Yep! And if all it took was a kid with ballzzzz, Sean White would have done this at 12. I mean, he's been sponsored and pretty damn good since he was 6. This kid is naturally talented and its kind of lame and insulting for wired to say "oh, its because he's a kid, whatever". Imagine how great he'll be when he does get…

Then you need to find a new job. Your company is screwing you. If you can make the same amount of money at a different job but go down a level, thats worth it. If you're good at your job, more then anything that opens you up for a promotion and better money, responsibilities, etc.

Totally depends on what you count as a server. Every design firm I've worked for has a mac mini/mac pro tower with OSX server on it. Apple makes it really easy for non-technical people to use centralized storage/render farms/etc. without having to dive into the technical knowhow to manage and set up linux or the…

This works really well with a few additions:

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. I must have heard it wrong.

It's a quad that dedicates 2 cores to graphics, I believe.

He's playing along to a recorded drum track

This is coming from a guy's perspective: While I wouldn't call it abuse, it's toxic and manipulative. The whole "say one thing, do another" only gets worse. The only way I've ever been able to get any real clarity is to call them out on it. The reactions I received from the last two (former fiance and last serious gf)…

As a guy, one of the most dreaded results of the rom-com is the ever upwards moving bar of unrealistic romance. Rom-com proposals have made many of my friends nervous wrecks after asking the girlfriends friend-of's if their idea would be ok. One of my friends was even told that "she might say yes if you setup a…

I think they mean the guy in the tent, but the thumbs up is kinda funny too

@pmankow: Some scanners and programs convert document scans into Vector-based graphics, depending on the content.

@StephenTotilo: IT'S UNCLICKABLE

@lindamller: Do what I did: Cheap ass iPhone dock on Amazon and some velcro. Got myself a charger, aux audio out, and no cables to plug/unplug when I get in or out of the car. Works like a charm and cost me about $5 for my 3GS with free shipping.

@Brookespeed: Yeah, I call bs on this too. I've lived all over Seattle, and I always get bit. If the giant brown ones aren't recluses, I need to find out what they are. Mean as all hell. I was chased by one through my apartment a few months ago, and my dog ended up in the ER after eating one that ran at her.

@yiff: I'm curious about this. Couldn't apple just include a 30-pin to mini USB adapter, one that only syncs and charges, and call it good? I could totally see them doing that.....

@Brian Crecente: One of the best performance boosts you can get is setting up a pair of smaller SSD drives in a Raid 0 setup. We use this setup standard at our studio to run the dev version of our game (a freakin' beast right now!) and it literally cuts load times by about 75%.

@HobbitGamer: Thats probably a bug. Most engines use a LOD (level of detail) system to add higher-res textures and higher poly's when you get close enough to notice. Sounds like somebody might have screwed up a range setting....

@dracosummoner: At ArenaNet all the walls in our concept, character, and environment rooms are plastered with photos and sketches. Also, our hallways are floor to ceiling prints of concept art.

@Matt Kruse: I like Better Facebook, but I like Beautify Facebook better. I think the formatting options are awesome.

@JD: As my pilot friend has pointed out to me, it has to do with paying attention to whats going on. To the FAA, electronics = headphones. Since most accidents happen during take off and landing, they want everyone paying attention, and it would be a major pain in the ass to police who is wearing headphones. So, they…
