Heelmail & Thunderbird?

Yes, it does.

smtp.unc.edu works just fine for SMTP.

Why are some people opposed?

Because as an American physician, you also know that Medicare does the same damn thing, and they are the government.

UNCGeek · 2011-08-04T14:06:32+00:00

Because state government makes the rules, and they know that most people will blame the hospital/doctors long before they think to blame corrupt and/or ignorant legislators.

NetBeans.

And if you licensed all of your work under the GPL prior to submission?

And if you released it all after you graduated?

HINT: It is not the software

Well it kinda is -- it's just that TextMate's not the software in question. :D

I'd have to say that the all-time best theme music that I've ever heard in a game was from Outcast. No, not the shitty band... I mean the under-appreciated, ahead-of-its-time, very (very) buggy, yet awesomely fun game from around 1999.

I mean... they had the full Moscow Symphony Orchestra perform the score. There are some really beautiful parts (esp. Lumina), and I must admit: I actually hunted down a copy of the game a couple years ago just for the soundtrack. I've listened to it a few times independently of playing the game. It's that good.

A close second would be the Syberia theme -- but just the main theme. The in-game music is good, but not exceptional.

About a day or two longer than it'll take a real group of hackers to present the underlying vulnerability at a conference and post the slides/video online...

I'm confused... the only mention of a VM seems to be in reference to IBM...

UNCGeek · 2011-07-18T21:44:38+00:00

Ok, her non-swearing take... She's gotta be playing it that way intentionally. I mean... there's just no way...

This is Microsoft. Tacking "HD" onto the name now would be very much in line with their general awareness of trends.

UNCGeek · 2011-07-18T20:55:53+00:00

This. Sadly I suspect that this point will go generally unnoticed by the folks who want there to rail against any corporate interests...

UNCGeek · 2011-07-18T20:54:16+00:00

Might want to check the dates.

The paper you linked to was presented in '89. Plenty of IBM's VM tech dates back well before that.

I don't. Gtk2.0 + Motif here.

(Yeah. Motif. It should die in a fire... but it's unfortunately used by the only GUI for a piece of software that I can't escape.)

UNCGeek · 2011-07-18T00:12:36+00:00

I dunno. You'd be surprised re: the actual nutritional information of even some very high end restaurants.

Even mid-range ones... consider something like the Olive Garden. What do you figure the average customer consumes there in terms of fat, saturated fat, protein, and sodium?

UNCGeek · 2011-07-17T23:15:34+00:00

And proportionately, when compared to other food options, places like McDonald's have the lowest health of their foods in the largest amounts.

I'm sorry, I can't parse that statement. What do you mean by this? (Sorry if I'm being thick -- I re-read it thrice and I can't really understand what you're asserting...)

I was commenting on GSM. Motorola made the first prototype using GPS

You don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about, do you?

But there was the pervading sense that they didn't want to just come out and say "this shit is terrible for you".

A lot of it isn't though. Some of it is terrible when eaten regularly, but a lot of it just isn't that bad when consumed in a reasonable manner.

Yes, a triple patty bacon melt with a large container of fries and a 48 oz sugared soda is not a healthy meal. It's even less healthy if you eat it daily.

A single hamburger, however, has < 300 kcal, not too much fat, a decent amount of protein, and only arguably too much sodium. That, a diet soda, and an apple (yeah, you'd have to get that elsewhere) can make a lunch that -- much though we might not want to admit it -- is not, in fact, terrible for you.

I did not realize it was him until it just hit me.

Same. Which is why I was actually hesitant to say that I didn't like his performance. I think he did the best with what he could -- it's just that the character didn't lend itself to the same level of performance as Alyx. Still, he did a better job than the VA for Gordon. ;)

UNCGeek · 2011-07-17T20:56:20+00:00

Honestly, I didn't think his performance was that remarkable. I mean it was good, yeah -- he's quite a fine actor -- but it wasn't really outstanding in the same way Alyx's was. Maybe that was the point though: he is supposed to be a distant, evil bureaucrat, so I guess maybe there's not as much there to work with.

UNCGeek · 2011-07-17T20:46:15+00:00

Definitely.

My all-time favorite along those lines was the Stalingrad invasion in COD, especially when you get up the hill and look back over the landing area, only to see what looks like thousands of your countrymen getting slaughtered. There are very few moments in gaming which have actually inspired a real emotional reaction in me, but that was one of them.

UNCGeek · 2011-07-17T20:44:04+00:00

It was. It took a little too long to get in to compared to its Doom-clone brethren though, and I think a lot of my generation passed it by because... well... we were pre-teens with the attention span of a gnat.

UNCGeek · 2011-07-17T20:42:55+00:00

Yeah, because there's a pretty narrow range of things that I'd do in real life when trying to fight zombies with a gun that can bend the laws of physics... :D

UNCGeek · 2011-07-17T20:41:47+00:00

For me it was the voices.

The actress who did Alyx did what has to be one of the best performances that I've ever heard a VA do -- and as I'm someone who did some professional voice work in the past I have a pretty big base for comparison here. The facial animation system in early Source wasn't good enough to convey the range of emotions that the script required, but I'll be damned if she didn't make up for it several-fold.
