Is there a name for the 3D art style shown in the screens? It seems just like pixel art with small palettes applied to low polygon models. But I really like it!

I think this is worth figuring out for your local shop. But Starbucks!? Perhaps I'm the only one who doesn't think our top priority should be having more empathy for a billion dollar company.

Well, crap sorry. That's what I get for not reading. I really didn't think that part was going to be revisited. I suppose I get frustrated when it is assumed anyone can get into a top tier university. That never seemed like a remote possibi

I came up with something pretty similar while generating items. However, the following code gets pretty hard to read with lots of items because the values don't line up. And while balancing, you will want to be able to read and modify it v

I suppose I meant new acronyms. It's certainly not impossible, as you have pointed out, but I don't have high hopes for people. Hell, most people can't understand how REPLY ALL works. On the other hand, if they were using an email client

Twitter? Seriously though, I'd rather have this built into an email system than relying on people to start understanding and following acronyms.

I watched this lecture recently http://youtu.be/-IUe3ce_29I which talked about how hard it is to do image recognition at low resolution. One solution is a "fovea" system that scans an area for interesting items and zooms in on them with a

I was almost convinced this was a spoof of "Physicist proposes new way to think about intelligence." Not only is the title nearly the same, but both are essentially boiling the subject down to entropy.

The funny part is fans mix gases and prevent exactly the scenario they're accused of causing in fan death (assuming we're talking about asphyxiation and not hypothermia... the hypothermia concern is beyond ridiculous). I don't think I've ev

I was actually wondering yesterday if this would happen. You'd have to be living under a rock for those pictures not to get back to you. And when they did why wouldn't you immediately come forward and say "it wasn't me." [Sorry for being un

That's interesting. I haven't been following Runescape, but the VC purchase makes a lot sense. I had a lot of fun with the original Ace of Spades. It was an amazingly fun minecraft-like FPS. I was excited when I heard Jagex was picking it u

The speeding data, yes. I don't know where I'd get access to the 21 killed or maimed though beyond the story. But sure, I probably don't have a good reason to believe the numbers are inaccurate.

I think it'd be cool just to see how related I am to any given person I meet. I don't know how likely it is that someone would actually use this for its intended purpose though.

Yea, I was quite confused by the word replicate here. I thought it specifically meant the results in the original were valid.

I guess I don't really disagree with you on that, especially if you're specifically targeting nontechnical users. However, the thought of someone reading this and choosing something like an all numeric password does freak me out because....
