Well, here we are, Michigan now is getting sued just as many in the local IGDA community suggested it would as well as others from outside the region. Here is hte Gamasutra article: Link Here is an article from GamesIndustry.biz site: <a href="http://www.gamesindustry.bi
Funny how Star Wars used the Clone Wars in Episode II used Clones for fighting a war and here we are in 2005 and a mouse, dog and sheep have now been successfully cloned! What next? Well, unlike the Star Wars clone development, where the clones come out of the factory at an adult age, our clones have to follow the normal age progression from birth - youth -
I believe it is just a matter of time, when PodCasting and BitTorrent will be combined to reduce the bandwidth associated with PodCasting, if it hasn't already been done. Thinking about doing some PodCasting, anyone have great links or tutorials?
why not make a copy of a couple of the main sites and the database, put it over on some dev servers and play with the code... just a thought, which you probably already have either thought of or tried or are doing. Of course, you probably need the 150k of traffic to really test it out, but still. Rich
alas, one of the reasons I posted it was to look at the open source type stuff going on. I neglected Skype and Vonage, because I just forgot about them, even though Skype was mentioned in the article for it's strictly proprietary communication protocol... after all they were some of the same folks behind Kazaa. Thanks.
Well, I used an internet phone way back in 1996-7ish time frame and it was need, but a bit buggy and slow... like using a walkie talkie. There are many services out there now, TeamSpeak being one I like for walkie talkie like use and great for team communication in games...

First things first! Microsoft held a free Video Game Development Webcast, which ended May 26th. http://www.microsoft.com/events/ser...dnvideodev.mspx The webcasts are still up on the MSDN site and you can watch them after the fact. Digipen also have them in PDF and source code at their webiste: http://www.digipen.edu/webcast
Upon listening to the Audio books on John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, I am somewhat struck back by how much time people used to use towards correspondance with others. I believe this is becoming a lost art, even with email and blogging. It used to be once upon a time, not long ago, where people would write each other letters on all varieties of subject. No

To me the Rebulican party is about Big Money, coporate and conservative. It is generaly considered (in my view and general) to be the white party. The Democrat party is about the Little man, the poor, the lower income or middle class. It is also generaly the party of those, who are Minority, such as black americans and hispanic. Of course I am whit
This was linked off the Libertarian party and the site may be inclined towards that party, but it is still a fun little quiz. Amazing how many can still turn out to be middle of the road though! Which is where I tend towards verse Libertarian, which I was lumped into. I answered middle of the road to most of them, since I didn't have a well formed o
As I have recently started listening to Audio Books, I recently have listened to two of note on Ben Franklin (Complete) and John Adams (presently). I am reminded and astonished at these two figures from US history. I love history and therefore enjoy it all the more. Where to start on my own thoughts of them and the subject. It makes me think of what I am
I know this looks like it could be 1990, but it was actually from May 99. It was funny that my coworker showed me this picture just recently with my previous post on Hybrids. As to the price, well Clinton was in office and had opened up the National Oil Reserves, oh ya the bubble hadn't burst yet either. <img src="http://www.companyofoutremer.com/richard/pi
Way back in the day, there was one of those totally awesome RPGs called Autoduel, which was based on a board game by Steve Jackson called Car Wars. Well, NCsoft Link is making a game, which is what I would envision an Autoduel remake!. I just read the review of the game in Computer Gaming World magazine and
Well, I read this decent article on Casual Game development over at Link Gamasutra and it was quite an insight. If you are interested in making small games, this is a great place to start! In the article, there was a great link to a page, which breaks down Flash! Here it is: <a href="http://www.drizzle.com/%7Escottb/
A hybrid is a hybrid is a hybrid. If even 1% of the nation drove hybrids, that would be 2.5 million drivers or there abouts. If even 10% of those go through a tank of gas a week, say 15 gallons, then that is a significant savings. As hybrids become more prevalent in the economy, they will become standard and it will not matter that it is just 3 mpg. Yes, there are more significant savings in full hybrids, but that is how the cookie crumbles.
Hi Peter Wood, I recall reading 4-6 years ago, that there are two appoaches to the issue of the price of gasoline and the effect OPEC has on it, which was first established in the (American only?) gasoline crises of the mid/late '70s. America decided to tax the gas and go with the flow, letting the market dictate the price, per our Capatilist economy. Of course, what incentive does companies in America have to reduce the cost of ga

I graduated High School in 1990 and the gas prices were about a $1.00 a gallon in America. 15 years later, it is over $2.00. What will the price be in another 15 or even less, say 6-7? I would expect it to go up to at least $3.00 a gallon within 5-7 years, since China is exponentially growing as a market for new cars and there are obviously dwindling reserves. The

This issue has been addressed over and over again elsewhere as well as similiar attempts agains other forms of entertainment. The bill in question is SB 249, introduced in the Michigan Senate by Hansen Clarke (et al) and referred to the Judiciary Committee for action.

ParaTed2k, thank you for the response. After having read Draginol's article and how he illustrates the fact that there are many others out there, who are also mentally challenged and wouldn't live without sustance provided to them, such as Shivo, then we could have the same issue with them as well. Makes even more sense for Shivo's parents to have been granted custody.
Well, I am sickened, probably like the rest of you by the fiasco of what the Politicians have been doing with the publicity surrounding the Terry Shivo case. As to my opionion as to if she should die or not, I am torn. On one side, I respect her parents wishes to see their daughter live and would like to see them succeed. On the other, if Shivo
GIMP is open source and free. Not too bad, but I am a noobie at it.
your article gives me the inspiration I need to finally get out and make a Linux box, so thank you. As to Thomassen's comment about gaming, well the more folks out there, who start using Linux, then the more devlopers, who will make games for Linux. Until then, that piece of the pie is just not big enough for people to do that. BTW, once Microsoft starts requiring registered copies of their product for updates other than Critical Upd
