This is certainly ironic.

You might try lowering the reflectivity value on some of your textures with tablefile overrides. What *could* be happening is that the light is bouncing off the floor, bouncing again off the bottom of the X, then striking the floor where you want the shadow to be thus making it less distinct. In ...

Create a batch file that calls vcvars32.bat then runs the d3 executable. REM Sample using VC++ compiler and my paths... call "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC93\bin\vcvars32.bat" start "D:\d3edit\d3editbeta.exe" Then use a shortcut to that batch file to launch d3edit. Much easier than ...

You *will* need more space than you think so buy at least a mini if not the full iPod instead of the shuffle.

Then toss the so-so apple earphones and upgrade to a pair of these.

Frankly I would love to see Moore's work IF he did a movie about himself using the same approach - I would roll out of my seat. Well, there is a new movie about Michael Moore just coming out. It (obviously) wasn't made by Michael Moore but it's style is based on Roger And Me. The trailers are great ...

Um Ford, you need to scroll down past the top of the page. The actual evidence is right on the page I linked. The PDF summary is just that, a summary. Here is the supporting evidence since you couldn't be bothered: The film shows CBS and CNN calling Florida for Al Gore. According to the narrator ...

You should move into center city Philly then. Totally different from what you'll find in the surrounding 'burbs. No need to go all the way down to Richmond except that people there are probably far friendlier.

OK, I see your point. I interpreted your "This is just wrong" and "both sides are just playing with numbers" to refer to Kopel's refutation rather than to the arguments outlined in the newspaper study he referenced. (I may disagree with your assertions on the validity of the studies as well but that ...

I am not arguing that margins of error aren't real concepts and I fully agree that we're talking apples and oranges here. The problem is that Moore, Koppel, and I are all talking about apples any you're the one throwing the oranges into the mix. In particular, this list factually refutes a SPECIFIC ...

Goob: I don't believe the list talks about the margin of error. My statement about it being irrelevant to the point made by the list is totally my own. That item talks about Bush winning under ACTUAL recount scenarios. Maybe Gore could have won in some THEORETICAL recount scenario that took the ...

I hate to cross post from the other Moore thread, but the summary Iceman posted doesn't do this list justice. Here is the full list of 59 deceits with supporting information and context. In some cases there are even links to responses from Moore's "war room". Goob: The full list answers many of the ...

Goob: Try reading the long HTML version rather than the pdf summary that Ice posted in the other thread. Your point about the margin of error is irrelevant to Koppel's argument, as are all but one of the "studies" that gave Gore the victory. Ice: Goob's post shows exactly why I posted the long ...

OK, here are 59 specific examples.

I have a version of this I was working on for someone way back before KegD3 was released. It uses an invisible powerup object to cast dynamic light from each flasher in turn so that they act like true lights. I thought it worked pretty well - did you ever see it? If you combined the dynamic lights ...

I know the answer. I thought this was a guessing game, so it would be like cheating if I answer.

Nope.

The idea that the US has banned stem cell research is a myth. There are more shipments of stem cells available from the funding-qualified stem lines than researchers appear to need or want. Further, if that isn't enough for some researchers there is nothing preventing research using private or state ...

And in case you are the "I don't trust anything from FOX" type, here is an interesting article from Reason (no friend of Ashcroft). The article is mostly an attack on Kerry's civil liberties record, however it uses Ashcroft as a counter-example. Should be pretty educational for those that "think ...

Yeah, I agree stupid Republicans. This is a perfect illustration of the first half of Jane's Law (the Democrats meanwhile have been busy proving the second half true, but thats beside the point). However, the filibuster rules (which are NOT enshrined in the Constitution - they are an outgrowth of ...

Actually, I kind of like it. My pathetic attempts all incorporated an arrow theme but this is much much better. Unfortunately my crappy-a$$ icon editor loses so much resolution that the cool 3d effects are lost. Still seeing what I can do with it though.

You're welcome. A couple things in response to some of your points though. - I am not attempting to show there is no God. I don't actually believe it is possible to prove or disprove his existance either way. I just want to point out that science is not easilly dismissed even when it leads to ...

I finally got the pre-download tool I mentioned in this thread far enough along that I'm comfortable releasing a beta.

It's possible (see Instareap for example). I forget how it was done though.

"Research" is a very loose term for what Chomsky does. He is an ideologue who starts from a pre-ordained conclusion and meticulously filters out any inconvenient facts that don't support that conclusion. My favorite example is how his research managed to let him deny the massacres perpetrated by the ...

Yep, things are looking just great for press freedom in over in EUtopia... The European Court has quietly brushed aside 50 years of international case law in a landmark judgment on press freedom, ruling that Brussels does not have to comply with European human rights codes. In a judgment with ...

Hey Bill. Not much up here. I made a level though - I'm sure you'll love it :roll:. How're things in the NW? BTW, your point about the confusion caused by tool multiplication is spot on (witness how I managed to miss vortex while stumbling around trying to figure out to play D3 online now that PXO ...

D'oh! That's what I get for being away from the community for so long - I wasn't even aware of Vortex. I was kind of wondering whether someone was going to show up and tell me I've been duplicating something that already exists. Looks very nice though - I think I'll be switching over from Kquery.

This is a great short essay on the BS being pulled in this election. An excerpt follows. Yes it's an opinion piece & yes the guy who wrote it is voting for Bush but read the whole thing anyway.

So I built a level :) It's a small (about half the size of Damage) Anarchy/Hoard level named Forge thats designed for 2 to 4 players. This is my first level that's really small enough for a fast 1 on 1 match. The weapons load may be a *tad* on the heavy side for such a small level though so I'd ...

The table file (.gam) is for the whole mission, not for each level in the mission. Your .gam file must be named exactly the same as the .mn3 file otherwise D3 won't load it (i.e. mission.gam, not level1.gam, level2.gam, etc). For an example, look at Vander's Revenge which has two levels and uses ...

Some of it has to do with the fact that *all* countries act out of what they see as their own self interest and sometimes, rightly or wrongly, that conflicts with American foreign policy (France). Some of it has to do with having lived under America's protection for so long that you no longer ...
