Interview with cartoonist Ted Rall, who has traveled to South Asia recently,
and has tips on how to deal with bribe-hungry border guards and the like:
Rall: Now I realize that's just the way it is, and I know how to do it and
get away without paying a bribe, or paying something very modest. You have
to show them that you know the routine and that you know you don't have to
give them anything, and just have a low-key demeanor. But if you get angry,
that's just going to make things worse for you. You get out of your vehicle
and you walk up to them -- you don't try to avoid these guys; you don't try
to avoid their eyes -- you go up with a big smile, give them a big
handshake and sort of rub their shoulders and say, "Hey, great to see you.
You're my new best friend for the next five minutes."
GROTH: Basically act like a used car salesman.
RALL: It's exactly like that! You always carry cigarettes. You offer them a
cigarette, and you say, "Hey, what's goin' on? How's it goin'? Great.
Here's my documents. How's the road?" Just small talk, because these guys
are bored. They're in the middle of nowhere, and you're sometimes the only
vehicle they've seen for many hours. They're often very drunk, so you just
have to be cool.

Rendering polygons is not as easy as it used to be, the reason being the vast
amount of different rendering techniques, methods and algorithms available. Not
only is choosing the right ones a problem, even worse, all that are selected
need to work together. There are some algorithms which simply do not work
together, and in that case, only one may be used whilt the other one needs to
be replaced witha more compatible method. This feature explores how Factor 5
approached the problem when developing Rogue Leader for Gamecube.
