    You can read about it
    Overview
    PREMISES WHERE DRUGS USED UNLAWFULLY (closing 'em & stuff)
    HOUSING (Noise I guess)
    PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES ( Truancy (parents can get taken to court for letting kids play truant)
    DISPERSAL OF GROUPS ETC. (This sounds "evil", but walking to work with a gang of 20 10yrs chucking stuff at you is not fun. You can't retailate else you will be in the dock).
    FIREARMS (Illegal in the UK anyway, I think it aso covers fakes)
    THE ENVIRONMENT (Noise, graffiti, fly-posting, Waste and litter)
    PUBLIC ORDER AND TRESPASS
    HIGH HEDGES (again sounds evil, but a cause of a number of neighberly wars)

    This is normal done with ASBOs (Anti-social behaviour orders), if you are a twat X number of times, you have an ASBO stapped on you (spray paint loads or something), then if you break the ASBO (they can be farily "open ended", such as going into the area your last victem lived, owning spray paint), you break that you get taken to court.

    LWJGL is more an alt to JOL/JAL or maybe a SDL wrapper.

    I don't disagree, but YOU are adding to the confusion by not making the differece between SSI and MSs OSS.

  9. Re:They just want free development on Microsoft Planning on Opening Up More Source · · Score: 3, Informative

    Thus far MS has used the CPL for its OSS projects.
    Which (take a look at the URL) is OpenSource.

    The SSI is a different beast.

    Beep. Wrong.

    They have stuff under the CPL, such as WIX.

    The SSI is something else, it is aimmed at companys, and includes stuff like WinCE.

    This is mostly true.
    However, some language put extra requirements on the Runtimes. In Java case this is a GC. The GC, while is a great extra for most developers, for speed it can be a pain in the arse, and kick in during your game loop, slowing down the game.
