Java is mad good, and it gives you your generic bit-level manipulation stuff. If you're annoyed with the 'signed only' thing when manipulating bytes, just do this:
(someByteVar & 255)
This statement will return you an int with the value of the byte as if it was unsigned.
The only thing Java is bad for is parallized (sp) data manipulation. Matrix multiplication will be many, many times faster in hand-coded assembly, for example.
Actually, according to your message history, and the score you post at, apparently you're a troll. I'm now sorry that I wasted any mindwidth responding to your useless drivel.
]32 bit COLOR graphics DO contain more colors.
Believe whatever it takes to get you through the night, you ignorant fuchead.
Here's the thing, Booser. YOU ARE WRONG. 32 bit graphics modes on the computer you are currently using do not contain more colour information than 24 bit graphics modes.
That you insist on believing this fiction is strong evidence for the power of the Big Lie; now run along, McDonalds wants to make you smile.
A)If you had read the post I was responded to, you would note that they mention not being able to see the difference between 24 and 32 bit colour. I was explaining why this is.*
B)I've known about colour channels, memory alignment, and planes, since before you've been in diapers. Please take your foot out of your ass now, thank you.
* As an aside, anyone doing work in Photoshop will know the difference between 16 and 24 bit colour. 16 bit colour is just... blech...
Actually, the Americans worry about Cesis, and the Canadians worry about the FBI.
Y'see, it's perfectly legal to spy on other countries if you don't get caught, so countries have arrangements together to spy on each other's citizens, then swap information.
There's a good reason for that; that extra byte isn't used for anything except to keep memory alignment. That's why 32bit video modes are much faster than 24bit video modes
nanveth, huh? And you're talking about word massacres? I bet you knew that some browsers couldn't display your crackwhore wannabe Unicode characters. Christ, the irony must be killing you.
Some people have long memories. I think I've read this exact same post at least 3 times now. The part about Sisko hitting Q settles in the brain. You sir, are a fraud.
That can't be the reason; it's faster to check to see whether the value of a register is higher or lower than a constant than it is to mask a bit and then determine whether it's 0 or 1 (which are also constants, so you're not getting a win from that)
But of course, I could be wrong, but noone here has bothered to explain how it's actually done.

So let's see, your theory is that girls would never fuck for a ham sandwich. Who's subjugating who's sexuality, here?
If overclocking was that simple, then there wouldn't be websites dedicated to it.
All right, one more time now.
In 24 bit colour mode, you have a red, green, and a blue channel. Each of those channels takes 8 bits.
Yesterday, in Mrs. Gribbel's grade 6 class, you learnt how to add numbers together, remember? That's 8 plus 8 plus 8 equals? Why, it's 24! Wee!
In 32 bit colour mode, you have a red, green, and a blue channel. You also have an undefined channel. Each of those channels takes 8 bits.
Yesterday, when you were buying crack from Mr. Gribbel, you learnt how to find the cost of purchasing multiple items. 8 times 4 equals 32. Wowee!
So now you've learnt your ABCs.

Would that be their democratically elected government you're referring to? Dumbass.

If you know someone that bought a BMW and payed over $100 000 US, send them my way, I've got some swampland I've been meaning to get rid of.
Kidding. I just can't think of which ones cost over $100k, to be honest.
