Won't someone please think of the children!?!?! What a load of bull. You must realize that documentaries like these are themselves pieces of marketing. They are playing on your innate sense of protection and caring for children in order to get you riled up about corporate advertising to...

I'm going to have to side with jverne and unezero on this one. This trial is just absurd, and laws of this nature are complete nonsense. You should be able to say whatever the hell you want about anybody and any idea or religion. Nobody has the right not to be offended. Everyone has the right to...

God damnit. While crossing the street, I just stepped up to my knees in a puddle of brown slush that I thought was only a couple of inches high. The only thing worse than several feet of snow is several feet of melting snow.

Prepare for disillusionment with the industry! Oh and nice work.

I don't really like the graphics in this engine. The shading is too garish. The shadows are too dark. Plus you can tell that its really struggling to run at 30 FPS on the Xbox360 in many of those sequences, which is really a mark of poor programming. That said, it does look like an...

Diamond is not a metal.

Criminals perform a crime while wearing a piece of clothing. Does it follow that we should ban the clothing they were wearing? Criminals will commit crimes using whatever means are available to them, and will conceal their identities by whatever means they please. Banning pieces of...

I disagree with him. It isn't her personality or lack of experience we should be concerned about, but her extreme rightist politics -- politics which Mr. Savage shares himself. "Here's an idea for a law, let the CIA kill the enemy abroad without having to go to a lawyer." --Micheal Savage...

3rd day in a row the city of Pittsburgh recommended we cancel classes. This is the only time I've ever had more than one snow day in a year. The snow is slightly above my knees.

Is it (arm wrestling ++), or (regular wrestling --)? As far as I can tell, its a couple of idiots beating each other up, much like wrestling or boxing, but they have to be holding hands while they do it.

There weren't any robots of any kind in the Ender's Game series. It was kind of disappointing in that regard.

I am currently doing some research in robotics, and I have seen quite a few military robots in action. Yes, military robots are viable in combat. The thing is, the military's use of "robotics" is quite different from the academic use. Military "robots" currently in use are in fact mostly...

THX 1138 8.5/10 George Lucas' first big film, and one of his best. The movie is about a post-apocalyptic society living underground that is fully controlled by drugs, automation, and social conditioning. Everyone has a number instead of a name, and all have pre-defined tasks that they must...

The assignment was to make a prototype for a game we'd be developing for the rest of the semester. So yeah, I'll be expanding upon the idea. I'm trying to decide whether or not I should add guns, or checkpoints, or other sorts of goals for the player.

Haha, the zombies don't even know there are walls.

MultiKeyReader and PIDController I made before starting. Everything else was clunked out in the hour before class was over.

Vomited code for an hour for a class. http://www.matthewklingensmith.com/processing/homework1/ Controls are WASD. Avoid green zombies for great justice.

Those specific textures. They are terrible. The cobblestones look pretty good though. The problem I have is the over-use of bump mapping. It creates so much contrast that its actually extremely unrealistic. The engine is simply not capable of creating bump mapping at that resolution which...

We built one of these in robotics club. The front has hinges so you can remove the battery.

Although I hated catcher (felt like I was reading someone's drunken rantings on myspace), I respect Salinger for his work. RIP, you strange, pedophilic recluse. It will be interesting to see if those manuscripts he has locked away will be published.
