yay for incorrect shipping etas... my copy arrived today

She's very different in the 5th dimension

anyone using Google Listen? I just installed it, and it did index idle thumbs, but it doesn't show episode 43 yet :/

I also played KOTOR1, liked it enough to also play KOTOR2. However, I don't remember much from the game. Was KOTOR1 with the meatbag? Or was that 2?

Really? Never tested that, as I always enable GPS when I'm about to use a program that uses it, and disable it when I'm done with the program. Anyway, don't see the use in keeping GPS enabled when I rarely ever use it.

But you would still have 2 instances of the object, instead of just one 1 object with 2 interfaces. You would need to use JVM as the base for your engine in order to get a similar integration as the UnrealEngine solution. Doesn't have to be a bad thing, actually... would be quite nice. All you have to do is implement java native interfaces for certain features which sucks in Java: hardware graphic, physics middleware, audio (middleware), ...

The problem you always have with using an existing language and VM with your engine is that you need to create a mapping. UnrealScript is build around the unreal object system. So there is a direct mapping from native code to unrealscript. No level of indirection.

Was purely talking semantically. And in any language you'll be able to define comparators for >, <, == and have a case where !(A > B || B < A || B == A) could be true. Because equals might not always live on the same plane of meaning. A example would be NaN for integers, and mathematically there's also infinity. For example when A = ∞, B = ∞ the previously mentioned statement is true (or should be). Anyway... I concluded that if !(A > B || B > A) is true it doesn't matter of B == A or not. It doesn't matter in case of sorting the results, because it's ambiguous anyway.

oh.. it's xzibit... close enough I didn't care enough to bother to use google

what is retro gaming?

I don't know much about signal processing and multiplexing of multiple channels through a single piece of copper. But I can still watch TV. I don't understand how "Law" is supposed to work, but I can still break it.

it's xibit or something

Recursion, say what Does not compute

ok, I recently created a hacky solution I'm sort of proud of: http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/UE3:Insertion_Sort_Macro It's basically an preprocessor marco that implements insertion sort of a dynamic array. And you might thing this is a terrible solution, but it isn't. UnrealScript (the scripting language used in the UnrealEngine) doesn't optimize code, and certain things are quite expensive. For example, function calls are quite expensive. A normal quicksort is very heavy on it's function calling. It's usually better to implement a selection or insertion sort. This hack provides an easy way to perform inline sorting of any dynamic array of any type, by the simple use of 2 macros. This is a hacky solution because it's implemented as a preprocessor macro. Preprocessors is a hack to begin with. But also, this isn't the way you should implement functionality like this. But due to certain limitations and/or considerations, this quite a nice hack. ps, I'm considering optimizing this routine, but I need to resolve a semantic issue first. i.e. does !(A>B || B>A) mean A==B? I'm considering to say yes, but == is much stronger in its meaning than the other construction.

I really enjoy my ADP1 (similar to the G1). Before this I owned a few Windows Mobile phones, and I really hated them. One of the things I really like about the ADP1 is that it doesn't require any special treatment. Attach it to the computer, and it behaves like a normal USB device, including a USB mass storage device. I also like the ability to update the software without losing anything. (Sure, the iPhone allows you to backup everything before the flash and then puts it all back). The basic software for the Android is ok, and there is a lot of good gratis software to improve the phone. For example "Locale" is awesome, when I enter the office it will automatically put the phone in silent mode. When I get home it will change the ring tone volume to max. The battery time is ok, I usually charge it once every 2 days (don't want to walk around with less that 25% of battery time, here's a graph of a 7 day period of using, not really useful ). Of course that doesn't say much about how I use the phone. When you disable the fancy stuff like GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth (and tone down the seriously bright screen, I have it set at 2/10) it can last quite some time. Wifi and GPS really suck the power out of the device. On a fully charged phone it will run out of juice in 4 hours when you use GPS. Anyway... I like the phone, because I actually own the damn thing and I have pretty much full control on how I want to use it. In a few weeks I'll get an iPhone from my new job. Not sure if I'm going to use that phone or simply sure the simcard in my ADP1.

bastards... my PC copy has been delayed...

A Bridge Too Far A Clockwork Orange A Shot in the Dark

I liked the Anachronox version: Kill it... with death!

THE A TEAM

Hmm... I can't think of any hacky solution I'm proud of or amused by. I have made some hacky solutions which are quite complex, but I'm not really proud of it.

Two guys, one TUP?

Layton is a must have for the NDS.

If you look more closely, he's sitting in a modern kitchen with a large fridge right behind him. And I think there's a bag of chips/crisps on the floor. I think it's a LARPer.

Me too, but I start again at November 1st. But I still need to find a new place to live :/
