Stick It Up Yer Nose!

...which is exactly the kind of thing we need to know. I mean, do people want fire than can be fitted nasaly?

The Encyclopedia Galactica

#684 posted by pushplay on 2003/03/29 03:33:14

... defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With."

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes," with a footnote to the effect that the editors would welcome applications from anyone interested in taking over the post of robotics correspondent.

Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that had the good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future defined the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."

Mmmm Panoramic Screenshots

These were done simply with the F12 key, some right-arrow-key taps and gentle mouse movements

I wish I could have all the shots in the same perspective though... I think I'm going to do shots like these for my maps.

Hmm

Trouble with PQ deleting stuff is that there was a lot of decent information out there. Just 'coz something is no longer updated doesn't mean the information isn't just as valid as it was the day it was written.

Hehehe...

The carnage starts Sunday 3pm EST.

Describing Levels To Non-Geeks

#697 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/03/30 17:58:31

So, when you tell someone that you're a mapper, how do you describe it to them? Do you use any similes or metaphors? If so, what are they?

Use The Standard Imp1dm6

#698 posted by zzjzz on 2003/03/30 18:09:19

Just use the normal one.

Building A New Pc...

What would you recommend based upon reliability/performance?
What would you suggest to avoid?

From:

CPU's, hard-drives, mice/keyboard, graphics cards, motherboards, RAM, CD-ROM and CD-RW drives, monitors?

Yes yes, I'm searching pricewatch.

Mapping

#701 posted by nb on 2003/03/31 00:16:44

It's like architecture plus interior decorating, but with more dead bodies.

and more crates

Here's The Current PC-parts List

#703 posted by . on 2003/03/31 04:02:12

Please give me your thoughts on this list based upon what you know of the reliability, etc (not your personal opinion):

I need to go sleep for work now zZzzz

Thanks

Suggests..

#704 posted by GibFest on 2003/03/31 12:12:56

avoiding ebuyer.com as you get your parts late and with possibility of damage. DABS on the other hand are very good.

Whatever you do, don't skimp on your motherboard, get a decent one.

I'm A Coder

#705 posted by Wazat on 2003/03/31 14:09:36

When people ask what coding's like, I tell them I weild absolute control over an entire game universe. Every faucet of its so-called "reality" is in my merciful hands.

This, notably, is not true, as I do run up against limitations, and I'm not as good as I'd like to be. But it does sound reeeal goood at a job interview (i.e. "Wow! You're hired!"). ;)

If only I were all-powerful in reality.

Reminds me of another Hitchhiker's Guide quote:
"In summary, anyone capable of obtaining absolute power is the least suited to have it. In summary to the summary, people are a problem".
(or more or less like that)

...

#706 posted by Kell on 2003/03/31 14:33:46

Every faucet?

#707 posted by metlslime on 2003/03/31 15:23:55

...but the kitchen sink
