Trials of Making a Game
May 31st 2007 03:14
Well I sure have come a long way from the last update, I have a semi-completed the goals I wanted to originally and have done some other minorly cool stuff.
Now it may not look like it but the above recquired more coding than the last update, about two to three tiems more in fact. The reason? Animations. I went to hell and back to figure out how to load up animations from models, to hell and back!
Theres also a neato physics system though it is somewhat buggy.

Classmate VS XO-1
May 21st 2007 16:31
This is quite an interesting battle, on the one hand we have Intel with its Intel Celeron M powered Classmate pitted against the XO-1 which is powered by an AMD chip. In terms of raw numbers it seems like Intel's Classmae is the clear winner.

School District Did Not Fire Network Manager For Recommending Linux
May 14th 2007 23:34
The recent story (submitted to Digg) made quite a bit of headway all over the internets, suddenly people were getting fired for recommending open source software by spoiled teachers who don't care about their students wellbeing. I emailed the writer of that same article to ask if Curtis Mason was really fired for recommending Linux. The reply confirmed my suspicion,

Ahmed - I do not have any evidence that Mason was fired because of the Linux switchover and I don't think that is the case. I am going to get a copy of the tech audit today, which was done by someone who works with Linux. That will provide more details.

Screwing With Nature
May 13th 2007 13:47
While we can make great headways in our society we can't fight our physical make up, we can't have sex like rabbits lest we get STD's, we can't prolong our own lives lest we live in misery and we certainly can't have babies at the tender age of 60 lest we be jerks.
Think about it, after thousands of years of developing we as humans have been fine tuned to make babies at a young age, somewhere between 16 and 30 is probably the ideal age, statistically speaking once you reach 40 the chances of you producing mutant offspring increases considerably[ Click here to read more ]

I always thought I was bad at multiple choice tests, really, truly, everytime theres a multiple choice question I'm not so sure about I always get it wrong, if I'm debating if its A or D I always choose the wrong one between the two, it's just my luck, which is to say, not much.
Actually my luck is usually pretty terrible, I was playing a boardgame once and lost everytime, dismally, in an effort to make things fair the other three players decided to give me three rolls of the dice and take the best of the three rolls, simply because I kept on losing because I couldn't get a decent roll, I kid you not, not even after the three rolls would I get something good[ Click here to read more ]

Leaving Behind Google and Mozilla...
May 12th 2007 08:53
When Firefox 2.0 was released it met an extremely warm reception, as if Internet browsing took an evolutionary step up the tech ladder. Though no one cared to look at IE7, it was branded the bastard son of a goat and cow before it ever was released.
I admit I never have actually used IE7, until just two days ago. Having installed Vista on a seperate partition I was worried it would be difficult to move all my work over, especially with rumours circulating of all the bugs and evil souls hidden behind Vista's pristine graphics[ Click here to read more ]

Fox News Viewers Least Educated About World Events

Big surprise, last I checked Fox was speaking of fairies in Iraq. According to the study (conducted by far left wing activists) those who rely exclusively on Fox News for their information are the worst informed about world events in the US.
Of course, given Fox News loves to spin everything to its own end, from claiming Obama is a Muslim (spectacularly proven false) to Civil War being a good thing (how civil war could be good is beyond me, even George Bush isn't stupid enough to try to push that angle[ Click here to read more ]

Arabic Language, Arab Difference
May 7th 2007 14:58
Arabic is a language, an Arab (or Arabian) is a person from an Arabian area. Arabic and Arab cannot be used interchangeably. Understandable that the system is complex, Chinese people speak Chinese and are called Chinese, right? But English speaking people can be American yet we don't say they speak American.

'The Legend of Farfur', or 'Why I Proclaim Checkmate Upon the Infidels'
May 7th 2007 13:42
Note: I have updated the article, the original can be found down below. The reason for the edit is because there was some elements of truth to the original article I was responding to on another blog. Some parts of the original article was in fact false due to my rash reaction, I didn't expect there to ever be a rational response to the original video since it seemed to have picked up momentum with hate sites, inevitably CNN, BBC and other major news outlets did provide the fuller picture.

Again: In law, intellectual property (IP) is an umbrella term for various legal entitlements which attach to certain names, written and recorded media, and inventions.
So long as were letting people show a certain sequence of numbers are we not saying just as well lets all just use leaked source code, let peoples handwork fall into nothingness as we copy and paste it against their permision? Whats the god damned point of intellectual property?
