And Blakey, let's have you work more on enjoying the discussion, instead of posting nonsense like this.
My initial reply was suppose to be a reply to some ones comment on why does he even use pen and paper and just use the "Wacom Intuos" instead, but I made a mistake and replied to the topic itself. The moderator noticed this, and understood.
To me there is a huge difference.:) I'm not saying my view is how everyone feels.
The smell of the wooden pencil, the feeling of the lead against the paper, my fingers becoming black from the lead, the sound of the pencil as I draw with it, the feel of white scraps of eraser left on the table.
Unlike the first game, I think Valve made the mistake of creating their own engine. They should of licensed one, so they could concentrate on the story, etc instead of building an engine as well.
The first game used the Quake 2 engine, sure they had to make modifications, but that doesn't even come close to building one from scratch.
HL2 also has THE most unsatisfying ending of any game of this level. Hell, I didn't even realize I was fighting the "boss" till it was all over.
Tossing energy pulses and some swirling metal objects that do not fight back is a challenge?
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT... Your telling me you have to be online every time you want to fucking play it???
I bought it last night, $54 from the store. Installed the 5 discs from the cheap-ass paper cd inserts they used. But anyways, sweet there is the game. Then I go to play and find I have to activate it online?!? Fine, whatever. Thats stupid. But I'm fucked, because my inet access won't be installed for another month. So I'm dragging my box down to the office tonight to register it.
But from what I'm hearing now, I have to be online whenever I want to play? Please don't tell me that is the way... I'm already pissed enough about being required to have inet access to play a game I plunked $50+ for, and then not being able to play it.
Not that it will matter or be noticed, I sent this to AOL corp.

What will become of Winamp now? Please release it to the community or give it's rights back to Justin Frankel.
AOL does not have the passion or the correct mind-set to continue it's development. The application, is the Mercedes of music players out there, and also is held very close to a lot of peoples hearts. It is not an app that will grow well in a corporate environment.

This really bothers me. AOL will butcher it. And I want the source before they do.
Winamp is the one app that has always stayed with me through-out the years, a very good app.
Damn it, this sucks.
Will Justin be able to retain the rights to Winamp? Will the source be possibly relesaed? Crappin' AOl is going to bury it? It's like my dog just died or something...
Those people have forgot or haven't been in love.
Just wait until they are madly in love with the person they cherish and they want to give them the best of everything, and they'll be doing the same thing.:)
I'm hoping to propose in a year or so to my baby, so it's cool to see other people doing it.
$450 isn't bad at all, good deal man. Take care, and I wish the both of you the very best.
That's how it is suppose to work, but it rarely does. Plus the President of the USA can wage war for 90 days without congressional approval.
America is actually a republic, not a true democracy. If we were a true democracy, we would vote on every decision.
In a republic the people are (supposedly) represented. However that doesn't mean our elected officals have to vote the way we want them to. Plus our goverment is influenced heavily by big business (corporations).
That is what our schools teach us when were young, and that is what the rest of the world is told. But the people are rarely represented. Look at Vietnam, the country was screaming for it to end, and our government turned a deaf ear to our screams.
Unfortunately our President decided to make a mockery of the U.N. and go out on his own. He can wage war for 90 days without congressional approval. And the whole congress approved the war...
I wish the world would remember (including America) that the governments of countries do not represent the people in terms of their words and/or actions. Some Americans are ignorant, and think since the terrorists came from the Muslim world, then all Muslims and Islam must be evil. We have murdering Christians here, but that doesn't represent all of the Christians. And so on...
My point being, other people of the world shouldn't hate the citizens of America, were just like you. We want peace, not killing or war. And we know about as much about our government as you do.
But l0b0, I'm Josh the Programmer in the USA, I have no control to stop the bombing, etc. No more then you can control your goverment. Whatever your goverment does, doesn't reflect you right?
I hate it when people attack the citizens of the USA. Last time I checked, I can't stop our goverment from being "expansionist brutes" or anything else they are labeled as. The majority of Americans want to "live life, make business" just as much as you do.
I myself perfer KDE, but I don't care which is picked. I wish the entire community would FOCUS their energy/time on one desktop and go with it. It will help Linux get a broader user base that much faster.
I love SUSE.:) But wow, I've never seen Nvu before, it looks like it could go head-to-head with Dreamweaver?
Has anyone used Nvu in a production enviroment and/or used Dreamweaver as well? I'd like to know how your experience was, versus the two of them.
I already have the majority of the programming team using SUSE for Java development. I'd like to move over our developers. (they build out HTML/JSP/PHP pages for us and the designers)
The only thing stopping them is, is their love of Dreamweaver. (Which I've never liked, it's a resource hog)
It is very humiliating... but after the 2000 fiasco, I don't want a repeat of that.
Things have changed so much in the last few years. Or actually, they haven't changed, just that SO much shit is happening in the goverment now, it's spilling into the public light more and more.
Anytime someone criticizes a Linux app, he's considered a "troll". The person most of the time has an well intended message to post, and then gets smacked down by the mod's. Because his opinion didn't match that of the community.
Unless of course he preferences it with "I'm not trolling, promise" or something to that effect. I would love Slashdot far more if they would just get rid of the modding system and have a normal board, where you can't be censored.
I know, I know.. I'm going to get a reply of "your new around here, aren't you?".:) I'm trying to be civil about this, because I don't want to lose any more karma then I have left (for being to funny...). Oh well, just wanted to bitch for a sec.

I could very well be. Mmmmm.. look at that sexy pencil.

I draw during my freetime, and the reason is probably because paper and pen/pencil creates a deeper attachment to your work then a machine.

Thank you, I cannot stand the immature M$ crap either. Same goes for the Bill Gates photo looking like some sci-fi character.
No wonder open source is looked down on as being sophomoric.
Josh
Ha, thanks for giving me a good laugh today. That was some funny sh*t. :) ha.

I clicked some ads, hope it helps. She is beautiful, congratulations. :)

Well come on down to Des Moines, were doing just fine here. All else fails, we'll take cover in the skywalks.
Josh
Those are the boxed versions, not the OEM versions. I meant to say XP Home OEM was $99, XP Pro OEM is only $159.99:
XP Pro OEM - $159.99
Josh
$300? You can purcahse a OEM copy of Windows XP Pro for $99.
:)
BTW, I love your light display.

Where is the Hall of Shame at? So I can nominate Nintendo's ROB (Robotic Operated Buddy). :)

Check out Pornomation. The closest I've *cough* heard of computer animation used with Porn.

I don't know.. ASCII porn doesn't do much for me. :)
