> "Iterate in the living room"... I love marketing-speak. I took that to mean that we won't be stuck on the same spec hardware for 6-7 years, like the current gen consoles have been.

Why do people forget that Windows XP was buggy, slow and insecure until SP2?

Qt is easily the best toolkit and api I've ever worked with. I've been saying for a while that Gnome 3 should ditch gtk and switch to Qt, and not just so that apps will look/feel better in another environment.

The pages that are there are complete chapters and I'm happy with them. The "incomplete" parts of the books are pages that don't exist yet. Good luck getting those deleted!

Wikipedia? I mostly just correct a few things here and there. Wikibooks? I've started 2 whole books from scratch, each with dozens of pages...

Both are incomplete, I'll get round to completing them when I can.

Thank you, I forgot that this is probably the most annoying thing for me when watching 3D films! When the viewer is free to change their focus, don't mess with depth of field effects, forcing them to keep a certain focus. It feels like being short sighted again!

Fair enough, I guess I can only say with 100% certainty that the Imax cinema in Waterloo, London uses linear polarization. I've recently done some work on various stereoscopic viewing methods, so I am very confident that I can tell different types apart.

And you're right, I noticed especially on scenes where the objects were meant to be "in front" of the screen, things did seem pretty disorientating. Luckily, I had a decent seat, so it wasn't all that bad.

You said exactly what I meant. My post is pretty unclear, now that I've read it again. Sorry about that.

Whenever I see ads for 3D films (especially re-releases of 2d films), I do shake my head a little, but I also like the fact that the industry are finding some way to provide something that can't be found at home. And also I noticed a recent film ad (Nanny McPhee, I think) mentioned that the film will be launched in 15 countries simultaneously, which is one of the reasons people prefer to just pirate. Problem is, however, we will all have our own stereoscopic television sets soon enough..

I've seen Avatar twice (both times were because someone else wanted me to accompany them when they went to see it). Once in a regular theatre, and the second time in an Imax theatre.

I got headaches only with the Imax version because of the linear polarization which meant if my head was tilted even slightly to the side, there would be ghosting. The cheapo cinema used circular polarization, which was more comfortable and caused me no eye strain at all. Perhaps something similar happened to you?

The original PSX didn't have an fpu. All 3d calculations were done with integers. A big part of porting PC games was the conversion from floating point to integer.

Also, we need a -1 factually incorrect mod. Don't mean to single you out, but quite a few posts are modded up when there's a mistake. People who seem sure of what they're saying are usually assumed to be correct (just like in real life!).

When I'd have to handwrite the date on a daily basis (i.e. at school on the top of every page) I really got into the habit of writing the previous year. So in the new year, I'd always mess up for a few days and would have to think about it till about a week when I automatically started getting it right.

Now that I barely need to write out the date, I always get it right, I guess because I don't need to unlearn writing the last year which would have been an unconscious reflex by that point.

I also have a personal home page. But it's just a message telling me if I am sure I need to be browsing the web at that very moment instead of working or doing something else more important. I have a Google search box below that, in case I actually do.

I voted Venus because many of it's vital stats are suspiciously similar to Earth's. Then again the last time I studied the planets in our solar system was way back in high school, but I've always imagined Venus to be a planet similar to Earth in the distant past ruined by global warming :-)

Have you got any information on ground-folding engines and how they work? I've worked with bsp engines thanks to mapping for Source, but I've never been able to find anything on how alternative engines manage to work well with wide open spaces. A Google search for "ground-folding engine" and similar terms returned nothing relevant.
