this would be better implemented in minecraft and cannons.

you get cannons that launch hordes of microzombies into your enemies lava castle

OR we can just have headcrab cannons. :)

ohhh if only i had enough time to code.

No problem :D
And i tried ticking the "random yaw" flag under the entity placement, and It doesn't do anything.
I've only tried it with a few random entities and regular prop_static entities. So maybe it only works with certain ones?

I think theres a random yaw option somewhere but it didnt work IIRC.

wouldn't you need a program on the droid that would listen for read requests, then read and send the value?

Your computer is the master and your droid is the slave.

Doesn't the android dev kit come with the API needed to read all the sensors and mess with the bluetooth?

There has to be some sort of android dev forum out there that can help you with this.

Well You will be surprised how close DraftSight is to AutoCad.
I'm saying it's close down to the typing commands...

IDK if you use AutoCad with a keyboard (typing commands etc...)
if you type: LINE, it starts the line function and you pick 2 points, if you type CIRCLE, it starts the circle tool etc etc....
DraftSight is the same thing. It's reverse-engineered and it works amazingly.

Keep using autocad since it's legit - when it runs out however, you have a free tool (forever) that's 99% the same thing :-P

Oh also, DraftSight can import/export AutoCad files.
Commented 11 years ago2013-09-07 13:22:48 UTC in journal: #8243 Comment #62557
If you guys want a free version of AutoCad check out DraftSight. It's made by the guys who make solidworks and its almost the EXACT SAME THING!

As far as drawing to scale, stu, just make a note in the title block that says 1mm = 1m, or you can even go 10mm = 1m.

So long as the scale is noted, everything should be fine IMO.

Not all the time striker.
Your card won't be declined all the time.
And sometimes there's pending transactions that all don't clear at the same time. So if there's money in there, it'll be pending... say something else clears before a big expense and there's not enough money in there.. - BAM overdraft.

I keep at LEAST $500 in my debit acct at all times. I got hit with a bunch of overdrafts in the past.
Commented 11 years ago2013-09-04 16:01:09 UTC in journal: #8240 Comment #42223
That's the thing with debit cards.
They're used like credit cards but instead of payments, the money is subtracted straight from your bank. If you don't have the funds, you're penalized.

Sorry to hear Rim, overdraft fees SUCK!

I also use Paint.Net and the tablet is awesome with it.
The pressure you put down can scale the pen size and I think it's a fantastic transition.

I do agree though, there's nothing better than Pen/Pencil on paper

Freelance programmer
http://www.freelancer.com/work/freelance-plc-programming/1/

Tell you what dude, if you get into the Automation industry, and you know your shit, you are SUPER VALUABLE!

Some of these programming packages cost $10,000-$50,000. That's a huge initial investment, but they're no more different than the $200 packages. The thing is, these big companies don't want to invest that much in a single-time use thing, so they hire 3rd party contractors to do programming for them. Your client specs and buys the hardware, you show up on site with your Lambo and Laptop and type type type type DONE.

Learn to master the $200 systems, and then take a bank-loan to get the better sofware suite.

Its the equivalent of making the Wal-mart t-shirts, vs Polo Ralph Lauren.
They both get the job done, but the name-brand is more recognizable and has subtle advantages - such as higher quality and the name-brand recognizably.

So if you HAVE the name brand programming packages, and you HAVE work experience, and you know your shit... you can work as a freelance programmer, setting your own hours and wages.

$50/hr is cheap for any company, and your only overhead is travel costs, and the initial product investment which can be paid off in about 6mo working 40hrs/week.
After that its profit profit profit.

Get some big-name contracts in there, build some reputation, and your cost/hr can increase almost yearly...

My company does the same thing. We hire this dude out for $130/hr to program the bigger name PLCs. He shows up in his 2012 convertible corvette wearing flip flops and Khaki shorts. He's in and out in 3 Hours - pocketing $390...
Yeah - His life sucks.

LaVolpe,
Do you use a pen-tablet, mouse or a touchpad for your digital art?

I HIGHLY recommend a tablet! It's incredible how much better they are to draw with.
Also, what program do you use?

I agree with Archie on the swinging.
Either cancel the swing, or learn to kip.

This makes me want to do pullups. I can do 7 at once but I'm not exactly skinny haha.

I can attest for the AMD FX X8 8350. I have that processor and it chews through anything you would ever need.

Definitely get a Solid-State Hard drive, and plenty of cooling for the processor.

Do not get AMD CPU. The newest processors are huge shit
