But people buy it, watch it, use it.
In order to remove these problems, you have to remove the forces that make them. The cause of the child-porn may even source 2 generations back. The creator of the porn was abused as a child, by his father who drank too much, and thusly has been mentally altered to do such acts again. Will the father of the creator of the child-porn be convicted? Probably not.
It's good that there is effort to keep child-porn rings to a minimal, but they will not go away. These by-products of society are so complicated & diverse that nobody can give a 1 2 3 4 solution.
How about a containment system that totally neutralizes the reactor and locks the radioactive elements upon falling out of standard operating parameters; in a black box format.
Maybe some sort of inflatable goo that bonds to the casing so even if the reactor was cracked, it would all stay in this piece of gum.
I don't know about anybody else, but goo usually fixes the problem says 4 out of 5 dentists.
The patent was denied, yet the research and development already exists.
I was wonder if this is a 2 sided blade in that since no patent will exist, no entity can exclusively profit from the technology; as well no entity can hold the responsibilty of the technology either.
I understand that this move is to thwart any malicous or possibly lethal uses of this technology, but is denying a patent of this type the best solution?
If anybody can give insight on this perspective, it would be greatly appreciated.
If technology keeps going the direction it is today, we will need a format so large that we cannot even comprehend it.
Considering that the proposed
UHDV
needs 3500 Gigabytes @ 24 GB/S just to playback 18 minutes, this HVD can't even meet the mark with it's 1000 GB limit.
..a slight tweak.
It's not bad, but I think for me, I'd have to 1 up the mac if I were going compete against it's trendy style.
I'd go elegant style with the hush case. The way those fins sit, works excellent with the ability to stack as well. And I'm not talking the whole device package, just the case.

There.. I said it.
One to beam up.
"Ann Arbor" or Anne Murray
Now if they were cubes with goo inside, that would be cool. Or neon, like from Star Trek.
Now all those scientists that believed in dark matter will have to be fired or start working on the more traditional and understandable light matter.
"Yes I did think dark matter was involved.. would you like fries with that?"
Or the horrible horrible dream of being in your bathroom taking a whiz.
Now I have to pinch my leg every time I take a leak JUST to make sure I'm not dreaming of being awake and thinking about dreaming.
*cell phone rings* Oh CRA-
That's exactly what happened to me!

Sounds like significant movement in the jungle.
Sort of like digital ants.
Sexy.
Yeah no kidding..
Well at least they're behaving better than Intel. They got their hand caught in Japan's cookie jar and won't fess up to their no-nos.
One company knows how to be respectable, and another corporation deserves a SPANKING hehehe.

End Rant.
Ode TO joy! Word COUNT IS HERE!!! Ten Words excactly!
Or try recording the sound of a 14400 bps Sportster connecting, and have that as your ring tone.
:D
Then whenever it goes off, you can say "Sorry, I'm recieving some classified information on the Jones account."
Either way confusion should override the defualted annoyance

It would be sort of sweet to have a "pay-as-you-go" car. When you refuel your vehicle, that fuel also has the assiciated tax & insurance. Eh Eh?
..when the world has collapsed, cocroaches are ruling the cities and Thunderdome is the equivalent of Disney Land;
Usenet will be there.
