Gaming: How Did They Design Crysis and Maxed It to Run Future Hardware?

Hi. If anyone has experience creating photorealistic games, how did Crytek design Crysis I to be maxed out for future hardware. What hardware were they using in the first place to run Crysis at max in their offices when it was developed if the hardware didn't exist yet? If they used a system with multiple systems on working in parallel, couldn't consumers copy that system to add to their existing ones (or pool systems with friends just run it at max while waiting for the hardware to do so. But so far at maximum resolution, 2000+ by 2000+, hardware today still struggles with it.). This question is also for Crysis 2. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Interesting. They didn't have any special game farm parallel rig of some sort? When they tested it in it's maximum 2000+ x 2000+ resolution at very high settings, they were actually playing and testing it at slide show framerates of 1 or 2 fps in their offices then? That's a pain to develop.

My photos has hundreds of garbage images. They are gfx and 'Resources'. How did they get there and how can I get rid of them?

This is an example of 1.

They will not delete. Thank you.

Where are you seeing these images?

I was taking pictures on my iPad and all of a sudden these single verticle and horizonital white line showed up on my pictures that connected in a little white box. How did it get there and how do I get rid of it?

Sounds like you have the Grid turned on. Tap Options and turn off Grid.
The grid is used to assist in composing a photo using "the rule of thirds". Rather than centering your subject line the subject up on a line or intersection of the line for a more pleasing photo. Landscape photos can also look better by aligning the horizon with one of the horizontal lines

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What do the blue dots beside the addresses used in the messages address and how did they get there?

What do the blue dots next to the addresses in the address book used to address (TO) someone mean and how did they get there. I unsuccessfully tried to use an email address, the message address line kept giving me a red "hand slap"with an ! Point.

The blue dots mean the addressee has a device capable of using iMessage.
Try using the phone number instead of the email address to send the message.

How did they acheive this?

Hi folks. I'm just designing for Flex, so I dont know any code or anything like that. I'm doing a Photoshop mockup of a Flex design. I'm new to Flex, so this might be a noob question.
In the flex style explorer I noticed some nice looking curved highlights at the top of the containers.
How did they do this?

Could I put an FXG inside an application controlbar as well?
Yes, if it's a Spark application. Components have skins. Spark component skins can contain fxg graphics. The programmer will have to create a new skin for the application component.
You should check out Flash Catalyst. It's a tool for creating Flex application designs without writing code.
You create the design and send the Catalyst project to the programmer
The programmer imports the poroject and writes the code

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

Rounded corners in Ubuntu - how did they do this?

In the latest Ubuntu 6.10 there are all corners rounded.

How did they do this? Is this some kind of hack for GTK+?

doesnt need to be a change of GTK theme/engine.
metacity can grab colours from GTK. take a look at the edges of the menu bar and all that spacing, metacity is using a wide border to allow it to be rounded, and grabbing the GTK theme's colour to appear seamless.
Aha! Thanks James!

New York Jets - How Did They Get That Name?

I remember the old New York Titans of the AFL, but then one day, they were called the Jets. How did they get that name (West Side Story?), and where did it come from?
Rod, are you home?
Hunt

