so it's probably not [all that] cool... If your guesses of probability and coolness are correct?
So, in fact, may or may not be [all that] cool, dependant upon the assumption of coolness being proportional to dedication, and the estimation of an importing process being correct.
I may have spent too long fighting bullshit in meetings at work, sorry.

I once inputted all over Rhapsody In Blue into Finale, but this is way more impressive.

but it this there plan for their own phone based iTunes, but with DRM which no-one is using anymore? Meaning everyone will have to buy all their music again every 18 months?

with added micro-formats and context-aware imaging (like the sudoku app in the Newsletter).
Which is fair enough, so long as keyboards still have buttons. That's one thing touchscreens will continue to be shit at.

a self animating dog drawn by a child? I was about to say it was one step short of "insert programme name here" But I cant remember its name!
It was a lass that drew things with chalk and then they came alive, and thinking back through the mists of time I'm pretty sure it was voiced by Jenny Eclaire? But her wesite and wiki dont mention any of it, and i can't find any mention on nostalgia sites! I'm not going to be able to sleep now...
Yeah, lots of stuff we'll never see in our life time, and even if we do it will be so painfully slow and anoying it will make us die..
edit- well not most of the stuff im being melodramatic.. but still, self animating dog?!!

The Ushiku Daibutsu located in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, is the world’s tallest freestanding bronze statue. Completed in 1995, it stands a total of 120m above the ground, including the 10m high base and 10m high lotus platform. An elevator takes visitors up to 85m off the ground, where an observation floor is located.

A clickable section by section breakdown of the various forms of Daleks, with tips on how to make your own should you feel inclined. Be aware all the pics within each section are often clickable, as are the red-outlined insets, and often bring up some wonderful period pictures.
I've been having a 'Classic Doctor' fest, particularly focused upon the dalek episodes, lately, and have been turning up some lovely online guides to go with them, and this is one of them.

this is doing my head in.
surly it's a triangle.
it's a closed shape of three straight edges and three angles that add up to 180 degrees.
isn't that a triangle?
EDIT:
oh good lord, it's not straight is it. i thought it was just the curve of my monitor.
that's proper evil.

I thought it would be something really obvious, but that's actually quite clever.

the angles/gradients of the longest sides of the blue and red triangles are not the same (3:8 versus 2:5), but they look the same (= illusion of a straight line) in the arrangements
in the top arrangement, the longest side of the assembled "triangle" kinks downwards where it meets the corner of the yellow shape
in the bottom arrangement, the longest side of the assembled "triangle" kinks upwards where it meets the corner of the yellow shape
the difference in area between the two quadrilaterals (for that is what they are) = the white square in the bottom one
(, Thu 5 Mar 2009, 23:28, Reply)
if you hold a ruler or straight edge up to your monitor, the lines of and around the shaped are straight. Wouldn't the kink show itself if you held a ruler along the perimeter?
EDIT:
I'm sure you're right about that.
i'm sure i have a crap ruler.

I've seen a better quality upload on this very site. But I share your enthusiasm....
...but I hope they do this in the right way. Even the Matrix seems a little dated already (ok, maybe not the first, but parts 1&2 do)...Tron will be awful if they do it wrong. Computers and t'internet have come a long way.

Not so much a fan about the smooth movement of the bikes. In my mind they should be sharp 90dg turns. This is part based on some online game that replicates the bike game in the film. (Side note: Anyone ever play it? If you had I'd dare say I probably pwnt you at it, as we affocionados say.) thus reinforcing the whole 90dg thing; then again, they have to do something new with it.
From what I could make out it seems to be fairly pleasing in terms of aesthetics and the gladiatoral type environment.
(, Thu 5 Mar 2009, 23:06, Reply)
but then it depends whether this is taking place on or OFF the grid.
Remember, they could do smooth turns in the first Tron too, once they'd escaped!

I mean 1982 video games were pretty basic, Pac Man was pretty much as good as it got. Maybe Jeff Bridges will be running around dressed as a Dwarf in Warcraft in this version to bring it up to date.

1. They try to make it 'modern'.
2. They try and recreate the original too harshly to the point of parody.
I hope they just think "oh, we're making a new Tron, now... what does the inside workings of a computer look like to you, mr. art guy?"
I don't want everything looking like an iPod and I don't want everything to have that strange special effects fuzz of yesteryear.
Grrr, angry already, grrr!

Although I havnt seen in in a long time I guess effects wise they wouldnt have to spend too much to get the same feel as the original and also not end up with a dated looking film. However I could be wrong in my memories and it might look like utter pap effects wise now.
Just be careful of that nasty MCP!!!!
