I think you've missed the point. Netscape will shit and go blind if you close your tags in the WRONG ORDER. Don't give me bullshit about standards and doing it the wrong way - its an annoyance I dont get with IE that netscape does (among other annoyances, this is just an example).
HTML is not a compiled langauge. If it was and gave me "Error: expected </b></center> not </center></b> at line 62" it really wouldn't bother me. But because netscape refuses to load because of such small, pretty things: its a pain to develop for.
Maybe Im in the wrong place. Maybe no one here has ever made a mistake like this (man imagine if your C programs compiled when you forgot a brace, and worked up untill that point and then behaved irradically)
We develop with java servlets, so using a wysiwyg editor is out of the question.
We do use Visual Slick Edit (the best damn IDE ever) which when I sometimes have to write a plain.html file (for whatever reason) it does not double check code for things that small.
I could use a wysiwyg editor for the small things, but the majority of nagging "petty" problems that snag netscape up come from the servlets, and again, no editor will double check your java code for html errors in your strings.
The buttom line it is annoying. IE never gives me trouble: netscape does. Thats how I see it, and thats all that matters to me. Go ahead and tell me how to do my job and how easy it to do it better.
Look, I know everyone here is a 1337 455 coder, and these mistakes are trivial. But its annoying as fuck to be working at 4am, and trying to hunt down why an entire page looks screwed up because you wrote this:
I'm not too sure if this could be done, but if it could, this controller would certainly give an unfair advantage to those who had it.
You can record "moves" on the fly. Well, what if you did this:
-First hotkey your townhall, to 0 (Ctrl-0).
-Create a "move" that will first hotkey whatever you have selected (say to Ctrl-9). Then select your townhall by pressing 0. Then it presses the button to build a peon. Then presses 9 to reselect what you already had.
-You've just made a "peon button" anytime, any where in the game you can just press it and it will build a peon for you, and you wouldn't even notice.
And you could do this with anything. Your gateways, raxes, hatcheries, etc. You could record a move to build a dragoon at every gateway you have. And you could do it all with a press of a button, and it would happen almost instantly. This would certainly give the user of the controller and unfair advantage. If you don't see why, you probably don't play much online RTS.
I remember thinking about cheats for RTS games. And if someone ever made a "bot" that would auto build your peons (similair to how the button works, except it would automatically do it every 30 seconds or so). Its probably not that hard to do, and I think it would be VERY hard to detect.
>>..so Sega is being very uncool...
"Sega... man... you've changed! you used to be cool! Now your trying to shutdown a site dedicated to giving information on stealing your games! You've changed man... you've changed".
Look, if Sega's uncool, its for the Sege-Cd, 32X, and all that other garbage they tricked me into buying:) Im quite happy with my dreamcast though:) What they are doing here is what any one of you would do if "stealbobsstuff.com" was open, and everytime you bought something, it was put on the site, and general info was given on how you could go about stealing it.
I love gaming. I game a lot. But Ive noticed a depressing chain the past few years.
I remember about 4-5 years ago in the War2 community. People seemed intellegent. People were nice. There was a community, and it was great. Yes there was the occasional "trash-talk" between clans (heh, Stormreavers). But generally, at least for me, I could play games for fun.
Now I look at the war2 community, and its terrible. People talk like "i raped u srub" or "0wNed". I cant stand it. I used to be able to talk with people after games in KChat. Now, I avoid it as much as possible. And all this trash-talking that goes back and forth. Its pointless. Its an f-ing computer game. Its a real fun one, its a real deep one, its a competitive one, but its a computer game. When people start insulting each other and become obsessed with winning... its just sad.
Im sorry, I just want to play games like I used to:(
Be sure to look at http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.h tml?i=1298&p=9 for benchmarks with the Det3 drivers. There is a big improvement.
I was going to get the ATI 64MB Radeon, but with a $400 price tag, and the GeForce 2 GTS 32MB being almost as good, Ive decided to save $150 and go with the latter. The extra 32MB may come in handy down the road, but... right now I can think of better ways to spend that much money.
For awhile I was facinated by these. I wanted one, I wanted one bad.I did some searching around and found
Arcade Controls. Great site with a lot of info.
But Im a wimpy geek that works 40 hours a week. I have no where near enough time to put one of these together. So I was going to find someone to do it for me. I found Arcade 2000. It seemed great, he seemed like a really nice guy. After a few weeks I was ready to order from him, then got an email from some former customers.
"Dont buy from Arcade 2000" they said. Upon further investigation, I realized this guy handn't shipped a single machine, and took over 6 months to give refunds, some didnt get refunds at all.
So what Im trying to say is: Dont buy from Arcade 2000 (or at least buy at your own risk), and I still want to buy an Arcade Machine, anyone know where I can get one?
Thats a page written by the person who won last years contest. Random alone is not the best, and the valuable part of this whole project is figuring that out....
I did this sorta thing on my own once, and I made an AI that would always beat the random player (and not by cheating and finding the next rand() number). Theres a contest every year that people make there own AI's for RPS. people who use random never win.
Pong is another good idea. I made a pong game in my qbasic class (heh, it was a fun class) with several different AI's with different skill levels. It was easy to make an impossible guy, easy to make an easy guy, but hard to make a medium guy. Thats where the challenge is.
I took the AP C++ course in my high school last year. It was pretty bad to say the least, the teacher was learning along with the students. Assuming the kinds are learning more than the language systax (ie, put it all together and make an efficient program without miles of spaghetti code) then there are tons of fun projects they could do:
I always thought it would be a great project for kids to program AIs for a game, and have them play each other. It could be something simple like rock-paper-scissor, or even something like checkers.
Just stay away from stuff like text-alligning, and obscure loops. Let them make games, thats whats fun:) Teach them how to use a database and they'll be able to get summer jobs.
Calling Starcraft a Dune II clone is telling me you've played either the demo, or N64 version. Which is a shame, because starcraft has been one of the best games of this decade. It's too bad if you looked at it and dismissed it as a Dune II clone. rattid
I mean, Q3RA is great, and Q3Fortress is pretty cool to...but I'd like too a new mod that was, you know, new. As opposed to an update of an older one. I'd hate to think people are running out of ideas... Counter-Strike is still my favorite mod.

Heres that details the changes you may have to make to netscape 6 compatible.

Well thats my 2c.
Please, neither candidate is going to make any radical changes. We've had presidents who've been against abortion, and it's still legal....
If you haven't seen it, you should take a loot at seanbaby's NES page. I'd recommend the this page to, be sure to watch the video. Pretty hilarious.
is to say I have a "Duron-Duron" setup....

opening my mailbox (in real life) and finding an AOL and Linux disk. wouldnt that be something?
