General Chat / Too much gaming
September 14, 2005, 02:18:33 AM
Quote from: Phelerexi'm totally addicted to the zelda games. i even figured out how to play zelda's lullaby on my clarinet.
I made the hylian shield as a larp shield. It's a scaled up design that I printed out, then I made each individual shape, got the correct colors of duct tape, cut and heat molded the plastic base into the correct form, then padded it and did placement of the patterns. Now I just need to make the master sword... but I'm waiting until I master the arts of latex weapons... then I'll remake my shield, and make the master sword!

Rock on Zelda!

Knowhow Trading Post / Java references?
September 14, 2005, 02:13:16 AM
Hmm... that's quite allright. I haven't even really cared too much about my classes projects. It's annoying that I must write things in Java for a game programming course that doesn't truely teach major aspects of game programming. Rather, it's simply making 3 games in the course of the term. No teaching of general good design practices, no information about writing design documents, nothing about target audience... GAH! What sort of game programming course doesn't teach or at least hint at those!

The funny thing about thought is, sometimes people put too much or too little into things, but who's to say what is enough?

I would also like to have more free time! In the sense that I have very little to myself. If you'd like to take it literally and give me time in it's essence, that's fine too. :)

A lot of that has to do with the video card and memory as well.

Hosting Q&A / Combined websites
September 13, 2005, 04:17:13 AM
I don't blame you. It's a compromise to your sites security if you give the password out to ANY person. Kinda a "at your own risk" type thing. It's like, if I asked Xepher for the servers root password... it'd compromise system security and would 10 chances outta 10, not happen. Just make sure you understand the risks involved before doing this.

You could build a system on your webspace that allows multiple users from an interface rather than the actual account password. I'm sure there are plenty of php driven tools like such available.

Never tried dell laptops... perhaps next time that's what I'll aim for.

I agree, It took me awhile to figure out that it was changing until the text appeared.

Also, being the letters have no outline, they seem to blend a lot into the background at the sides.

I myself have had bad luck in HP's, Compaq's, and Toshiba's. I'd recommend a Sony Viao system over those brands myself. Simple, HP's really suck... they are always low end systems that can't preform very well.

Compaq and Toshiba laptops, at least the one's I've had, seem to have issues with power loss. Each system I had did this, and even when sent into the warranty repair shop and they claim to "fix" the problem, it still existed when it came back. Yes I know how ot treat a laptop, in that they are more fragile than desktops and really need their ventellation.

Just speaking from my experience. I found that repairing my own laptop ended up being the best solution, until the screen got cracked I didn't have any issues after I repaired it (the problem on my Toshiba happened to be the damn processor fan, something that must've been overlooked all 6 times it went to the shop, in addition to way WAY too much processor grease). Their solution was normally to just replace the motherboard. Horay for outsourcing to people who aren't truely qualified!!

Considering that they have designed a working exoskeleton in Japan, this doesn't seem too far off in the next 10-15 years. It's scary when scifi starts to become uncomfortably close to reality.

Oh, a botnet... BLAH!




QuoteYeah, but it's gotta be sourced from one person... whom should burn and suffer in a firey pit of damnation and fury.... or simple be thrown in prison for LIFE.

Honestly though, hackers... WHY? Why put your skills to such poor use like breaking into systems? Wouldn't it make more sense to develop something really clever that could actually be used and make millions?? No.. people are far too stupid to think about that aspect, they'd rather make others lives miserable for no reason at all.

What I want, and this may be crazy but is still possible with many years of payments, is a Hummer H3 or H1. Yeah, crazy thoughts with the gas prices, but meh it's more fun!

The tablet screen that you linked is quite attractive. I think it'd be awesome to have one of those, it seems like computer art could be more natural off something like that.

I'd also like to have a (call me crazy) platinum edged, titanium, lazer refined edged katana with a small dagger (made the same) hidden within the handle.

and.... the time to finish coding my site! Damn classes... *grumble grumble*

Any chance that you could report this system trying to hack you?
