Interesting song, that Mew one.
The article, or Thompson's letter, doesn't put the in-game lawyer's comments in context with the situation. Why is Niko there? Maybe he's been hired by a games developer to remove a lawyer getting in their way? I'm sure Thompson isn't the only lawyer on the planet to oppose violent videogames.

I didn't want to ask you in the thread, because it is old. Can you please connect with me on MSN Messenger to send me the game? And don't forget the others, we waited enought for it!
Also ought to mention that I told them to talk to me on MSN and I'd send them the demo, even though I have no intention of going back on MSN anytime soon.

UCLA is funny and makes you install this program before you can connect to the internet, and the program checks to make sure you have a proper antivirus. So you can't go online unless your antivirus is up to date. But then you can't update your antivirus because you can't go online.:rolleyes: It also makes you disable your wireless card, which is dumb, because it took me a while to figure out how to disable my wireless ethernet without disabling my bluetooth mouse.

I don't know what happens if you have a Mac, but I assume you can make it work because enough people have them. My roommate is getting a MacBook, so I'll find out soon enough how that works out.
There's wi-fi, but for some reason I can't seem to connect to the internet anywhere. Windows reports it connected successfully, but I'm only ever connected locally and can never access the internet. They say you can't and are not allowed to access wi-fi from the rooms, which makes little to no sense, but I was actually online in the room for about 10 minutes, but then haven't been able to go online with wifi since, even in the lounges where you're supposed to be able to. I'm in the Ghetto old dorm building, so I tried this other building where I used the wifi during orientation, but the same thing. I connected but only "locally".:rolleyes:
I also managed to connect to some random airport network like down the street or something, but I was only locally connected there too. I'm starting to think it might have to do with my computer.

SupSuper
23 Sep 2007, 05:15
Offhand, I'd say check if your computer is configured to receive wi-fi internet off others (as opposed to host or whatever), that the workgroup/domain/whatever are properly set, that it isn't picking up too many connections and confusing itself, that it's not privatizing the network, or whatever other wacky thing it tends to do. Or just keep doing Repair and hope something magical happens.

I'm gonna get some live rock in there. My dad has a little tank with a bunch of live rock in it, and there's all sorts of sponges and/or anemones... anemonae? I think. And stuff. And apparently some sort of little crustacian critter in there that keeps darting out of sight whenever he turns the light on. A tank of my size would make a really killer setup. Once I get it established with the live rock and all, preferably with anemonae, I'll put some clownfish in. I like clownfish.

ANSWER: It was on Fox.
Honestly, if I made a show and Fox was where it was going to be, I would just give up right there and then.
In case you aren't aware of Fox's sucktastrophes, the timeslots for new shows can totally change from week to week, and usually they're given the worst timeslot possible. Plus, they have premieres on Sunday, and football is on Sunday, so if your show has the timeslot right after the game, you're screwed.

Also, Deadcode promised me to give a a short animated version of it, so I can make the worm burn a big black B.
Maybe if you nag him long enough, he'll give you an exclusive SOAR sprite. ;)

Google SketchUp (not "Google's Ketchup") is pretty good for 3D stuff, I think. I've been using OpenOffice.org Draw lately -- that's worked nicely and it can output to PDF as well, should you want it to. Depends what you want to do, though. I haven't done any proper technical drawing for about six years, and none of it on computer.

It can curve and stretch one side of it, but not curve it. Even Microsoft Word can curve text.

mind the wide bar at the top, hover the buttons, one will say "wrap text" or "warp teext", im not sure. you can do a whole lot more in photoshop than you can in word when it comes to typography.

Does the name of the software not give you some clue as to what it's for? You wouldn't criticise Firefox for not being able to create MIDI files. The ability to make text appear curved is not a basic feature of a photo-editing suite. You want a drawing programme, vector-based by the sounds, like CorelDraw or something. There are free ones available but I only know of OpenOffice's one. As I recall, Serif do a pretty good one called DrawPlus, there might be an old version for free somewhere.

I was in #worms yesterday, speaking to a chap who spoke both English and German. His problem, though, was that his spelling was terrible in both. I called him out on it, and suddenly he accuses me of being a racist. Apparently I was berating him for not speaking English, which wasn't what I doing at all - I was berating him for not being able to type properly in either language. This apparently makes me racist. He then proceeded to take a page out of "Irony for Dummies" and proceeded to call English people, the English language and the British isles a slew of offensive terms in both English and German.
I told him, several times in fact, that I wasn't making fun of him for his inability to speak English. I was merely pointing out that he has all the typing skills of a blind babboon with only one working figure jabbing wildly at the computer keyboard. He didn't back down, so I started to call him a small-minded person. He then took that to mean "all Germans are small-minded", and proceeded to throw more racist remarks at me.

No, there's just a high male:female ratio on campus - also very few staff (compared to students) are listed in the Lufbra network.

I doubt those figures are accurate. For one it should be 0% married, and there is no option for "I is da teenage playa, yo."
The network includes folks who have already graduated, and I know one girl who actually got married straight out of high school. She's probably the one throwing off the data. Though you make a good point.
And what age range is your school?
14-19, but like I said, graduates bring the range to more like 13-23.

I cannot friggin' wait to play this.
Super Paper Mario's use of the flipping mechanic was rather shallow. Rather than flip along the different "sides" of the 2D plane, it just switched from 2D to 3D. Not only that, but it was treated like a powerup. That meant they didn't have a whole lot of puzzles to choose from. It was a gimmick. (The presentation was damn good, though).
Fez, though, makes the flipping a mechanic. It's built into the game, and it's going to be AWESOME. :D

that game used its flip damn well, I thought, and it looked about a million times less confusing than Crush, Fez or Echochrome (which looks very interesting, but I'd be wary about how many different puzzles that game can have).

BLARG I hate American keyboards. I've tried three times to type this psot and each time I seem to accidentally hit the Tab key, or something, and when I think I'm typing, I'm not. Then I think I've made a mistake and I hit backspace and naturally the page skips back and, because I'm using Quick Reply, I lose my post. I also seem to hit enter when I go to hit the '
key. It's most infuriating. I've have a mind to buy a UK keyboard when I'm in England in November and bring it back with me.
Anyway.

Some keys on US keyboard are actually different shapes, so I effectively have to retrain myself to use some of the keys. I'm doing okay so far, but I occasionally hit Enter instead of '. The \| key is also in the wrong place - it's where the top of the Return key should be.

I take it you mean smaller as in area, because it seems that the American keyboard has an even wider enter key than the British layout, which I would take to mean it's more conveniently located because it's closer. And I can't imagine ever wanting to hit Enter on the top half.:p
Actually my Enter Key is bigger than my shift key, but that might be because I have a laptop, and a small one at that. The shift key is cut short on the right side to make room for a pair of half-sized Page Up and Down keys. Which I never noticed until you made me look at them, actually... And also my `~ key is right to the left of spacebar, as opposed to above tab where it's be on a normal keyboard. I kinda like it there actually...
