A Reversi game would be quite trivial to implement in HTML/Javascript, and would run very nicely on all of the mentioned platforms. If you want Flashy effects, use HTML5 which is supported on all non IE browsers, including the ones included on the mentioned mobile devices.
"Interestingly, the title of the game has less to do with bullying and more to do with a play on the name of the school. Bully essentially puts players in the role of a likeable young hero, not quite as Machiavellian as the characters that players have taken control of in GTA titles."
If I were in control of a movie studio, I would be very carefull about releasing titles of that caliber too early. I hope they wait until they have a solid control of the technology so we don't get some shitty rushed release of the best movies.
Have you tried out Googles Picasa photo editor, which is extremely slick (though only free beer).
If you have a an up-to-date version of KOffice installed, you could also try out the Krita drawing/image manipulation program, which is a lot more user friendly than the Gimp.
Maybe the whole kernel will never go GPL3, since every contributor can never be tracked down and asked.
But does that really matter? Is it not enough that a few key parts are re-licensed under GPL3 (which I think can happily co-exist with GPL2), this would then make it impossible for sneaky companies to take the kernel and trap it in DRM, since it would be partly GPL3. If enough bits in the kernel are GPL3, then it will be too much trouble for the companies to replace them.
If have seen them lots of places here in denmark, they seem to work perfectly well - though I have seen one or two occurrences where that oily substance has entered the urinal.
Nice to know that it was not someone with a terrible disease that stood there.
Just force everyone to masturbate twice a day - that will help control everybodys sexdrive. Is that not the way every lonely guy keeps insanity at bay?
How wonderfull the world would be if his behaviour and attitude was the default among rich people - using his money with a vision to improve the world, instead of getting 8 sportcars and a larger penis.
If you have problems with shitty teachers(I have had my share in my CS study), just don't attend class everytime- it will only get you frustrated. Instead, organize a student group of 3-4 people, meet up and discuss and work on the problems give for each week. You must of course still read all the material thouroughly to be ready for the meeting with your group. Then take turns going to class, just to be sure nothing terribly important slips by you.
Other tips:
- seek alternative material to get other perspectives on the problem.
- use your TA.
- don't be afraid to ask some of the students you know to be clever.
Seems like some people here are looking for the projects the did - don't you think you are confusing this with googles 'summer of code' projects? Or am I confused?

If you split your problem up in 7 subproblems, and they now all of a sudden fit in cache - you are gonna see a tremendous speedup versus a 7 times faster processor where the problem does not fit in cache.
It will be interesting to see how this impact other systems basing themselves on the PPC architecture - the 'reborn' Amiga and MorphOS systems spring to mind.
I think this will finally kill of the PPC as a general desktop processor. With no major OS pushing it forward, all alternative platforms hoping for a major breakthrough should probably attempt to get off the architecture if they want to survive.
Incredible how the x86 is becoming the defacto desktop CPU, there is just no way around it anymore:/
I was about in the middle of the presentation (which is very good, I might add), when it suddenly just stopped streaming. After waiting for a short while, I decided to go check slashdot while it worked it self out - then I see this. Argh!
Anyone remember how Sony was eager to push the PS2 as being a computer in Europe, to get some kind of tax advange? They even went so far as to bundle a BASIC interprenter (YABASIC) to let it be programmed by anyone. Maybe they are just getting ready to pull the same stunt again.
And I would love them to include a small language again, preferably Python with SDL bindings - thank you:)
In the old Amiga and Commodore64 days, spilling stuff in your keyboard was a lot more serious than it is these days (laptops excluded). Pouring stuff down your keyboard was basically the same as pouring it diretly unto your motherboard - it was especially problematic on your Amiga since most people had removed different forms of shielding to get room for a 3.5" harddrive.
Anyway, the worst substance in my experience is beer - have lost two PC keyboards to that stuff.

I usually google for the wikipedia entry. ie, search strings like: wikipedia hamster sex

Sounds like an interesting game.
They need to get this integrated before http://www.koffice.org/krita/ runs them over :)

No other game I have played has been so serious about emotions.

Could probably also turn that ring of his into a stack load of cash.

It has worked great for me many times.

Thats not a fact by a far cry. Never heard of superlinear speedup?l inear/Superlinear.html

Oh, well - it'll be fine again tommorrow :)
