  1. some black dude or so i've heard, probably not important
  2. Drake7707

  3. cheap 20$ usb tv card ? Depends how much you watch tv, nowadays it's faster to download the episodes you want to watch from file sharing sites, and the things you can't find isn't usually worth watching anyway
  4. Who the hell uses miles nowadays, switch to the bleeping standard metric system This post was totally relevant, as much relevancy as this thread, yessirree
  5. try changing the integers to long ?
  6. nice ^^ I think the top of the engines look more like a cockpit does, instead of being the top of a cilinder. More like ___ /_ /\ /_ / /_ / / \ that lights up when the engines are firing (as far as i can tell from the subspace opening trailer) Slightly more like the one here: http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic=12003&view=findpost&p=144921
  7. Will you get the first rendered edges with it? I only saw you rendering spheres with it yet Nah, i've done some standard objects like teapot and standford bunny ( http://webs.hogent.be/dwight/glassteapot.png and http://webs.hogent.be/dwight/glassbunny.png ) Rendering the lancaster takes considerable more time :/ (I estimate 5-10 hours, because it's rendering on only 1 thread so i can other stuff). I definately need to look into kd-tree implementation to speed up ray intersection sigh
  8. Ooh, I shall render it using my raytracer (don't expect any result soon, it's sloooooow)
  9. I doubt many people will make the switch, those who are only using their computers for email and browser are pc illiterate enough that they will stick to things they already know, even if it's totally obvious (or more obvious than what they are using) with COS. Also they listen to the sales persons when they buy a new computer, and he/she would be really dumb to suggest COS over Windows, as they probably get more money selling windows based machines. And those who do other stuff on a PC, they need a bigger OS with more features. I wouldn't even recommend using COS to anyone because i had quite a few bad experiences with google apps and i've heard the same of others. It's quite impossible to predict what the general population will use in the future (look at the iPhone, totally retarded overpriced phone with features only 1% of the people use, but it 'looks' cool and it 'makes' you cool if you have one)
  10. have you tried running it in win xp sp2 compatibility mode ? I don't have much experience with vb6 dependencies in Vista :/
  11. I'm sure only a little bit of that creative code has been ported to the recent release. She's active like mommy, but hasn't started talking yet (like mommy) but far better attitude (like daddy) so she'll probably be more artistcly inclined. Let's just hope she doesn't start drawing on the walls (like daddy did) *mumbles* with feces and paint. Before you know it, there's C++ code all over the house
  12. 10 questions for chrome OS http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2349845,00.asp It'll be useful for a quick lookup on the internet (if it's really instant on) if your computer is off, but not as a main os. I mean, stuff in the cloud is doomed to fail with shitty internet connections (and I haven't forgotten the last time i used google docs, it reversed changes as if they were never there, losing 2 days work). Nothx google, i'll stick to vista or win7
  13. present! I've only done it twice so it's not really a routine
  14. on which occasions ? work ? Nicely dressed with tie makes me feel respected for some reason ^^'
  15. tie's are old fashioned , unless it's a high end job noone wears a tie anymore. I did a few times for my internship presentation but meh, they are more annoying than aestetically pleasing. Edit: oh wait, date, i thought job. Never done that before, so wouldn't know what's best
  16. Yeah, it looks not mirrored anymore, neat =D I think perhaps the specular property of the texture should be a bit higher, because the ship is probably made from some kind of metal, and the phong shading looks a little too dispersed. Perhaps you can up the phong exponent a bit (i mostly use 128)? I'm not certain if that will look better or worse without actually seeing the difference though
  17. Thanks all ^^ Here you have 2 different versions of bachelor, 1 is the professional bachelor without a master, the other is an academic bachelor with a master year (or 2 years). Academic bachelor is higher than a professional one though
  18. Good job , i can't wait to stuff those objects into my raytracer ^^
  19. I used avast before, but i switched over to Microsoft Security Essentials. Even though it's in beta, i checked some results and it's on par with other free av's like avg and avast, but it has better integration (duh) and consumes less cpu & memory. AVG has too many false positives for my taste (it treats almost each crack/keygen as a backdoor :/) It's not like I ever download (or get tricked into downloading (people on msn suddenly starting to say stuff in english is suspicous )) malware/virus/other crap, but it's better to be on the safe side
  20. I've graduated woot ^^ (there were only 2 with great honours, the rest sucks ) , now i'm a Professional Bachelor in Informatics ^^ (apparently if i translate the school site in english it's 'Applied Computer Science') Now either finding a job or if that fails continue studying to get my master ^^
  21. It's legal up to 50 grams for personal use in the Netherlands, there's a big drugs traffic going on here between Belgium and Netherlands with all those drug tourists going just over the border to the infamous coffee shops in the Netherlands to fill their stash
  22. Not with JDownloader I thought it was like that as well
  23. http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Boxxy
  24. Like building a large hadron collider with bombs & ships ? All aboard the particle stream !
  25. Ah I don't mean a group, i mean like an official fan page (the "become a fan" feature".) Which acts more like a person, and can have status updates etc, a group can't do anything of this You can sync twitter updates to facebook and myspace too, which would mean multiple updates to these sites could be made in one place. http://www.facebook.com/pages/ContinuumSubspace/20806916745?sid=3fd341085cb5abe3aa6eb9d00fad6dcc&ref=search ?
