It seems like you two have been fighting for quite a while now and I was curious how it started, how long it has been going on, and, as a follow up, what did you think of his bit at your Comedy Central roast?

Does this mean the back of Crazy Dave's car just became a gateway for DLC?

Except that it showed nothing. All I saw was a slider running Android with a d-pad and buttons where the keyboard should be. There wasn't even an analog pad.

Listen, I don't want to be a pessimist but until video footage surfaces that had some form of gaming content, I wouldn't get too excited yet. The really pessimistic side of me wonders if someone didn't dummy up an Android app and called it "Playstation". I'll ignore that little voice for the time being though.

The nerd in me would like you to keep that plate of crow warm. The concept looks cool (except they better have some form of analog control) so now show me the substance to seal the deal.

Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

Yup, just a joke. Honestly, I had never heard of it as an urban legend. I just figured there are cows all over the place out here so it would be funny.

It strikes me as one hell of a coincidence that this article comes up shortly after Nebraska experienced a 3.3 magnitude earthquake last week (11/18/10). More information can be found here. The cows were producing curdled milk for days...

As an aside, why was this article tagged with "globalwarming"?

...and slow! I was there when VRML was landing (just finished high school) and all I saw it used for were virtual rooms were avatars would talk in a 3D IRC like environment. Only big problem back then was we didn't have 3D acceleration and the interface was clunky and painfully slideshow like in speed.

As for uses, I could think of a few and have already started coding them. Instead of loading a PNG or GIF, it is pretty nice to be able to download a float array, be able to display it, and allow a user to interrogate it. Giving a user that kind of capability in the browser while not requiring them to download an application or a browser plugin is pretty darn nice. And while not mainstream, scientific fields could greatly benefit from something like that.

Even more confusing, is this meant to compliment WebGL or replace it? While I think it would be neat-o to have real-time ray tracing in the browser, the WebGL working group consists of some big names like Apple, Google, and Mozilla.

I'll have to dig out my old game disk since I bought it from a brick and mortar store and see what's different. Let me see if I can find out.

I had the same problem if I started the game from a shortcut I created to the executable. If I used the launcher from the game disk, all the UI references to the console controls went away.

With respect to the port, I played it on both the PC and the PS3 and enjoyed the PC version since the graphics were very crisp compared to the console and I like the mouse/keyboard combo.

Now which flavor of jellybean turned it into a ladder and which one turned it into a bridge?

Climate change here on Earth is so bad, we are affecting the climate on other planets. That and ManBearPig is involved somehow. Thank you.

I agree and thought it was pretty obvious as to why he didn't wear clothes. By the time I had to explain it to the third person, though, I began to understand the argument that the comic would not translate well into a movie.

*sigh* Tell me about it. That comment was an unwanted window into her soul...

I had not seen it until this last Tuesday. Before that, I had talked to eight different people and only one person recommended it. Everyone else said it was pretty bad. Around here (central part of the US), it was Dr. Manhattan's package that those seven people were turned off by (my sister said it was like watching porn) and not the violence, which this being the US, I shouldn't be too surprised by. Having read the comic, I knew what to expect and thought the movie wasn't bad. It was way too long, though, and I enjoyed the ending of the comic more so than how they ended the movie. All that said, never underestimate how much word of mouth can kill a movie.
