No, it didn't. Eventually it was rewritten (by fans I think) as Dune2000, and this version did have unlimited unit select.

That's an incredibly reductionist view Now that is a pithy retort I must commit to memory! Ouch.

The technology used in eyetrap and Google's glasses is sufficiently different that I doubt the eyetrap patent is really being infringed by Google. I doubt Steve has the money or desire to take Google to court anyway, and probably holds the

Yep. This resonates. AEs (the Australian A4) all the way through school. I cruised through University getting a weighted mean of 75.1 because that was enough to receive first class honours, and the next step up the reward scale was the univ

Let's hope that changes to "hurry up and fix things".

If you complete round two, the bunny still links to the same fibonacci sequence program. :-( I was hoping for something even more obscure.

Well yes and no actually. Projectors can't produce black (absence of colour) so they typically do so by increasing the contrast with respect to surrounding areas (that, and you turn the lights off). So to draw black text, you need to shine

Oh boy is that dangerous if he ever gets on someone else's computer where safe search isn't activated. :-P

We have tried a few times (before this company was established) and yes, it can be crap. However, we've got a few ideas on how to fix this such as matte overlays, light filters, anti-speckle laser projectors, etc. We're very early stage so

Yeah, robots! I'm a mechatronic engineer with a Ph.D. in robotics from Sydney Uni. I'm entirely sick of the academic rat race, so I've quit to start Triple Point Robotics (www.triplepointrobotics.com) with another colleague from my work, an

That's a fair point. In my defence, I'm not complaining about it, just agreeing with the guy I replied to that I was somewhat disappointed. I was then curious why I was disappointed, and wondered whether my rationale was generalisable. It

Good on ya mate! I'm a fellow Aussie who's just done the same thing - six days to go until I can build my robots full time.

I tend to agree with you on this. It's a great idea, but not an amazing idea. And the reason is simply that we can think of what a better version would look like - polymorphic buttons. I wonder if that's actually a good criteria for definin

This article is flat out wrong. Google's autonomous vehicles do the data collection for Google's autonomous vehicles. They drive ahead of time around every environment in which they want to operate, with a bunch more sensors and more accura

They don't use the iPad touch events when the pen is on the surface, so there's no issue with this whatsoever.

by Schwolop 14y ago
Yeah, palm rejection is better than anything else because they simply don't register iPad touch events when the pen's pressure sensor is activated. The underlying tech is that the pen is an ultrasound transmitter and the attachment has ster

Their webpage suggests they can handle multiple devices connected to the one PC, so I was wondering whether they had another sensor out of shot above the scene pointing downwards. Actually - scrap that. A better hunch is that it's not struc

Likewise, I submitted a dev request. I'm already working with Kinect/Primesense tech to get point clouds and do gesture recognition work, but this could be a cheaper and potentially better option. At this point however, who knows? There's j

You can autoload keys with pageant. You have to change the shortcut in your Programs\Startup folder that loads pageant itself. From memory I think it's as simple as adding the paths (in quotes) space separated after the executable. It's cer

The take-aways to pay attention to here are the upbeat and less snarky parts. Like that a good business guy is worth his weight in gold. I've been networking like a lady-of-loose-morals trying to find one, and it's just as hard as finding
