I wonder if there is potential for animation via icon-packager... Perhaps IconX should be modified to support more of this kind of feature... Thirdy party support for ideas like that would surely work but its just such a shame Microsoft are being so hesitant about using the kind of graphic power on th
Some great quotes, brings back memories. Here's my fave Convict: You're gonna kill me with your soup cup? Riddick: Tea, actually. Convict: What? Riddick: I'll kill you with my teacup. No prizes for guessing the movie
I love the idea of Vista desktop being rendered entirely in 3D but with all this graphics potential how come we are still stuck with single image icons. Hell, I'd of thought we could handle at least a rollover with hardware accelerated graphics help. It's all rather dissapointing. I love icons and I used to adore my rollover icons in workbench, folder opens when rolled over, CD drive opens, etc. etc. It just seems like a huge missed opportu
When you press the "Render" button on your rendering application. Thats rendering. I understand the point perfectly but you are incorrect in that the definition of rendering does not refer exclusively to the final output stage. The strict dictionary definition describes rendering when applied to art a
if is so great a computer why isn't it setting on every desk on planet earth. I gave up believing that quality had anything to do with popularity when the pokemon craze hit.
'm sorry CarebroJD but. . . nothing is rendered in Maya. Nadda. They either use a version of Renderman, (ILM/Starwars, Pixar/Nemo,) some in house custom tool I think that is being a little pedantic, when we say rendered in, in general people are refering to the package used to work on the animation.
I'm still using V7 and can't say I warmed at all to the later and bloatier versions. Haven't checked out PSP since Corel took over but if Bryce5 was anything to go by, I'll give it a miss.
This relates precisely to my concerns about the internet being seen as a replacement for human interaction and developing real world communicative skills. Without these things, we become desensitised and therefore more able to trample over others and their feelings, both on and off the internet. This
From what I have read here so far, the one book everyone needs is a dictionary... I counted two spelling mistakes on the front page on your article section I'm going to get some horrible reputation as a sp
sentence fragment loser I counted 11 grammatical errors in your post. I'd normally not do that, I think forums are a place where you can relax, the linguistic equivilent of wearing jeans and a scruffy t-shirt. A little hypocritical to not practise what you preach though. <TABLE cellpadding
Something to think about: Linux has already been struggling for years and is making leaps and bounds I don't really want to argue this point as i'm a big supporter of *nix in general. It's a stretch to say it is coming on leaps and bounds in relation to windows desktop users though. It's difficult to
Really cool seeing so many peoples setups and how so very different they all are. I don't have pictures of mine but I have to at least try and muscle in on this thread with some specs AMD 2ghz, cooled by three fans, one suspended in the case by string (dont ask) three quarters of a gig of DD2700 (really annoying not being able to say 1gb) Geforce 5200 ultra (I like to pretend the ultra makes all the difference) Three screen se

When it's all boiled down, we're saying very similar things Absolutely we are and I agree with most of what you've said all along. It could be more accurate to say however that we agree on the same point looking in different directions and I don't think were going to change each others minds there. Yo

for some reason, I'm not getting this episode to show up on iTunes. I'm having to manually DL it from the website. Any ideas why? I think that is because it isn't strictly a podcast yet, it's just a snippet from the full thing which I believe will be available as a true podcast sometime today.
You can't really use the defence that because you may buy in the future, it's ok to take it now. Lets put all other data aside for a moment and just focus on music and video as these are the two most common types of files shared over p2p. If I connect to a p2p program and download some music and video, while downloading I'm sharing with others. Legally I'm breaking a law and some would say I'm stealing. If I record a TV show onto
Remember VHS VS Beta? You should not get that confused with Betamax. Betacam is a professional format used for broadcast. While the tapes look identical to Betamax, and in fact will play in betamax recorders, when a real betacam tape is used in a betacam recorder the tape runs much faster and records

what I'm trying to say is that our instincts and senses compare poorly to those, more sharply honed ones of our hunter gatherer ancestors, because progress created easier lifestyles which continually required them less and less, and I'd hate to see future generations lose even more, because too great a dependence on virtual world
Looking forward to the full episode. I'm surprised more people haven't commented about this, I find these podcasts to be incredibly interesting. My only complaint, and it's not really a complaint at all is the overall reluctance to delve too deeply into subjects for fear that it may alienate listeners who didn't know enough to follow. A good example of this would be the discussion about GDI. I learned much I didn't kn
