EOF n. [abbrev. End Of File] 1. [UNIX] The keyboard character (usually Ctrl-D, the ASCII EOT (End of Transmission) character) that is mapped by the terminal driver into an end-of-file condition. 2. Used by extension in non-computer contexts when a human is doing something that can be modeled as a sequential read and can't go further.
Walang bagong pangyayari sa buhay ko. Ang ginagawa ko lang ay sulat, nood ng TV, Ghost in the Shell sa Playstation at tingin sa Witchblade. Kaya magbabalita na lang ako ng mga nababasa ko. Ang medyo significant lang na pangyayari ay ang pagkakaroon ng gulo nung Sayonara Party sa dorm namin, dahil yung isang African na nakatira dito ay nagwala. According doon sa isang medical student na kakilala niya, diagnosed with Depression daw siya at baka nag-overdoes ng anti-depressant.
Biglang bumagsak ang air temperature ngayon
to 8-9 degrees. Tapos ang lakas ng hangin, tumatagos sa bintana ko. Parang na-rinig ko na ang phenomenon na ito a. Eto na ba ang pre-spring super-winds?
Na-arrest daw yung writer ng Space Battleship Yamato (English version: Starblazers) for drugs. Nahuli daw siyang mayroong marijuana sa kotse niya.
Asar yung mga sports analysts ng Japan Times sa McLaren for fixing the finishing line-up. Hindi daw dapat pinauna ni Coulthard si Hakkinen nung dulo. Ang reason nila ay kawawa naman daw yung mga nag-bebetting sa F1 kung ginagago lang nila ang finish.
May bagong mga anime TV series na lalabas sa TV Tokyo this April na mukhang interesting. yung isa ay bagong Silent Moebious series (Blood's Destiny) at yung isa pa ay bagong Lodoss TV series.
QUESTIONS SA LECTURE
L> Baka isa pang factor ito sa Nagkawaratan, dahil hindi nila nakikita yung subtleties added dahil sa Rich Text Format.
Eh diba nag-comment nga si Santo na mahina as a communications medium ang text when compared to conversation? Ang lumalabas sa akin dito ay parang na-trap sila into trying to transform conversation into text (kaya parang nagmomonologue sila sa mga CNN nila dati - Perennial chatter effect), and not into reading text as text. Lalo pa kung nag-rich text ang format, kasi yung mga sudden color changes, mga references to pictures na contained within, nagmumukhang kalokohan lang sa kanila.
Ang nakakapagtaka, wala pa rin silang ginawa upang mag-phase shift sila outside the text medium, kung nahihirapan sila doon. Unlike mga Big in Japan, hindi naman grossly impractical sa kanila mag-drop by a couple of times, even when not specifically asked to. Ang lumalabas, mas-madalas pa si Agham dating makita kaysa sa kanila. Naaalala ko
ang sinabi ni Lagoon kay Santo after GT III.
Unless nga naapektohan na sila ng mga prejudices beforehand. Meaning, ayaw na talaga nila tayong makita since before. Pero lotal ito presumidong conjecturing.
L> I won't be there when the Jailhousers, fat and complacent with their big jobs, realize that they haven't really done anything and
have wasted so much time.
Medyo similar din ang nasasabi ko kay LSP sa e-mail sa kaniya. I was telling some bits about what I planned to do after getting back from Osaka regarding post-graduate studies, academic lifestyle. From what I've seen, I don't think I want to put my services into some corporation until I die when I could be discovering new ideas as a researcher or something like that, kaya para sa akin, more or less given na na mag-popost-graduate studies ako.
I remember before when I asked Dis what job a creative-writing graduate could do, his first response was mataas ang suweldo sa copywriting. <not exactly verbatim>
GAMES
Hindi ko muna ipopost ang revised MS specs for GT V dahil hinehentai ko ang final decision sa G-3/Hyaku Shiki controversy. Para sa akin, hindi malaki ang difference dahil hindi ko gagamitin ang G-3 talaga, tapos ang Gelgoogs of Triskelion at Four Horsemen nag-reatin ng teams. Ang Twilight naman, since advanced ang tema ng team nila, ay mukhang hindi rin apektado. Kaya sa akin, okay lang palitan into Hyaku Shiki ang G-3.
Puwede pa ba magpalit ng team name? Gagawin
ko na lang Section 9 kami.
H> Ano `to, pwedeng magpalit-palit ng gamit bawat laro?
Puwede dapat. MAy racks naman ang R-series Zaks para mag-hold nung mga accessories na wala sila diba? Masyado kasi silang mahina kung walang mga extra kalokohan kaya kaya naman siguro dalhin lahat ng gamit.
