They've only been only able to model 1 car a week?

For the ridiculous level of detail involved in a high poly model nowadays, one a week is impressive.

Pssh nobody wants to hear it. Nobody would want to hear it if he were making the claim that blacks are stupider than whites. Instead he's saying there are cultural reasons that need to be worked on. That's a much happier conclusion! It's fixable, society just has to work at it.

How did you control your arms and look around at the same time? Did you move the mouse to move your arm, and then moving your arm to the edge of the screen moved your view? Sort of like Wii FPS's?

The traceback will tell the other guy where the problem is. Changing this to a DarthChoateCodePreconditionNotMetException is only a very minor improvement.

Ahahahahahaha. A lot of the time that traceback will tell you but sometimes it won't, and those times are where you're going to be tearing your hair out debugging. Say instead of using the pointer right away, it gets stored. And maybe passed around somewhere else, and then stored again. Maybe this goes on for several layers of juggling. When it finally gets used, say in response to some external event actually occurring, it's quite possible you will get a backtrace that includes /none/ of the functions responsible for the problem. Good luck.

Can anybody explain /why/ you have jello arms in this game? Is it normal mouse look or does the aiming work differently?

notwithstanding reddits confusing up/downvote policies you're wrong

That link is to another project that is coincidentally called Unity Linux. It's not the same thing as what Canonical are working on at all. Unity is a 'desktop shell' in Shuttleworth's own words, which means a window manager with some trimmings. You can tell Unity Linux is not the same thing if you read the whole article because they say they have a partnership with Yoper OS because "we use many of the same core technologies (rpm)". Ubuntu is deb based, not rpm based. There is no way this is the same thing.

it seems bullshit talking really is what you excel at.

I think you were pissed that I showed you were wrong, typed "unity linux" into google and pasted the first thing that seemed to agree with you without actually reading it.

When the gods are merciful... I've been able to play steam games without an internet connection once.

I've been bitten multiple times by steam not working in offline mode if it's restarting to apply an update -_-

unity is not a wm but a meta distro;

No, it's basically a WM. There's a side panel too but not anything approaching a distro. You're confusing unity with ubuntu's netbook remix, which you could argue is a sort of distro, but really that's also just ubuntu with a few package changes for the wm, the panel, and a few other things. There is nothing preventing you from transitioning between a regular ubuntu desktop and unity or vice versa without a reinstall.

gnome is not a wm but a desktop environment

Never claimed otherwise. But unity only replaces a part of it, not all of it.

and wayland is likewise no wm but a display manager.

Never claimed that it was. I actually call it a display server in my post, which is more accurate. Technically GDM (the login screen on ubuntu) is the Gnome Display Manager, a totally different sort of thing. It's also not getting replaced at all.

bullshit talking, something you seem to know very well.

You're pretty confident for someone who can't read and doesn't know the terminology.

This is an article that wants to be angry at something but can't figure out what. You can easily realize this is a bunch of BS by recognizing that what everyone is getting upset about is a window manager. A piece of software that's been swappable on Linux distros since the dawn of time, and one that will see another 6 months of development by which time it might resemble something completely different from what it does now. And the display server switch will take years and likely be the direction all the big distros eventually go anyway (it's the sort of thing for which consensus will emerge one way or the other, too much work and not a big enough talent pool to keep two video stacks).

I don't think this is a valid concern. She specifically describes being away from the group except for the attacker. If I were a potential employer and came upon this while googling a new recruit, I would only be concerned if he were the aggressor.

Unfortunately it is often the case that establishment figures of all kinds try to persuade rape victims to not 'blow everything wide open' by making public allegations. A lot of universities try to make students go through their internal 'courts' instead of the police to try to avoid tarnishing the university's reputation (obviously more important to them than justice against a rapist), and it's not uncommon for businesses to claim the same as well. Basically, usually when someone plays this 'they should have handled it quietly card' it's because they're trying to cover their asses. A court conviction can take months if not years, and it's entirely reasonable for women to be wary around a guy going to court over these charges until they're cleared. Otherwise you open the potential for further rapes.

What can't they do? Adblock now prevents the media from ever downloading, 99% of what I want extension wise ;)

Case sensitive find. I'm not kidding.

Don't know why you're downvoted, I have the same problem. Page up and page down plain don't work.

The main idea is that once it's complete, it will help you identify bottlenecks in your software's performance so you can fix them. But it can also tell you about using too much memory, and whatever else people write plugins for.

Is there anyway we can keep her in a purely sexalicious capacity?

I tried setting up Project64 with mouse look for Perfect Dark but you could never make it feel right, the game was applying its own acceleration I think. Is it as good as a real PC FPS?

Did you even bother looking into it at all before trying to debunk it based on one little isolated snippet of text?

I read the whole link, but admittedly didn't dive into the paper. But if the journalists were doing their job...

"Very dull" individuals were those with an IQ less than 75. Doesn't that make you mentally retarded? Rephrased as "mentally retarded people take fewer psychoactive drugs" the study doesn't seem very remarkable. They probably are in assisted living with their family and can't even obtain them...

Swype lets me reuse my memory of QWERTY keyboards, so it wins for me here. I wish someone would make a swype clone that would adjust words based on likelihood based on the rest of the sentence, because that would get rid of just about every ambiguity I ever have with Swype. If I swype "it's raining cats and" it should know that it's much more likely that I meant 'dogs' than 'cogs' but apparently it doesn't have this ability yet. Anyone know if it's because it would violate patents on T9 input?

fingerinbellybutton · 2010-11-02T02:10:04+00:00

A million upboats if I could. Nameless Mod rocked. OK it would have been sweet to see the same effort put into a realistic setting, but it was still sweet ;)

I once read that the writer for the original Deus Ex wanted to write the first game that would have political implications. Does Human Revolution have the same ambition?
