Thats silly, how would a ball image the table surface? They have no sensing capabilities at all...
Actually some balls are quite sensitive and can easily detect being dragged over a surface.
^W instead of ^h?
Tries it out... delete's whole word at once... Yeah! Thank you man!
I don't know if they are doing it like this any more, but all storm8 apps are the same game with different graphics.
1. Connect to storm8 server and send your phone number + imei
2. Server returns a session id you can use for processing your commands
3. basic http queries control the app
This is why when the games first came out you couldn't move your account from one device to another, they used the device id as your user id. They have since implemented portable username but by default they still send all your shit across the network. You can snoop packets and see the phone number of every user that plays on your network.
I wrote a lot of bots for all the games. I haven't played in a few months... Setup an http proxy in your iPhone network settings and all this is very obvious.
I mean shit, there's a lot of trust involved in working for two weeks with the understanding that there will be a paycheck on payday!
That's actually an interesting point. I have a salaried job where I am paid monthly IN ADVANCE. So my first day on the job I was immediately handed a nice big check. In all my years working I've never encountered anything like it but I admit while I have "better" job offers come along every so often I can't see going back to biweekly after the fact paycheck.
Isolate the genes from this girl and send people out to populate mars or the moon on one way trips. Imagine uninterrupted lifetimes spent exploring the stars. She's just like Wolverine just a bit smaller.
GP post was an awesome if unintended troll.
So many posts about this. Just stop people. The simple answer is you can only prove something is impossible if you completely know all the rules of the domain / universe - like math and logic.
In real life it's not possible because we don't know all the rules.
I use SD cards for distributing software to PDA's. I've gone through several hundred. In my experience they either become read only or unreadable. So far I haven't had any noticeable file corruption. We do wipe the cards before updating them with new data so it's possible there are dead areas on the card that the SD controller is finding and avoiding for us.
We use them more like rewritable CD's rather than hard drives though so ymmv.
Yes! Bluetooth Serial I/O and I would write all my hardware control interfaces for iPhone.
Google Maps on the phone is useless for actually getting somewhere. It draws a nice line but without turn by turn navigation or even detecting when you're off the path and re-calculating it's no good for driving.
I know it says it's not meant for that but that strikes me as trying to cover up being inadequate with some after the fact documentation and legalese.
I would rather have the browser guys work on getting something OTHER than javascript into the browsers. Javascript is getting better, but you only polish a turd so much.

Sounds like Peppermint Patty really lost it
