I sat next to John in our office for a year or so back in the heyday of podcasting. He was quite the character. RIP.

I was thinking of bananas and banana flavoring too. It may have been a better example than strawberries, but most people don't know how much variety bananas have because they've been so commoditized. It's too good of an examp

15 years ago... They had just released a remake in 2008 for the Xbox, so the IP was certainly fresh in their minds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(2008_video_game) Did they eventually drop the threat or did

There are dedicated turnkey vendors these days, so there's no need to get elaborate. All you need is a U of rack or two and enough cash. Example: https://www.accubeat.com/ntp-ptp-time-servers

It feels to me like everyone is holding their breath to see how the wholesale "AI can replace people" notion pans out. Whether it proves true or not, betting on the wrong result will hit hard so few want to go all in (outside of t

Could be just plain alphabetical. There's a selector for which color name list to use/examine on the bottom of the visualization. There's also a selector for which color space model to use.

Now the problem becomes mobile browsers... (hover vs. tap, tiny resolutions, differences in form controls, sometimes crippled features that work fine in a "pc" based browser, fluid layout choices, float issues) There will always be madness.

What have you needed out of ANSI SQL that is a gap in its Turing Completeness? Totally serious. A great many things can be dismissed as not being Turing Complete, so please provide us with some examples of why this is bad in ANSI SQL.

These words make me close tab for the site I'm looking at right away: "Click to launch site". I came to your website... shouldn't it have launched already? Oh it's not a website - it's a multimedia presentation? Great. That's not what I cam

The phone number and extension is probably what's used to identify where the "sales lead" came from. As for the long-calls, there's probably a minimum connection time before the lead is considered "valid". "aaron" is probably telling everyo

Sorry for the belated reply. Yeah, I saw Atommontage and it's quite interesting. Despite the realism of the track marks left and suspension movement, the truck still seems to exhibit some unnatural "floating" feeling. These are the very pit

The more I think about it, the more I realize that of the three pure voxel problems (rendering, animation and collision), rendering is probably the low-hanging fruit - Though I'm not sure if creating a hybrid poly/voxel engine is any harder

That and I don't know of anyone (outside of using them as particles) that has successfully created collision models with voxels in real time. The collision calculations of just a few of their scanned rocks and a ground plane would be plenty

I don't think you're being too harsh. I agree that newT really doesn't seem like a templating engine - it seems more like a HTML generator. It's a pretty complex hammer to drive a carpet tack. Programmatically constructing DOM from that low

POST can be sniffed and is only slightly less vulnerable than GET. HTTPS at a dedicated address should be a minimum level of security for a login form. Anything else is readily vulnerable to sniffing or spoofing.

Seems to me they're charging for value-add services. From the page you linked: "Building your app is entirely free until you publish it. You do not need to choose your pricing plan until you get ready to publish your app." And that seems on

I contacted Peter and he got back to me. He seems to have settled well with how the cards fell and didn't seem worried about being compensated for things long past. However, if any of you figure out some grand gesture to show appreciation p

I thought it a good idea. His name is Peter Tattam (I did some google-leg-work to find it). His site is at http://petertattam.com/ . I found his name via a report at http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.40.... If thi

Thank you for being the one person here that seems to consider point of view without the fanboy-ism. What people are calling "HTML5" and "CSS3" is really getting nebulous. It's almost as if just mentioning something shiny and new somehow ma

I'm betting he's probably talking about features like having a queue, embed code popups, tweet from within the video and things like that. Such features are considered "basic" in any decent interactive flash based player. For your YouTube e

I'll bite: The problem with the implementation is plain to see: -webkit-transform: rotateY(45deg); That's a proprietary CSS declaration. It's exactly the same kind of "embrace and extend" kind of stuff that entrenched IE6 so long ago and se
