Does Constant Access Shatter the Home/Work Boundary? Yes as an Access SQL programmer/Data Analyst, Access can shatter more than the Home/Work boundaries. It can shatter your soul.
As an independant devloper I can tell you the cost of MAKING a game has drastically decreased.
Lets look at the facts. 5 years ago there was no considerable comparision to the engines we have to day.
When some one makes a game they have 4 options:
1) Buy a liscense from a big name engine maker (unreal, etc)
2) Buy a liscense from a indie devloper company (GarageGames, C2, CLO) There are tons now compared to just 5 years ago
3) Use a opensource engine like Orge(However these have yet to come as far as many other engines)
4) Make your own
These options which werent so readily availble have made the market what it is today. Someone with programming skills like myself can hire an artist and pay him while I grind out code. I dont need some startup company and machines and developers. I do all my game programming at my house! I mean you have options even on your art pipelines on most major engines nowadays aswell. You dont need to go invest 10 grand on 3dsmax with an engine. You can use Lightwave, Game Studio, Maya, etc. For your artwork.
These cost combinations make it allowable for someone like myself to make a game. Sure it definatly isnt a high budget game like the latest hl2 or farcry, but the industry is getting better. Sooner or later you will have games that are made by 3-4 man teams that look like hl2. Infact on www.garagegames.com there are some pretty slick looking games with vertex shaders built in and ready to play.
Now one can argue the merits of those 4 approches to making a game, i mean sure if you buy a nice engine your gonna save yourself a lot of time. When you pay money things do get done. However you have to decide do you want to pay no money and do it all yourself? Pay tons of money and have all the tools easily made and handed over to you for your disposal. Or do you want to go somewhere in the middle?
I have been working on my game with the Torque engine by myself for over a year and its Playable. Yes you can go log in sign up and go blast some fools. Im a one man team and I pay for artwork from skilled artists. Not because its easy rather because i have no art skills:-)
When in the last 5 years has it been that easy for someone like myself to take a off the shelf engine chop 60% of it and make his own game that works on all platforms? Its definatly a recent thing.
No one should have to explain their drug habit unless it effects other people. What if this guy actully does better in school or in his relationships because of pot. Yeah just because you dont believe that is possible doesnt mean POT or any other drug doesnt work. You remind me of every other ignorant fucktard who just spouts off meaningless sayings without really backing them up. "Your a junkie so your not fixing your problem!" You tried pot a little and you know the long term effects. WOW IM AMAZED. Who the hell are you to call him a junkie?
In the end all that matters if you have a routine that fixes your problem. If its a joint, ritilian or an excersize in concentration it doesnt matter if it helps you out. Just because you cant believe that pot helps him out doesnt give you the moral authority to judge them. What works for someone is what works for them.
Writing about ignorant people who dont know the half of it solve my ADD. What about you?
There might be a small populace who looks at this marketing and switches. However if it comes to be the case of me and many of my friends, we are just not interested. I have a browser which is secure, reliable and reads every site out on the internet (well the ones i look at anyway.) Avant is that browser. I dont see any huge major reason why i should switch over to firefox. Retarded Slashdot troll will say BUT IOUDAS ITS BASED ON INTERNET EXPLORER AND ITS TEH SUX11!!one eleven..
Label me as flamebait unless firefox wipes my ass after visiting slashdot... Im not really interested in twiddling with a browser and learning a new program or interface. Upgrades? Toolbars? Pretty much every browser gets new features. Im not impressed. I have yet to see something that was so revolutonary that I NEED IT! Why would i ditch a working solution that i dont have malware or popups on? What firefox should worry about instead of dipshit marketing ploys is how to get people like myself interested in actully switching over to their browser.
As a member of the gaming industry i feel you sure lump a lot of us in to a category. Most indie devlopers i associate with use the Torque engine. My current project subwars on www.violetgames.com is not a sequel, repeat or idea from another game. Dont be confused with major game shippers and true game devlopers. There are tons of unique fun games on various engines to be had out there. Just takes some looking around.. The problem is most huge game companies are in it for profit, when people like myself are in it for the hobby / fun..
