Arenanet released a new video today that features some cool game art as well a lot of really awesome game play footage.
I like the piano piece in the movie. I'd love to have some music like that in a game.

pfft.  Who are you calling a porn addict?
People who need 24" widescreen monitors?
2xA4 fits on it, it's portable, 15" 1900x1200.  Excellent for taking notes during a meeting if you aren't a blind mole.

But to be honest, I'm just a pixel junky.  And you'd be too if you saw how fallout 3 looks like on this screen.

Lucidmagic.net seems to be the default.  Typing the IP adress got me the forum.  (http://206.248.136.142/ worked for me right now) If you have a static IP adress we will be able to get here without problems.

I thought it possible, sorry about that.  Shall I make up for it by answering the question?

Melisande is nick I used long ago (+10 years), it comes from the Dutch version of a Belgian cartoon called Melisande (original in French: Mélusine [wikipedia]), it is also the name of the main character.  Cause the name Melisa became special to me, I made the nick shorter.  And cause people are too lazy to pronounce or type more than a single syllable, it became Mel.  Some people make other variations, on GS I often saw Melly, in my guildwars guild everyone keeps calling Melis even when some pronounce it the same as Malis, another guild member.

Eve no Jikan  (Time of Eve)

I came across this (so far) little gem while searching veoh for videos about eve online.  It is from the same director and studio as Pale Cocoon.  The genre is "non-hard science-fiction",  dealing about life-like androids.  One episode is 15 minutes.  For more info: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7998

3 warnings.  Although the 2 available episodes end in a satisfying way for me,  you will have to wait 2 months for each new one.  Avoid the previews at the end is my suggestion.  Some little details are hard to catch on a first watch too.  And for those looking for an overdose of fan service, this is nothing for you.

Voices of a Distant Star (25 minutes)
The Place Promised in Our Early Days (91 minutes)

Both a nice watch if you don't hate science fiction.  But do not read the whole wikipedia pages before you watch them,  they spoil a bit too much.

I have no idea how I missed this topic months ago.

I wonder if it is true/false, why they act like that, if a bear can act like that with a human too (dogs can), etc.

« on: May 30, 2008, 07:29:38 PM »
When looking at performance, I bet there is not much difference between all the gecko-engine based browsers.
I use seamonkey cause it has better security and recent updates.  http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#Mozilla
Other differences between them are hard to point out, that seamonkey looks and feels like mozilla is the very reason why I use it.

The instance is 8 days old.  (I am not watching that much streamed video)
But.. is this browser related or operating system related?  I use the same browser on linux/unix and had a browser instance running for a few months.  With 512MB ram and no swap space.

About 25 streamed videos (10-30 minutes length) in tabs + a few hundred other tabs was what I needed to get 1GB memory usage from my browser.  The operating system is windows 2000 sp4.

In my case, gecko based browsers take a few MB and 0% cpu.  I bet you had a shitload of tabs open at the moment you took that screenshot of your task manager.  If not, then it is abnormal.

« on: May 04, 2008, 04:32:34 AM »
I have to study, am bored and feel like a troll today, to be safe, lets start with some sort of disclaimer.
To those who lack the brains to understand sarcasm in typed form.
Do not dare to read the rest. I will haunt you in your dreams and laugh at you if you reply.


Protests for illegal immigrants by illegals. I am wondering why police dont use those rallys for deportation raids. For fucks sake, I bet not even one in five of those protesters has a green card.

Deportation!

In Belgium, politicians found a solution for this.  They give them papers as a suggestion to vote for them.  It is a solid strategy.  I just love my county for pulling of these things. 

Other solutions include but are not limited to:
- giving them money to shut up (easiest, but does not last long)
- shooting them off (very effective, fat chance your country got more weapons anyway, you are not exporting things you lack)
- telling them that if it is so bad where they are, that they have to protest, then why not return (triggers them into things that gives you excuses)
- get them to work and understand bird control (hard to do if not impossible)
- sterilization (if guns are not civilized to you)
- fix their brains (maybe something for the future)

I believe the solution to those migration problems can be found in the believe that the economy and world population can grow infinitely.  Some pure nonsense on which the human world is build.  Coming from natural evolution that everyone is praising so much for the creation of a species that acts like a cancer on planetary scale.  (I am not a misanthropist, really)


It is easy to laugh at those illegals protesting for illegals, it makes no sense, sure thing.  Finding a correct solution is something else, figuring out who is at fault is something nobody wants.

Sorry, Mo, but LM has been down more times in the past few weeks than I can remember it having been since I joined.
What you remember is far from the truth.  I have spend day and night getting genuine train wrecks running.  The situations that this site faced in the past are almost unreal.

Mo is doing everything well enough, he should only get compliments or constructive criticism.

Computer stuff / Re: Fucking windows seciruty!!!!
« on: March 17, 2008, 05:37:08 AM »
UAC is not really what creates the problem.  Even Vista itself is not the problem, it is nice they try to do something about securety.  Most windows programs are made with the idea that the user running it has (nearly) administrator rights.  UAC is something Microsoft came up with for Windows to fix this, to have a user account for daily use that is not the administrator at the same time with a system that requires no knowledge from the person using it.  But like everything about Vista and most programs made these days, it is too complex.  Basically it is just an example how the design idea of Windows itself backfires.  I hope Windows itself and many programs (including drivers) for it like AutoCAD and MS Office die from their own design and greed that backfires at them.  If it depends on me, the users that expect to own something as advanced as a computer and/or call it their personal tool (PC) without any knowledge of it, can die too.  (especially managers)  I am really fed up with some enterprises, users and the programs resulting from this.

Note: Yea, I am in an extremely bad mood at the moment. I had to stab at something.
Note2: I am not implying violence against the less gifted individuals on the globe, just remove all the safeties and let the problems solve themselves.

Had a little error when posting my previous post.  But aside from the message, the post seems fine.  Attached a screen shot that includes the url.

Edit: had the same thing on this post and the pic didn't get uploaded.
Edit2: it doesn't appear if I edit a message.

The following is for anyone who feels like notifying the community that GS is empty:

There isn't some magic or God that will halt our daily lives and get us on GS for a reunion.  If you're truly interested in a reunion, ask people for their free moments and set a date.  Plan it and pray it works out.  It always irritates me a lot when one or another thinks this sort of things is done easily, be it online or in reality.  And yes, I'm not going to do the effort to get this done.  I lack time and interest for it.

Notes:
Sorry if this all sounds a bit harsh. It irritates me after all.
The times posted here no longer apply.
Thanks for hosting it, Talon.

@Mo
You're talking as if the whole windows operating system isn't anything more than the Application Programming Interface. Calling it "a windows emulator" is therefor an inaccurate description. There are reasons why wine stands for "WINE Is Not an Emulator". Listing it under "emulators" in a distribution tree is reasonable, but for the rpm to have a decent description, it should report "a windows API implementation". You can blame me for nitpicking if you like.
