Another 50 Famous French Quotations

Another 50 Famous French Quotations Aspiring Francophiles are not the only ones who can appreciate these interesting observations and witticisms made by French thinkers throughout the centuries. As in an earlier collection touching upon the same subject, these well-known and not so well-known French quotations touch upon a wide variety of topics which bring to light some striking similarities in thinking between the French and American cultures, similarities which have often been ignored in the recent and not so recent past. Although the Franco-American relationship has all too often been characterized as being one of conflict and antagonism, the two long-time allies have actually always had more in common than they realize or would like to admit. And maybe that is the fundamental problem between the two nations. It could be that the regularly conflicting points of view between these two countries lay in the very similarities their peoples share with one another. But whether that is th

50 Famous French Quotations

From a little bit of Physics, we go straight to Literature 50 Famous French Quotations Want to learn how to speak french online? Read, " Learning, French Online " By Associated Content. You don't have to be an aspiring Francophile to appreciate this collection of well-known and not so well-known French quotations. They touch upon a variety of subjects and, contrary to what one might think in these days of difficult Franco-American relations, underscore the similarities between our two cultures. Although, politically speaking, the U.S.- French relationship has all too often been one of conflict, one seemingly formulated on the assumption that the United States and France are somehow "adversaries", it is all the more reassuring to realize how common our two cultures seem to "think". You are sure to find that this small collection of sayings makes these similarities apparent. Might it even be that the problems between these two countries lie in the ve

Adding Dimensions

After reading on both the flat (2D) and the not-so-flat (3D) dimensions both the Animation and Gaming Departments have already applied to their course, if not soon enough , I got curiouser and curiouser as to what otherworldly dimensions are still out there to explore. What's the point of stopping at 3 when Nature's math have suggested up to infinity? On the other hand, going as high up as the 100th (or a 3-digit dimension) dimension probably isn't a good idea if the late great Einstein himself settled for only 11D . So I googled the 4th to the 13th in succession and have briefly come up with a short description of each, but given my limited knowledge and limited time, the most searchably apt. If: The 2nd Dimension = length and height (x and y axis) and the 3rd Dimension = depth (z axis) both referring to S pace ; Then: 4th Dimension = Time (hypothetically, Tetraspace ) 5th Dimension = An American popular music vocal group 6th Dimension = Space for the Arts and Heal

What is the difference between 2D and 3D animations?

From AnswerBag.com: Top Answer out of 3 by Roguewarer 1 on Feb 3, 2007 at 9:52 am To that excellent, succinct, answer, I'd add that 2D tends to look "flatter" than 3D (due to the natural limitations of the horizontal and vertical planes). As Joe-Speedy says, 3D introduces "depth perspective," so we not only see a rectangle (2D) but a CUBE (3D). You may want to think of it like being the difference between a photograph of a glass of water (2D) and being able to reach out and actually pick up the glass of water (3D). Another good visual might be comparing a cartoon (say, Bugs Bunny - 2D) to "Toy Story 1,2 & 3" (3D). Typically, 2D involves "drawing," or movement on, say, a flat surface (sketch pad, etc.) or in the vertical and horizontal planes. 3D involves "modeling," i.e., creating objects in 3-dimensions, residing in an expansive virtual environment, replete with lights, reflections, other objects, shadows, etc. Answer 2 out of

The Endless Possibilities of Wii

3D Games on the Wii: Coming Soon! As I was busy looking for Wii Videos on YouTube for posting (what else is there to do?) , I stumbled across a Wii Remote hack by a guy who made a software that enabled the Wiimote to transform into an affordable digital Whiteboard. Thanks to researchers like Johnny Lee   a procrastineer  at Carnegie Mellon University with a keen interest to " enable techniques that can significantly increase the accessibility of technology" in his own words ,   3D gaming on the Wii can sprout up as early as May, 2009.  More projects from his website .
