  1. Re:Good, but still for hobbyists on Blender 2.65 Released · · Score: 2

    Lets not forget the python scripting.

    I may just not know of it, but letting you script at all is a feature relatively unique to Blender. But to choose something so powerful and 'easy' as python... yea.

    If you don't like using a modifier stack, you are always free to 'apply' the modifiers as soon as you find the parameters you want. It's just one extra step...

  3. Re:N-gons? on Blender 2.65 Released · · Score: 1

    ... and what is wrong with n-gons? You know a square or a triangle is an n-gon right?

    The Predator has an operational ceiling of 50k feet. Wikipedia says the Bofors L/70 has a maximum range of 41k feet. Close, but it seems the Predator could remain just out of reach under ideal conditions.

    Not something I'd want to rely on when it came down to it, but it could get the job done.

    Just because it's a tradition or what everyone else does, doesn't mean it's right.

  6. Re:Not all web sites support HTTPS on Cox Comm. Injects Code Into Web Traffic To Announce Email Outage · · Score: 1

    That is not a client problem in both cases. If you offer HTTP you should be offering HTTPS as well.

    You don't have to force it - this lets you use it unencrypted if circumstances (such as old or incompatible browsers as you mention).

    Yea, it's obnoxiously slow because the images haven't been compressed to shit.

    They are trying to hide that your connection is garbage.

    I have Sprint myself. Horribly slow.

    Windows Mail replaced Outlook Express and "functions" nearly the same.

    FTFY.

    Yep. Sounds like someone hitting a panel with a hammer.

    Huh.... good information. Anything I've ever touched beyond some basic macros has been digital from the get-go. No worries about sensor noise/sensitivity when you're doing raytracing or photon mapping.

    Or better sensors/film (sensors most likely these days).

    Really? Damn... link me to that, I want to know how it (or it's precursor) was used!

    Hell, they offer a VM with sage already installed and ready to go. Just run it in vmware player or virtualbox or whatever.

    Yes, they are available. Since you already have the calculator, you can dump your ROM.

    Start driving with chains on your tires, that will change...

    True, but such a scream is not a clear signal. People can only be so loud, and even then - have you been in a school lunchroom before? Kids will make that kind of noise just screwing around.

    Why have a law about murder with a particular tool, when there is a law about murder already?

    They can lob bombs over at us from out of range, launch guided missles from over the horizon... or hell, just fly a bit higher when they drop the bombs.
