4/10

Starts off as quite decent chiptune, but gets less than good at some point... which is further damaged by the naturally inferior instrumentalization.

I did put it in the IRC channel's topic for good measure. As for PoRA, that's up to the admins.

What Haz said.

Make it yourself if you want it. Hacking is not about asking around until somebody does something for you.

They are not for anything yet. Just ignore it and nominate some songs.

Harder, but not impossible.

Surely, you'd be able to come up with something.

Given the general slowless at the moment, I propose postponing the deadline.

I really don't see how the .hack song is supposed to be pretentious when the FF8 song keeps repeating four words of some kind of ominous faux latin prominently as in a failed attempt to sound threatening and mysterious :<

I consider that result fairly fishy, given that I most certainly did vote for my nomination.

Really, before starting voting, how about actually making sure more than two or three people have registered the existence of this thread?

I wonder how this would turn out with human rather than machine translators. Surely, you could assemble a sufficient number of people sharing different languages with each other and have them translate a sentence to one language the next person understands sequentially.

Oh, you'd be surprised how much information can be lost in translation simply due to language structure and customs if you just add the constraint that the sentence should sound good and natural in the target language.

I add .hack//G.U. - Full Force (vs Cubia Core), Star Ocean 2 - Field of Expel and, obligatorily, Seiken Densetsu 3 - The Sacrifice, Part III.

I think you should populate a bracket in a way that lower (per person) nominations are given preference, e.g. if 17 people nominated, you would first add their 17 first nominations, then 15 second nominations of the 15 people who nominated first.

A somewhat fair distribution (under the assumption that all nominations are spread into groups of four, with the canonical group being all four of a single person's nominations) would be the following (with the left column being the initial nominations at the left of the bracket in order and the right column being the same at the right):

1 ... 1
2 ... 4
3 ... 7
4 ... 2
5 ... 5
6 ... 8
7 ... 3
8 ... 6
1 ... 1
3 ... 6
5 ... 3
7 ... 8
2 ... 5
4 ... 2
6 ... 7
8 ... 4

It would ensure that
- no song in one group would be pitted against a song in the same group before the semifinals (in one group ≃ nominated by one person)
- no song from one group would be pitted against a song in the same distinct group in the first round (i.e. all first round matches are between different pairs of groups)
- the number of potential "similar" standoffs in the second round (cf. the above), e.g. two 1-7 matches, would be minimized.

A scientist, preferably in CS or mathematics. Science rules and it seems like a more meaningful lifestyle to me than doing pointless applied work for some corporation.

Things have been blowing up, probably due to a rogue apache2 process again (multiple processes quitting with out-of-memory errors, including the ircd and Kuro-chan). I'm not sure as to what caused it in the first place though; it might have been anything from a software bug via the HDD failing again to some kind of DoS.

It's good that you finally moved to a more streamlined/standard UI style.

Unfortunately, I guess .NET 3.5 means that I have no chance of running it in Mono...

Well, I'm 6'5" or something in imperialist units

Quite nice, although Haz looks somewhat thuggish for whatever reason.

Are there any editors for AW out there or are you more or less doing this on the bare metal?
