  1. Re:Loaded question on Will W3C Accept DRM For Webfonts? · · Score: 1

    An image. It's a logo, like a letterhead. It needs to look exactly like how you want it - you cannot leave it as text and expect that.

    Maybe once SVG becomes widely supported, that will be a better option, but for now - image or nothing, thanks.

    A well designed page has no care for the specific font that is used, only the style of font and size.

    I don't want your fancy font! If my browser wants to use foo-font regular, point 10, I want it to be able to.

    If you are more worried over presentation, HTML may not be the media for you.

    That has everything to do with nothing. Congratulations, you almost won the "most useless post" award! Unfortunately for you, I just won it, with this one.

    I can attest that I play better after I've had a beer or drink. More than one and it's a detriment however.

    I've never touched "real" drugs though - alcohol being the closest to illicit I've touched (and plan to)

    Because I won't override those anyways and use a standard font of my choosing.

    Use font-family, do NOT specify a font for me. I, or my browser, will choose the font.

    Let n represent any prime number.

    n's number of digits is always prime, when represented in base-n (hint: one digit)

    This is pretty far from off topic mods.

    If you can't understand something, it's best to leave it unmoderated and save your points for something that genuinely needs modding.

  9. Re:Honesty on Computer With UK Bank Customer Data Sold On eBay · · Score: 1

    While that kind of payment is good, it unfortunately encourages people to blackmail for the reward. I would rather people avoid trying to steal data with the intention of performing a "good deed" for the reward.

    You have to get the language down first before auxiliaries like music will make sense. Otherwise, the most the music will ever represent is a possibly pleasing sequence of sound.

    Well, you are right, but music can be written down...

    What's really sad is that we can't say "fuck you, this is for a good purpose" and just do it anyways. The idea that copyright is held paramount is what upsets me. Screwed up priorities, is what I think our real issues stem from.

    Sorry. I get confused in the morning sometimes, I guess I found my way into his kitchen by mistake.

    I'll try to avoid further kitchen-defecation.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

    Right argument, wrong backing. You want the stuff to the right of the semicolon: "... or abridging the freedom of speech..."

    Whoosh. You can use telnet for more than telnet servers. IE, you can do an HTTP get request with telnet and get the HTTP headers and code dumped to your screen.

  16. Re:Gameplay vs. Graphics on Dreamworks and Carmack Discuss 3D and Threading At IDF · · Score: 1

    Hmm, your post is contradictory. Sure, they want to support Linux. But they can't devote company resources (ie, cash) to it. Sounds reasonable - they want to do it but the investors don't. They will however continue their practice of open sourcing engines unless something stupid (patent troll) comes up. So, in the end, we may not have the actual game under Linux, but believe me when I say we WILL have the engine. Look at Doom, Quake, Quake 2, and Quake 3...

    I would say this paints a picture far more positive than what you see it doing.

    Thats subjective to your tastes. I thought the environment was entirely appropriate. In fact, playing Quake 4 (which I also loved and thought the environment was pretty damn good) I enabled self shadowing for flashlights and stuff - imagine walking down a corridor with a squad but having to deal with your own shadow being cast by their tactical lights...

    It really depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for an arcade shootfest, Doom3 was only halfway there.

    As for the ductape bit, yea I agree with you on that. I also wonder why, with the technology for plasma weapons, nobody has any friggin' nightvision or thermal optics.

    Unless you randomly paste links that you can't remember copying, visiting them, and then deciding to install the advertised antivirus software... I would consider this attack vector to be pretty benign. Darwin for the internet, if you will.

    Having played Doom first, there wasn't much with Wolfenstein that warranted me to play through. Or at least when I was 12. (I think? can't remember when that all was)

    The original questioner is doing this currently, GPG and then FTP to remote location.

    They are looking for some kind of automated system that can handle mirroring like rsync, but do all the gpg magic too.

    You've never played Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Occult aplenty, including an unhealthy dose of zombies, and guards with superhuman eyes and ears that seem to detect you from 30 miles away.
