I hereby theorize that cramming peanuts into your arsehole will cause levitation.
There, now that I've officially theorized this, I can say, "In theory, cramming peanuts into your arsehole will cause levitation." and it's perfectly true.
Computer-assisted stereotactic neurosurgery has been around for a long time. The software takes MRI slices and uses a marching-cubes-type algorithm to convert from texels to voxels. I don't see how this software is anything new really, other than maybe using some other kind of input image.
They may have lost their convictions, but at least they are out-ed in their communities. Hopefully they will all be humiliated enough to kill themselves like this other guy. Mod me flamebait, call me insensitive, but I just don't care if predators off themselves, and I don't give the slighest fuck about their families either. Their family's suffering means one less pervert to put my kids in jeopardy, and my family comes first for me. Period.
To me, none of those things are the hallmark of a good operating system. MS has coded some nice things into their OS on a higher level, but the underlying OS itself is terrible. OpenGL doesn't make an OS. Remote desktop doesn't make an OS. Good APIs, good scheduling, good timesharing, good fault tolerance, good response, good hardware support (ok, Windows has this at least), good networking, good filesystem, good caching strategy, etc... THOSE are the things that make an OS good. Windows might be a good windowing system, but IMO it's a terrible OS because it fails to provide the basics at a really good quality level, with really good performance.

That's weird, I drive an SUV specifically to increase greenhouse gasses so the atmosphere will have the required 35% CO2 level required for when my alien compatriots arrive from Onos to join me in our feast of the fat plump humans.
I've never played a FPS with a truly compelling story. Every FPS story feels totally contrived, like they were written by 12-year olds. It could be that there is a disconnect between what the writers have written and how that is implemented as the game itself, so maybe the stories are good and it's just bad execution. In any event, in my experience nobody has come very close to delivering a good compelling FPS story.
wrap that in a partial-specialization template functor that correctly checks that you won't be killed by sign-promotion when you compare int and unsigned long long. strncpy(), not strcpy()! -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage! Valgrind!
This is whole point of people texting "u" instead of "you". Instant 3:1 compression ratio. I could certainly hit the "u" button faster than any 93-year old morse coder could hit "..-" The only problem with texting is it's not streaming, you have to hit "send", whereas morse code streams.
This analogy has always bothered me. How can extra spatial dimensions exist at different scales? Dimensions are a result of the shape of space. For instance we have our 4D space (x, y, z, time) but that describes the dimensions at all scale levels. How can you have dimensions that are only apparent to objects of some fixed scale or size? How can the shape of space have little curls that only affect particles, but nothing else?
It's possible to publish a game without Sony's approval. Junk TV for instance is not approved by Sony. But this limits your manufacturing options and probably distribution. Nintendo on the other hand, since they control all manufacturing I don't think there is any way to sneak around their approval process. And since Xbox titles need to be digitally signed by Microsoft, even though they use a standard media and format, I'm not sure you can evade their approval process either. But I think Take Two could get Manhunt 2 out on PS2 as an unapproved title.

I know! What a bunch of malarky. Everyone knows that North America equals humanity, not Western Europe. Duh!
That's easy. Just leave wet towels on the floor and fart a lot.

On the contrary. If they win their lawsuit, then Sony will have done irreparable monetary benefit to the company ;)
Why should we (gamers and game creators) care what Roger Ebert says?
Because lots of people respect him and their opinions can be swayed by his comments.

This sounds extremely anti-competitive to me

Yeah, they actually work great.... at annoying me

Whoa there, cowboy. Them's fightin' words.
I predict that in 10 years Sony will unveil its new proprietary Mini Betamax UMD format, and we can add that to the list as well.

Maybe that's why the entwives left
Are almost as accurate as those of scienticians
What do iPods have to do with P2P?
I have friends, you just can't see or hear them.
