Tim Thompson releases Stevie (ST editor for VI enthusiasts), a limited vi clone for the Atari ST, posting the source on Usenet. Īt the time of its first release, the name "Vim" was an acronym for "Vi IMitation", but this changed to "'Vi IMproved" late in 1993. Basing Vim on the source code for Stevie meant the program could be distributed without requiring the AT&T source license.īasing his work on Stevie, Bram Moolenaar began working on Vim for the Amiga computer in 1988, with the first public release (Vim v1.14) in 1991. The source code for Vi used the Ed text editor developed under AT&T, and therefore Vi could only be used by those with an AT&T source license. It was one of the first popularized clones of Vi, and did not use Vi's source code. Vim's forerunner, Stevie (ST Editor for VI Enthusiasts), was created by Tim Thompson for the Atari ST in 1987 and further developed by Tony Andrews and G.R. In 2018, it was voted the most popular editor amongst Linux Journal readers in 2015 the Stack Overflow developer survey found it to be the third most popular text editor, and in 2019 the fifth most popular development environment. Since its release for the Amiga, cross-platform development has made it available on many other systems. Vim is designed for use both from a command-line interface and as a standalone application in a graphical user interface. Vim's author, Bram Moolenaar, derived Vim from a port of the Stevie editor for Amiga and released a version to the public in 1991. It is an improved clone of Bill Joy's vi.

When some of his early auctions for a $4 deck of cards quickly rose to over $120, it did not take long for other eBayers to jump on the bandwagon and print or order decks of their own to sell. He quickly contracted Gemaco Playing Card Company to print 1,000 decks for about $4,000 and started selling both the decks, in advance of receiving them from the printer, on eBay, and his own web site. Discovering the following day that the file had vanished from the military web server he became the first eBay seller to offer the artwork file, in PDF, which could be used to reproduce the deck. On that same evening Max Hodges, a Houston-based entrepreneur, found and downloaded a high-resolution artwork file for the deck from a Defense Department web server. Vincent Brooks, deputy director of operations at U.S. The deck of cards was first announced publicly in Iraq on 11 April 2003, in a press conference by Army Brig. The pictures used on the cards came from a number of intelligence agencies, but most were derived from "open sources". The "Most Wanted" names were then assigned to their respective cards by five US Army soldiers, 2LT Hans Mumm, SSG Shawn Mahoney, SGT Andrei Salter, SGT Scott Boehmler, and SPC Joseph Barrios, who were assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency. The list of "Most Wanted" was the result of a multi-intelligence agency collaboration which included the Defense Intelligence Agency, Central Command, and representatives from all US Service Branch Intelligence entities. Troops often play cards to pass the time, and seeing the names, faces and titles of the wanted Iraqis during their games will help soldiers and Marines in case they run into the wanted individuals in the field, Brooks said. The card backs feature camouflage reminiscent of that seen on the Desert Camouflage Uniform.Īccording to US Navy Lieutenant commander Jim Brooks, a spokesman for the Defense Intelligence Agency, such playing cards have been used as far back as the American Civil War and again in World War II- Army Air Corps decks printed with the silhouettes of German and Japanese fighter aircraft fetch hundreds of dollars today-and in the Korean War. This strict correspondence to the order of the most-wanted list was not carried through the entire deck, but sometime later in 2003, the list itself was renumbered to conform (almost) to the deck of cards. The ace of spades is Saddam Hussein, the aces of clubs and hearts are his sons Qusay and Uday respectively, and the ace of diamonds is Saddam's presidential secretary Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti. The highest-ranking cards, starting with the aces and kings, were used for the people at the top of the most-wanted list. As of 2021, all but four of the 52 most wanted have died or been either killed or captured, eleven of whom have been released.Ībout the cards Rashid Taan Kazim playing card Rafi Abd Latif Tilfah playing cardĮach card contains the wanted person's address and, if available, the job performed by that individual.

