Exactly. That's the point. Perhaps, but a good counter example would be the PS1 (a 32-bit system) which didn't die when the Nintendo 64 came out two years later or when the Dreamcast (a 128-bit system) came out four years later, it only died when the PS2 came out. So it would seem that your...

Even though the three companies deviate a little in launch date, their consoles are still considered part of the same generation. The 360 isn't obsolete now just because there are newer consoles on the market. The consoles don't come out in order of progression. The Wii was released after the...

Isn't that the way pretty much all electronic gear works? You get a new graphics card then five minutes later there's a better one out that makes yours obsolete. Actually, the console industy typically evolves in waves (or generations) that occure about every 5 years. Example: NINTENDO...

Not to be a fan boy / Apple whore but have you considered getting a Macbook Pro and putting Boot Camp on it? If you build one to match the specs of the HP it'll cost you allot less (especially if you get 3rd party RAM and a student discount). I've heard Acer has a pretty bad track record on...

I've never undrstood why people get laptops for gaming. I've only seen people use them to throw their college tuition money down the drain as they play WoW in the middle of lectures.

Macs aren't always more expensive than PCs. Now a days I'm pretty sure they're about equal in price (infact I just configured a Dell and Apple to equal specs and the dell was about $400 more) All you have to remember is DONT BUY RAM FROM APPLE because it's expensive as hell. I like Macs...

No. 1 is the best in my book. Put the hair back on the penis and find a new publisher if that's what it takes. (I'm not sure about the kiddie porn though. You should probably leave that one out)

Does 3dsMax have radiocity?

A good rule of thumb is; when you increase reflection, decrease diffusion. A mirror will typically not have an intrinsic color because it reflects color from it's surroundings. I would shy away from reflection anyway. Computer algorithms for reflection aren't very good. You're usually better...

I was thinking about something along the lines of "Viva Guerra" because of the whole "war never changes" line and it looks like "Viva Guevara". But that really makes less sense the more I think about it.

Well... I was hoping to make millions from T-shirt sales. What with all the ravenous fans in this forum :wink: No, I have no objections. In fact, I'd like to see how it looks. Are you planning on adding any text? I couldn't think of anything clever. Thanks Wooz.

The way I see it, advances in medicine and improved safety measures have relived allot of evolutionary pressure on the human race. I believe evolution through natural selection has been more or less halted, as far as humanity is concerned. NOTE: This is the point where my ideas about...

Fixed the mustache a little. I'll think about making shirts. I'd like to do screen prints but I have little time and I'd either need to learn how to do it myself or get my brother to help. Does anyone know of a high-quality T-Shirt website? The only one I know of is Café Press, and I'm not sure...

Here's my atempt at CheBoy without a smile:

*sigh* It would make a nice avatar, wouldn't it?

The yellow thing on the hat was a star untill I vectorised the pic and it lost all it's detail. Here's a fixed version: I don't think it would work without the smile but I might give it a try when I get some more free time. p.s. Sorry about stealing your idea/thread Schuljunge. minor...

Cool Idea! Try making the hair black. Like so...

From what I've read, nuclear winter isn't caused by the explosions ejecting material into the atmosphere but by the firestorms that would burn all the forests, suburbs, etc. surrounding targeted areas. If nuclear winter has been 'disproved' could someone provide some links?

Don't get too caried away with screen brightness. That's my advice. When you go into a store the TVs that are "bright enough" look dim as hell and the ones that look pretty bright tend to be like watching the sun. It's hard to get a good Idea of how bright a screen is b/c sales floor lighting is...

I liked Shadow Run allot when I used to play it (which wasn't all that much and was a long time ago). I thought the rule system was fun and IIRC you can ignore all the magic stuff and non-human races if you want and still have a good experience (at least that's how I played back when I was a...
