Why AMD (and not Intel) Wants a Tri-Core Processor
Why the Velociraptor is the fastest consumer-level hard drive around
Why Nvidia thinks GPUs are the future (go figure!)
Why we think this GUI for websites is awesome. (this one is ok too)

ESDF >WASD

Submitted by Ristar on Fri, 2008-04-25 06:41.

I totally agree with you on the ESDF instead of WASD. I know it wasn't much of a topic, but using ESDF makes it much easier when playing FPS's. \ and z can be used to lean left and right, aqwrftg12345 can be used to bind weapons too. Even on games like WoW it frees up another 3-4 keys which can be bound to (which is important in a game with so many buttons).

-Great podcast.

Cooliris has to be good

Cooliris has to be good right? Look how many gradients it has. Fuckin looks like an apple app.

Gordon is right, the web was better when it was all text based and before every 14 year old was filling up my tubes with their myspace and facebook page. They don't even know what IRC is.

If you started using the web after 1997, please uninstall your browser and gtfo my information superhighway.

Thanks for reading.

Sure, I want a guy who doesn't know what a Caesar salad is watching my back during the zombie apocalypse.

batch processing

Irfanview is great for batch processing in resizing/renaming/change format photos, and its free!

woot

glad you're back will! the podcast is always good, but it's even better when it's full of smithy-goodness.

there was a question on the podcast about a program that will batch-process photos. i know several suggestions were given, but here's one more: irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm). love this program, and it's free!!

Image Resizer

Submitted by Redeye on Wed, 2008-04-30 07:51.

A bit late, but you can also use Picasa to resize images. Just select the images you want to resize and export them. You will get a few options to change resolution, quality, etc. It is pretty simple, but I easily take my 2mb each pictures down to 100kb each. I use that, since Picasa also imports from my camera and organizes my pictures for me.

Where is the podcast?

I am dying here! I need something to get me through work.

great podcast!

PS - my vote is for Irfanview

back luck edition?

Maybe they thought the satanic podcast (#66) wasn't worth producing this time...or else Gordon wasn't pissed off enough for the weekly rant :D

Just reviewing last week's podcast ...

Did Butters get any pizza?

P.S. The drive-by was awesome ... I'm still laughing a week later with the mental image of it.
