  • Lol WTF was that? xD

    That was just... really weird haha!

    Nice job at making a really random video. I liked how the car kept shifting into 4th all the time...

  • The 3D in this movie is a more TRUE 3D... not the anaglyph style red/blue or magenta/green lens 3D. It uses a polarized 3D enhancement, which means you don't get those weird colours in the movie from the lens filters, and you also get a dynamic depth of field, so if you move your head the image shifts (paralaxes) as if it were real life.

    Also, the technology they used to make this movie was epic. Most of it was developed and made specifically for this movie and has set some new cornerstones for future films (like the matrix circular camera thing). They use a special camera with a realtime processor of the 3D models that overlay onto the actor in REALTIME, so as they are being filmed they appear "in character" while in reality they are on a green screen wearing a leotard with balls stuck to their body.

    Personally, I can't wait to go see this film... even if it sucks (which I seriously doubt that it will) I will still respect it for several reasons. Also, the video game takes place before the movie to help understand the whole plot... so go play the game even if you have seen the film already.

    Nice! Congratulations! I can reach 26 kilobytes per second at home and 65 kilobytes per second at work. But my provider will implement HSPA+ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolved_HSPA) in 2010, so I will wait for that - so happy - event. Maybe, one day, my speed will beat your speed. Who knows...

    The maximum speed of Internet channel in my country is 2 megabit per second (for an ordinary user), scientific institutions have 0.5 - 10 megabit per second and more (used in the Grid Internet calculations, the full speed is unknown). Mobile Internet can reach up to 7,2 megabit per second.

    Crazy world...

    Wow man where do you live? I thought we had slow internet here... that's unbearable :/

    I average around 600kb/sec to 900kb/sec download off most sites... while certain sites (like local stuff, Microsoft, other large international sites etc) I get like 1.5-1.8Mb/sec...

    And I'm still complaining :/

  • Oh lord... this thread is made of win.

    Pure genius again there Deadeye, and Quazi's follow-up just made my day.

  • SoldjahBoy,

    100 mbps is nice (my 296 kbps is beyond your imagination), but how many sites can handle such speed?

    It's not exactly about one single site handling it... it's about being able to do many things at one time without the general internet performance being slowed down. For example, downloading from a torrent site, while watching YouTube or playing a game online. Also doing these things on multiple computers at one time... I have 5 systems in the house going all at once usually.

    Yeah, I was gonna say... what's the point of having the highest speeds available if your government is gonna censor all the good stuff anyway?

    It will never happen. The technoloigy is far too broken to even work properly, and all of the ISP's are refusing to implement the technology since it would send the majority of them broke.

    If it does get put in place, it won't last long before they have to roll-back on the idea, which then means it will never see the light of day again. There are too many reasons for it to never go ahead though... so as far as I am concerned it is still a scare tactic by the misinformed and uneducated government officials. Again, if it does go ahead they are going to have one angry-ass public on their hands with which they will not know how to handle.

  • Soldjah, I'm curious, how much was it going to cost? I, too, was unaware they offered that domestically.

    It was $129 a month, but included the phone with it... unlimited phone calls to anywhere in Australia including mobile phones. And no line rental. For $149 a month they threw in a PS3 with the new Singstar (yay >.>) and some keyboard thing for it. I was gonna get the $149 package since I'm still without my own PS3 D:

    It is an Optus exlusive deal, and they are currently only offering it in testing areas. I just happen to live in one of the areas they wanted to trial now.

    Currently I am paying about $70 a month for the phone as it is, and $70 a month for internet (150Gb ADSL2+), so the cost wasn't the problem... the wife didn't want to get locked in to the 24 month contract for the new internet just in case we wanted to change over or had issues paying at any stage. As it stands, we can cut off our current internet or drop it back from $70 to something cheaper if finances become a problem.

  • Australia is set to go from worlds WORST internet to the worlds BEST internet in the next 12 months.

    The problem with renting out server space is the pathetically small bandwidth allocation per month. 30Gb is all you get (uploads are counted as part of that). If you exceed the 30Gb you get "shaped" from 100mbit to 256k. **** sucks still.

    Also, there have been some attempts at physics based platform games... though nobody has released the events as an open source yet. I imagine in time there may be more examples of this kind of thing around the place... but you may have to try and figure it out yourself, at least for now.

    LOL xD

    Yeah, I backed out at the last minute. Price wasn't the issue, I can afford it... but being locked in for two years is going to suck. Seeing as this particular provider is one of the more expensive providers... once the cheaper guys get a hold of the same technology there will be a major price war and I will get the same deal for less than half the current asking price.

    For now I will stick with my current ADSL2+ (which is still reasonably fast anyway I guess) and look at Fibre in about a years time when it's more common in the household.