So i guess now in slashdot you can post a bunch of links to wikipedia spout of stuff with no factual basis and get mod points... gee goly let me try!
Sorry to let you know but it wasnt freedom fighting americans that exclaimed we need the United nations.... infact it was many countrys and pervious agremments like oh i dont know the LEAGUE OF NATIONS. But no it was our free spirit that made the united nations....
Sorry to let you down but back when wwII started communism throughout the world was thought to be the next form of goverment because nothing else was working. you can find that in any college history book or even on the history channel. What stopped that from happening was our president and a war bringing us our of the current depression of the time.
However thats just semantics
Lets just take a look at your id system point
http://www.epic.org/privacy/id_cards/
Quote from the site:
Americans have rejected the idea of a national ID card. When the Social Security Number (SSN) was created in 1936, it was meant to be used only as an account number associated with the administration of the Social Security system. Though use of the SSN has expanded considerably, it is not a universal identifier and efforts to make it one have been consistently rejected. In 1971, the Social Security Administration task force on the SSN rejected the extension of the Social Security Number to the status of an ID card. In 1973, the Health, Education and Welfare Secretary's Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data Systems concluded that a national identifier was not desirable. In 1976, the Federal Advisory Committee on False Identification rejected the idea of an identifier.
Hmm thats odd in all my books i cant find any places where bills were proposed that were like the real id act that got shot down. Unless you are saying any of the previous laws are like an ID act.. which is just plain silly
Then you pose all these big brother arguments like the goverment has now just started lying to us.. I got big news they have been lying to us before world war II
But the terrorists win when goverment takes civil liberties away!!!!!!! Such a stupid friggin argument
Like youve been hanging out with Osama planning on how to demean amercia to help you. PFFT
Its a nice idea to think linux can do anything anywhere anytime. My father program's PLC's and various other types of machinery for Rockwell Automation. He currently works in a papermill where they have sensors for everything. at a given time they are capturing 160, 170 things in 1 area at 10 ms at a time and its being logged to a server. PLC hardware that my father codes in is speically built for automation tasks and its software is usually totally customized for the task at hand. They provide realtime soultions. I dont think linux or other types of PLC's will have a break in anything remotly related to that because as im told his company still holds a lot of market compared to its japenese counterparts.
god forbid in the real world someone uses IE. do you expect everyone to bend over and like firefox because you do? Most people use IE and you have to know both of them. Or understand most clients to be in a pc repair business. Telling grandma customer #35 that she is a ubernoob because she is using IE wont only make you look like an idiot, but make you look like you dont know what you are doing. Professionals need to know everything about the things they are working on. There is no excuse for anything less.
while fedex will save you money on international shipping, local shipping, printing and collating. it wont save you a dime on car insurance..
Thats why we have geico
no thats not what i was talking about. its kind of similar. If i find some links ill post them, but when i was looking at that kind of setup back then they werent using fluorinert
i played with that, the problem you run into is condisation. atleast the ones i ran into. Id rather have a totally enclosed pc than one open to air.
Buying a new motherboard after your ice cubes melt isnt exactly what i consider a solid design
Back when modding was almost the best thing to do since eat sliced bread these things were out. I once heard that you can actully dunk your whole pc into a coolant that is not conductive and then make that cooling liquid sub zero.
I also had a freeon based system with forced air going once. I mean really these units are expensive. Anyone know of any low cost high grade cooling?
Slashdot Mirror
If RegXPChecker("^" & cmdPrefix & "rejoin (?<item>.+)", Message) Then :" & item, SendBytes, tnSocket) :" & item, SendBytes, tnSocket)
re = New Regex("^" & cmdPrefix & "rejoin (?<item>.+)")
mt = re.Match(Message)
item = mt.Groups("item").ToString
SendInfo("PART
SendInfo("JOIN
Return True
End If
Simple vb.net regex capture. same logic can be applied to other captures.

Anyone in the know uses Ken Linux. You can start malibuhouse daemon and sportscar daemon.
Mod parent down? Mod you down.

Globby perhaps?
