[Latest RSS Content for All Communities | Second Life] The New WindLight Viewer... PONDERING AESTHETICS (76116 ...: But as we were implementing real, directional, and atmospheric lighting, this was giving us all sorts of problems. Because avatar brightness had always been artificially much higher than the surroundings, avatar textures and skins were at their base much darker than their surroundings.

[Second Thoughts] Second Thoughts: Meet Me in Second Life?: Oh, BTW Intlibber is banned from this blog, too, for the simple reason that he causes me damage in SL, by supporting the goons and b/tards who constantly grief me and disrupt my tenants. He was also a driving force behind griefing me on the Herald, constantly inciting demonstrations to have me "fired" (er, I quit anyway), constantly heckling me in the comments.

[TrekMovie.com] Star Trek Teaser Trailer Online Now + New Viral Site [UPDATE + ...: 469 Sorry but I disagree The scale is about right, You are confusing machinery and lateral bulkheads with individual decks, The crouching figure wielding in the foreground is next to impossible to get an accurate sense of the height of a standing person. But even taking the spit-ball guess at the width at the shoulders to approximate the size of a standing person, it is roughly the same as what we see in ST:TMP which is.

[Latest RSS Content for All Communities | Second Life] Removal of Ratings in Beta - Features - Second Life Blogs: So what you have is a massive database that has an entry with 2 names (rater and person rated), a number indicating the category they were rated in, a number indicating positive or negative rating (or rating of zero, from when you could cancel/change ratings), and the date when the rating occurred. A total of 4 individual database checks is needed per profile, which means it has to check through this huge database not once, but four times, and go through every person who matches one at a time to check whether it's a positive or negative rating, as well as an if/then comparison on the date the rating occurred.

[Television Tropes & Idioms - Recent Changes] Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale - Television Tropes & Idioms: The Marvel comics actually delved into the history of the war during those four million years in some detail, chronicling the rise and fall of multiple Deception and Autobot commanders, the raging of the battles over vast distances of the planet, and the gradual pushing back of the Autobots on every front, until by the time contact is reestablished with Optimus Prime and co on Earth, the war on Cybertron has effectively been over for several thousand years and the Autobots are no more than scattered guerrilla bands fighting on against all hope. The comics also seemed to postulate at one point the existence of many other Transformer factions and neutral forces other than Autobots and Deceptions who rode out the war, but this idea was seemingly later abandoned with those factions not being mentioned much past the Target: 2006!

[Rock, Paper, Shotgun] Rock, Paper, Shotgun: " I want to make a mechanical bull" » The ...: I don’t care about Spore one way or the other since on the one hand i have friends who say it’s a boring, empty game and on the other i can’t abide the limited installs, online authentication crap either. But just for the sake of argument, if i did care about the game i might be a little peeved that they’re adding in square planets and harping on about them when there are unfixed bugs in the game.

[Wii Game Review » Reviews] Onslaught Wiiware review: After you’ve setup base you soon respond to a distress communication from the original crew and so you head back to base camp to equip up but typically just before you get there you bump into a nasty bunch of robotic insects (Cyborgs) but thankfully you’re carrying a gun with just enough ammo to shoot to protect yourself with. So your mission is simple, find out what happened, kill as many of these devious Cyborgs as you can and escape before the nasty critters kill you instead.

[Clickable Culture] Clickable Culture - 'Second Life' Land Baron: Reject Linden Lab ...: So, sorry, if they go to flat tier they can expect an even greater and fiercer fight than they did with telehubs -- it would mean that they decided they want no more land business at all. That's fine, we don't have to pay huge tier bills any more, and let them take on the headaches of a million little 512 m2 trouble tickets and complaints that "your land ate my house" because people can't understand autoreturn on day one.

[dykestowatchoutfor.com] dykestowatchoutfor.com » Blog Archive » rodent composting, iowa: I recently read an acquaintance's blog (”ethical society”), where she writes abt end of life issues, including “green burials” ”” e.g. tossing yerself into the ground sans box, or heck, just into a giant heap of compost! ...... Quite a few are natural ingredients, but it includes all the artificial colours, flavourings, preservatives etc food manufacturers insist on pumping into our foodstuffs. There's been quite a bit of controversy in Britain about them as parents have ...

[Coding Horror] Coding Horror: Why Does Vista Use All My Memory?: The only time I would maybe like to put the superfetch back off would probably be if I decide to cut some huge video or audio files but till I dot try that I cant say If maybe superfetch would be that smart and empty the memory for me recognising that I am going to need it. So so far I have to tell that I never had such a great and fast desktop experience like now and I went through windows 3.xx, 95, 98 se, millenium, xp but not the linux thou..

[mental_floss Blog] mental_floss Blog » What's the nerdiest thing you've ever done?: Oh, there was the time I studied abroad in New Zealand, went to several LOTR film sites, and took pictures with my friends reenacting certain scenes (then comparing them with screenshots from the movies when I got home). ...

[Mark's Blog] Mark's Blog : Using Rootkits to Defeat Digital Rights Management: I mean, it is ok for MS to hide keys in registry, it is ok for all kinds of software protection to hide loads of sh** in registry of MY computer, it is fine that MS enforces you with IE, its fine that ASPack fills you with junk, it is ok if your registry eventualy gets trashed because all of this, and we are pulling ethical BS when it comes to DT and Alcohol... Great, just great...

[Pet Connection Blog] Pet Connection Blog » Pet-food recall: Hill's Pet Nutrition ...: One cat is diabetic on insulin and therefore at risk for renal failure and we have an appointment for the vet tomorrow for lab work on cats but Hill’s will not respond as to whether they will pay for this testing they have generated, not to mention the worry, concern and potential treatments needed. This is truly disgusting that a large company like this elects to save money to make more profit by getting ingredients from China where they know nothing is tested or checked for contamination.
