1 Mbps is 125kbp or 0.125 M B it hits that average half the time. 

Jin Roh . I heard of it in 4chan as one of the more serious anime featuring modern weapons. I liked the story and some of its action aspects. Over all a good watch but its slow pace is not for everyone. My problems with it are a few Geek related ones: - The technology It was too high tech for something that is supposed to be in late 1960s. Camera based night vision, Armor that is able to soundly stop SMG/Pistol and carbine rounds are very unusual. - Tactical Doctrine. There was no dispersal, every Armored unit was carrying a Machine Gun. Machine guns are Squad weapons, 1 per 6-12 people are issued, and is primarily a "heavy" weapon not meant for urban combat. There are no tactical diversity on roles- no lighter fast reaction units, no variation in armament and individual unit roles, and no usage of combined arms. Basically the guy would go on a Terminator rampage. - Fast for someone who is probably wearing 20The Heavy Armored unit. The armor can be realistically compared t...

Engaging the Enemy . I've reached a point I'm angry at what I'm reading. "Engaging the Enemy" is the third book of Vatta's War. I'm half way through simply on the merit of Elizabeth Moons previous books: Serrano Legacy and the Speed of Dark. What Was Wrong: Right to Bear Arms 101. The NPCs and the badguys are unbelievably juvenile and clueless. I'm at the part where she is at a station and her arguments for self defense has been an over simplification on the philosphy of armed defense. Characters who are cops, administrators of autonomous entities, and the setting in general doesnt have a concept of armed vigilance as what was the established philosophy of the "right to bear arms". Sci Fi and Tech . I know the author hasn't heard of "tight beam" which is basically a powerful and directed laser transmition used by the more tech savy sci-fi writers for the "secure" transmision, because part of it exists today and the pr...

Miles Vorkosigan and Tyrion Lannister . hehehe, one of my favorite small people. These two guys have a lot in common: they are both considered gross deformations by their society and go through many challenges with more problems than regular people of even their given station/opportunites. Going through the web, I'm surprised not to find more discussion and comparissons about the two characters. How to Organize Intelligences: First off, there will be no Intelligence Stat. I won't even split it to several stats as Arson pointed out. What I had in mind was listing all the skills people are conditioned, instilled, practiced and educated on to the character sheet, hopefully using backgrounds to fill in minor details through some basic assumptin the background may provide. Then focusing in giving these skills, under their skill description, descriptive tags like: emotional or empathic (I haven't thought of the best tags for it). The Idea is not to outright define a Character...

I knew it! Well if you've been following me, after understanding how it is not multi-tasking its fast sequential processing. Anyway, I really need to follow the advice in this article. I bet it will allow me to form a productivity strategy in the long run to reduce work hours but increase productivty +20% to +50%. this is a Joke . A government with no credibility is offering a "bounty" on political killings. What is that supposed to do? You stop political killings by getting more expedient justice, giving the Press more freedom and protection, and giving people the ability to protect themselves. You just can't change the status quo with just token words or throwing money at the problem. In GT you use what advantage you have, regardless of moral or ethical dilemas- which is especially true with the oligarchs and the warlords here. Why would they stop killing? Its the most effective way to be rid of an opponent and the government has proven that they can get away wit...

Delegating is complicated . It is also a voluntary act of reducing one's own power. When you give someone the authority to act on their own they may screw up, or worse do their job exceedingly well. People screwing up with serious responsibility rarely happens. Its not like school, this is a job and things are serious enough that people rarely screw up. If they do screw up, its certain an aspect of experience and process than character. If it IS character then they should have never gotten the job in the first place. The problem lies mostly when there is a very low ceiling in a company. My family business suffered a lot from the piracy of trained personnel. The combination of a low ceiling, feeding your competitors an advantage, and ignoring the problem for this long is pretty much what I have to live with quietly and without comment. I have no right to comment, although I've done my share to improve the "feedback" processes as in guerrilla warfare fashion: moving in ...

Fading Suns . I've been wondering how to execute a Fading Suns game given the many challenges in developing it. I've gotten an inspirational idea, after hearing about the new TV series Kings . Having heard about it, I was told it had some shakespearian intrigue. I don't know what the difference of that is to Machievelan or Byzantine Intrigue. I've been poking about and from what I've found out about it is that it fills what I'm troubled with in the story element. A story, one with such a rich setting, can be restricted by the richness of the setting. The setting follows after the story, but in an RPG a game follows after the setting. The setting is the paramters the world is built upon, manipulating this is part of the Cause and effect that creates the Game aspect of the experience. Now, how do I resolve to play a Byzantine Intrigue game, while meeting my player's expectations. First off all, I have to really take a serious effort in defining what I want out...

My day . It takes me over an hour to go to work and go home. the audio books are indispensible and keeps me glued to my seat even when I do get home or work. In the center of the matter is how late it gets and how much time I have left at home before getting tired enough to sleep. Lately I've been waking up very late and going to work late. Thankfully, I'm just rendering and preparing a special effects for a new animated CG intro. Right now, I've just had my lunch and spent most of my time in idle reading, one of my few catharsis. Later, I have a meeting later with a friend for possibilities finding a larger market for 3d. In the worst case senario, I network and meet someone new on the best case senario I have my next big project that might give me enough reason to invest in a full time 3d Artist. In synergy Ateneo de Naga is offering 3d Services that may come in very usefull if we need more people to fill the project's requirements. Although i don't mind the worst...

Its been almost 2 years of waiting . No I finally have it. Fortunately Anticipation hasn't inflated the worth of this book, which would (of course) bring me down. Finally having tho is This book. I thought wouldnt help much but at a glance it will certainly help. Its specifically about mental ray. My current challenge. Anyway I'm busy modeling in detail some furniture.

planning to watch this once I get the DvD

Legion . I don't know what to expect from this movie, it sounds good but a lot of critics play it down. Anyway, the movie go'er wins... espcially me since I can use it as fuel for my Byzantine Game. Strangely the Cast mirrors a bit of the cast my players were planning to play. Byzantium . Reading a bit about last Legion got my juices flowing. Of course I'm sure they'll embellish a lot the costumes of the barbarians. Roman Hand-me-downs aren't that intimidating and a Roman-Wanna-be army is only scary when you don't have an army to fight it.
