by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 20, 2005 7:14am PDTI managed to catch the first Tomb Raider movie on TV yesterday, and much to my surprise I didn't totally hate it. I unfortunately saw the sequel in theaters, and it was complete garbage, but this was passable. Not quite sure why both movies have an identical rating on the IMDB. I certainly wouldn't get it on DVD or anything though. I still consider the first Resident Evil movie to be the best videogame-to-movie adaptation. Also on FileShack

HALP !!! I am searching for some new shoes, the old ones are well way too old and my feet no longer fit in them nice.
I have the Look snap in pedals and want a good shoe for the least price. I am planning this for commute to and from work. I am no longer a hard core cyclicst as in my younger days, but I want to get back out on the bike now and then. I have long lost the regular rat traps (good) and just need a replacement shoe. I tried searching the local sports store websites and found little on shoes. Also I am looking for a semi warm shoe, for the colder weather is soon upon us. I can still get a couple months out of the bike before I put it away for the winter. I am willing to spend 50 to 150 cnd range.
Any suggestions?

There's no delicate way to put this, so I'll just quote the survey report: "For males, the proportion who have had anal sex with a female increases from 4.6 percent at age 15 to 34 percent at ages 22–24; for females, the proportion who have had anal sex with a male increases from 2.4 percent at age 15 to 32 percent at age 22–24." One in three women admits to having had anal sex by age 24. By ages 25 to 44, the percentages rise to 40 for men and 35 for women. And that's not counting the 3.7 percent of men aged 15 to 44 who've had anal sex with other men

Find yourself a pound of tomatillos w/o husks. Slice up a good sized yellow onion. Get two jalapeños and half them and seed them. Chop up a green bell pepper and get those seeds out. Do the same to an orange and a red. Peel a English cucumber and chop it up. Have 1/4 cup of walnuts to get some texture in the dish. 2 garlic cloves. 2 tbs of extra virgin olive oil. You will need a lime for some juice action. A tbs of minced fresh parsley. FRESH GOD DAMN IT DONT MAKE ME HIT YOU. Some salt and FRESH (damn it!) ground pepper. I like a little cayenne pepper or homemade chili powder. And for the tour de force, get a jicama peeled and diced.
We are going to roast and brown the tomatillos, jalapeños and onion slices on a lightly oiled baking sheet at about 375 for 15-20 minutes. Actually fuck the time thing, go until the stuffs are lightly browned and softened. Turn the oven down a bit and do the same thing with the walnuts until you get a nice fragrent smell, say about 5 minutes. You don't have to grease that pan obviously. DUH. Don't be stupid.
Put everything except the jicama and the spices in a food processor. I leave mine a little thick but thats me. I'll let you go until you have the consistancy you desire. See, I give. Add salt and pepper and cayenne and chili powders. Not too much but do it to taste. Id say a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, a tsp of cayenne and a tsp of chili powder that is HOME MADE for the last time jesus fucking christ.
Anyways, cover and refrigerate for a few hours. Get it nice and cool. Serve in chilled bowls or I'll have to come there and smack you upside the head for being dumb. Serve with a spoonfull of that diced jicama and do it pronto for fucks sake, the people are hungry.

We were up in Edinburgh recently and very much enjoyed your rant on second hand software. How did that go? Do you think you made your point?
Mark Rein: I think I won over the audience on that one. A lot of people came up to me afterwards. I want to see the price of games come down and I want to see the market grow. When J Allard and Robbie Bach talked about reaching a billion users, they didn't mean the machines they were going to sell, but the market touching a billion people.
I think that's only possible to achieve those goals if we become more mainstream. A very smart man, Dave Jones, told me the other day that ultimately, games need to be the same price as DVDs. If we could sell these kind of quantities, that would be do-able. I mean, I don't know if we can get down to DVD prices anytime soon, that's going to take exponential growth to the size of our marketplace, if we could get a percentage of the resale revenue. I don't mean a guy selling on Ebay, I mean the stores.
If you walk into EB in the US, they try and sell you a second hand version of a game before a new one. I think that's bad. It would be fine if they share that revenue with us. They can also be marketing partners with us as well. We can have an official refurbished games policy. That's the problem. Those resold games use server resources, tech support. The majority of guys calling up saying "I don't have my serial number", I'm sure a lot of those are resold. It costs us money. Those customers think they paid for it, and they're entitled to support. The reality is, we didn't get paid. They didn't pay us.

Tough. Shit. Mark.
It's a free market, you dont and should not get any more money for something that's already entered into the food chain once and been paid for. Someone using your servers who has purchased second hand copy? So the fuck what? It's already been paid for and would have been used online anyway by the original purchaser.
Share revenue with you? Fuck you. Want some cheese with that fucking whine? Jesus. This is no better than software pirates downloading your games without paying.\
PS. I know George B is NOT going to agree with me here.

never, ever, ever before have I used systematic testing. never had a problem.
for this project, I decided to be a good 'lil dev and use unit tests. About a week and a half ago, one of them starts bugging out on me. All progress stops as I try to find this bastard of a bug, in a multithreaded c program (especially fun to debug). Couldn't find it. I practically rewrote the program along the way with roughly 1.5 trillion asserts. Still couldn't find it. 5 minutes ago I figured it out.
The unit test was broken.
The god-damned motherfucking son of a donkey-punching whore unit test was broken! and it dawned on me,
testing fallible code with more fallible code is just plain stupid. Think of it this way.
Given a good programmer, say there's a .95 chance that any particular line of code will do what you expect. Then you take a Unit Test. Say it's been around for a while, and any particular test has a .99 chance that it's a realistic and proper test. By running said .99 code on the former .95 code, the final probablity of the code NOT blowing up is is .9405. Multiply this by my reward function for time spent debugging (-1.0*e^1000000000000). What does this yield. A huge fucking negative my friends, that's what.
TLDR. ignorance is bliss, and above all
fuck unit tests.

My only gripe is that I don't think I was satisfied by the ending. I heard there was a movie in the works, but has it been confirmed whether it ties the loose ends left over by episode 51?

Then some revisions were made little by little and then everything stopped again. Finally late this summer he gave me a new design brief with a new content structure and I started over again and this afternoon he finally said "home run, good job".
Since starting the first [H] re-design, I have started and completed over 35 projects. Fuck.

The Xbox 360 "premium" pack or whatever it is (399$) is coming with a remote.
Now there's rumours a better remote will be released by microsoft which is back lit and other such things.
I know they can do what they want, I know I don't have to buy it, I know it's about profit and there's nothing wrong with that ,..... but I just can't help but :( :( at the 399$ Xbox not coming with this remote.
They are really going for it on accessories $$$ that's for sure.
