It's interesting that you should say that. I have never had any trouble judging distances in "traditional 2D games," as you call them, (although we all know the PROPER classification is "3D," because proper 2D is not capable of producing problems such as you mentioned (proper 2D as in, say, NES games or (most) SNES games.))

And 3D still requires those really retarded glasses that inconvenience people who wear glasses instead of contacts to do something about their shitty vision. I don't like the effect, so even when those glasses go away I still probably won't give in to the gimmick.

Seriously. I will not watch a 3D movie if I can avoid it.

I agree. I can't watch 3D comfortably at all because my eyesight is so horrible, I can barely see without my glasses.

We all know how troublesome it is to have to wear two pairs of glasses (at least, those of us who've done it)

In my science class sometimes I have to pick between not being able to see, but with eye protection, OR without the eye protection, and being able to see. Then again, they say that glasses can be used in place of the safety goggles, so...

I probably will never buy a 3D TV, though, since I don't like the 3D effect.

I hate it when companies release unfinished games.
Only two reasons exist to allow for unfinished games being released.

One of them is testing releases. These, however, should probably stay within the company.
The other are pre-release demos.

I have no problem with releasing extra content later. It's removing it from the final product and then adding it in later, for a charge, that bugs me.

It depends on what you want to do with programming, as well. For me, Python works good enough to use exclusively. But that's because of what I choose to program, and the level of cross-platform support that I desire.

Would I want to use it for, say, programming stuff used by the first astronauts going to Mars??? Um... no.

"You still havent managed to account for the fact that with Windows I have a choice of IDE's and languages, .Net, C++, Java, Python, Ruby are all supported by Windows. So I can develop for Windows using Java at zero cost, I can also distribute at zero cost using many online services such as sourceforge."

Notice that you used a cross-platform language in your example. I could do the same thing on Linux/Mac. You said that as if Java was Windows-exclusive.

Teacher: Here's your webquest.
Student: *loads page*
Computer: HELLO, INTERNET EXPLORER HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE ****ED BECAUSE I WON'T LOAD THIS PAGE AND YOU CAN'T DO YOUR ASSIGNMENT!!!
Student: Well, the Internet connection on this computer's just fine... Other pages load...
Computer: OF COURSE THE CONNECTION IS FINE! I SAID, I REFUSE TO LOAD THIS PAGE BECAUSE I *WANT* TO SCREW YOU OVER!

I wonder why school infiltration failed...

By the way, has this happened to anyone else?

Allow me to explain as best I can.

As I understand it, the 3D objects in the real world are actually there, at the distance that they are at and the distance they appear to be. However, at a 3D movie, or things similar to that, it will look like something is, say, an arm's length from you, although in reality the object is at the location of the screen which could be, say, 30 meters.

Oh yes, learning M$ Excel is going to be so interesting!

Good thing I don't live there.

Well, good thing I have succeeded in preventing at least one person from that horrible fate. I have converted someone to Linux before.

I bet there's probably a way to get around that. I have a few Linux LiveCD's around, if I had one of the computers I'd be able to test it. Not like I see the point of using school computers if you can help it. If at all possible, use your own computer!

So if an operating system was written to crash on schedule, it would be equally as good as every other operating system? Or an OS coded so poorly, when you tried to turn it on , it would say "Boot Error" no matter who the person was? I actually don't know if any OS's in existence do that. Anyways, just sayin'.

You have just reached the obvious conclusion!
That guy's IQ was probably something like -1 x (9.94375 x 10^9999999999999999999). Of course, I could have been brutally honest and said that ANY criminal's IQ is around -1 x (infinity^infinity). Simply stated, really really really stupid.

Much less likely to happen on Linux or on a Mac. This is my opinion, though, based on things I have read. Feel free to disagree! =D
Hey, as long as it isn't trolling about it, I really don't mind the disagreeing.
