Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.

About Me
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Non-Alcoholic Vodka

October 6th 2008 23:50
How exactly do you produce non-alcoholic vodka anyway? I thought the whole idea of vodka was an alcoholic bevereage to mix with other drinks with minimal effect on the taste.

When I first saw this picture I though it must be clever marketing campaign to get people to drink water on a night out. However, there are rumours that this is actually unfermented potato juice. It would have an interesting flavour that's for sure!

Obama Vs McCain

October 6th 2008 10:32
Do you have what it takes to be the next Commander-in-chief? Take on the role of Barack Obama or John McCain and prove that you are tough enough to be the next President of the United States!
Instead of hiding behind the secret service, you will pull out the weapons and assist the police in taking down some bank robbers and other bad guys. There are numerous guns to choose from and you will need to reload and collect ammunition along the way. It won't be easy, but you may win a few extra votes.

Controls:
Arrow Keys -> Move
Mouse -> Aim and Fire
R -> Reload
C -> Change Weapon
Spacebar -> Crouch
P -> Pause
? -> Help


Obama and McCain. Commander n chief

High Definition Photographs

October 3rd 2008 11:50
Known as High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI or HDR) can blur our perceptions of illusion and reality. It allows a greater range of values between light and dark areas than normal imaging allows. When applied correctly, the results can be as you see below.
Thanks to digitalpicturezone.com for these. Image source.

It's the bottom of the ninth. Your team is down a couple of runs. Can you step up to bat and win the game? Just aim the mouse cursor over home plate, keep your eye on the ball and click when you're ready to take a swing for glory!

It's official, Disaster Movie is the worst of all the 'movie' movies scoring lower than even the terrible Date Movie and pointless Epic Movie. Disaster Movie isn't the first to score 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it is a rare honour.
See how the movies compared below. If it's too small to read, click on the picture to open in a larger window.

I tend to agree with you.
Maybe in this modern age people can feel they know celebrities even when you don't, then if they die they feel a sense of loss.

But I agree the F-22s look very nice.

You'll have to send me the link to your Sukhoi fighter pics, I can't find them!