hiya...hehe... was crying ...jets lost...boo hoo....
gotta admit ne pats defense and offense were just too good...couple turnovers and jets = dead ducks ( making that gargling sound in throat as they bit the dust ).
why jets name ??? dont know really...not definitetively...
My dad was into gymnastics pretty much entirely ( a little into figure skating ). not baseball or football. bowling a little as a " do it " sport, not a "watch it " sport. The only "watch it " sports us kids did ( only had 1 tv ) was gymnastics and skating olympic stuff mostly but some other competitions too.
Gymnastics is weird in a way...( as was my father ). It is extremely personal ( about beating your "self" ..doing better than you did " before" ).. very individualistic ...even though you are on a " team "... it's just points mostly for the team to win , accumulation of individual scores... father was very anti weight lifting, very opinionated about these things to his kids... so even when I got into wrestling, for example, or football ..in high school, he was very critical of any weight lifting that was part of the practice and training. He " coached " or " taught " gymnastics on Saturdays at my high school in a sorta unofficial (unpaid ) position...so me and my brother got sorta hooked into that more than doing football, wrestling etc. In fact, we started doing gymnastics when we were like 1 year old.. and it is so stated in some newspaper clipping by howard cosell (when he was a newspaper columnist before radio ) interviewing my father after a ny athletic club gymnastic competition ( trials for olympics sorta thing )... " Yes, Howard, I have 3 children, and they are already doing floor excercises and some tumbling... kirk, age 3, rodney age 2, and susan age 1 .... " that sorta thing. We were famous !
We could roll on the floor with pet dog real good !
This gives you general idea how I never got into "watching" football seriously, or baseball...I am basically ( like my brother ) a sport idiot re: following football and baseball like normal american kids. Of course I did follow favorite teams for a while in high school... ( oakland raiders were my favorite with a couple other teams kinda floating in and out of my interest ) but I have only been to 2 pro baseball game, never to any pro football game, and only 1 college football game ( army navy as guest of family who's son went to west point .. they got season tickets and tailgate spot etc ).
Baseball games were 1 polo grounds where the only thing I remember is having a hot dog and I dropped my plastic thing of mustard and for some stupid reason stomped on it... and it squirted mustard like it was shot from a canon onto this lady's leg ( stocking ).. and she yelled at me and I felt bad and said I was sorry and she tried to get it off but I think her leg was stained with mustard forever.
Other baseball game was yankee stadium box seat next to yankee dugout roof as guest of guy who's brother in law owns the boxes complete with free parking nearby and tickets to some yankee club after games. fancy seats ( 4 of them ). I put my beer on the roof of the yankee dugout, it was like right in front of me. I got a ball thrown to me by a yankee after pre-game practice ( as they came to dugout to start game ). Actually he faked me out at first...went to throw, I ( startled by his hand action ) put my hands up fast to catch.. but he didnt throw ( like faked me out )... but then as he disappeared under dugout roof his hand came up and flipped the ball right to me ( which of course I caught since I am so quick with my reactions due to rolling with dog when 2 years old ).
So thats my only baseball story of any interest. It was the game " after" the boston yankee game with the pine tar incident in boston with billy martin.. so this was the next day IIRC in ny with boston again... yankees won. and didnt have to do tricky stuff to win ( like complain about pine tar ). The mustard story doesn't get told often.
So now you know that I am a total idiot re: sports in general due to total immersion in gymnastics, and most of THAT was just doing it, not following particular athletes ( though of course some became sorta famous at the olympics etc ) We had high bar and parallel bars IN THE BACK YARD ! LOL... I once saw a friend try a giant swing ( we had no mat.. just grass ) and fly off and landed about 20 feet away ... he let go cause all the skin on his girly hands got ripped off as he was twirling around... goes to show you... be careful when trying new things.
His eyes had rolled up into his head so you could only see " white" for a little while... but then he came back to life ( whew ! ) . We quit for the day doing gymnastics.
Sooo, in answer to your question.. given my idiocy about these matters.. the Jets ( from Titans at polo grounds and 1 season I think at the new Shea Stadium --where the METS were ) with change in ownership and all that going on... could have been from west side story ( cause I think there's a long history of some stadium dreams over on the west side of manhattan ( which would be a total nightmare for traffic by the way ) ).. and since it rhymes with METS maybe.. and also maybe because when you go to shea stadium all you can hear most of the time are GIANT JETS FLYING LOW OVERHEAD on way to and from LaGuardia Airport which is like 100 feet away from home base.
A lot of New Yorkers liked the Jets at first because Joe Namath go them to the superbowl and won, much to the surprise of everyone on earth and mars too.. but really because it was a ny stadium instead of NJ ( everyone in NY makes fun of people in NJ ). The giants suffer for this cause a lot of people call them the NJ Giants. And now ( of course ) a lot of people call the Jets the NJ Jets too... since they left shea stadium ( which was a mess because they had to go on road games till the METS were done playing baseball...and then that stadium on the west side got blackballed again by a couple lawmakers in Albany ( they actually OWN the city and state, Sheldon Silver and some other guy ). Im not really up on that whole history of west side stadium but in part the cablevision guys who own madison sq garden dont want competition. They got it with the javits center for conventions but not for sports teams.. so I guess they're happy for now.
Now we got citi field and met life field and will probably rename the midtown tunnel " JP Morgan Tunnel " soon... but as I say, .... I don't go to any of these games and travel as little as possible so who cares.

anastasia808,
which model Mac do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?

I just got a white frame in the middle of my images in viewer mode. What is it and how did it get there and how do i get rid of it.

I just got a white frame in the middle of my images in viewer mode in Aperture 3. What is it and how did it get there and how do i get rid of it?

Just fishin' ...
Is by any chance "View→Show focus points" checked?
Does the frame persist after closing and re-opening Aperture?
Notice anything else different?
To post a screen shot, you first take it, them upload it. To take them, I use and recommend Skitch -- one of the best little apps ever. But this ability is built into OS X. Use Grab or Preview (search OS X Help for full directions). In Preview, use "File→Take screen shot ... →From selection ... ". Save the file in Preview to your drive. In the Discussion forum click the "Insert Image" icon (a camera) and select the file you created in Preview.

How did they do this effect?

How did they get this effect of the dots on her face....?
Thanks in advance...

Cool video. I'd say that everything is done in After Effects, including the 'dots' on her face.
It's a simple effect filter you can apply.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.
