Hope you guys haven't seen this already, I thought it was cool. Apparently this is running 30fps on an xbox 360. This is the related PDF tech paper. http://miciwan.com/GDC2011/GDC2011_Mega_Meshes.pdf

Orpheus the mayor has been trying for years to tax any vehicle in Manhattan area that isn't a taxi or a bus. Times square, herald square and many other popular areas will probably become pedestrian only traffic in the future. They have been doing experiments to see the impact for a while now. It's not surprising Manhattan can't accommodate a Semi, the government doesn't even want SUVs on the island. I have no doubt that the only places in NYC where you can park a semi are probably desolate/crummy/industrial neighborhoods. Talk about bums and prostitutes, how about Philadelphia or Chicago? Anyway my point is a tourist isn't going to encounter this kind of stuff. The bums in NYC probably make more on loose change than a person who works for minimum wage.

Ignore the troll JeanPaul. Anyway I've lived in NYC my whole life. The highline on 10th avenue and 21st street by the standard hotel is really nice. They converted an abandoned above ground railroad track to a nice park. It's in a very trendy neighborhood so you'll see lots of other interesting things. is now A lot of tourists stick to the popular spots, 5th avenue, times square, rockefeller center, central park etc but I really recommend getting out of Manhattan at least once. Go to 14th street union square and take the L train to Bedford Avenue to see some real life Brooklyn hipsters. Walk up Bedford to Manhattan Avenue (yes Manhattan Avenue in Brooklyn) which will bring you into Greenpoint. That whole area between Williamsburg/Greenpoint/Mccarren Park is pretty much Manhattan part 2. There is tons of stuff to do, bars, stores and it's super super safe (just do your adventurous exploring during the day, stick to routes you know at night). As long as you have a smart phone with a map you wont get lost. It really all depends on what your personality is like. If you really want to experience NY get on the 7 train to Flushing, Queens and experience this: People call Flushing Fu-shing ;\ It's really crazy though it's like a different world. As a bonus the ride on the 7 from Manhattan to Flushing is all above ground so you get to see all sorts of cool stuff. Maybe try walking over one of the bridges. If you're looking to check out the neighborhood of a particular ethnicity let me know. Indians are Elmhurst/Jackson Heights, Hispanic in Corona, Chinese in Flushing/Elmhurst, Polish in Greenpoint, Blacks in BedStuy, Italian and German in Ridgewood etc etc etc. There are enclaves in pretty much every part of the outer boroughs, especially jews/russians in lower Brooklyn. Check out the progress on the WTC: NYC is great. Nevermind the people who say it's dangerous. Both my parents were born/raised/lived their working lives in NYC and will tell you Manhattan is a cesspool of crazy immigrants. The city has a reputation from when it truly was a shit hole but it really couldn't be more removed from the truth these days. Some parts of the city are so safe it's like you're walking around Disney World. It certainly has enough security guards: If you do ask me something keep in mind I know next to nothing about Staten Island or The Bronx.

That's if you take it literally. It could also mean creating art/being human.

I updated my post

this is silly All of it is zero-sum nonsense. Believing it requires a paranoid them against us mentality. There are better ways to be an activist than to be alarmist. If the oil runs out there is still plenty of coal and over a trillion barrels of oil that can be extracted from oil sands (through modern technology). Not to mention every other form of energy in production, water, solar, steam, etc. Why science vs religion/politics/financial system? Is that some kind of natural juxtaposition or is that just the bias of the author's perception that makes those things opposite each other? Religion/politics/finance today isn't the same as 50 years ago, 100 years ago, 200 years ago or 500 years ago. They're all different. To boil them down to something like morals/power/money is naive. They change with time just like everything else. Big "evil" companies like Monsanto have made famine virtually non-existent in the western world. There is poverty and low income people but citizens aren't dying on the street. That's a major improvement from even 100 years ago which is relatively recent history. The idea of equal chances is subjective. Some people need bars of gold to be happy, other people are fine with heat, shelter, clothes and food. To suggest that everybody should get equal chances is just rhetorical nonsense. Before Enlightenment chop wood carry water, after Enlightenment, chop wood carry water.

I don't know how cheap it is but I've played with an samsung intercept which is pretty cool.

AMERICA, AMERICA, GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE.

I thought you....were.....Russian....nevermind

Whoops, you're right, I meant its

I can assure you almost certainly that we have not learned this lesson. Also D3 correct me if I'm wrong but they're terrorizing Russia because of your influence on their state right? Wouldn't they leave you alone and focus on internal conflict if you left them alone? I know that's a naive simplification of the situation but how does it make MORE sense to occupy them?

That's an interesting stance Warby but then the question is...where do you get your news?

damn blast from the past there's a name I completely forgot and has brought back a ton of adolescent counterstrike memories. for those not in the know he made a pretty popular web comic (among other things) back in the day.

dude, bro, guy... learn programming, it's the same thing except better Yeah but programming requires a having project to work on or problem to solve. This game is fun because it gives you the problems.

Wow this game is surprisingly fun. Whoever designed the tutorial and first few levels deserves a beer. The way the gameplay is setup makes a seemingly complex idea super intuitive. The ability to go back to completed levels and automatically save current ones is really important. If someone didn't think to add that feature I probably wouldn't have played past the second level.

My mom took me to do laundry with her when I was about 5 or 6 and I spent most of my time on this (standing on a milkcrate box of course):

I laugh heartily at these gimped toys

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59830628 It comes in a bunch of materials/fabrics/colors.

Bought one of those poang chairs in green. Should be here tomorrow afternoon. For Christmas I just bought myself new socks, underwear and insoles for my boots/shoes.

I know I'm on the internet and can check this in probably 3 seconds but I'm going to roll the dice: That looks like Oliva Wilde not Summer Glau. The former is in the new tron movie.
