      I have mixed feelings about the amateur space exp movement. Too much re-inventing the wheel. The real way forward (progress) is to build an electric rail-gun in space.

      Railguns are so 2000s. Get me to the space elevator!

      Very nice... Its funny how the feeling of vertigo from the speed and heights is suddenly replaced by the fear of loosing contact with earth and being "sucked" into that dark void. You almost welcome the fact that gravity pulls you again (well, and that you have a parachute)

      @Pusianka the other climber was dying, they couldn't tell if the guy was breathing, so there was just nothing they could do.

      pusianka

      They couldn't tell, doesn't mean he was dead. It means they were unsure. That's the part that bothers me. I tell you watch "Into the thick air" it was a disastrous climb in which almost whole group died but the guy who was left in snow a few times survived. I say it's not human to just leave sb when there is any chance of survival.

      You should just get an Amazon Fire stick and put Kodi on it.

    3. Bikerdude

      Bikerdude

      Already have Kodi on the media PC. Back to AP, not impressed with Amazon video, the selection for TV/Movies that are on Prime are sh*t in the extreme... Netflix is far better in this regard.

    4. jaxa

      jaxa

      Kodi is far better than both. You'll find that Netflix's catalog is very fragmented.

       

      If you do feel the need to pay, Hulu's catalog is an interesting alternative to Netflix.

  4. Any US based taffers going to QuakeCon?, maybe you could represent for TDM - http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/01/30/quakecon-2014-announced-has-moved-to-july/

      It would be cool if we have someone or some presence there.

      If I had the ability, I would. Besides TDM, it would be fun to play Quake 2 CTF or classic TF.

    4. Lydecker

      Lydecker

      Classic TF? You mean QWTF? We put it up on a LAN party few years back. It was still a blast.

  5. anyone seen the star trek aniversery google logo, quite cool.

      If it was the 50th anniversary, then yeah, that's a thing. But 46? Is 46 special? Does it matter?

      meh, I see yer point. And I dont have love for most things google, but I thought the trek doodle was amusing.

      It's only a delay, it will be back for another vote in September. A small victory yes, but not the end of the war.

      It didn't get thrown out Biker, it got sent back for more debate.

       

      "In the end, MEPs decided the changes needed more debate and sent the proposals back to the Commission. The two sides will undoubtedly step up their campaigns in the meantime."

    4. AluminumHaste

      AluminumHaste

      And it was a very close vote as is 318-278, so next round with minor changes could go through.

      Lots of narration about how different each encounter will be...other than the specific bark (you burned me), how is it any different from a generic fight?

      It's exclusive to games that almost guarantee loss if one player leaves.

      Cooperative multiplayer games are fine. It's just the competitive ones that are the problem. Either you get let down by random team-mates, or you're the one letting them down and you get abuse.

      +1 on coop games, as I recently only discovered this type of gameplay in Dying Light.

      How exactly do they get that information? Seems a little misleading to me.

    3. Bikerdude

      Im guessing its all done mostly on stats..

    4. Sir Taffsalot

      But 90% of statistics are useless.

      The future indeed. I like the concept of "property". But nowadays, even after a company has sold something to you, they still want to be able to own and control it.

      Scientific publishers (Blackwell, Wiley, Taylor&Francis, Elsevier and so on) are among the least ethical companies out there. They operate with obscene profit margins, while scientific publishing typically nets the authors nothing (or, indeed, they have to pay for the honour of being published). Wouldn't shed a single tear if they got taken down a notch or two.

  10. Created a wiki entry on howto create switchable windows :-D

      Never underestimate the power of the wiki entries! Individual mapper knowledge may or may not help the community, depending how active the mapper is in helping others. Wiki entries are great way to store the accumulated mapper knowledge for everyone. (Is the wiki data backuped by the way? Can a server failure make all the data disappear?) Sometimes I need to read my own wiki articles to remember how something was done...

      How much do those things cost? This might end up being one of the most cost effective ways to raise global literacy (English literacy, anyway), especially if they're teaching their parents.

  15. Evening, I am on track to release my 1.08 updated version of Business as usual tomorrow. Just giving the final version a quick beta test, just in time for the first snows here in the UKe.
