Hey, wow, thanks for taking the trouble! The video in your reply works great for me. I don't need the visuals per se, just want to check out the sound of the band

I had a pretty good look for a backup embed which will work in Germany, but as far as I can tell the blocked one is the only version available with the animation : This is a bit of a shame, since my promote would've worked a lot better if the vid was available in Germany :

I did find this one, but couldn't work out how to embed:

There is also a live version from the German Music Festival in Paris, but I won't be surprised if it's blocked for you:

Well, this explanation is what happens on the hardware level, i.e. in the wiring inside the CPU. On the software side you can emulate the carry-over by allocating several pieces of memory and checking bounds and doing carry-over manually. So you're manually programming around the hardware constraints.

Trouble here is, the programmer has to anticipate that the given constraint isn't sufficient for the use case and needs to be worked around. For scores this was obviously the case. For the levels, I'm pretty sure that noone ever really anticipated that someone would go through 255 levels of pacman.

It's basically the same expectation management on a human level that brought us the fear of the Y2K problem.

Cooking? Are you planning on making some cadbury cream omelettes?

I'm very suspicious of pink goop. It may become alive and sentient in your body. Or creep out of the stomach right into your arteries where it will breed.

I keep having this mental image of Calvin (of Hobbes) at lunch in school telling Susy that it's Protozoa Spread with extra Amoeba Juice...

Well, I've seen the fluff, and to be honest, I still couldn't tell you what it is. Except seriously, deeply disturbing.

it ended in small children crying and teenage girl having an exasperate piss attack because I DIDN'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT THE HELL FLUFF WAS and a 4 year old can't explain it.

Fair enough. I was just confused, since most people I know on the sift work like this: don't like it - no upvote. It's objectionable - downvote. And for the life of me I didn't see what could be controversial in a series of abstract images.

I like some techno/metal as much as the next guy i suppose, but that video just gave me a headache. It was difficult to watch the b/w crep explosions over, and over, and over. Eventually i found myself saying "Yea...ok I get it...you can make a BUNCH of different shapes" Also the music/beats did little to swap me away from a downvote.

Dont take it personally chief. I just didnt like the video.

In reply to this comment by srd:
Any reason in particular for the downvote, or were you just feeling a bit atonal at the time?

While I don't mind the downvote per se, I am a bit confused as to the why since I can't see any immediately obvious reason. A quick comment would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestions. Nouvelle Vagues version is already on the sift: http://www.videosift.com/video/Nouvelle-Vague-Love-will-tear-us-apart-LIVE

No mashups?

How about Nouvelle Vague's version?

Say, whom do I bugger with bug reports? You, dag or blankfist?

Why oh why must you tempt me so to make juvenile comments?

Thanks for the feedback. As long as some people like my posts I'll keep posting, no matter if they get sifted or not . Re upvoting your own - I've seen a discussion about this a while back and it seemed to be a somewhat controversial thing back then. Don't know what the verdict is now, but I'd only use that as a last resort.
