  1. 3D animation is modeled in (sorry) 3 Dimensions. The software uses an X, Y, and Z coordinate plane to draw the surfaces. Then when the scene is animated, the character (or whatever) moves across a 3D world.

     

    Think about it this way. If you have a 3D world you can move the camera anywhere around the scene to, say, look at the character's back.

     

    In 2D animation you only have an X and Y plane. Like drawing on a flat piece of paper. The camera can only move up and down and left and right.

     

    This make sense for the laymen?

  2. from zdnet:

     

    The 203MB file expands to just under 660MB. The entire source code is believed to be about 40GB, meaning that the file circulating would be only a fraction of the full code base--if it is authentic.

     

    from eweek.com:

     

    BetaNews has learned that Thursday's leak of the Windows 2000 source code originated not from Microsoft, but from long-time Redmond partner Mainsoft. The leaked code includes 30,915 files and was apparently removed from a Linux computer used by Mainsoft for development purposes. Dated July 25, 2000, the source code represents Windows 2000 Service Pack 1.

  3. ha ha - you're going to that? The ad is too much. All the pictures of gaijin guys with quotes like:

     

    "You have to plant the seeds for love to grow!" - Jason C.

     

    "Looking forward to meeting you!" - Callum R.

     

    And my favorite:

     

    "Alright, Alright, Alright..." - Blake S.

     

    And then the pics of genki J girls saying:

     

    "I'm looking for a boyfriend!" - Yuka K

     

    "I love to have fun and meet people!" - secret

     

    "I love Valentine's Day" - Kumiko T.

     

    gag!!

     

    Have fun buddy. I'll be staying as far away as I can. (Strangely enough I'll be in Urawa ;\) )

  4. I think Niseko is due for some sad news sometime soon. People assume that they open the peak when it is safe to ride but that has nothing to do with it. They open the peak when the weather is nice. It could dump a meter overnight and then clear up in the morning and you'd see people hiking up at 8:30. Hello!? Those back bowls and even little traps like Jackson's are just primed for trouble.

  5. I do not own any back country survival gear but I am now equipped with a fair bit more knowledge. Now I know it is defintely worth investing in the gear. I am planning to outfit a BC pack this summer with beacon, probe, shovel, slope degree measuring device (crucial!) and more. I'm also planning to get some shoes to get to where I can justify having that stuff. Pocket book won't allow for it this year, but now I am aware of what kind of foolishness I have engaged in in the past. That said, if I had it to do over it would have been hard to keep me from dropping in. 'Tis the the paradox we face as powder seekers.