Ang puwedeng gawin ay ang starting setup ng equipment ay pareho every game, at kung magpapalit-palit ay kelangan gawin sa first round. Pero wala naman akong tutol sa nakapag-exchange na bago pa magsimula ang laro.
L> Dapat ang nakalagay sa box ng WC : Prophecy, YOU MUST BUY A BRAND NEW COMPUTER WITH THE LATEST HARDWARE TO PLAY THIS GAME.
Sabi doon sa kahon ng WC:Prophecy, mayroon daw Blair, Maniac, and Rachel doon sa kuwento. Pero hindi namin napansin kung sila Mark Hamill ang actor. Ang taba-taba na noon eh. Mali kasi yung casting ng WC3. Kaya naging pinaka-lotal na WC. Pero, kaya pa naman ni Sam/Max (hindi ko sigurado kung ali ang Pentium II) paandarin eh. Pero, may graphics accelerator card ka ba? May Love and Peace sa lyrics ng endsong ng Ultraman
Dyna.
A> Gamitin kaya natin ang transit calculations para i-predict ang mangyayari sa GT V
Subukan mo. Tingnan natin kung ano ang mangyayari. Baka puwede mo na rin i-predict kugn totoo ang hindi na magkakabalikan at kung kelan ang hinehentai na earthquake.
H> isa pa. Ikaw lang ang nabinyagan.
Ay, oo nga ano. Malakas kasi ang power ni Rolando nung panahon na bata ako eh. Sa Mahiyain pa nakatira kaya nalotal. Ano kayang epekto noon sa Diyos kapag mali nga tayo? Papapasukin ako sa Paraiso kung mag-confess ako ng lahat ng kalotalan ko? Wala pong Diyos Meyor.

Sewer Demon
These individuals tend to be Street Samurai who got just a little too in touch with the ugly side of their bioware/nanotech. Sewer Demons purposely confine themselves to the sewers because they realize that, above ground, their methods and mentality would eventually get themselves killed. Sewer Demons have unbelievable control over their bodies, possessing the ability, be it cybered or not, to filter gasses, move amongst sewage undetected, blend perfectly into walls, slow their heart rate to the point that it is undetectable, and lower their body temperature to normally fatal levels. The physical form of a Sewer Demon is almost skeletal, yet possessing flesh which looks as if it is flopping and dripping right off their bodies. Many have had horrid cyber modifications, often removing entire limbs for the sake of installing large blades, spikes, hooks, or any other imaginable piece of paraphernalia. Remarkably many have contact corporations, usually through corporate installed headgear, and are often called upon to intercept targets traversing the sewers. Corporations occasionally send out agents to locate the Demons and offer them modification, drugs, or whatever for their future services. Modification surgery is usually performed hastily, right in the sewer. Rarely does a Sewer Demon survive more than a year or two after he or she is initially modified.
Elder Children
Elder Children are adult individuals who have been modified through drugs and surgery to appear as children. The procedure usually involves intense chemical treatment, bone shaving, skull size reduction and other horrid procedures. These freaks are usually produced by corporate laboratories and, occasionally, underground medical facilities who then rent them out. The subjects are usually kidnapped pedestrians, drug users, or the occasional mercenary who ended up into a bad situation. As the body is reconstructed it is usually packed with every conceivable piece of cyberware, all of which is specially designed to appear virtually undetectable. The individual is then brainwashed or kept on drugs so they'll remain obedient and
submissive. Elder Children are primarily used for high level infiltration and assassination missions during which a child can get relatively close to the target with little heed paid to their presence.
Shriekers
Shriekers are kidnapped individuals, normally everyday pedestrians, who have been turned into disposable agents through the installation of a piece of cyberware nicknamed a Scream Link. The cyberware is an external/internal electronic device, installed along the back bone, which contains a small receiver, tracking beacon, nerve stimulating device and an explosive charge. No real surgery is required for instillation, the device, about twenty centimeters long and eight centimeters wide, is simply plugged into the individual by pushing several barbed pins lining it through the flesh and into the spine. The device is preprogrammed to allow the individual to travel along a two kilometer wide path to a specific location. If the individual traverses outside this area the device will automatically explode, killing the wearer and anybody in the immediate vicinity. The device can also be detonated by remote control. Normally the wearer is promised that he or she will be released and the device removed if they carry out a specific mission, normally some kind of delivery. Half the time the delivery is actually a hit and the explosive is detonated by remote control when the individual reaches the destination. The name Shrieker originated by the tendency for the victim to let out a horrid, high pitched scream a second before the explosion takes place.
