Ketamine has been known to be "psychologically dependent" with heavy use - I guess the real world might seem a bit dull for some after all the crazy things that happen in the K-hole. But very heavy users can also experience extreme bladder

Do you write old-and-busted OpenGL or new-hotness OpenGL? Seems fairly clean to me when you leave out all that legacy crack the CAD vendors can't seem to give up.

Valve are quite concerned about Microsoft's moves with the Windows 8 Store. Linux is a less risky bet than you might think. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/07/steams-newell-windows-...

The abundance of awful OpenGL drivers is one of the reasons given for the ANGLE project ( http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/ ). I've often wondered what those cards are though? NVIDIA drivers at least always seemed to have solid OpenGL

First of all, this looks great. But is there a reason to use this custom BinaryPack format, over another binary JSON-alike such as msgpack, which already has a lot of bindings in other languages?

Yeah, you wouldn't think so though, given the one-digit difference in name and the way they place it right next to the PA248Q in their marketing materials. That's marketing departments for you, I guess. Thanks for the tip on Trace Free. It

I bought a PA238Q a while back, and I use it now as my second monitor. It has incredibly bad persistence... like 20 to 30 seconds of afterimage when I move a window full of text out of the way. Plus the backlight bleed on a black screen is

Is there any open-source, royalty-free technology you can think of that comes with a legal indemnity against patent lawsuits?

It's $4.99. I'm struggling to think what kind of software you used to be able to buy for that kind of money.

I had a CEO once who used to say "execute" a lot. I didn't really know what it meant either but it felt exciting when he said it. Sometimes I say it myself in the shower, when there's no-one within earshot.

I agree, it gives the device some serious cachet. "The new Galaxy Nexus - a phone so good they had to ban it." Apple claims your product is a serious competitive threat. What better stamp of quality approval can you get?

Can't wait! But until then... Has anyone been using nginx <1.3 to proxy WebSockets using the TCP proxy module (nginx_tcp_proxy_module)? Anyone know from experience if it's a workable solution?

This equivalent to TrueType hinting, right? It's funny that hinting went out of fashion over the years, mainly due to a fairly sensible argument from Apple that displays would get better - which they undoubtedly have if you look at an iPad

That's great to hear, I've always wondered about using API for custom editors. Are there any particular packages or Python files in the distribution that you'd recommend reading through as get a good introduction to the necessary parts of t

I threw my last pack away last year, due to the emergence of a nasty side effect. I'd used it to power through a few insane projects, and had what I would call a decent "honeymoon period": get up at 4am, brain so groggy it was hard to tie m

Same here. I also had to symlink libnotify.so.1 to get it to start (Mint 12).

“I hope to see … a window of opportunity for Hollywood to come to the table and talk to Silicon Valley with a little more humility.” I couldn't help smile at this comment from Jimmy Wales - it really does show there's been a power shift. It

It's funny how (to me, at least) the Impress.js deck works, but the Coca-cola one doesn't. Not just a matter of duration, there's something in the animation. Maybe it's the little things like the way the Impress.js animation emphasises the

For what it's worth, thanks for that detailed article. I've just used Coffeescript for a large-ish WebGL project and had no idea of that behaviour. I got freaked out when I got to the bottom of that first fragment and saw log vs log. I'm go

Plenty of games run in the browser already, without 3D. There are also plenty of use cases for in-browser 3D that aren't game-related. See Google MapsGL or the Google Body Browser. It has huge potential for education in the sciences - I've

Fantastic! Looks like desktop colour management is finally starting to happen for Linux. I don't really feel like I trust the low end commercial offerings anyway - at least this will be something that can be examined.

Me too. Asks me "Who are you? We need a contact for you.". I fill in the contact form, press done and it crashes. Start it up again and it's the same story.

The Occupied lifestyle, says Mr. Knowles, is a lot cheaper than real life: "I might go home with more money than I had." So they're actually all just doing it for the money. I'd got the impression they were protesting about the mechanic
