A lot of the presentation techniques from DICE's upcoming Battlefield 3 borrow very strongly from Mirror's Edge. I was watching a shakeycam video of B3 from last week's GDC and the influence was very apparent. From this interview ( http://w

PAX is more than that. It's a whole other niche. E3 is about the companies. GDC is about the developers. PAX is about the players.

Maybe some folks here with a better understanding of pipes than myself can help me figure out how to do the following using pipes and not a temporary file. I need a minimalist method to format a couple of email headers, append an email body

I've had a serious problem with Gawker sites failing to properly include third-party javascript. Even JQuery. The whole page then fails to load. Definitely how NOT to do things.

When I wrote billing systems for telecoms, Feb 31st was a valid date... after a fashion. Billing cycles were stored as a cycle period "monthly", "quarterly", etc, with a "bill day" offset which was a number 1-31. If your "bill day" was the

Thing is, just jamming on the brakes will stop your car, every time. Your brakes are much more powerful than your accelerator. The problem is when a driver thinks their foot is on the brake, when it is actually on the accelerator. So mash

When I was young(er) a friend cut open a glo-stick and gargled it. "Hey, it says it's non-toxic!" The inside of his mouth glowed for a week. Related: Glo-sticks burst in a shower of (hot) glowing liquid when thrown in a campfire.

That doesn't seem too unreasonable. The actual procedure itself, where the doctor was actually involved with me as a patient, took about 15 minutes.

I'm currently doing full-time development work on a netbook. It's not ideal but it is manageable. It's an MSI Wind running Ubuntu 10.10. Admittedly it's hooked up to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. And I upgraded it to 2GB of RAM

Perhaps I have missed something, but I don't see any contact info in your profile. The email field on the profile page is private to each user - only the about: field is public.

Think I could find that in say... Seattle? Who should I talk to then? I'm not ready to pick up and move to the Valley. Yet.

This sounds like a generally positive, inclusive sort of resolution, but what greater context does it take place in? I admittedly don't know much about what being a Debian Developer means.

As a contrived example, use getpwent, don't parse /etc/passwd by yourself. Absolutely not a contrived example. I still remember some $XXX,XXX-per-installation enterprise software which wouldn't integrate with our LDAP database because it

At my High School, the custodian was Mr. Snodgrass. He was middle-aged but had an amazing mane of shock-white hair, with a shining beard down to his chest. He looked like a total mountain man. His hobbies were civil-war reenactments and pai

If you have an SSD based on Intel firmware, you can use Intel's TRIM utility on Windows XP as well. This is what I'm using on my gaming PC which hasn't been upgraded in ages, except for the addition of the SSD I installed.

A close family friend of mine is an older gentleman with three kids, none of whom are his biological offspring. It is sad how many askance looks he gets from passerby when he is out shopping with his adopted children.

This is valuable information. Do you have any insight into the manufacturing process for garments? I don't yet know enough about the clothing industry and manufacturing so any data points are very welcome. I firmly believe that problems lik

Wow. I had a long, detailed conversation last night with my roommate/potential co-founder about doing EXACTLY this. The way sizing is handled in the clothing industry is ridiculous for women especially, but for men as well according to this

I grew up on the HCFS version and I still think the cane sugar version tastes best. And is more satiating.

Well, I specced out replacement/upgrade parts as costing several hundred dollars and a lot of time reinstalling the OS, restoring from backup, etc. I've done this sort of hardware work before and am familiar with the risks so this was actua

I just desoldered a half-dozen bad caps from my current motherboard and replaced them with new ones from a reliable manufacturer. It was a huge hassle. Fortunately the new caps are a lot cheaper than doing a motherboard swap/upgrade on the
