really? Does it just do nothing? I have several friends who use osx and upload levels, and also I have tested it myself, so I am interested to know what the issue is. Maybe you are not using a US keyboard, and that is the source of the trouble? |

You could always but into the engine the ability for all switches to do more than one thing, this adds a little bit more complexity as stepping on a switch could make the puzzel very diferent. adds a bit of depth anyway. when it comes to how to make the level editor manage this, I'd say instead of a 'layer' having 'change this square to this' and then have a compound of those instructions. you could even keep the layer for backwards compatability.
btw, I have a really good level i want to post but can't, [ctrl]-u does not work on the Mac-OS-X version, nore does any of the options when holding down [ctrl]. (non of the other keys work either) |

Well this did a good job wasting about 20 minutes at work. A very charming game, I liked the British celebrities. Winston Churchill is certainly a formidable Boss, but he looks a bit more like Frank Sinatra... |

No, I do agree that discrediting science is a problem, I just don't believe that the stuff described begins to succeed at doing that. I mean, I found it kinda amusing at points, too. Though after a while, it got less so, for me. And yeah, the evolution example is a good one, I see your point, I hadn't thought of that sort of example. |
| |
Well, I imagine he does have an actual vendetta since he writes a weekly column about bad science journalism. He is definitely unnecessarily scathing towards the humanities. I find that kind of thing amusing, if I don't take it too seriously.
I on the other hand do see a terrible danger with the media discrediting science like this. For instance, one only needs to look at the popularity of "teaching the controversy" surrounding evolution for a serious example. (There is, of course, no scientific controversy worth mentioning, let alone teaching.) Popular perception of science matters; it drives funding and the acceptance of important ideas, public health, etc. |
| |
Heh, that "art is science made clear" sign does sound rather ridiculous.
Well, yeah, I did find some of the article interesting, and the picking apart of the general overriding trends in shitty science journalism in popular media interesting and compelling, but the incessant gripes against "humanities graduates" was just so bizarre and irritating. It made it seem like the issue was more some very personal chip on the author's shoulder being hashed out in journalistic form, like there's some vicious battle that author thinks is being waged between scientists and humanities graduates.
And then the author went so far as to obnoxiously do exactly what he complained HGs have been doing, which is to try to remove all credibility of the discipline, when making that statement about how humanities have contributed nothing in the past 200 years aside from the idea of cultural relativism, which did nothing to contribute to the point of the article and only made the author seem like even more of an ass with some weird personal vendetta. I mean, I have like no investment in humanities academia nor do I pay hardly any attention to it, and I still see what a ridiculous statement that is.
But I did find parts of the article interesting and worthwhile. Again, the analysis of the overall scientific reporting trends, and also the points about how reports and press releases shouldn't be published without anyone with a scientific background checking to see whether the reporters got the basics correct.
I don't really agree with the terrible danger that the author is trying to point out, though. I mean, even if it true that journalists are consciously or unconsciously trying to discredit science on the whole, I just really doubt that it could be working via these means. I mean, I feel that people in general pretty well realize that, so far as useful scientific developments go, they're happening all the time, but that we just don't usually see reporting about the actual scientific process. Instead we see stuff about new developments in the application of those things. And that the specific science reports that get reported on are generally more of the kooky things that non-sciency folks might find amusing, but I doubt that many folks really believe that that's representative of scientific work on the whole. I could be wrong, though. And of course, I'm not saying that there wouldn't be value in better scientific reporting in popular media. And of course I agree that scientific research shouldn't be totally misreported.
But anyway, I guess what I'm getting at is, there were some valid and interesting points I think, but the author also clearly had his head stuck a little too far his up his own ass. |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I've had mushrooms in my bathroom occuring along the floor (lino)where it meets the shower, at first i was quite amused myself, normally i am fasinated with mushrooms, they popped up in both corners, about three, i think the plumbing is leaking into the floor under the lino, each time removing it and pouring bleach on the spot. Heres where it gets creepy, the other day i was cleaning up my room, reaching deep in the closet to get some laundry a found one 2 inches tall, again growing where the wall meets the carpet. In a matter of a week three more have appeared and they go from nothing one day to a half a inch the next growing right out of the carpet. pulled out some furnature and found they've been thriving befind it and ate up the carpet, and i even found what was hopefully just a piece of one but i fear it may have been growing on my house coat, and while i was cleaning up a piece touched my hand and it was slimy. my advice do something before they take over |

Yeah, when you put it like that --- science journalists who don't understand science --- I understand your point much better. Nobody expects any less of business journalists to learn all they need to to report faithfully about business, legal journalists about law, etc. It is not only not too much to ask of science reporting that it be accurate concerning the practice of science, it would be irresponsible to demand any less. |
| |
Well, I certainly don't support the generalization to all "humanities graduates," since I have very many good and intelligent friends who are humanities graduates. I'll definitely stand behind it as respects science journalists who don't understand--nor strive to understand--science, and there are lots of them in the popular press. I do think that the coherence of their bad science points towards not mere bungling but an active (if subconscious) desire to discredit science.
Still, this phenomenon of science-ridicule is popular even among non-journalists. Example: at CMU there is a big red LED sign run by the theatre department, and one of the things it scrolls by every once in a while is, "Art is science made clear." I think this is just a really terrible sentiment. I love art, and even was a "humanities minor," but this statement implies that science is too hard to understand, to the point that it is unclear, and presents art as a (superior) alternative. From my perspective, art absolutely is not an alternative to science; it addresses a totally different thing. |
