Well then. We have math is similar to open source, and game programmers use math, so game community is based in open source. hmmm, I guess that might be true, but it does not sound all that likely, you'll admit. You might have a point but you have as yet to prove it.
And as far as who used what at the university in the last decade, well, I remember using vC++ most recently turbo c before that, and then before that, whatever was on the vax. most people over the last 2 decades that used a unix c compiler at university used cc, not just gcc. And they used it on solaris, etc. And no that is not the exception. I can say that after personally attending 2 different school hundred of miles apart(and working at 2 more), that used different systems, and who would have until recently all given you a blank stare if you had asked about gcc. Remember though that your personal experience is no guide to what has happened to others. On the other hand I can't think of one person thatI have ever talked to about the scool that they went too, who used gnu tools. I usually have to explain to the professors here why I am using it (lack of winXX at home, for the curious).
Oh and the game community does not come from this decade anyway. John Carmack started on a Apple][, as I recall, and he is certainly not the first programmer to write a game. He is, on the other hand, my personal god.

maybe you were serious, but I doubt it. Had me going for a sec, with the whole low UID and all
No comment on most of this post, but I think that by now we all realize that Quake feels smoother at 110 fps is due to the drop in the framerate during times of intense on screen action, such as rendering 20 people shooting rail guns at each other, etc.
By starting at 100, the game has farther to go before the rate drops below 60, which is the point it will feel less smooth at. In other words, you are kind of supporting the statement that 60fps is where it feels smooth, as when it starts there and drops below 60, you don't like the way it plays.
I do have to admit that being that silly about one part of your post does kinda throw a shadow on the rest

This sounds like the spam I get in my email everyday. Do you have ways for me to make money fast, too? Hows about some live nude girls? Do you work for them, or do they pay you for this?
I know that the reason I haven't used it is because it doesn't work(all I get from an encoding of anytype is a horrible green screen and reandom noise), and since I wanted a digital pvr, and vcr works just fine, I gave up on ffmpeg. Note: that was using 3.4, and trying it two days ago with 4.3
I admit though, once it works, It would be my preffered solution
Nope, in dark angel, the main charecter is a super soldier, and doesn't need a suit. There are the guys who put a little spider thing in the back of their neck, and feel no pain, and get adrenalized strength, but that's not quite super strength--no tank tossing, in other words.
What you are thinking of is the male lead, Logan, who has been in a wheelchair most of the season--he now has a pair of exoskeleton legs. All that, AND engaged to Jessica Alba. How can you not want to be that man!
You have been watching dark angel, haven't you? if so, credit where it's due. If not, well, you just described what happens to one of the main charecters who is in a wheelchair.
1st degree==sunburn, painful red skin
2nd degree==blisters on the skin
3rd degree==black or charred skin
that's from my remembrance of first aid in boy scouts
1st and 2nd degree CAN be funny, also from what I remember of boy scouts
Actually, if you use the Pay Pal system for other things, such as Ebay, it doesn't hurt to keep a few dollars in it. I think I usually have about 30 bucks in mine, and as I put it in there all at once, it cost $.30 one time. So I can make donations to people all over the place, and except for the original bit they take off, paypal gets no more money of those transactions.
In other words you can use it like a bank account that charges you $.30 to make a deposit.
actually, it's more likely that they just didn't want to bother, or that the phone was turned off. They almost certainly had the capabilty. think about it, for them to tell which towers it is near is fairly trivial, and there it just takes a direction and signal strength to calculate an approximate location. but if you thought that the police were going to go bust someone's door down over a cell phone, well, you might have seen COPS too many time
I have to say that he was talking about the Plains Indians, who happened to have been common in the area I am in (Texas Panhandle). About 2 hours north of here is the Paloduro Canyon, which, when I was growing, up always seemed like the basis for those Looney Tunes cliffs. Guess what is at the base of many of these cliffs? That's right, evidence that Plains Indians drove buffaloes over the cliffs-Buffalo bones
Back in the day(94?), when DOOM was new, my best friend played it on his laptop, which had no sound, as was common at the time. That meant DOOM played over the crappy pc speaker on the laptop, which was just annoying. So he played with no sound. In a completly dark room, with no sound, it could be a very creepy game.
HAH, got that beat! I am the operator for a VAX cluster....8 hours a day, watching all my terminals, making sure everything is still going....15 xterms that I use all day long....
Ever been to a junk yard? In the two cities I have lived in, during the last few years(houston and lubbock , tx), the junk yards have had a system that let's them check each other's inventory. If they don't have a part, they will often tell you that Joe's Junkyard around the corner does. In Houston, I seem to remember they had two systems actually--1 computer based, and a radio system that let them request parts, if someone at another site was listening

Actually, as I remember the had some help from 2600, or some other group of hacker type people, although I can't remember who at just this moment. So I woulud imagine that at least Hackers had permission?
Nope, each print itself is about 6000$--this is from years ago, when I worked in a movie theatre, and had to carry the prints around--and the damn things are now where near 30,000$. That is the cost to get one produced, which is a whole different story.
Think mass production, or software: it's a lot of work to write a program, but every copy after that is just the media cost. so rolling out more copies of a film afer initial making it is still expensive, but nowhere near as terrible asyou would have people believe!

It seems to lack the one thing that all other solutions that I know of lack, and that is the TIVO like functinality of being able to rewind or fast forward or pause as you watch something that is recording---just about everything else can be done on most any modern machine for a hundred dollars--just buy a Hauppauge winTv card for cable in, and a matrox dual head, for TV out, install vcr & xawtv, and your all set. get Broadcast2000, if you need to edit out the commercials , and use aviplay, or mplayer to play. I think what everyone is really waiting for is either a low cost mpeg encoder, or CPU, fast enough to play the movie while recording , while also playing back the movie
Yes, it takes the same amount of work to go the vertical distance, but you have the added component of the distance traveled across the surface of the earth, which as you may have noticed with today rising gas prices, does not come free. So you were right, but you were also so very, very wrong.

compared to 400,000 or whatever they are up to, it is. But your right, I think I misread it as 17,000.
