Why do stupid people get the chance to win so much money when they always blow it fantastically?

"I?ve recently been working on a new feature for the Offset Engine: real time ambient occlusion. I took some ideas from Crysis and some other developers (most notably Inigo Quilez?thanks Inigo!) who have been working on similar techniques and made a few improvements over those approaches that makes the effect much more convincing, IMO. For those not familiar with the term, ambient occlusion is a way of approximating global illumination by computing how much a point is occluded by other geometry in the scene (good overview at http://www-viz.tamu.edu/students/bmoyer/617/ambocc/)
It?s not quite ready for prime time yet, and currently requires quite a bit of tweaking to get it looking good in different situations, but I thought I?d show you some WIP comparison screenshots (attached). It works as a post process and requires no precomputation, and works with moving and deforming objects. It currently requires deferred rendering to be turned on, though I may be able to get around this dependency As you can see from the comparison shots, it improves the quality of the rendered scene significantly! The first shot showing the boxes is lit in a very boring way intentionally (a single sky light placed in the editor) to highlight the benefit of the technique."

Tomorrow's launch of the English-language Al Jazeera International news channel will present the world with a strange broadcasting animal. Funded by the Emir of Qatar, the channel will likely tone down the graphic and/or sensational nature of its Arabic-language parent, but it will still be free from commercial sponsorship or advertiser concerns. There will actually be four bureaus -- one in the channel's home city of Doha, Qatar (studio pictured), plus outposts in London, Washington DC, and Kuala Lumpur. The Emir's deep pockets sent recruiters on a shopping spree for correspondents worldwide, netting a few overseas-famous names. The BBC is said to be defensively realigning in response to Al Jazeera's nabbing of "Scud Stud" Rageh Omaar and Sir David Frost, among others; Frost will inaugurate his show Wednesday by interviewing British PM Tony Blair. Various other Brits came aboard as well, including a few who are apparently a bit too fond of the sauce for the Emir's liking.
No details on exactly who got enthusiastically blotto on recent trips to Al Jazeera's Doha HQ -- Sir David, how could you -- but supposedly several British staff spent so much time in the hotel bars that the Emir ordered them to undergo "cultural awareness" seminars while in the otherwise boozeless country. One presumes that patronizing the population of Bangladeshi prostitutes is also frowned upon. Nevertheless, while it appears that only the satellite-based Dish Network will carry Al Jazeera International in the United States (or is at least "willing" to carry it), tomorrow's relaunch of the Al Jazeera English website will stream the channel for free, in real time. Get ready to choose your next Anderson Cooper.
I cant watch Rudy without tearing up a bit the second that one player starts the “Rooo-dy” chant. Or when the dad tries not to cry as he applauds his son, overwhelmed with pride. Ok, not only am I going off topic but I’m also starting to well up so back to the story at hand. This Friday, MTV is set to air a two-hour special chronicling the success of Motorcycle Racer, Nicky Hayden.
Office 2008 may offer a wealth of new features, not the least of which is Intel native code, but those looking for more impressive features will have to look elsewhere than Entourage, which stands alone as the sole Mac-only component of Office.

Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage
personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of a
frustration that well-known task managers, such as
those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not
provide facilities for composite tasks. Often,
tasks and other things to do consist of several
activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with
composite tasks.

Since its launch almost one year ago, the Nintendo Wii has certainly been the big surprise among the three major game console contenders. As we approach the one-year anniversary, TG Daily game expert Mark Raby reviews what has made the Wii the success it is today and how much room there is for more in the future.
Nothing gets our heart pumping quite like a new VOIP handset, and when it's a dual-function model that can connect to a landline too, well, we sometimes have trouble containing our excitement. The latest system in a seemingly endless parade of similar products comes from Linksys, whose CIT310 supports Yahoo! Messenger with Voice, and looks a lot snazzier than some of the otherphones we've seen from this company. Based on the DECT standard, the CIT310 hooks up to your PC's USB port and your regular telephone line, allowing you to make and receive both Yahoo! and POTS calls anywhere within range of the base unit. Additional features include zip code-based business searches directly from the handset's small color screen (including one click calling) and local weather info in case your weather station, TV, PC, thermometer, and newspaper all happen to crash simultaneously. This model will available for an even $100 exclusively through Amazon until sometime in January, so you should be able to pick one up in a bricks-and-mortar store right after you've finished returning all those other VOIP devices you're bound to receive this holiday season.

New developers, same old ideas. Will SH lose its magic?.
With the departure of original designers Team Silent (now, sadly, disbanded) the Silent Hill series has two options - capture the spirit of the originals or lose the magic completely. And that's the cross American developers The Collective have to bear, with only composer and part-time producer Akira Yamaoka remaining from the original team.
All the core tracks we'll be rocking out to next month.

We can see how these Remix and Beatz iPod cases can get pretty annoying after a while. But the first couple hours you play with this thing will be pure delight.
The two cases—one which lets you drop "funky beatz" and the other lets you "remix"—can be chained together so you and your buddy can work together. It's kinda cool, and will be available at Best Buy soon for $30. We just wish they hadn't destroyed one of our favorite Jamiroquai songs. – Jason Chen

The recently released Sansa View may already in line for an upgrade if some leaked info on the ScanDisk website is anything to go by. The link revealed listings for devices with 8, 16 and 32GB capacities with the high end price topping out at $330. And since a 32GB Sansa View does not currently exist, we can only assume that one will be released sometime in the near future. Not a confirmation by any means, but if you are planning on picking up a Sansa View, you might want to wait a little longer if a higher capacity interests you. [Dapreview]

Reports are filtering in that Air America host Randi Rhodes was severely beaten Monday night while walking her dog on 39th and Park. "Rhodes was beaten up pretty badly, losing several teeth and will probably be off the air for at least the rest of the week," writes Talking Radio. Air America, when reached for comment on the listener call-in line, said, "We don't want to feed the inaccurate rumor mill. Also, we don't know." Though the attacks haven't been reported elsewhere, Rhodes' website does mention that she isn't feeling well and has gone as far as creating a little church sign to that effect. Sam Seder is filling in for her. Murky!
The factual opacity didn't stop Air America Late Night host Jon Elliot asked these pointed rhetorical questions (always the best kind to ask in the wake of an assault!) concerning the attack: ""Is this an attempt by the right wing hate machine to silence one of our own? Are we threatening them? Are they afraid that we're winning? Are they trying to silence and intimidate us?"
Comments on the blog ranged from MaxPower's "Tragic!!! Is the dog okay?" to the more politically engaged, "Maybe if she were armed it wouldn't have come to this. Remember people, police provide justice but they can't protect you."
Oh Talk Radio fans! You are all so insane!
JGame is a small 2D game engine that runs on any
Java 1.2+ platform. It provides a very high-level
framework, enabling "classic" type arcade games to
be developed with a minimum of code and effort. It
is based on sprites with automatic animation and
collision detection, and a tile-based background
with easy sprite-tile interaction facilities.
JGame games can be run as both applications and
applets, and can be scaled to any resolution or
run full-screen.