You find out Long Meg is part of the Daughters stone cirlce (A25) north of Undermere. You’ll need to give them a plant that shows friendship. Just over a third of a mile (0.5 km) to the North-East of Long Meg and her Daughters, the largest stone circle in Cumbria, is one of the smallest, appropriately named Little Meg.īeneath the stones are the remains of the gypsum / anhydrite industries of the Long Meg Plaster and Mineral Co.

Other hi density Nurbs/Patch models designed for render.Optimise your geometry if it has too many polygons - many character models will need to be intelligently optimised or even rebuilt by an artist esp if sourced/built from:.Build with an efficient topology - use polygons only where you need them.Sensibly named objects help you find stuff quickly With big projects in your 3D application, consider having a working file outside your Unity project directory - this can often avert time consuming updates and importing unnecessary data.Keep your hierarchies as simple as you can.Use simple but descriptive names for both objects and files (allow for duplication later).Name objects in your scene sensibly and uniquely - this can help you locate and troubleshoot specific meshes in your project:.Animation frame rate defaults can be different in packages, is a good idea to set consistently across your pipeline - e.g.If in doubt export a metre cube with your scene to match in Unity.Unity has different scaling for FBX and 3D application files on import, check FBX import scale setting in Inspector.Be aware for example Max system unit default is inches and Maya is centimetres.Working to scale can be important for both lighting and physics simulation.Set your system and project units for your software to work consistently with Unity e.g.This will be incorporated into the documentation in due course Scale & Units This short guide has been put together by games artists with developers at Unity, to help you create assets that work better and more efficiently in your Unity project. Unity supports textured 3D models from a variety of programs or sources. I came up with several ideas though none of which I am completely sold on:ġ) Youtube is sending down self contained video and audio chunks with each /videoplayback call. I tried to attempt to only load a range of bytes (via setting the Range http header) which unfortunately failed (I'm assuming because there was no meta-data for the video coming with the video).Īt this point I'm stuck on figuring out how Youtube accomplishes this. It also seems worth noting that most normal requests due to HTML5 video requests seem to receive a 206 response code back while it streams, yet youtube's playvideo calls get a 200 back. Looking at the network traffic it appears to sends requests to which returns binary video data back in chunks of 1.1mb. However, what I am now stuck on is how Youtube deals with the pieces. Using those two resources I am able to load a mp4 video into a blob and display it in a HTML5 video tag. In my attempts to investigate how this worked, I noticed the video src tag has a value of blob:http%3A//which pointed me to blobs, which then led me to typed arrays. It also seems to only buffer the relevant pieces, so if you skip around it will make sure not to buffer pieces that are unlikely to be watched. Instead it manages to control buffering so it only buffers a certain amount while paused. Youtube does not work this way (at least in chrome). If you seek to the middle, it will start downloading from the seek position all the way to the end. This means that if your video is 300 megs, all 300 megs will be downloaded. Previously I have tested HTML5 videos and I found that the server starts streaming the whole video from the start and buffers in the background the complete rest of the video. I noticed that unlike most HTML5 video I have seen, Youtube's video player does not do a normal video source and instead utilizes a blob url as the source. I was watching a youtube video and I decided to investigate some parts of its video player. 1/1/2024 0 Comments Yakuza 4 ps3You start out playing as Shun Akiyama, before moving on to Saejima's tale and then Tanimura's. The story benefits a great deal from its focus on four distinct heroes. The story is full of betrayals and stunning revelations, and the heightened, soap opera quality of the emotions that run through it make it a compelling one overall, albeit one that isn't always told in an engaging way. (There's no English language option.) The plot is so intricate that you'd need to make a chart to keep track of every individual and organization that's involved, but the particulars are less important than the larger-than-life personalities at play, and even when the details get confusing, understanding the motivations of the