And there's the root of the problem, and the major reason people dislike Americans: By and large they're clueless as to what actually goes on in the world, and <snip>.
Just to clarify- we're talking about Brazillian and Canadian "Americans" here, right?
Not only is the article bullshit, but Ground Zero, ...my how I am restraining myself from saying what I want to... It was kinda disturbing hearing you say this crap when you lived in the Netherlands. I don't take kindly to anyone spewing this offensive drivel. We certainly don't take kindly to forei...
what I mean is that what they were seeing had no relation to String Theory, other than that the visual manifestations on the wall of what they were doing looked 'string'-like. I may very well be wrong, but what they were doing was actually related to interference patterns, right? I might not have u...

It's no worse then regular trees... But aye, they're definitely no longer 'special' - I think that is more of a compliment to smoth then a criticism tho.
Wow I don't think I've ever read an 'article' that was more directly a PR release in my life, heh. The important thing I got from it was Microsoft will not release DirectX 10 for Windows XP IOTW this whole thing is intended to try to blackmail people into upgrading- something that large segments of ...
If PC wasn't there: PS3 has the extreme high tech uberthreading Cell processor, which is going to rule for quite some time. So why are people voting nintendo? I can think of 3 reasons: 1)Focus on gameplay 2)Some people have too much self respect to support sleazy, customer hating, companies like So...
Found an interesting blurb... but to be honest this doesn't explain the problem. Network Status Last Update Time: 3/23/06 06:00 am EST There was a problem with a DDOS against ns3 which only lasted 45 minutes, but the ISP null routed (i.e. blocked) not just ns3, but all of the servers we have on thei...
What you are describing is so utterly not what others experience.... It's so far out there that I'm at a loss. Could you perhaps take a screen capture of it, and tell us a bit about your system? Edit: For giggles I just went and tried 640x480 (lowest dropdown option)... It sure is ugly, and text is ...
Forgot to ask... Can mapconv accept RAW files? If so, that would make my life much easier. I've never tried it but yes it should accept 16bit RAW for the heightmap. Edit: It should also support 24bpp RAW for the texture and metal maps... The advantage for these files is rather non-obvious to me tho...
How much would it take to implement a 32bit greyscale heightmap? The heightmap itself has 16 bits of resolution, and mapconv will accept a 16bit raw format heightmap... I really doubt we're going to be needing more than 65,536 distinct levels. The challenge is getting a 16bit raw heightmap. [Maybe ...
<sarcasm>Just remember to reinstall XP from scratch every few days to keep malware at a minimum... </sarcasm> I think you're probably better of not hosting. I'd say follow aw13s step 1, then look for 'Port Forwarding' and attempt to forward with the following settings: Port 8452 (or 8452 to 8452 if ...
A spate of "No Sync Response from <user>" followed by delayed sync's means that the player is lagging behind and you are getting sync's way after they were expected. In my experience if someone is lagging out and you continue to play they will become so far out that they just desync for go...
