Watching the video now, it appears to be "dump ALL the radio signals to disk, for later analysis", so you can then use software to pick out audio / text / morse code / etc signals

New project idea: compiler written in postscript that renders the binary :-O

To be fair, the summary says it officially doesn't get support, which to me brings images of the CEO phoning up some newspapers and saying "We don't support open source work. That is all, *click*"...

Nope; 7/8/9 had 3D elements (eg the character models, and battles), but the bulk of the explorable world was made of unique 2D backgrounds - 6 and earlier were repetitive 2D sprites, 10 and later are repetitive 3D textures. Though come to think of it, replacing the low-res 3D character models with nice 2D sprites would be an improvement too...

Personally I don't want "PS3 graphics" if that means looking like the modern games -- the whole reason I think FF 7/8/9 are so beautiful is that the worlds are largely hand-drawn 2D; all I really want changed in a remake is to have those same drawings re-scanned at a higher res :-P

True, current google is more up to date than a 2010 OSM dump. But current OSM is more up to date than a 2010 google dump. Not sure how that makes either better than the other...

My hobby is adding the locations of trash cans to openstreetmap, because everything larger or more significant is already on there...

Because "Everyone knows that X is true" and "X is true" are loosely correlated at best.

Apparently this is the newer wolfenstein games; I wanted to see what 8 GPUs worth of fancy effects could do to the original pre-Doom Wolfenstein :(

If you don't like Unity, great. Don't use it.

Other window managers are about 5 seconds away via apt-get. Switching away from a generally solid distro because you don't know how to change one of the default settings is really dumb.

TBH I don't have much experience buying DVDs; the only ones I've looked for recently have been the Invader Zim boxed set - Amazon has it for ~£250 (~$400) imported, and I've never even seen a copy in the UK :-|

I'd still rather pay 10c for a fast and simple criminal service that treats me with respect than pay $20 for a legitimate fiddly DVD that treats me like a criminal... (also this)

From my own site, doing 1500 hits/sec:

# python ps_mem.py | grep -E "nginx|php"
16.4 MiB + 1.2 MiB = 17.6 MiB nginx (9)
186.4 MiB + 14.7 MiB = 201.1 MiB php5-fpm (44)

For a site hosted on a VM, a 2GB setup would be 8x as expensive as a 256MB setup :-P (I presume we're both hosted on bare metal now, so my setup simply leaves more space for cache; but nginx's slimness did allow me to to stay on a cheap VM until recently)

If you're already an apache expert and an nginx noob, then sure, stick with what you know; but I found nginx only took a couple of days to grok, and now that I know both, nginx is faster and easier to administer

Step 1: Create rules that are easy to work around
Step 2: Nobody complains, because workarounds are easy
Step 3: Because everybody accepts the rules, they get turned into laws. You are now a criminal, and anyone who doesn't like you can have you arrested :P
