I tried to do a little bit of manipulation on one of them, just gamma correction, an unsharp mask, hue/saturation, and curves. I decided I liked the orange and purple. The gamma is wrong here (It's darker than it should be) but I can't be bothered to correct it again.

There's something like this on OMGpop called "draw my thing", it uses flash. My brother got addicted to it, and I'm planning to do that too when I get my tablet.

Looks even better than the concept with the animations :thumbup: The slide show works really well. I kind of forgot about that Nintendo DS that you modeled, TBH I was a lot more impressed with it then. :razz: But I knew nothing about 3D then. How did you make that planet?

Yeah, kind of OT but have you seen the new UI? It's pretty sweet. This, really. I can play 700mb movies on my twelve year old laptop with it.

You do realise that VLC can do this as well, right? ;) But can VLC write video directly to the framebuffer so that you can watch movies without an X server? Mplayer is crazy powerful. Blender - Free/Open source 3D content editor that rivals the big names like 3DS Max, Maya, Houdini and Lightwave. You can model, render, animate, create games... http://blender.org

Not nearly as complex, but it still meant maintaining a shape.

Rune tips and OT were complex compared to this, that's what was hindering us.

Well it's really easy to do in Ubuntu, I've done it a few times (Just a few clicks after downloading an ISO), but I don't know about Mandriva. Found this article (First Google result for "make a mandriva live usb"), and it doesn't look hard at all. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/make-your-own-portable-mandriva-flash/

Hah. When it's -27C/-16.6F and you have to bike to school, the sun rises at nine and sets at three, and there's nothing to do outside, I'd say that it sucks pretty hard.

It's 27C/80F here and really really humid. I'm boiling. ...But I'm fine with it as winter is worse.

It works because it is a Non-Newtonian fluid. "In a Newtonian fluid, the relation between the shear stress and the strain rate is linear (and if one were to plot this relationship, it would pass through the origin), the constant of proportionality being the coefficient of viscosity. In a non-Newtonian fluid, the relation between the shear stress and the strain rate is nonlinear, and can even be time-dependent. Therefore a constant coefficient of viscosity cannot be defined." I.e. just because you hit it hard doesn't mean that your hand will go through, but hold it in your hand and it melts. (Of course this stuff is probably more stiff than that) Like cornstarch and water.

You know what I think we should do? Unite and color the entire ball brown. No letters, no stones. Just brown.

It is already optional.

Gedit (Or nano) and bash are good enough for me in most cases (Web design needs Firefox + Firebug however). E: This reminded me of Eclipse, I thought I might want to do some Java programming when I'm bored on the train tomorrow. So I searched for it. The results make me want to cry.

Personally I'm more of a debian based OS user, I tend to prefer Ubuntu/Debian/Mint and as a lot of packages (30k+) are compiled for Debian based systems it seems best to me. But Mandriva is fine too, and the package manager is really the only major difference. Booting from a flash drive really works the same as booting from a HDD. The only difference really is what you're booting from. It could work well that way, however unless you are looking to support Mandriva development I would buy a good flashdrive and make the live disk myself. If you choose to go with using a flashdrive for Linux though, there will be a difference in performance and I think that certain features might be disabled. (Hibernation and sleeping, I'm not sure though) On top of that if you accidentally take out the flash drive bad things could happen. Alternatively you could install it on your HDD, and, like you said, you would get a choice at startup. The downside of this is that you would want to make a partition for Linux at least 10GB.

There's no denying that the resulting spectacle will be interesting. I'm all for the idea of two movies, as I have yet to see a movie that is faithful to the book. But like Tacodude said, how are they going to do it now that they've dug themselves into a hole?

Yeah that would suck.

Sure. I sent it to you, if I'm not here feel free to spread it.

Yes, quite drastically. How to tell everyone though? Argh.

I have figured out something simple and important. I can't say it here though. Everyone who is working on this must know it.

The R was me :3

Was that you helping me fix it? Fixed the S also.

I'm about to dump >9000%. Pick a letter! Tell me which! Defend said letter!

We are dead. Dead I tell you!

Please people, pick a letter to defend and tell me! [spoiler=The logo as of now]
