Partial Template Specialization WTF I am working with VC++ 2003 and I get an error which makes no sense to me, and the MSDN pages are not helping at all. If someone would be kind enough to suggest a fix... template <size_t A> void foo() { } template <> void fo...

Worst CG Ever? I don't know what you guys think about this, but that trailer almost made me cry. The CG is so horrible, even a 2 year old kid wouldn't be scared. Don't get me wrong, I think the movie could be almost remotely entertaining... If they redo all the CG...

Do you know the Upright Citizens Brigade? Just wondering how popular that humor TV series was. My friend Kurt showed me some episodes about a year ago and I found it very amusing. To my knowledge it hasn't been televised in Canada, although it could appeal to alot of people as the humor is m...

McGuyveresque Air Conditioning: The Sequel I made a thread some time ago about my air conditioner problem (nearly new horizontal unit, doesn't fit in vertical windows). It's getting hot here, and well, no success selling the unit at a bargain price, and I'm not having any success finding some...

MSN Messenger Library? I'm looking for a library that implements the MSN messenger protocol and is written in C/C++ (preferably C++). It would be nice if it supported MSN display images. I know there is DotMSN, but that is for .NET only, and portability matters to me....

Windows: Mounting SSH drives? Does anyone know software that can be used to mount your home directory on a remote machine (linux) where you have a shell account and an SSH login? Has anyone tried any? This would greatly simplify my coding at the university, as the remote...

Help Me Find a Name... I will be working on implementing a compiled binary code optimizer this summer as a research project. One of the *critical* issues happens to be finding a name, so I can refer to the project and all it entails in other terms than "it" and "m...

Air Conditioner.... Funnel? (MacGyver Style) I just moved into a new appartment. It's newer and better... I actually have windows in my living room now (amazing!). One problem I'm having is, summer is coming quickly, and it's going to be hot in here. I do have an air conditioner (7800 BTU) w...

Irradiance Caching I need some help solving this problem... I've been working on implementing irradiance caching last night from Ward's original paper, but I'm getting some nasty artifacts. (ignore the boxes being black, I fixed that). It seems that some values...

Toying With Global Illumination I have recently been toying with a new GI renderer of mine. It's a brute force monte-carlo path tracer, but smarter. My previous one took several days to converge (ultra naive implementation)... This one, by using techniques like recursive...

The Google Image Game NO. Not kidding. It seems to be some kind of nude skin for one of the Max Payne 2 characters. [Edited by - Run_The_Shadows on June 24, 2006 11:18:42 PM]

Kutaragi on the Cell Processor They've been saying this for years. In the end we all know that distributed processing through outdated processors (they will be outdated by the time they are deployed) in your appliances and a low-bandwidth wireless link is NOT going to help your co...

Question about the Big Bang Assuming the universe contains a finite quantity of energy and space is inifinite in all directions, then there is such a thing as a "center of mass" of the universe (Note that I'm not saying we can easily find where that would be). Of course now if...

Worst CG Ever? Quote:Original post by JBourrie Seriously, how good can you make a guy with a flaming skull-head look? The source material isn't exactly gold. Well, the movement looks unsmooth and so does the fire. If they made the skull and fire look realistic...

Criss Angel's water walking Quote:Original post by Maega How does one explain the girl swimming under him if it is vertical posts? They wouldn't be placed far enough apart for her to do that. It doesn't have to be ALL horizontal, or ALL vertical. It can be transparent...

Criss Angel's water walking ... He's walking on some sort of transparent bridge. If you're wondering how people can swim underneath, well, it's not very thick, that's how. As for people crossing his way, the bridge can simply be cut into two or three parts to allow people...

Dinosaurs and Evangelism Quote:Original post by Mithrandir Unless God created himself? That's a trick I would like to see. Well, one way or another, it would seem kind of strange to think that our universe did not exist forever, and yet was created out of *nothing*,...

Nerd fits I know gamedev doesn't like to get into debates, but I can see a few arguments for Linux... It's just a fact that you can do alot more on linux without restarting because of the higher level of control it gives you. No software on linux...

King of Men and eektor's formal debate thread Quote:Original post by Sneftel I've got a better idea: Why don't you guys do it over PMs instead? So as not to not deprive us from the humoristic value of this "debate".
