I was half expecting to see a reference to Chris Morris's recent film Four Lions. That film has been dubbed "controversial" here in the UK precisely because its protagonists are portrayed as nitwits, albeit nitwits with bombs.

Will Unity be allowed to include mono's .NET runtime as their scripting host then? There's little practical difference between that and a game scripted with Lua.

I don't quite understand that page. What does 8GHz mean? Would these nodes be suitable for compute-intensive work (eg ray-tracing)?

Aside from Apple vs Google, David Mitchell discusses this curious form of expression with graphs and what-not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om7O0MFkmpw

Ken makes good points, but don't think for a moment that DSLR video isn't going places. Sam Nicholson, for instance, has Canon's R&D people at his disposal. They furnish him with nice shiny things like HDMI monitor output and manual foc

Very cool video that seems to have inspired a lot of people. Farsthary's now working hard on "unlimited clay" for Blender's sculpt tools: http://farsthary.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/unlimited-clay-scu... http://farsthary.wordpress.com/2010

Congratulations on great work! Alas Chrome had been unusable for me on Linux for the last couple of months... but this post just spurred me to find out why. Turned out my bookmark file was large - 6,000 items - with one particular bookmark

Exciting headline; miserable experience. We're sorry, an error has occurred in our application. So now I've finally given up after the tenth attempt. I guess O'Reilly won't be selling me that copy of Building Scalable Websites after all

Red's R3D codec was a modified JPEG2000. Perfect for its primary application, but intraframe only and a patent minefield. http://peter.schlaile.de/redcode/ Great company and kit though.

Removing operator overloading makes vector and matrix math deeply unpleasant - something that this kind of "creative coding" tends to use rather heavily.

That's rather damning. As a casual but curious user, I "got" ØMQ and was up and running from a one page tutorial. AMQP left me scratching my head for longer. It didn't seem quite as orthogonally structured. It just wasn't UNIX.

Helvetica is the font for the rich and wealthy; Arial is the same for the rest of us. Quite. Microsoft did the world a great favour - flaws and all. Arial is The People's font, and one of these days someone cool and respected may even mak

It's easy to inadvertently reveal personal information to the entire internet using email. Claire Swire, Peter Chung, Trevor Luxton and countless others can vouch for this. The point-to-point nature of mail communication (and text messaging

So I guess Anonymous is more like a "brand name" for unconnected groups that perform terrorist actions and have a loosely shared ideology, rather than the title of any distinct, traditional faction having a centralised control and command.

Interesting that there has been no response from Beijing yet. We're all waiting for them to add the now-unfiltered google.cn to the firewall, but doing so would be in some way accepting Google's argument - making them look weak. I guess the

What is this, an episode of Lie To Me? :-) Government spies in the Shanghai office stealing Google's source tree seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I guess China will just build their own Google now...

Brand? That makes it all sound rather soulless :-( It's just a personal page. I use to keep contact with friends and share photos and random musings, like twitter with a few extras. Unless you're being ultra-cynical, I don't think everyone

Facebook users are an odd bunch. They'll bitch about privacy, turn their privacy settings up to max en masse, and form angry Facebook protest groups at every little change in the company's policy. Then they'll go and sign up to a bunch of s

I got the feeling that was the subtext. But maybe I'm reading subtleties which aren't there. It's all a bit ambiguous - the last paragraph, the conclusion, doesn't really tie in.

Isn't this protectionism? Socialism would have given us a State Sugar Company, which we could then privatise in the name of efficiency, and end up paying massive subsidies to protect the workers when the private buyers threatened to shut it

Isn't this just a link to the om.nimp.org site? That's a joke site that's been around for a few years now I think. Popular with 4chan trolls - it's a hoax redirect like rickroll or goatse. Someone would say, "check out this site for the pro

In euro style fast trains, you arrive 2 minutes before, walk in, you can go have a meal, there is electricity for your laptop, there are toilets everywhere. Or for those stuck on last Friday's Paris-London Eurostar, not so much toilets ev

> The way the TSA is actually doing things, however, is simply to ask "what did the last terrorist do? OK, ban that." Though what he did was walk onto a plane with a block of semtex. They should try addressing that before restricting in

I agree, but I'm still kind of an Mac noob so maybe I'm just doing it wrong. The two things that irk me most: having to hit that tiny triangle at the bottom right of the window to resize it (compare to Linux/etc window managers' shortcut of
