@ Gekko71 very interesting! So what you're saying is, since this isn't a real alternative, it's more likely that Youtube would use this on top of everything it's already doing with ads or not use it at all. Something like that. To my mind it would gain its best advantage for the advertiser as a che...

I'm impressed by the technology, but no so much impressed by the idea. I've worked in Advertising for 15 years and in buying/selling Entertainment content for 3 years. This technology in my opinion serves neither the advertiser, the content owner, the media or the advertising client particularly wel...

Okay, I'm stumped - any ideas on how this guy achieved this trick?

Australia, and Queensland in particular, has always been prone to flooding - but NEVER this bad. It has been raining non stop for 17 days. Check out his animation of how bad it might get - the river is supposed to peak at 5.5 meters (about 18 feet). This animation goes up to 7 meters. Let's hope it ...

Gekko71

Been there a few times, tho I think your river is trying to 1-up our river. I hope not, because if our river tries to 1-up your river, Fargo could very well be wiped off the map. Brisbane is the most populous and threatened city right now - but it's not just Brisbane that's going to flood Avder. Th...

You don't need to - there is now a free playable demo (of the Pre-Alpha

...BTW Miner Wars is (apparently) being 'featured' by Intelat the GDC in San Fran this coming March.

Make sure you stay in the clear.

Gekko71

Personally, I don't think Miner Wars (at least, with anything close to all the promised features and gameplay) will ever see the light of day. I'm not going to comment on the programming development side, but purely from a business standpoint I would argue that Keen Software House is legally oblige...

Bump. Wikileaks entire collection of leaked diplomatic cables has been acquired by a Norwegian newspaper. They do not say where they sourced the files from. They *do* say that in effect they will release these documents when, as, and if it suits them (Wikileaks has only released 2,000 or so of the 2...

HNY Everyone.

Gekko71

This is probably a PR exercise first and foremost, but as recycling ideas go, this is a doozy!

Gekko71

I find myself curious as to the legal argument the US would use to get Assange shipped to the US to face trial. Lothar made the (IMO accurate) observation that Wikileaks don't seem to follow US law at all. But is Wikileaks even bound by US law if it's not based or registered in the US and the crimes...

I haven’t watched SNL in years, and nothing personal Gekko.

Sorry, can't stop at just 3:

Descent 1-3
HL 2 etc... (replaying these now - love 'em!)
World of Goo - indie puzzle game. Simply brilliant art direction.
Metroid: Corruption
The original Doom
Space Invaders!!
Galaxian
Dragon Quest
Crysis
Portal!!

Good times to be had on all of 'em.

Giving a web page access to Facebook, Twitter and your web cam. Haha, yeah right. Not going to happen. That is allowing yourself to be hacked later. That occurred to me too - but I don't think it's a significant risk. The information on my facebook page is very benign (deliberately) and I use diffe...

There's an apple 1 computer being auctioned off by Christie's with an expected sale price of around $240,000.

I wonder if my old Vic 20 will be worth anywhere near as much anytime soon?
