  1. Paper-conclusion of the year: "This shows that autostereoscopic 3D displays are more effective in displaying 3D shapes than 2D Displays." :D

  2. Penny Dreadful now picked up as a TV series... ;-) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2628232/

      Thanks guys. It worked out great. And my ex-colleagues have put together a really funny laudatio/roast. :-D

      @ST/Sotha - it this context it means valve are over charging. And I am refering to BS:3 and ES:5_LE.

      Vor allem für das Geld... eine gute Uhr!

      My wristwatch has exposed workings like that. It's the kind that rewinds itself slightly when you move your arm, so there's a coil inside that winds and unwinds throughout the day.

      All it needs is the logo changed to say "The Darkmod"

  5. Terror now seems to hit Germany as well... :-/

      What has happened? I hear a football game was cancelled?

       

      They are shooting again in Paris: policemen injured in some suburb siege?

       

      Crazy times. :(

      Seems like there was only a mockup bomb. But even if it was just a mockup, it's still a bit scary.

      This was an important football game to show everyone of those terrorists that we are free and will not hide. Even Chancellor Merkel and some other high ranked politicians wanted to visit this game (which was the next big thing after the game in Paris) but sadly there were concrete hints on a planned attack and they had to cancel this other than risking peoples lives :-/

  6. To pick the job with shorter work distance and no need to move to a different city or the better paying one with shorter work hours, that is the question! Tough!

      Yeah and you can focus on yourself and whatnot. Moving and settling in with your belongings is like a second job for at least 3-6 months until you dismantle everything.

      Money is worth what you consider it to be worth. I wouldn't overestimate it's usage. I prefer free time and relaxation over bling bling, but that is a subjective decision.

      I am exactly the same. I have already chosen the nearby job and I am so happy with that decision. My girlfriend and I will move in together into a new flat very close to work. So that's awesome. :)

      Hm I think they don't look as good as on the screens. If you bought one, Stifu, please make a photo :)

      Friends of mine bought some. But they did not arrive yet.

  7. Two things about TDM I learned yesterday: 1) You can look away in the middle of a lock-picking-sequence and continue right where you left off if you keep pressing the frob button. You are not reset to the last tumbler you unlocked when doing that. 2) You can actually cancel bow-draw by pressing the "block"-key. I feel like I knew #2 once, but I must've forgotten. It amazes me that after all these years, you still discover new stuff about the game!! :-D

      There used to be a funny bug where you could hit yourself with your own sword by swinging it at a specific angle. I told Springheel about it and he fixed it.

      Also, I am really afraid of dataloss, so I backup a lot and stop using hard drives with bad SMART-values for anything other than Trash.

  8. While researching an issue with Kodi, I found this guy called Ned Scott (see link). How do you even manage to get banned after accumulating more than 30,000 posts? :Dhttp://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=159067&pid=1572249#pid1572249

      lowenz, who are you talking about? :)

       

      Thanks stumpy, it almost reads like the assholes are on the kodi team. But who cares, kodi sucks anyway. I am running Emby now! :)

  9. Yeah, I am doing a Skyrim-Lan with a friend through the easter-weekend! :D

      It's awesome! I am Level 38 now and I didn't even finish the main storyline or any of the guild-storylines... :D

      Ye, I don't remember myself finishing any elder scrolls game... Well, good you're having fun. I am quite harsh about games lately.

      You can never really finish any elder scrolls game... ;)

  10. µtorrent comes with malware now... -_- Who knows a good alternative?

      How about Azureus? This one has a fairly large resource footprint, as it is programmed in Java, but I used it for a very long time, until I started using uTorrent.

    3. STiFU

      STiFU

      Yeah, I guess I'll use Vuze now (formerly known Azureus). I'll also give KTorrent a shot, since I generally prefer non-java applications.
