In the case of RE4,I totally agree. I got a cube late to the party and was disappointed at some of the games' graphics, but then I played RE4 and I thought, holy shit, why can't other devs do this? Was it all ninty's fault?
If it was, for shame!
I was using bob as I've seen others done to prevent targeting by the ***** of ***********. I was ignorant of the Cult of Subgenius until you made me google it, so that's what I don't know about.
What I do know is "YOU BLEW MY COVER!"
In which case, I'll "see you at the party Richter!".
You can say that, but I still have the odd conversation with someone who doesn't know what the church of bob does/is accused of doing. Also, I've heard of anon on BBC news on TV so it's not like they haven't exposed anything.
Speaking as a UK resident, I'm not fully qualified to scrutinise this situation, however, if it's the case that state/federal business may not use non-state/non-federal email servers, then the fact that she emailed state/federal email addresses from a personal account is at best fishy, and at worst actually breaking the law.
Outsider's perspective of course, but there it is.
Nice try, but I don't buy it.
The reasons why creationism is not science apply equally to each of the "thousand different other creation myths" for a start.
Plus, since this is the UK we're talking about, and I happen to have gone to school in the UK, I can say that even at the Roman Catholic high school that I attended, barely anyone (can't think of one to be honest) in my year gave a shred of credence to creationism.
I'm not religious at all, but R.E. was one of my favourite classes, and we discussed many aspects of many faiths.
Probably only liked it so much because the teacher was kick ass cool, but hey.
Which still doesn't answer the question "why did the man quit?".
It's glaringly obvious he was misquoted, and the (shudder) truth will out, so why on earth would he forsake his organisation by ducking out? It makes no sense.
Media circus is as media circus does. That doesn't mean that when you're *right* as this guy was, you should pander to the feckers who say you're wrong.
GRAAAAARGH
ME ANGRY!
Well, in any event, I've sent an email to the only account on the contact page that seemed anywhere near worth talking to, expressing my disgust at their acceptance of the resignation.
I don't feel like my work is anywhere near done but I did mention that the email address completemediacircusandinjusthanging@royalsociety.org probably wasn't registered.
This is some seriously bad shit.
Why the hell did he quit? He was misquoted, taken out of context and made an example of... What in the shitting hell did he say to make this happen? I've read the articles and he has his head screwed on straight so for crying out loud, why hasn't this man been supported?
ARGH!
Do we have to deal with athiest fundies now?
Yeesh!
Well, when your talking about music mono e mono could well be mono (one mono copy on a disc) and e-mono (one mono copy streamed over the web) which aside from not being stereo, would be super:)
Am I the only spod in the universe that for ages has thought that radio sucks ass anyhow?
Seriously, the only thing I've chosen to listen to on the radio was the Mark and Lard show on Radio 1 when I was about 14.
Picture this proposal:
"How about you flip on your radio and we'll play you music that you may or may not like, followed by advertisements, bullshit interviews, more advertisements, and more music that you may or may not like. How's that?"
Compared to:
"Fire up your MP3 player/ocremix.org/shoutcast/last.fm/google with "index of" "parent directory" thingiwannalistento.mp3/whatever else and you can hear whatever YOU WANT TO HEAR ad free, bullshit free etc."
The very definition of a no brainer.
I understand that the last one of my suggestions in the second proposal is effectively illegal since no money ends up in the relavent shitface's pocket, but still, how hard is that question to answer?
Jesus, even before the internet I didn't listen to radio music because I had no control over it.
Why should I?
This is why I only drink from metal cans.
Sure the boss gets uppity when I'm on my 8th Strongbow before lunch but I say, "HEY! Don't you know plastic bottles of water could give me HEART DISEASE!??!".
I'm not so sure. The way I see it is more like a brainstorming session. The original crew decide which idea gets run with. When I said you could vote, i guess I meant *you* personally could decide. I just wanna get over this "no-one can think like lucasarts used to" stuff. Surely the sense of humour that those games had can be replicated by the world at large. Wanna see some Monkey Island style fun in the world again. Bah.
Tried to post this about 20 times last night but was very drunk. Anyhow...
I was wondering why there are no modern day monkey island 1 or 2 games. Rightly or wrongly I thought that there isn't a team who can write it the way it needs to be done to be enjoyable like those games were.
Then I thought, why not start a project in a decent adventure game suite and then shunt it out to the community. You could vote/moderate opinions on the next 10 minutes/x encounters (which is funniest/ most original/entertaining etc) and then lather rinse repeat until you have an epic story for an adventure game, with most of the art/anim/sound ready for production.
Could that be done collaboratively? I'd love it if it could.
Who's up for trying?
MMO != Adventure Game
The kicks you get from good storytelling in an adventure game are very different indeed from those acquired while devising a backstory for your MMO character.
I love EVE and I love devising backstory for my character, but when you find the treasure of Big Whoop, all bets are off;)
Ach.
I just hopped over to FutureMark's website and in the community section there's a list of "Most Popular Processors in 3DMark Vantage (Last 7 Days)"
Could be a coincidence but at the moment, they're all Intel.
The LSL developer team recently put out a survey to find out what users think they should work on once they've got Mono properly integrated. One of the suggestions was the ability to write and use libraries.
Now, I'm not saying they'll actually do it, but it is possible.
T'would be teh awesome too.
Also, bear in mind that the iteration of LSL that exists today is effectively the same one that was written in a weekend and polished up over a couple of weeks. LL are aware that it's shite and are actively seeking to re-write/improve it.
Slashdot Mirror
I was working from the standpoint of never having heard of a religion of bob, and having read these two comments among others.
Yep, as are a lot of systems.
I wish I knew what this fundamental way was and was able to sell a fix at a price governments would pay.

Holy shit! When is this getting released!?
I'd play this!
Bad, bad, bad.
Have you *seen* her pic on wikipedia??!!?!!
Ahem... *cough cough* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
Sorry, I'm from the UK and given our recent data security issues, you made me LOL.

I'd never heard of Foxconn before.
I guess any publicity is good publicity though.
