Order of the Hammer Bureaucrat

For years I've thought that the appropriate approach would be to discuss and draw together either on a large sheet of paper or autocad the overall plan of the city, districts, city squares, housing subdivisions, theatre, library, etc, then sketch it out in the level, then divide into sections on which each person would work, then combine it all, with everything hopefully having gone smoothly.

I thought one way or another the game screen and building screen is going to merge eventually, here's a recent entry from my diary. 2/03/07 4:00 pm How about a system for designing architecture in FMs where hardware consisting of 3D goggles connected to a laptop and usb gloves, where tracking of wrists and of gestures of fingers is implemented. Example: pinching fingers and drawing into a rectangle produces a rectangle in front with dimensions displayed, then unpinching fingers, making some other gesture, and pushing it forth to create a tunnel of a certain depth. Similarly, drawing towards oneself to fill-solid. Some form of menu on the side, hierarchical, select imperfections brush, or rust or bump map brush, add some, select colours, point to surfaces and colours are applied. Or select surfaces, then scroll finger along selection of textures on the left and see it applied to the surfaces.

It's nice how Russians seem to be the only nation still not afraid of legal repercussions when discussing physical retribution (or racial issues for that matter).

I've also never yet enabled automatic updates.

Oh, well if you put it that way, then I suppose I am excited.

It's some broad on the cover of some magazine. Maybe there's been a mix-up with the imageshack database numbers.

I think anybody would recommend switching.

I'm type 2 as well. Memorable places don't have to have unique functions like bank or post office, they can have unique interior design like in actual suburban houses, which all have identical architecture. I tried playing Need for Speed when a bunch of people were recommending it saying it's incredibly realistic in 2000. I frequently wished I could drive away from the track, but the game did not have enough realism and did not allow it.

I see. I didn't understand at first - I thought some undeveloped film is placed in front of the lens, or else two half-developed films are used together to create ghosty images or something. I always thought cameras deliberately have a filter to filter-out IR, and if I wanted an IR cam, that's exactly what I would buy.

I question your choice of cold-rolled steel case, this is not a steam engine you're building here. And 1GB of RAM seems somewhat too little for your purposes. But the HDD you're spending too little on, I doubt it'll be reliable - it might suddenly start clicking any day. And, no, if you're wondering, I'm not building something like that, I'm content with my P2 laptop, although I do dream of a sub-sub-notebook.

I don't understand the layers.

I've always dreamt of AI which dynamically learn that hands can be used for clutching and bicepts for pulling and thus learn to climb ladders.

I think most people on this board won't immediately see the humour in that because of a lack of French.

Perhaps he's referring to its medievalness?

Actually for me colliding black holes are about as interesting as tabloids about celebrities. I have no interests in science, but go nuts over technology - maybe that's why I chose to become an engineer. Actually, the only scientific topic which interests me greatly, and has done so since I was 7, is gravity's connection to electromagnetism, etc, and propellant-less propulsion.

I heard about laser cooling a few years ago, it's nothing new, as I understand it, the photons get absorbed and then released with higher energy taking the heat with them. As to macroscopic observations, I feel it will be nothing interesting, just dry academic journal articles. Oh, and regarding the battery application, a few months ago I heard that somebody IS doing it. Some kind of helical thin gold foil or carbon something, and something else using electrical charges.

Because it likes consuming energy. at the moment. China etc will catch up.

I was fascinated by this Casimir effect back in the days. Now that we gradually slid to Free Energy discussions, what do y'all think about those Irish spinning their magnets over at Steorn? I've got plenty of such people bookmarked in my "weird tech" bookmarks folder, all are scams and/or shady. Remains to be seen what will come of these guys. If only we could find a place with some lower potential, something very low. If only heaven and hell existed, then we could surely run some heat engines or some other potential harvesting devices between them and generate energy for earth (USA)

That's the problem with non-alphabetical characters, using different encodings.

I've had several 2.5" hdds die because it was over 30 degrees in the room in the past year. I sympathize with those who have components failing from the heat. jdude, if I were you, I'd open up the side of the desktop and point some cheap desk-fan at it.

Is it just me or is there a little problem with unicode?

Hey, I like crystals. Minerals, crystals, they look nice when placed on a table or bookshelf.

Unstoppable, why do you keep pointing out that flash game?

Very nice. I like your stylistic and atmospheric match to what I like.
