Very interesting, the underrated game Beyond Good And Evil involves creature photography as a fairly central gameplay element, and that bit is very good.
Try to make deals with your kids? No offense but you sound almost militant. I think you need a whole team of techs to do all the stuff you mention too.:-)
I loved it, all the gripes are probably valid, it's monotonous but _montonously fun_ in a way. It helps if you love wilderness shooters (as opposed to stuff like Doom 3). The landscape graphics are breathtaking, the ending is cool, and that also manages to recreate some of the vibe from Far Cry.
"had no feeling for the relationship between the source program and what the hardware would actually do, and (most damaging) did not understand the semantics of pointers at all"
Good, not bad, imho.
"I don't usually do things like this to kids your age, but when I saw you coming out of college that day, I knew, I knew, I've got to have you, I've got to have you"
This blurb is horribly biased, using ! and "amusingly" and "you guessed it". Google don't own any properties like Geocities, and don't have that problem. Yahoo! have several people weeding out scam stuff all day long.
Good comment, but the assertion "So if the manufactures themselves can't even get it right, who can?" hardly holds true? As someone pointed out, there are other companies that lead in the digital emulation thing. On the other hand, I have a POD 2.0 myself for rehearsal, it's OK, but that version is VERY FAR from a tube amp.

Is the human in the middle controlling something with that thing he's holding?

PSYCHE! Mr Zurcon lives only to kill.

I got this horribly long mail about this, and thought: fuck it, if this is bad, it'll be on slashdot. thanks as always slashdot.

It burned 1-2% CPU _when the player was not running_, for starters... Read the article.
