I've always been a Mac user, way back in the days of the Mac Classic. I remember getting excited when we upgraded to System 8. I just upgraded to Leopard and Final Cut Studio 2 last week, and I'd say that if you're not itching to jump on the Time Machine/Spaces bandwagon, hold off until 10.5.1. I've ...

After a four year hiatus, I missed you guys.

It's not exactly a photoshop edit, but Greg Martin does some beautiful stuff from scratch...

That would be an easy enough edit, just two layers of video, one with the lights on and one with the lights off, that you segment into each window/light strand, then fade between the two layers on each segment. But.... i can imagine an edit job taking near as much work to get right as just rigging ...

A dorm-mate of mine is moving and gave me his Radeon X300 128 MB PCI-Express graphics card to sell for $30 plus shipping. Anyone interested? Lemme know. president[at]arasian.com

Dude I think I can see my house in that third pic! Is that Pikes Peak?

Nitrofox125

Yeah the whole thing just reads as staged and fake.

The Bourne Ultimatum, by Robert Ludlum, though I didn't finish it. It was the same stuff over and over again, a story that should have ended on page 150 (or book 2), but apparently Ludlum felt the need to keep going and going and going. So I'm looking to now read Airframe, by Michael Crichton, as I ...

Edit: Sick as hell. I'll brag here and say that I don't have to take core classes, although I did buy textbooks today - used - and they ran me around $130... not too bad, really. DC what year? And a double major seems like a hell of a lot of work. Good combo though, really. Or trailer reversing? I'm ...

Nitrofox125

Yes, I'm officially a college student! wooo.
I just went to my first class, where I learned that we don't have textbooks or tests. It's a good way to start the day, let's hope it stays that way.

Though I've already gotten sick

Nitrofox125

Oh yeah Krom, take 3840x1024! :P Bettina, the 5200 should be absoloutly fine as long as you keep the drivers up to date. I've run Half Life 2, Doom 3, all the good stuff with medium-high quality gfx settings, and it works fine. But yeah, the graphics card isn't the limiting factor here and upgrading ...

Nitrofox125

Wow you're not kidding when you say big pic. That's amazing though.

The fastest I've experienced is about 90 in the middle of a mountain pass, godspeed to everyone trying to leave and good luck to everybody trying to stay.... I would be out of there the day or two before the voluntary evacuations... what's the draw to stay later? I was watching Fox and they had some ...

Nitrofox125

Hahahaha! That's pretty creative, too bad it's too far away to go see.

Before I read the location, i thought you were talking about Bodies in Tampa, FL, which is also a stellar exhibit.

I wouldn't particularly call Bryce crap. I export then render most of my 3D Studio stuff in Bryce because of the atmospheric and landscaping effects it has... It's just a slightly slower rendering system and horrible contraints (which is why i do my modeling in 3d Studio) Anyway http://arasian.com ...

Nitrofox125

They did issue a voluntary evacuation in the last 24 hours.

Best of luck to everone down there.

Nitrofox125

But this time they actually come out and say it....

Apple charges 99 cents to download songs, but two major record companies are pushing for an increase.

Looks like it's back to illegal downloading. As a matter of principle, not prices.

Speaking of which, how's Bill doing?

It uses Jabber, doesn't Trillain already support Jabber? Something I use with iChat/Spotlight practically every day is searching through IMs. I type something into the search box, tell it to use only instant message logs, and it can find something for me in the text. It would be nice to see Google ...

So what it sounds like to me is that the cops busted up a rave because the host didn't have a mass gathering permit (wtf is that all about?) and because raves are *usually* places for drug activity? That's just not right.

Roid, your current avatar reminds me of The Ring (American) or Ringu (Japan). I'm pretty sure it's a drawing representing the movie. Girl crawling out of TV The girl &tc. The origins (artist, etc) of that actual picture, though, I don't know. Mine's actually originally for Scratch (does he still ...

No kidding! Learn something new every day! Nice words.

That was my complaint for a while, but when I went to use a joystick with a twist handle, I found that, actually, I don't use a twist handle that much. So it works out for me. I only found compatibility problems... start Descent, toss a coin to see if the joystick's gonna work today. Isaac, that's a ...

Nitrofox125

Something that I've figured out after trying a few joysticks for 6DOF is that it's not just about how many buttons. Ten buttons can't make up for a properly made joystick/hat/axis, and Descent needs about three or four of those, *and then* some buttons. One really good stick I use is the Gravis ...

Nitrofox125

I dunno LF I kinda like the lots-of-stuff-going on at once kinda thing, a fresh new kinda thing.

Isaac, doin great there. Did you make those models or are they out of a .hog file? Cuz if you made, em, they're pretty darn good. Gawd it's been forever since I've played Descent II. Shame.

Interesting article.

Heh, just took the acid2 test with IE7.... I get a huge block of red. Yay.

Nitrofox125

I love it, at least a lot more than IE 6. Mobi, this is where you come in. Everything that I coded for Firefox and said "screw it" for IE users and it didn't work now works in IE7. It has major CSS compatibility improvements, it accurately renders semi-transparent PNG's, and it FINALLY introduces ...

I was reading an article about this in Wired. It said the idea is good so far, but it takes so much energy that the Humvee has to stop to be able to fire it. Unless perhaps this is a new version? The article I was reading was about two weeks old, a really good read though.

Somebody chuck a rock in the direction of Mobi's house

I dunno, I think I'd be willing to sacrifice my roof in exchange for a meteorite landing in my house.

Alright, everybody share one (or more) tips that you've learned to help you live your life better. For example, how to avoid getting points on your license from the speeding ticket! Anyway, here's something I learned back in the days of the Boy Scouts: -Eat a small Hershey's bar before you go to ...

It depends on what I'm writing. If it's an E-mail, IM, stuff like that, I use double spaces. If it's an advertisement or tagline, I use single spaces. Not because it uses up less characters, but because it's a little easier to skim through quickly and keep flow. At least that's what I've always ...

Can you just set the 'really long name' to be the 'IP address' in the hosts file and use that? Or, set something up in ~/.login or ~/.profile (dunno which it is for your version) that sets your short name to the long name for you as a variable, kinda like path? (I don't know if that's possible, just ...

Awesomely done tattoo, but I certainly wouldn't get that on *my* arm.

I've met girls at my school through MySpace. Going on a date with one next Monday, as a matter of fact. Go MySpace. Nobody else around here has gotten their .edu E-mail addresses yet, so it's pretty much just me and one other of my friends on The Face Book right now, but I've already met people at ...
