Or somesuch shit. Teh. You're welcome. 

In a nondescript Bay Area office park, a converted hard-drive factory with a shiny new fa �ade began churning out unconventional solar tubes that big investors are betting will soon blanket commercial buildings across the world.

Try to imagine the voice of the narrative in the movie reading the paragraph above. 

It's 'orient'.

Verifying what is and isn't a word is pretty easy. 

The whole shit about what is and isn't a valid word is garbage. If someone makes up a word, it's a valid word. Period. That's all there is to it. It doesn't need to be in the dictionary to be valid. The spoken language is pretty fluid like that.

Fo' shizzle.

A pretty professionally made Portal mod taking place some time before the original game. You have to play through 19 test chambers and eventually get to witness the activision of GLaDOS. It even has bonus maps and a developer commentary (in French).

Unfortunately, I found most of the puzzles to be incredibly hard and annoying (some seemed to border on pixelhunting) and eventually ended up noclipping through most of the maps. This is clearly something aimed at the hardcore Portal players. 

If enough people use the wrong word, it's no longer the wrong word. Perhaps that has happened to 'orientate', but I don't think a link to answers.com establishes that.

I wouldn't use it on my resume.

Zwiffle: spoken language is fluid, but people are going to think you are a complete moron if you use poor English in formal writing. 

People will think you're a genius of satire if done correctly. -.- 

Which version of the English language you're speaking.

dude 

that d3 vid you posted looks interesting. might benefit from having different floor levels instead of just one large plane. 

is a word you used in promises...it is valueless 

Doesn't really fit in any of the other categories.

Does anyone know of a 3dsmax grid plugin that causes the object to snap, instead of the pointer?

Currently pointer snapping is worse than useless. 

Make sure you check "Use Axis Center As Start Snap Point" in the snap options (right click on any of the Snap buttons, then go to Options tab).

God I wish max had maya's snap, it's so much more powerful. 

But:

I gave up on max for having accuracy years ago, just wondered if anything had changed or any new plugins surfaced.

Thanks anyway, will continue to google. 

Messing with the new options helps, but its a still a pain in the nuts. 

Try hitting s (for snap) after you've already started moving whatever your moving.
