Win8 Preview8th March 2012 Hey guys, yeah I'm still around. I haven't looked much into the new Windows 8 (no I'm not going to try the demo), but... this Metro thing, is it supposed to allow apps to run on a PC _and_ tablets / smartphones too? That would sound pretty cool - but the*snip* |

Learning WebDev21st February 2012 On the subject of learning SQL, I also found it pretty much useless - until I got into web development. SQL doesn't become powerful until you're working with it through your code, instead of a command prompt. From your PHP pages you can easily siphon dat*snip* |

Graphics Libraries9th July 2011 The only way I know to learn any of these is to rely on online sources such as tutorials and documentation. That may be the largest factor in choosing which library you choose, because if you can't find help on something its that much harder to use (if yo*snip* |

Candy from a baby5th July 2011 Afro, I think you missed the point of the article. Someone had gotten ahold of someone's phone, who had been killed, and was using it. They even deleted messages from their inbox, making the parents believe the girl was still alive. |

Candy from a baby5th July 2011 What I don't understand is, this happened some 8-9 years ago, phones weren't too capable back then. If this is a legitimate, large business, couldn't these people afford their own cellphones? |

Portal 2 Spoilery/Discussion Stuff25th April 2011 The dialogue in the first one was good, too. For example, "If you feel thirsty, feel free to pass out. An associate will come shortly to assist you." Yeah when? In a thousand years? lol |

Insane Lego Ball trip!23rd April 2011 I had legos as a kid too - a big bucket of them. I discovered that if you shook the bucket for long enough, the larger pieces would float to the top, and smaller pieces sunk to the bottom. Basic settling theory, since all the pieces were the same density*snip* |

Portal 2 Spoilery/Discussion Stuff21st April 2011 Shroom, I found that to be true, unfortunately you had to have a working version of Half Life 2, which I don't, in order to use Hammer. There was an in-game editor, a kind of hacked-in type editor, not by Valve, but the controls and effects were limited -*snip* |

Portal 2 Spoilery/Discussion Stuff21st April 2011 I was interested in the first portal since the first time I saw it. After playing it for a while (got it free from a steam special) I'm interested in Portal 2, but too bad I can't afford it. Portal 2 should be a fun game, especially the cooperative level*snip* |

Insane Lego Ball trip!18th April 2011 I liked where they separated the basketballs from the soccer balls... too bad they didn't actually do anything with them after that. This guy should be hired to build a factory! |

Design : A better programming file format16th February 2011 I think it would be neat to insert images into the text of code, for the purpose of better documentation.

Choosing a programing language7th February 2011 Afro, that sucks, but I'm sure one could devise a work-around.

PixelPaton gets F'd in the A'17th November 2010 That would actually be neat if this guy was trying to function as a publisher, providing the game owners with a share of the profits. But he is obviously spreading copyright work - and making money from it, and then trying to tell people its legal. |
