The 5 Most Likely Ways Humans Will Become Obsolete*
From the perspective of the planet Earth, humans have existed for about three seconds. In those 3 seconds, we've made such astounding technological leaps that, at present, we actually have articles written in light, by electricity and broadcast instantaneously all over the globe, complaining about the fact that we don't have flying skateboards yet.

* Obsolescence is the state of being which occurs when a person, object, or service is
no longer wanted, even though it may still be in good working.

Bravo lui, uite ca face si lucruri bune Bill al nostru, asa ca nu va mai luati atat de crashuri, ok?

StarCraft 2 Beta!
Blizzard numa ce a lansat bomba peste fanii de StarCraft anuntand prin intermediului siteului WoW ca accepta inscrieri pentru StarCraft 2 Beta prin intermediul Battle.net.

Azi am simtit nevoia sa postez ceva amuzant, so there you go.

Asimov's Last Question
Cati dintre voi stiu de "Ultima Intrebare" o poveste scurta de Isaac Asimov? Scrisa prin anii 50, "Ultima Intrebare" este printre una din cele mai cunoscute nuvele ale sale si una dintre cele mai grozave scrise vreodata in istoria science-fiction-ului.

Povestea 'vorbeste' despre ce se va intampla cu noi oamenii cand toate stelele din univers vor 'muri'. Mai e mult timp pana atunci - pana si Soarele nostru se va stinge peste 4 miliarde de ani - dar totusi... sfarsitul povestirii face toti banii, asa ca nu derulati direct la sfarsit. Enjoy!

@pin: Venetia a numit planeta, la 12 ani. Si Pluto e planeta, alea-s detalii nesemnificative. Cat despre Eris... Eris?! N-am chef sa caut pe Google. O seara buna la toata lumea.

Eris ca si Pluto ii in centura trans neptuniana(dincolo de Neptun), centura are cam 200 de corpuri planetare. Eris ii mai mare cu 30% decat Pluto.

Meet the Spy Video Leaked from Valve
Aparent, Robin Walker, unul dintre creatorii Team Fortress-ului, in prezent directorul TF 2, a inceput sa concedieze toti angajatii in cautarea responsabilului. Nu stiu cat de adevarata e chestia asta, dar e amuzanta rau.

How to Play Video Games in 3D
Movies like Monsters & Aliens and Coraline have hit the big screen in 3D, and we've covered how to watch DVDs at home in 3D. But what about gaming? Racing games, first person shooters and survival horror games seem far more important to get in 3D than the evening news or Doubt. PM tech modder Anthony Verducci explains how to bring 3D gaming to your home—with results that impressed even him.

GeForce 3D Vision

chestia asta nu se poate face si cu niste ochelari anaglifici normali+driverii stereoscopici de la nvidia?

Se poate, si chiar mai bine. Merge si pe ATi.

Chiar de curand am luat si eu niste ochelari anaglyph si m-am jucat putin cu ei. Tot ce iti trebuie (pe langa ochelari, evident) e driver-ul de la iZ3D: Clicky!

Trebuie sa setezi output-ul pe anaglyph, pornesti un joc, apesi '*' pe numpad si gata.

Nu functioneaza cu orice, dar merge cu majoritatea.

Also, e cam obositor pt. ochi cu ochelarii astia. The real deal: Clicky!

C and C++ are NOT the Same Language
I was just sitting there, minding my own structs and boom, next thing I know, I was that guy that hadn't realized that those mallocs are so 90s.

But there is a certain reverence for the old ways. You're supposed to learn C or C++ to be a well rounded dork, much like you're supposed to have read Shakespeare. This is all fine and well, and I agree. But there's one sticking point:

C and C++ aren't the same language...