main characters is easy. By contrast, the fully voiced and animated cutscenes, of which there are also many, are great, full of cinematic flair and energized by the excellent Japanese voice acting. It doesn't help that a great deal of the story is advanced through voiceless cutscenes in which characters use canned animations to express themselves. Yakuza 4 spends a lot of time telling its story-so much, in fact, that at times you'll long for an end to the chitchat so that you can get back to actually playing the game. His charming swagger and expressive nature make him a refreshing departure from the other, more serious heroes. Perhaps the best of the new protagonists is Shun Akiyama, a moneylender who charges no interest and who helps those nobody else will. Masayoshi Tanimura is a complex corrupt cop who operates by his own sense of right and wrong, even if he doesn't always enforce the law. There's Taiga Saejima, a stoic man who has served 25 years in prison for murder and whose often expressionless demeanor slowly reveals a profound depth of emotion. But Yakuza 4 introduces three other men who share the spotlight. Until now, yakuza-clan-chairman-turned-orphanage-operator Kazuma Kiryu has been the series' sole hero. Yakuza 4 continues the epic crime saga told in its predecessors, and should you want to bring yourself up to speed on the events of the earlier games, lengthy recaps that employ cutscenes from those titles are included here. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's This place was abandoned in the 60’s and sealed off from existence. It is located in Deer Trail, Colorado and it is the first and only one of its kind left. They came across something that not many people have ever seen or even knew existed. They drove about 60 miles east and started to follow a small trail. This is History.A couple of friends from Denver, Colorado took a drive one day and decided to go on an adventure. When asked what we could do to improve the experience: "Don't change a thing, leave it just as they left it. Giddy with excitement i wove through rusted and sometimes twisted passages!

The water is clean groundwater, seeping in since the Air Force turned the pumps off in the early 60's. Looking over the edge, we can see the steel structure disappearing at the limits our flashlights. Now we are in the heart of the complex - standing on a platform extending out into the missile launch silo, mere inches from where the massive Titan I ICBM once stood at the ready. It has waited in the pitch black darkness for almost 50 years. The bottom of the shaft is 110 feet straight down! (another reason our BCs are inflated!) We are standing on the massive steel cribwork that lifted the 100 ft, 110 ton ICBM to the surface for launch. To the right a 24 inch wide plank leads across the now-empty elevator shaft that serviced the different levels of the cribwork. Judging by the doors, you'd never know you were about to enter a 160 foot tall chamber that housed a ballistic nuclear missile! Moving into the launch silo, we pass through a rather normal looking double-doorway. Fortunately the deck plates are in place here, giving us a smooth and even floor for final preparations. A kayak makes the trip with us to carry all loose items like fins and cameras.Īfter a couple of turns and tunnel junctions we reach the area where we do our final gear-up for the dive. Inflating BCs is a must on this walk, along with listening to the person in front of us as they call out obstacles. Water fills the tunnels to about waist level. Deck plates on the tunnel floors have been removed, leaving a network of large pipes, valves and occasional beams to walk on. The tunnels leading to the Launcher areas of the silo complex have been ravaged by salvagers in the 60's when the base was decomissioned and sold. Once everyone is geared up and checks are complete, the walk to the launch silos begins. Sevaral large benches line the walls of the room, allowing plenty of space to get your gear assembled. Most divers opt to wear their assembled scuba unit down the ladder, but they can be lowered by rope.Īt the base of the access tube is the "ready room". Extra bottles, lights, fins, masks and various cameras and miscellaneous gear are lowered down into the 'hole'. We set up gear on large wood decks by the entrance. This is the entrance to the Titan I complex. Driving down into this man-made canyon, we stop at a huge mangled 'tube' erupting from the depths. Next, a massive ravine, dug by a zealous farmer opens before us. As we drive through the middle of what looks like a steel scrapyard of rusting farm machinery and other derilect equipment, a massive concrete launch doors appears. We begin in the high desert plateau of Eastern Washington, overlooking the Columbia River. |
