jamaltaI thought it was also sprite based.00:01
jamaltabut i think angry birds does use a floss physics engine00:02
mhall119I dunno, it looks vector based00:02
jamaltahttp://www.box2d.org/00:02

mhall119cocos2d, that looks nice00:05
jamaltamhall119: i thought it was only for iOS00:09
mhall119there's cocos2d for iphone00:11
mhall119and a regular cocos2d that's python00:11
mhall119http://www.cocos2d.org/index.html00:11
mhall119the regular one doesn't seem to have the physics engine though...00:12

jck77anyone here use macbook pro? how ubuntu runs? 16:53
jck77trying to invest in a good laptop that last at least 3 years or more16:53
zbrownjck77: I'd get a thinkpad personally17:41
zbrownjck77: cheaper and better support in general for Ubuntu17:43
zbrownand I suppose arguably more durable (I've owned two, both are tanks)17:43
jamaltajck77: i'd go with zbrown's suggestion. i use a macbook with ubuntu and it's annoying.17:51
jamaltathe nvidia drivers are not really all that great, and the touchpad support is just terrible.17:52
zbrownjamalta: hav eyou stuck 3.1 on your Galaxy Tab yet?17:53
jamaltazbrown: yeah17:53
zbrowni need to do that, been lazy17:54
jamaltathe plex client works now :)17:54
zbrownplex?17:54
jamaltai don't really care for the other improvements... i'm just glad they fixed whatever was broken with their video playback.17:54
zbrownjamalta: is it less crashy than 3.0 was?17:54
jamaltahttp://plexapp.com/17:54
jamaltai guess, yeah...17:54
jamaltai would say it is.17:54
zbrowni used it for a while but it really pissed me the hell off17:54
jamaltait's been working well for me so far17:56
jamaltaalthough the laptop i run the server on has a hard time transcoding 1080p video17:59
zbrownah cool17:59
zbrown(and sucky for transcoding issue)17:59
zbrownugh, need to write my yearly review17:59
jamaltathat sucks :\... i hate those18:09
zbrowni dislike having to talk about myself18:10
jck77zbrown jamalta thanks18:32
zbrownjck77: if you don't care about CD drive, X201 (or whatever the newer version is) is great18:33
zbrownI have one generation back of those and I get 9+ hours with the 9 cell battery18:34
jck77I guess is x118:34
zbrownone moment and I'll take a look18:34
jck77my sister wants a laptop too but she works with autocad so she needs a win machine :S18:35
zbrownjck77: mmm no, X22018:35
zbrownX1 is brand new series18:35
jck77ohh ok18:35
zbrownya, mine is the 12.1 inch form factor and they revamped with the new intels18:36
zbrown(to 12.5 inch)18:36
zbrown13.3 is actually a replacment of the older T30018:36
zbrownwhich people were pissed about them removing18:36
zbrownso they brought it back as an X series18:36
jck77looks really nice18:36
zbrownjck77: anyway, in short. I spilled a giant glass of water on my older Thinkpad from 2007. Sent it to them, they replaced mobo for free, didn't even care it was my fault and I was out of warranty18:37
jck77nice18:39
jck77the same x220 will handle the workload of autocad? 18:40
zbrownwith a Core i7 yes18:45
zbrownwith a Core i5, mostly yes18:45
zbrownwith a Core i3, maybe yes18:45
zbrownif you really wanted to ensure it though, buy yourself an SSD after market and use that as the HDD18:45
zoopsterjck77 why autocad...why not bricscad...fully compatible replacement and cheaper too19:05
zoopsterjck77: older mbp's run Ubuntu flawlessly...there are a few niggles in the newer models...my 3,1 runs it better than the newer machines and EVERYTHING works.19:06
zoopsterjamalta: what version of mbp and ubuntu? mine works awesome. even the touchpad works great19:07
zoopstermy stinkpad on the other hand sucks with ubuntu19:07
jamaltazoopster: stinkpad? i think it's 5,4.. i'm running 11.04.19:07
jamaltathe thing that upsets me about the touchpad is that you can't rest your thumb on it, or click and drag with your thumb + index finger.19:08
jamaltaclick and hold with thumb, and move with your finger, i mean.19:08
jck77zoopster: autocad because the whole office runs autocad and an specific version19:08
zoopsterjck77: bummer19:09
jck77zoopster: not only the office but also the consultants19:09
jck77and the problem with autocad is that if is a different version of autocad the file fail 19:09
* jck77 hates Autodesk 19:09
munzi'm trying to copy a file from an xp disk in ubuntu and got "Error splicing file: Value too large for defined data type" anyone ever recived this?21:30
