I haven't personally to come across a Mobo that doesn't respond to some sort of keypress to jump you into the UEFI while it's going through post. I think fastboot allows it to skip a few checks, but a well timed F2 will probably still get you to where you want to be. That said, this screenshot ...

For my laptop I'm currently using one of the images someone posted here of the 2017 eclipse. (Sorry, I can't remember who took the photo)

I'm a big fan of Syrians 2013 album, particularly this track:

And recently rediscovered some Simon and Garfunkel with an epic music twist:

What's the BBtag for video on this forum?

Anyone have any suggestions for a linux IRC client? Or should I just keep the web interface for the IRC networks I use?

sdfgeoff

Well I've just created the git repo and set it up so I can put stuff on that domain. The hard part now is creating content. I'm happy to format it/put it online, but I do not know all the magic/have all the images that you guys will want. So if you want to add content to the site, let me know. You ...

I recently bought the domain www.6dof.space where I intend to put up information about the various 6D)F games that have come out over the past few decades. It will likely be a static site hosted at gitlab, possibly using a client-side style markup such as my homepage or using a static site generator ...

Don't you think this advert for the HTC vive looks like a descent ship?

sdfgeoff

Howdy guys. I've just got a new PC, and am dual booting it (windows 10 and arch linux).
However, seeing as I've never spent much time with micro$oft, I'm rather behind times on antivirus products.

Any suggested software? Or can I just ignore it entirely?

sdfgeoff

Aww. You're something like 50 times faster.

My experience has been: cheap routers are cheap routers. I've tried various ones picked up from various places, and invariably they've had to be reset every couple of weeks.

A little investigation shows there is a (1.2) version of pyromania here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/4829505/Pyromania_1_2_Full And a newer version (1.5) here: http://sectorgame.com/d3/downloads/?nav=display&file=68 I don't currenlty have D3 installed, so I haven't tested them. Last time I played ...

Have a read of this thread (I've linked you to the end): http://descentbb.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15526&start=240 From memory, building the adapter is fairly well documented somewhere. Originally only the arduino teensy was suitable, but there is now a whole range of 32U4 arduino's from china that ...

I liked the carrot picker.

I think the snowflake was laser cut from the block of metal, and it's simply friction/air-pressure.
Or it may be made via laser sintering (3d printing metal). I'm not quite sure.

I have established that the problem is in fact due to an issue between 'data' and 'the thing being developed.' Including 100mb 3D scans that are processed/displayed by the simulator is not correct. They are data and should not change/have versions. I should separate out all the data from the program ...

@woodchip
Because we are 6DOF fans who generally like:
- science fiction
- technology
- Computers
- spaceships
- space (I'm in space?)

This is the DescentBB, what do you expect?

I prefer the direction this is going to where D:U has gone.

Well I'll throw some money at them in a week or two. The concept art of the level has already made itself to my desktop background on my personal machine.... I like that they are keeping the distorted cube geometry. I think it's a fascinating idea and allows many people to make levels. So long as ...

What do people use? Currenlty I'm using git, but some of the files I work with are large binary files (up to 70mb) and the project is taking up several gigabytes of space. I'm thinking of moving to SVN so that I only have the working copy available locally. As a result when I want to have someone ...

Yes opinions are derived from incomplete information and (sometimes) incomplete analysis, but they fill a gap where information cannot be accurately determined. If you ask a computer "What music should I listen to" it will suggest a combination of what you have previously listened to and enjoyed ...

sdfgeoff

There is a big difference between opinions and errors. I may want an opinion but I can't think of a single case where I'd want an error. Why would you want an opinion: - Sometimes there are no correct answers (eg is option A better than option B when both will fulfill the requirements?) - Sometimes ...

I came up with a theorem a couple weeks ago: Sentience is a matter of opinion I also see it as a bit of a pun. The idea is that if an entity has it's own ideas on some topic then it is sentient. This can be expanded to: "If an AI can present an original reasoned argument why you shouldn't turn it ...

On my work PC, (which it is feasable other people may have to use at some point) I have: back.jpg I generated it in Gimp using the flame tool.

I hate to think of the power to weight ratio of that. It seems to go from maybe 35kph to a dead stop in about 2m. That's about 20G. I'm amazed those props are holding together. A friend of mine developing high-speed drones says he's having issues because his props are snapping due to centrifgal ...

I use a tiling window manager, so I rarely see the background. For a while I used manyrovers But found it too distracting when changing windows/workspaces (however it did work really well on multi-head setups. So now I just use: simple.jpg Which is a sunrise over a planet, but leaves it up to the ...

Well, it's static but refreshes the time each time the page is reloaded. Good enough I guess....

I ran with this one for ages:

But am currently using one that I drew:

It's quite browser dependant. Firefox has you having a non-invasive one. On Chrome it extends quite far.

Isaac, did you change your signature recently? Previously it just had a little vertical weirdness. Now it looks like this: isaac.jpg It's splattering it's way across your post, and if your post is short: the person above yours. --- edit --- Hmm, closing and re-opening the browser fixed it. Must have ...

Don't you mean it'll tie it in knots?

And don't tell Isaac, but I'm just about finished designing and ready to start building this:

In Christchurch we had a 6.3 and 7.4 - and our house has concrete roof tiles. All over the city, chimneys fell down and crashed through roofs. Some concrete tiles slid down, but to my knowledge, never fell through ceilings. Some fell to the ground and cracked, others just got stuck in the gutter ...

@sirus: I'm not talking about normal 4dness. This is normal 4d-ness: 4d.jpg The shaded area contains two tunnels, but as a pilot you only ever see/fly through one of them. This is teleportation: tele.jpg Where physically disjoint sections can be flown from one into the other. To my knowledge this ...

It will either be never, or work in single player, or always work.

4D geometry can be glitchy. The rendering engine renders a certain number of cubes in all directions from the cube you're currently in, unless it comes across a non-transparent wall. So if you have overlapping geomtery with a really close entrance, you can sometimes see (and occasionally get stuck ...

sdfgeoff

The most common 'teleport' is simply intersecting rooms. Take a look at pentacircle: flying around gives you a whole bunch of different, but similarly stacked areas. Other's, such have duality, appear to have two identical but overlapped maps. Then there's the more recent antbend, which takes a ...

I like that!!!

You know you can probably ignore a thread when you see this:

It will be a mile off topic by the third post.
