Reply to myBoard : The Mac OSX Dashboard on Windows in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

I'll be honest here, I doubt that this approach will work. Find a way to interoperate with existing widget engine, be it Yahoo! Widgets/Konfab, the actual OSX dashboard widgets, DesktopX, or Kapsules. Requiring people to use an IDE like Visual Studio is unwise for creating widgets and it will require the widget creator to be a programmer, not necessarily a user. Also, .NET 3.5 is another problematic choice...the download for XP users is ridiculously huge, and it requires a download for Vi

Reply to Dear MozDev, WHAT Were You Thinking? in Internet WinCustomize Forums

I find the searching to be vastly useful, and if you need to see the download location, just right click any file. Firefox 3 was an attempt to make a 'native' feel for each browser inside of each OS. My theory is that they made this window uniform for all versions so users could easily switch between the browsers on different OS's and know where things were. If this is really bothering you, perhaps bring it up to the Mozilla developers themselves on their mailing list or irc.mozilla.org.

Raytracers, snowflakes, and Pac-Man, oh my! in Software Development JoeUser Forums

So yeah, this is pretty much what I've been up to for the past, oh, 3 months/1 quarter of school. These are a few of the projects I've done for my Computer Graphics 2 class (which I just got an A in, booyah!) First up, the classic CG application, a ray tracer complete with phongphongphong shading, procedural shading on the floor, reflection, transmission, and even

Name change! in Community WinCustomize Forums

Hey folks, this is the skinner/programmer formerly known as DoctorNick. I'm in the process of changing my online identity to 'qrush' to stop the Simpsons references, misinterpretation of my credentials, and to avoid confusion with another popular guy on the interwebs who goes by the handle 'drnick'.

Reply to So do any of you use Twitter? in Blogging Stardock Forums

Hey there! Add me! http://twitter.com/doctornick I've been twittering now for a month or so. Maybe longer. But I've gained quite a following, and I enjoy meeting new people and networking through Twitter. I somehow managed to get on this list of the 'twitterati' as well: http://twitter.alltop.com/ Nice to see some more people on it! :D If you need

Reply to Will only Catholics get to Heaven? in Religion Stardock Forums

I consider myself a practical Catholic (yes, I go to church, not every Sunday though :(, and I'm a minister/lector and active in my community), and I wholeheartedly disagree with this viewpoint. There are many paths to salvation in my opinion, and we Catholics have chosen just one. To completely disregard all other faiths is utterly irrational and very close-minded. I encourage you to perhaps look into some of the belief systems in the world and familiarize yourself with them, be it Judaism,

Reply to Rock Band Rocks. in Console Games Stardock Forums

Wow! This could be a blog reaction in its own right. You do bring up a great point, that the games have different focuses entirely. If GH4 is filled *only* with Aerosmith songs that will be very disappointing, imo, and I definitely won't purchase it. Great point too about how overdrive/star power works in RockBand compared to GH: it is a HUGE improvement and really makes the experience better. Thanks for reading and putting in your...2 cents? More like 20 dollars :)
